Let’s check into Spring/Summer with BUTTER LONDON Nail Lacquer’s new collection that just came out. I’ve been out of touch with the 3FREE brand for a few so I didn’t know that they had finally changed the way the cap is. It used to not pop off to reveal the round top you hold to apply the polish. So much easier and I did point this out in one of the last features I did on the brand.

Anyway, this current collection is popping with bright colors and softer opaques. The two I tried here were so up my alley, it was creepy, and I can’t even decide which is my favorite.

Wanna see swatches and close ups? How about some really cool new nail art that's easy to use? Click after the pic!

Not enough. It’s become a pet peeve of mine to see her on the gossip blogs with really chipped polish and she doesn’t even sport the chipped polish done for the effect; the “OMG, I’m so busy and wanted that I don’t even have time to do my nails!” No, hers are chipped in the “I really don’t care about anything” way. May I suggest BUTTER LONDON 3 Free Nail Lacquer ($12 @ beauty.com), Britney? 3 Free? Free of the three most common chemical toxins found in nail polishes these days: Formaldehyde, Toluene or DBP, so the're even safe for the boys, if that's your thing.

And might I suggest a couple of colors for you, Britney? How about a ‘putty meets mushroom’ for your fingers? Ok, Fash Pack it is. And for toes? Hmmm, how about Branwen’s Feather? It’s a nice blackish-purple and In Style magazine loved it this past January. And these polishes wear just as well as your other brands.
While I like the rectangle packaged polishes, closing the bottle after using it is not so easy. The threads inside the cap and on the glass have to line up perfectly to twist the cap back on because if they don’t, it goes back on wonky. A little annoying, but don’t worry Britney, I’ll help you with the caps.
