butter LONDON’s gonna go broke!

Okay, perhaps not TOTALLY broke. But with their new Turn In Your Toxins Earth Day deal, I’m totally planning on cashing in six old cruddy nail polishes for two new shiny ones. (I double-checked the site’s fine print, and it looks like each customer can do this 3-for-1 deal twice, for double the fun.)
More than anything, I’m excited to check the place out and get a feel for it. I’ve been wanting to explore their products and treatments ever since I first spotted them in the Sea-Tac Airport terminal, especially since they don’t use any unhygienic water-based treatments. (I’m a bit skeptical about ingredients, because “free of carcinogenic toxins” doesn’t necessarily mean their stuff is free of the zillion other ingredients my skin hates. But it’s a start.) And they’ll do a straight-up polish for just $10, which is nice — I don’t actually enjoy the full-on manicure… not a good service for control freaks such as myself!
Most other natural nail polish brands are sadly pretty worthless — I’ve heard from EDSers that the polish by Honeybee Gardens is a very weird formulations that’s slow to dry and hard to remove, and I’m not a fan AT ALL of those peel-off versions that remind me of fake makeup from back before I was permitted the real thing. So this may be a nice compromise, at least until something better gets developed.
