I do the best I can for my nails. I take biotin every night. I use base coat when I wear nail polish. I try to avoid harsh polish removers. On occasion, I would rub some argan oil on my nails and cuticles. But that’s pretty much it. Until I met Nail Butter, a game changer for my nails!
Nail Butter is a thick cream that the directions say to apply to the cuticles and nails twice a day. Because it takes a while for the butter to sink in, I must admit I’ve been applying it once a day, at bedtime. It has a wonderful lemon herbal scent that smells to me like lemon verbena. I love it. (Oh, I just looked it up, and the scent is Lemongrass and it also comes in Gardenia.) In addition to applying it to my nails, I’ve been putting it on the sides of my thumbs to help stave off the exfoliative keratolysis I get every May or June, and so far, there’s no sign of it, fingers crossed.
I wish I had taken a “before” photo of my nails and cuticles. I’ve been using Nail Butter for 3 weeks. Before using Nail Butter, my cuticles looked thick and were quite visible. Now, I can hardly see them, and they are much softer and easier to push back. Also, in spite of the ridges that I’m afraid are inevitable when you get older, my nails look and feel much healthier. Recently I wore a glitter polish with hearts, and I had to scrape off the hearts which was not so great for my nails. I put Nail Butter on and the damage was gone. Yay.
Nail Butter is all-natural, made from essential oils and lanolin. It does not contain parabens, sulfates, phthalates, artificial dyes or fragrances. It’s not tested on animals. It works by creating the optimal moisture level for nails and skin. It can also be used on toenails, and I’m going to start doing that too!
It’s made in the U.S., and comes in what I consider to be a good size jar (I can’t find the actual size but take my word for it, you get a lot). It’s priced at $24 including free shipping in the U.S., and you can get 10% off by signing up for Nail Butter’s email list on their website. In addition, by signing up, you’ll be the first to find out about discounts, giveaways etc. I just found Nail Butter on Facebook too.
Do you use any kind of treatment product on your nails? Have you tried Nail Butter?
Oh I love the smell of lemongrass! Your nails look so healthy. Nothing seems to help mine. Maybe this would. Thanks for the review.
Thank you for commenting, Laura! Nail Butter has made a difference for my nails, but then, it’s just gardening, aging and regular wear and tear that it has to deal with. My friend, Amy, just told me she bought some after reading my review and got 25% off, but she too has damage from gardening and tiling her bathroom rather than health issues.
I absolutely love lemongrass! This sounds like a really amazing product, but you had me at lemongrass!
I guess I’m a lemongrass scent lover too, Lola! It reminds me a lot of the lemon verbena I grow in my garden. I love putting this stuff on, and it really has helped my battle weary nails 🙂
I love a good nail butter! Never tried this one, but I have a tin of Burt’s Bees lemon butter sitting on my night table right now.
I’m new to nail butter, though I did use a Barielle nail treatment cream for a while. The scent of this is just amazing! I’m sure the BB lemon butter smells great too
This sounds really nice! I’ve been using Egyptian Magic on my fingernails and as a lip balm, but I would like to try this when I run out!
I’ve been so curious about Egyptian Magic, Sammi. Where did you buy it?
They sell it in the Birchbox shop!

Thank you, Sammi. Wish I could visit NYC and stop into the Birchbox shop to see it and everything else 😉
Also, on line.
Thank you, Jane!
Cuticle product junkie right here! I just started using Nail Butter so we’ll see how it goes for me!
Kat Dinges recently posted…China Glaze – Desert Escape
Hope it works as well for you, Kat, as it does for me!
Sounds like a great product and one that I need to look into asap! My cuticles are looking pretty rough lately.
Leigh recently posted…The Urban Decay Naked Smokey Palette is Coming July 8th!!
I have become addicted to it, Leigh. Plus I adore that lemongrass scent. Definitely has helped my winter dry nails and gardening ravaged cuticles! My friend got 25% off today by signing up for their email list if you decide to take the plunge 😉
Your nails look great! This sounds like such a pleasant moisturizer.
Thank you, Judy! This is the first nail treatment product that I have really loved. The lemongrass scent is incredible too.
I need this in my nail life. I love the smell of lemongrass. This product looks amazing.

This sounds lovely. I enjoy lemony scented cuticle creams.

It’s a really good nail butter, Stephanie 🙂
I’ve never heard of nail butter before. This looks awesome! My cuticles are always a mess so I should definitely get my hands on this or something like it. Great, thorough review!
BeautyBeyondTheScale recently posted…Friday Night Ramblings – How I Saved My Ruined Clothing With $2 & 15 Minutes
Thanks, Denise. Nail Butter really made a difference for my dried out nails and cuticles. I had been using argan oil on them whenever I’d think of it, but this has been more effective for me.
I am going to try this nail butter. Your nails look so healthy and strong.
Thanks, Tee! I have had good luck with Nail Butter. It has definitely made a difference in my dried out nails and cuticles.
I have always hear such great things about Nail Butter but the price always scares me off! Your nails looks great!
Ameerah@ValiantlyVarnished recently posted…Zoya Island Fun Collection Swatches & Review
It is pricey, Ameerah, but it’s a very good product. A friend of mine signed up for Nail Butter’s email list today and got 25% off and free shipping so it puts it more in reach.
Sounds like a really good product! I’m horrible when it comes to taking care of my nails. This product sounds really nice, though and they made your nails look nice 🙂
Vivienne recently posted…May 2015 Favorites
Thank you, Vivienne. It’s a lovely product, and now I’ve started a good habit in using it every night and during the day if I’ve been digging in the garden.
sounds so fabulous! Like perfect self indulgence.
Erica @ Coming Up Roses recently posted…3 Ways to Minimize Student Loan Payments
Hmm, that’s an interesting way to look at it, Erica. I hadn’t thought of it as a self-indulgence since it’s an extra step that I don’t usually perform, but the complex and unusual scent and the texture could definitely make it an indulgence!
I’m ordering this. I’ve had terrific results with Trind, but it doesn’t seem to work for me any more. Your nails look great
jane-in-tx
Jane, I hope you have as good results as I am. I love the lemongrass scent, but it is different: lemon + herbal! My friend signed up for the email list and got 25% off the price plus free shipping. Let me know what you think!!
I got 25% off, too! Only 18 bucks! Much better price than Trind.
Can hardly wait to get it–shipping is free, too.
Thanks for this review
jane-in-tx
Oh, good, Jane! So happy you got the discount and free shipping. I haven’t tried Trind, but I’m happy with this one so it’s all good 🙂
I NEED some nail butter!
Phyrra recently posted…Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette
Hopefully, you shall get some Nail Butter! I love love love it too!
I tried a product sorta like this (it was from Lush) and it was awesome. This product looks great and there is nothing wrong with having some great looking nails.
Nail Butter or nail treatment creams really are a necessity!!
I have this and have been using it at work! It’s been really nice!
Lisa Heath recently posted…Cirque Colors June Metropolis Polishes – Nolita Lolita & Golightly – Swatches, Review and Quick Nail Art
That’s great, Lisa. As a nail blogger and an accountant who must handle a lot of paper, I’ll bet it’s helpful. Also you have stunning nails!
Oh I might need this. My nails are terrible. I have a ‘nail strengthening’ cream but i don’t think it works.
This is more of a nourishing treatment, I think, Tess. It has made my cuticles almost invisible, and my nails that were dried out from winter and roughed up from a lot of gardening healthier looking and, I think, stronger too but I also take biotin capsules every night. Have you tried biotin?
I’ve read nothing but raves about Nail Butter. It sounds like the answer to my nail problems.
MarciaF recently posted…Oil Essentials has 6 products that could change your beauty routines
The scent alone is worth it, Marcia. But Nail Butter really has succeeded in making my cuticles look nearly invisible and in making my dry nails look and feel more hydrated and stronger.
Oh man I’ve been wanting to try the Nail Butter. I’m an avid cuticle oil user but I do like something more rich for my nails.
Mai recently posted…DIY: Homemade Cuticle Oil
I enjoyed reading your DIY cuticle oil post and recipe, Mai! What I like about this is it stays on and really sinks in. Plus that scent!
I need this PRONTO. I’ve horribly denied my cuticles
Miranda Mendoza recently posted…Swatches: Zoya Island Fun Collection Summer 2015
It will make your cuticles smile!
I’m looking forward to trying this – I love lemongrass, and you know I’m pretty hard on my hands and nails, so I’m always looking for that HG treatment!
Nidia – Lit From Within recently posted…Butter London – Shine Out Loud
You will love it, Nidia, the scent is amazing. And for a nail blogger, this would be a necessity 😉
I should take care of my nails, really! This sounds promising

It’s a wonderful nail treatment cream. I actually look forward to putting it on at night!
This sounds like a wonderful product! I have to add this one in to my never ending wish list.

Everyone seems to love this stuff. I’m glad to hear it really works for you. I think I’ll have to try it out next (I’m currently using the Burt’s Bees cuticle cream)
Bailey recently posted…Yves Rocher Bleu Vegetal | Summer Creation Collection 2015
I haven’t tried the Burt’s Bees cuticle cream yet, but I’ve heard good things about it and its lemon scent, too.
Nail Butter is so good to my hands and also so good to my heels as well. I slather it on my feet before bedtime and this far into flip flop season, I don’t have gross heels yet!
Jessica recently posted…Girly Bits Bette Davis Eyes swatch PLUS Accidental PPV comparison
That is a great tip, Jessica! I haven’t used it on my toe nails yet since I got a pedicure right before I received this, but in between polishes I will definitely try it. Wish I’d known about it this past winter coz my toenails would look much better now for summer!
I want this in my lifeeee!

Thank you for sharing your experience. Your review of Nail butter sounds helpful, as i have extremely dry skin and my cuticles remain dry all the time. I am currently using Jojoba oil. But i need better solution, so i gotta try this Nail Butter.
I found it to be a very effective nail treatment cream, Alpana. I know you’re a nail blogger so you might really enjoy it. Not sure if you’re in the US, but if you’re interested, my friend discovered yesterday that if you sign up for their email you get 25% off and free shipping in the US.
I need to try this. My goal is to try ALL of the cuticle butters and oils LOL. Seriously though, Allison, your nails and cuticles look super healthy!
Thanks, Amber! It is such a great nail treatment, I just love it!
It sounds fabulous!
