Description
This butterfly print nail brush is a small, hard-working piece for the basin, with a natural beech wood handle and a neat block of cream polypropylene bristles. On top sits a deep brown butterfly, its wings picked out with fine lines and spots, with a small sprig of leaves on each side. It is a mini brush, 6cm long, 3cm wide and 2.5cm high, so it sits comfortably between finger and thumb and takes up barely any room on a shelf. The pale grain of the beech shows all around the print, giving it a warm, simple look that suits a bathroom with plenty of natural materials.
We think it belongs by the bathroom basin or the kitchen sink, wherever hands need a proper scrub. It is handy after an afternoon in the garden, a session of baking or a weekend of painting and odd jobs, getting soil and grime from under nails and around cuticles before you wash. Because it is so compact, it also fits easily into a wash bag for travel or a gym locker, and it will sit happily on the side of a bath or a soap dish without crowding it. The butterfly gives an everyday task a little charm.
The beech handle has softly rounded edges and gently curved sides, and the bristles are set in tidy rows across the underside. As with any wooden brush, it lasts best when it is rinsed after use, shaken to remove excess water and left to dry in the air, ideally on its side or bristles down so water does not sit in the wood. Avoid leaving it soaking in water. Pair it with a favourite bar of soap and a soft flannel for a thoughtful little present, or keep one by every sink in the house.
