Green To Your Fingertips!
Perhaps of all the beauty products women patronize, it’s nail polish that is considered the most toxic. Just think of how much it smells. It reeks of chemicals, isn’t it? Nail polish contains toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate, otherwise known as the toxic trio. These chemicals are linked to cancer, reproductive problems and asthma.
Vanity can be a toxic thing. If you’re really into going green, you should be staying away from this already. But if you’re fashion forward and style savy, this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a little bit of indulgence.
Thankfully, makers of nail polishes are already coming out with toxin-free brands. A survey by the National Healthy Nail Salon Alliance confirms that manufacturers have now been pushing for organically made nail polishes, but it could be hard to tell the difference. These organic polishes still smell the same, minus the harmful toxic trio.
Here are just some of them —
Nicole by OPI – OPI is actually my favorite and it’s a leading nail polish brand. This brand is guaranteed free of DBP, Formaldehyde and Toluene and the glass polish container is recyclable. They also have pen applicators which can be had for only $7.
Priti – This brand offers a completely non-toxic line, it’s so safe even for young girls who would like to experiment with colors early. They also have a selection of soy-based nail polish removers.
Zoya – Not only are they organically made, Zoya has the best selection of wild, vibrant and very funky colors.
Rescue Beauty Lounge – Their selections are very glamourous. The polishes are a bit pricier at $18 a bottle.
