There is no absolutely natural nail polish; they all contain chemicals. But you can definitely green your manicure by using nail polish that is free of VOC’s and the most harmful chemicals. I’ve never been much for nail polish myself because of its toxicity and smell (I hear some people like it!), but I’ve been getting the glamor bug lately and wanted to find shimmering solutions without the toluene and formaldehyde.
Recently Kim posted about Acquarella’s Water Colors, and I’m glad to see the niche for non-toxic is growing. Check out these other safe nail color options.
Honey Bee Gardens $6.75
Peacekeeper Cause-Metics (I love that name!) $10.20
Sante Cosmetics $9.99
Nubar $6.99
The aptly-named Safe Nail Polish $12.95
Spa Ritual $10.00
Any other favorites you use? I’m always glad to see the greener sector growing in any industry.
