Have Fun With Nail Polish!
By Wendy
With all the flip flop wearing we do during the summer, we have to make sure our toes are in tip top shape and sandal ready. But with all the different toxic chemical ingredients that are in nail polish, like Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP (dibutyl phthalate), Formaldehyde Resin, and Camphor, it makes you think twice about painting that nail polish you recently purchased on your porous nails.
A number of companies are now offering eco-friendly nail polish options that contain none of those toxic ingredients. These nail polishes come in many environmentally friendly shades to choose from minus all those chemicals so you can use it and share it with your best girlfriend. Have pretty nails and help make this planet a more beautiful place.
Here are some great environmentally friendly nail polishes you can try:
Peacekeeper Nail Polish in Paint Me Va Voom- infused with argan oil, a great source of vitamin E, Peacekeeper Nail Polish will help keep your nails beautiful and strong. It’s also vegan!
Piggy Paint Nail Polish in How Merlot Can You Go- the color name itself makes me want to purchase this! Piggy Paint Nail Polish has less of those harsh chemicals you usually find in nail polishes. It’s also low in order, kid friendly and comes lots of in fun vibrant colors.
Toe Shades Nail Polish in Havana Red Cream- Nail polish that’s peelable and can last up to 21 days, Toe Shades is a great option for those who hate removing nail polish with acetone.
Scotch Naturals WaterColors Canal Street Daisy- an eco-friendly alternative to conventional solvent-based nail polishes. Scotch Naturals doesn’t contain any toluene, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde, acetone, or heavy metals. And they have a line for women and kids!
If you’re done painting you nails with your new environmentally-friendly nail polish shade, but still could use a bit more pampering, try this DIY hair mask for shinier and healthier hair, or these homemade face masks to really treat your skin.
Who knew being eco-friendly could be so beautiful!
