If you're looking to make a lifestyle change to cleaner products, take a look at your nail polishes – the traditional brands are full of chemicals that can be super harmful in the long run, but are still allowed to be present in our products! There actually are brands that offer water-based polishes where the chemical solvents (toluene & acetates) are replaced by water. Something as simple as this can help strengthen your nails beds by keeping the keratin healthy. It's also one less outlet for your body to absorb toxins, considering our environment is full of them.
Here are some non-toxic polishes for you to look into:
1. Zoya Nail Lacquer
400+ Ulta reviewers rated this product 4 stars or above.
3. Orly Breathable Treatment + Color
no top coat or base coast required + infused with argan oil & vitamins
Some things to remember about your manicure:
* may chip easily compared to regular or gel polishes, but hey…you give some you take some right!
* may need a few extra coats
* color turnout may differ from photos & in bottle
But hey...you give some you take some right! Let's work one step at a time towards living toxin-free.
