Detox Me Tuesday Approved Nail Polish

Why safer nail polish? Our nails are porous and actually absorb ingredients on them, especially since many of these ingredients are intense. Many of the nasties in common formulas include formaldehyde, parabens, phthalates and more! Check out the lists below. My personal faves are Zoya, Ella+Mila and Basecoat.
