Looking for completely non-toxic, all natural nail polish..... I got news for ya; it isn't going to happen, but, you can find some that doesn't contain a toxic, cancerous cocktail with preservatives for dead bodies (formaldehyde). The ever toxic, carcinogenic, organ destroying, Toluene is better known for it's reproductive harm it causes and is a class 3 hazard rating, while it's counterpart formaldehyde has a number 4 hazard rating. Dibutyl-Pthalate is a class 9, yes class 9 hazard rating. With all that crud being in nail polish it's no wonder cancer numbers have sky rocketed. Does anybody even read labels or ingredients anymore? I paid $6 bucks for one bottle but it's just as good as OPI which is right around $9.
Here are the results for No Miss nail polish:
- No Toluene
- No Dibutyl-Pthalate
- Formaldehyde
- Colors free of D&C dyes
- Chip resistant
- Dries quickly
- Durable

I didn't even think about what was in my polish!! I have a ton of it i have to look through now. but good to know!
Yeah I never wore nail polish for a long time till I seen that brand at our health food store. Then I did some research as to what was in it versus the regular polish. I will cover one on hair dye too ;). That will truly open your eyes. There are few brands that are veggie dyes or henna dyes, but you have to be careful with those too.
