It's no secret that traditional nail polish harbours some unsavoury chemicals”one whiff of an open bottle will tell you that much. At first thought, eco-friendly nail polishes sound like watery disasters, which is exactly what I thought before I tried them for myself. Give these brands a try next time your #maniMonday rolls around.
Bio Seaweed Gel
If you’re more into longer lasting gel nails, give Bio Seaweed Gel (BSG) a go”it’s known as the healthier gel polish since it’s free of toluene, formaldehyde and BHA. Another big bonus? When soaked off properly (like, going to the salon and getting a professional to do it), BSG comes off easily in five minutes: this means no harsh scraping on your nail bed which can cause major damage.
