I love a good, fresh manicure as much as the next girl, but you should know that regular nail polishes contain a hefty amount of toxins that can stay in your system. The CDC found that every person they tested during a recent study had some level of these toxins in their systems – and women of childbearing age had the highest levels of all: due in particular to nail polish use.
While there is no nail polish that is completely natural, there are fortunately several brands out there that do not contain these horrible chemicals. Here are a few alternatives for you to check out so you can be safe without giving up gorgeous nails!
