It’s safe to assume that the nasty chemical scent you inhale when you smell nail polish is bad news for the environment. Same thing goes for nail polish remover. This is all because of the – gasp! – chemicals used to make the polishes that allow you to adorn your fingertips with every color imaginable, primarily dibutyl phthalate (a commonly used plasticizer and suspected endocrine disruptor), toluene (a nausea-inducing and soil-contaminating solvent used in paints), formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin (a volatile and carcinogenic organic compound). ORLY Nail Polish claims to contain none of these things.

Plus they come in an incredible number of funky colors like these:

And as an added bonus, why not try the ORLY Sunscreen For Nails clear treatment.
