While painted nails look pretty, most regular nail polish contains harmful chemicals such as toluene,
xylene, and formaldehyde (carcinogens), as well as dibutyl-phthalate which is a hormone disruptor. This is especially of concern for nail salon workers who are exposed to it daily. Care should be taken
to avoid inhaling polish fumes and from putting painted nails in the mouth. There are however, several companies who have made the effort to remove these chemicals from their products. While these polishes still contain chemicals and it is advisable to take common sense caution, they are at least free of most of the above toxins:

• OPI

• No Miss

• Chrome Girl

• Suncoat

• Zoya
