You don't have to wear green to be green

Today I got a manicure (which is the inspiration behind this posting). I've always hated the toxic smell, and it made me think, "There must be newer, more eco-friendly nailpolishes in existance." So, I checked it out, and it just so happens that there are. The top-rated eco-friendly nail polishes are:
1. OPI (which has, just recently, removed all toxic and harmful chemicals from its polish)
2. Suncoat
3. Acquarella
4. Honeybee Garden
5. Piggy Paint
Furthermore, all these polishes are, at least, partially water-based.

Moreover, it turns out that nail polish is actually the most toxic cosmetic. So, switching to one of these brands would really be beneficial--especially because these brands don't contain dibutyl phthalates (DBP), formaldehyde, and toulene.

• DBP: This is what gives polish its sheen; however, it also causes adverse reproductive and developmental progress. (Basically, you shouldn't wear nail polish when you're pregnant.)
• Formaldehyde: This is what cause polish to harden; however, it is known to be a human carcinogen, and can also cause: eye/nose/throat/skin irritation.
• Toulene: This is what gives polish its smooth look; however, it negatively affects the nervous system, causing headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.
