Let's Talk About Ethical Nail Polish
Let’s talk ethical nail polish. It can sometimes take awhile to find a color that speaks to your mood of the moment. Discovering the perfect shade that is also in line with your ethics can be a challenge. The good news is that there are now many brands that are vegan, chemical free, low odor, and cruelty free. Here are 12 brands that we recommend checking out.
Each brand is slightly different, and the polish wears differently as well. These companies offer varying shades of your favorite pastel hues. Some nail-polish brands are made in the USA. Many don’t break the bank.
