11 Vegan, Non-Toxic Nail Polishes for the Perfect Home Mani

Share

Self-care can mean all kinds of things; it can mean reading a good book, running a bath, making a list, doing a face mask, or for some, it’s doing your nails. Doing your own nails is not only super satisfying, but it’s quicker than going to the parlor and quite often it’s cheaper, too.

Some nail polishes include toxic chemicals so it’s important to look out for these. If a nail polish says it’s “5-free or 7-free,” it means it’s free of that number of harmful chemicals. According to 7-free nail polish brand Ella + Mila, polishes with toxic chemicals are particularly harmful to nursing or pregnant women and children.

Here are 11 non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free nail polish brands so that you can give yourself an immaculate, affordable, guilt-free manicure in preparation for any occasion.
