Hard Candy Just Nails Nail Polish With Ring 10.3ml-046 Rumor Mill

Product Information

Butter London is a popular polish brand available at Ulta and Nordstrom. They offer a fairly extensive shade selection and their formula is "8-Free", meaning it does not contain Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, DBP, Toluene, Camphor, Ethyl Tosylamide, Xylene, or TPHP. The formula is not vegan as it contains hydrolyzed silk. 3. Ciaté London Prestige Cosmetics is an Italian-founded beauty brand. Their Wonder Gloss Nail Lacquer is vitamin-enriched and, well, glossy. Their products are available at drugstores and online. 16. Seche Vite Make sure to keep all lids closed tightly and products stored away in a cool dry place when not in use. Gels should be stored away from sunlight if possible, because any light that seeps in will begin to harden the gel.

Sugarloom Cosmetics is a cruelty-free nail polish brand that takes its inspiration from nature. Their modern collections have an array of vibrant thematic colors. In addition, their polishes are "5-Free" and vegan. 29. Sugarpill Hard Candy is a super cool cult favorite with fun colors, and they've been around since the 90's. Some of their nail polish bottles still come with awesome collectible rings! Their products are currently available at Walmart and online. 7. Jordana Mineral Fusion is a health-focused brand whose mission is to incorporate minerals and botanicals into the beauty routine. Their nail polish line is "5-Free" and vegan. 13. NCLARMS Beauty's nail polish line is inspired by their famous Living Luminizer (a facial care product), adding a healthy sheen to the nails. Their polishes are "6-Free" and vegan! 25. SOPHi Gabriel Cosmetics is a natural luxury cosmetics brand available in stores like Whole Foods as well as online. Their core collection includes a whopping 50 shades, and they're not all grey! The polishes are actually "10-Free", and all of Gabriel's products are 100% vegan! 7. Habit Those of us who had zero skills when it came to mixing and applying Kool-Aid to our hair to radically change its color relied on Manic Panic, which sold every beautiful and vibrant shade of the rainbow. OK, I’m not going to lie: It also helped to scrunch your hair with half a bottle of Dep gel before leaving the house.

Gel Polish is no magical formula. It's certainly an upgrade from nail polish due to its durability and ability to remain super shiny and chip free for weeks. There are of course some products that are of a higher quality than others however every gel polish has the ability to peel and that comes down to one thing and that is APPLICATION. Colourpop just launched their new nail polish line, and they are SO pretty! They're the perfect addition to their amazing aesthetic. In addition, their polishes are "7-Free" and vegan. 5. Deco Miami We have a colour library of over 5,000 gel colours and 720 nail polishes with 700+ gel shades online. What sort of colours do you have? Piggy Paint is an adorable vegan nail polish made for kids. Its water-based ingredients are odorless, biodegradable and vegan. As they are meant for children of all ages, they claim to be not only "10-Free", but "Everything-Free"! 20. Play Love Laugh (Hugo Naturals)

2. Cruelty-Free Nail Brands

NCLA is a super popular option not only for polish but also for awesome nail wraps. All of their nail polishes are made in California, "7-Free" and 100% vegan! 14. No Miss LVX's nail lacquers are inspired by runway looks from top fashion designers. They even collaborate with designers for Fashion Week runway presentations. Their gel-like formula is really good for longer wear, and they're also "7-Free" and 100% vegan. 11. Manic Panic Available at Ulta, drugstores and online, Seche Vite is the best cruelty-free top coat on the market! It is super glossy and definitely prolongs the wear of a manicure. It is quite smelly though, so I recommend using it in a well ventilated area. 17. Sonia Kashuk Milani Cosmetics makes a chic but affordable Color Statement Nail Lacquer, which is available at drugstores and online. Their shades do contain guanine, which can be an animal-derived ingredient. 12. Orly Would highly recommend Orly to anyone looking for a mid-level-price polish. Their nail treatment stuff is particularly impressive, and I threw in the towel on Essie after ending up with too many shades that were a gloppy mess, but Orly polishes have been consistently well-formulated. If you’re in Canada, don’t overlook the “Quo by Orly” line…

Many of the cruelty-free nail polish brands mentioned below are not only free of these three ingredients, but free of other harmful ingredients as well. Brands can also be considered "5-Free", "7-Free", and so on. "5-Free" polishes contain no Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor, in addition to the original three, and "7-Free" polishes also eschew Ethyl Tosylamide and Andxylene.

What advice would you tell your college-aged self, sitting and concocting nail polish in your dorm room? Available at Ulta, drugstores and in most nail salons, China Glaze is a good cruelty-free staple when the only other options are Essie and OPI (both of which are NOT cruelty-free). They offer tons of fun colors and the formula is durable. 3. e.l.f. Sonia Kashuk is a cruelty-free brand owned by Target available through their stores or online. Their high-shine and chip-resistant polishes are very affordable and come in many fun colors, and they often come out with limited edition collections. 18. theBalm When I was told I had the opportunity to interview Dineh Mohajer, my 90s obsessed glittery heart skipped a major beat. I don’t know about you but, as a teenager, CLUELESS was one of my favorite movies (and totally still is!) and huge inspiration for me style-wise (even if my teenage self couldn’t actually pull off a yellow plaid blazer with matching mini skirt at the time…WHATEVER). However, what I could confidently pull off was the baby blue nail polish that adorned Alicia Silverstone’s nails throughout the mid-90s , created by a very forward-thinking nail polish company called HARD CANDY, run by a college student named Dineh Mohajer. In the ’90s, we were all pretty much robots directed into Bath and Body Works by some supernatural force that pushed out the constant message that we had to smell like some combination of vanilla, gingerbread and brown sugar at all times.
