I have a confession to make: MY NAILS LOOK LIKE SHIT, all the time. I know, I know—I’m a fraud. Here I am writing reviews and giving my opinions on all the latest and greatest vegan beauty products, yet I’m typing with fingers that are homes to the most atrocious looking nails you’ve ever seen!
Okay, [...]
I’ve been obsessed with vegan, cruelty-free and non-toxic nail polish pretty much since I was in utero. Ha, okay, maybe not that far back, but sers, I love me some bright, pretty nails sans all the nasty, if you know what I’m sayin’.
Piggy Paint is a non-toxic, low odor, water-based, cruelty-free and vegan kid-friendly [...]
Soulstice Spa, a vegan and cruelty-free company, has an exquisite line of natural body products and non-toxic nail polishes (i.e. free of toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate) that you’re gonna wanna get your hands on!
I’d like to quickly say that I’ve been rockin’ their concrete grey-blue Manchester shade (btw, I ♥ how all of the colors are city-inspired), and [...]
I’ve been painting my nails since I was teensy weensy—I mos def rocked peel-off Tinkerbell nail polish back back back in the day and LOVED it! Nostalgia!
Now that I’m all growned up and shit, my tastes have changed but I remain a die-hard fan of pretty nail colors. I could be lookin’ all [...]
Painting my nails (fingers and toes) is one of my all-time favorite pastimes. It’s very rare that you’ll ever see me out and about not wearing some neon or glitterful, vibrant shade of nail polish. Luckily, for we compassionate nail artists, we have a slew of cruelty-free brands to choose from. There are so many out there [...]
Jo Jo Jo! It’s time to talk about one of my favorite versatile beauty oils of all time—jojoba oil!
Jojoba oil is the answer to all of your beauty prayers—trust me! It’s cheap, it’s easy to use, it readily available (I like to buy mine at Trader Joe’s), and it will transform your skin, hair and [...]
First of all, this (first pic below) is what inspired me to write this blog post:
I am so beyond smitten with the shade “Beetle” by Hard Candy (available at Walmart for $5). This multi-dimensional purpley-green sprakle fest needs to be seen in person to be truly appreciated. I’m totally rockin’ the beetle fingers look, [...]
So, I wanted to tell you guys about Dazzle Dry’s 2010 Spring Collection which includes glittery Jewel Effects nail polish. If you’re into sparkly nails, you’re going to go nuts for these lacquers like I did.
Dazzle Dry is vegan, cruelty-free and non-toxic (nitrocellulose-free, toluene-free, formaldehyde-free and phthalate-free)… unfortunately, most conventional nail polishes are chemical-laden and [...]
Being a girlie girl, I love my nail polish and it’s pretty rare that I’m not sporting colored nails. It has been difficult to find nail polishes that are vegan and non-toxic. Believe it or not, all conventional nail polishes contain Nitrocellulose (which causes yellowing), Camphor, Formaldehyde, Toluene and Phthalate. These nasty chemicals are super [...]
