The stench from the toxic chemicals in the polish and remover was horrendous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breathing those fumes in is definitely not good for you. And for a long time I also didn\u2019t realize that nails are permeable, so I was absorbing even more toxicants directly through my nails and the skin around them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for a \ud83d\udcaf non-toxic nail polish, unfortunately that doesn\u2019t exist. Even the least toxic options still contain concerning ingredients. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/beauty-skin-care\/non-toxic-nail-polish#takeaway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article explains it well<\/a>, but note that it gives some example brands that I don\u2019t necessarily recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This post is NOT sponsored in any way, and I don\u2019t sell any products such as MLM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Required statement: This post may contain Amazon Associates affiliate links, that I may earn small amounts from if you click them.

The posts will have both videos and additional written material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video for Part 6:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Video is available on YouTube, embedded below. A shorter version is also available on <a href=\"https:\/\/fb.watch\/qe3-3k1hBu\/?mibextid=cr9u03\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and other social media. YouTube can be convenient because because with the YouTube app you can listen\/ watch it while you do other things on your phone.

The longer your nails are, the more bacteria and parasite eggs they can harbor. These are innovative nail clippers that catch the clippings so they don\u2019t go flying and spread germs everywhere: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3wixTVC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3wixTVC<\/a> (all links are Amazon associates links).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mentioned Poofy Organics nail polish as the least toxic option, but it isn\u2019t available on Amazon. Piggy Paint is another one of the least toxic brands: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3I1sYLq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3I1sYLq<\/a>. I haven\u2019t tried either one because I never wear nail polish anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of the above listed brands make nail polish removers that are less toxic, and I haven\u2019t tried these either: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3I2vRf4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3I2vRf4<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For very special occasions, I use press on nails. I recommend only purchasing reputable brands, and ones that use adhesive stickers rather than liquid glue. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uFYgEo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uFYgEo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Tips Not in the Video:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another type of alternative to liquid nail polishes are \u201cnail wraps\u201d which are basically like nail polish applied like a thin adhesive sticker. But be aware that although many of them label themselves as \u201cnon-toxic,\u201d that term doesn\u2019t mean much. One brand that sounds like it at least avoids many of the hazardous ingredients is Polish Pops. I haven\u2019t tried it and it isn\u2019t available on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a new product I tried. I can\u2019t say they are super comfortable, but if you want to slip them on for a quick photo, they would work well with press on nails, making them reusable: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4c0dzcm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/4c0dzcm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PLEASE FOLLOW my <a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/CleanGreenToxicantFree\/\">Facebook page<\/a><\/strong> <strong>for new posts and updates<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/CleanGreenToxicantFree\/\">https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/CleanGreenToxicantFree\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>***Thank you for visiting Clean Green Toxicant Free!
