    10 FREE NAIL POLISHES ARE HERE!!!!!

    What is a "10 Free Nail Polish"?

    10 Free Nail Polishes are "FREE" of 10 toxic and harmful ingredients used in regular retail nail polish formulas. My polishes DO NOT contain the following...

    1.) Toluene- A liquid that is used as a solvent and has the familiar smell of paint thinner. You can be exposed to toluene by breathing it in or getting it on your skin, causing skin irritation. Unfortunately, inhaling high levels of toluene is said to be harmful to your nervous system and can cause light-headedness and nausea. Toluene is a toxin that may also cause birth defects and developmental problems in children of pregnant women who have had extended exposure.

    2.) Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)- A commonly used plasticizer and has been linked to cancer. DBP has also been connected to birth defects in studies involving lab animals. In fact, this toxin was added to the California Proposition 65 list of suspected teratogens, which are agents that cause malformations of an embryo.

    3.) Formaldehyde- Acommonly used chemical to preserve and embalm dead animals (and humans). Its vapors are also irritating and can trigger asthma. Formaldehyde is also a known human carcinogen, a factor directly involved in causing cancer.

    4.) Formaldehyde Resin-A derivative of Formaldehyde, mainly used in the production of coatings and adhesives. It is not as toxic as Formaldehyde but can be an allergen.

    5.) Camphor-A poison that can cause seizures and disorientation if used in large doses. This chemical acts as a cover on your nails, depriving them of nutrients and causing yellow staining on your nails.

    6.) Xylene- The main effect of inhaling xylene vapor is depression of the central nervous system, with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

    7.) Ethyl Tosylamide- This chemical has already been barred from personal care products in Europe.

    8.) Phthalates- Can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive system.

    9.) Parabens- A more common “no-no” in the beauty industry these days. These estrogen-mimicking preservatives may trigger major health concerns like hormonal problems.

    10.) Fragrances- Can be highly toxic; studies have shown that exposure can cause neurological damage, decreased brain function, impaired breathing, hearing loss, and nausea

    My thoughts...Isn't it crazy that these ingredients are allowed to be used in our beauty products!? It's sick! If we don't have enough to worry about these poisons are allowed to be put in commonly used products you buy over the counter. Not even thinking the they could be slowly poisoning us!
