Non-Toxic Nail Polish Please


I only paint my nails a few times a year, maybe that’s why it hasn’t been my highest priority to find a “clean” replacement for the toxic bottles I have at home.  Then I read an article in my Whole Living magazine about a lady in New York who started her own non-toxic line of nail polish "Priti NYC" and it got me thinking about it.

Why bother with non-toxic nail polish? 
3 of the ugly ingredients in regular nail polish 
(ALL of these are rated a 10 on the 0-10 hazard scale on the 
EWG Website):

1.) Formaldehyde- AKA: FORMALIN; FORMIC ALDEHYDE; MERTHALDEHYDE; METHANAL; METHYL ALDEHYDE; OXOMETHANE; OXYMETHYLENE.
Effects: Known human carcinogen, Known human immune system toxicant, Known human respiratory toxicant
