Guest Beauty Blogger Wednesdays - All Lacquered Up on Healthy Nail Polish
In our humble opinion, there's no better way to get over The Hump (that would be you, dear Wednesday) than by talking incessantly about beauty. So, from now until forever, we're hereby declaring Guest Beauty Blogger Wednesdays. Each hump day, we'll be tapping a different Total Beauty blogger to sound-off on StyleList. Today, we're be talking about nail polish tips and trneds with Michelle from All Lacquered Up, one of our favorite nail polish blogs. 
Go Green With Healthier Nail Polish
Big 3 Free. Non-toxic. Chemical-free. Water-based. Pregnancy Safe. Healthy. Eco-conscious.
These are all buzz words that the polish industry throws at us to make their product look healthier, more eco-friendly, safer, etc. but, what does it all mean and who makes what?
If you haven't read my article about Big 3 Free nail polish, I suggest you start there to familiarize yourself with the ingredients the term refers to. I use "healthier" in quotes to describe these lacquers since the jury is still out as to whether traditional formulas are really a health risk.
OK so you want a polish with less chemicals for health or environmental reasons. Which one is right for you? It all depends on the ingredients you want to avoid. Here I've broken down the brands according to which ingredients are excluded. My list includes the majority of the big and cult brands on the market.
Of course, if you have allergies I suggest you read labels before buying because even though a lot of brands have made the Big 3 Free switch, older formulas are still on shelves .
Now that you've learned which nail polish brands will help "green" up your beauty routine, head on over to TotalBeauty.com to see which brands they deem tops in Toxin-Free Beauty.
