Welcome everyone! It's easy to find nail polishes you can feel good about using. You just need to know what to look for and below are brands who offer vegan nail polishes. A nail polish that's labeled "vegan" means there are no animal products in the polish itself. That means no beeswax, no fish scales, no insect shells, etc. However, a vegan-only nail polish may not contain animal products, but it may have been tested on animals. Animal testing is a miserable and sometimes fatal process for the animal subjects. During testing, cosmetic companies may rub cosmetics into animals' eyes and skin. Others may be forced to consume the product to determine toxicity. Regardless of the method, animal testing is cruel and unnecessary. To be sure that no animals were harmed, make sure your nail polishes are both vegan and cruelty-free. Many nail polishes now carry a 3-, 5-, or 7- free, which denotes how many toxins have been removed from the polish.
