Olympic 5 Free

In order to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic Games I have put together my top five of 5-free and cruelty-free nail polishes.

Nail polish as we know is unable to be organic by its very nature, however the most natural of (non-water based) polishes are not only free from the big 3 carcinogenic chemicals Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) and Toluene, but they are also free from Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor.

 Catrice – It’s All I Can Blue


This is a lovely bright powder blue polish – a perfect colour match for the blue Olympic ring! 

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics – Traffic


A long lasting and highly pigmented brilliant yellow – and it’s vegan friendly!

Essence – Black Is Back


A cruelty-free, easy to apply, quick-dry polish with intense colour payoff.
