Pamper Your Pinkies

Most nail polish contains chemicals, including phthalates (dibutyl phthalate or DBP) used to help reduce brittleness and cracking.

DBP, however, has been linked to birth defects in rodents.

Although we don't yet know much DBP it takes to harm humans, experts recommend avoiding it, especially if you are pregnant.

If you are looking for a chemical-free manicure, check your natural health store for water-based nail polish in a wide variety of shades.

You do not need a chemical remover, either. When it's time to change your colour, simply peel off and reapply.

Pretty cool, eh?!
