Hi family room


Does anyone know where I can get some non-toxic nail polish? Preferably one with no or little smell to it.


I don't do my nails that often but when I do, my OH can't cope with the smell. It really makes him cough and wheeze no matter where I go in the house.


Thanks

You have my sympathies. I find painting my nails a very relaxing thing to do but my husband hates the fumes.


I tried a brand called Butter London which is meant to have less nasties in it and smell less bad.


http://www.butterlondon.com/


I prefer the quality of the "toxic" ones though, so I just do my nails when my other half is away. OK who am I kidding, I have two small children and a full time job, so I never have time to do my nails = problem solved :-(

Hmmm, I used to buy it from Cowshed (http://www.cowshedonline.com/) but that was a while ago. A quick online search tells me that Boots sell some http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Brands-A-to-Z/Butter-London/ otherwise there are a bunch of online shops that sell it. Sorry not to be more help on the current stockists front!

From the Ingredients details on the Boots website pages for these two products:


Butter London Nail Laquer. 3f nail lacquertea queen


Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Acetate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Nitrocellulose, Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol/Trimellitic Anhydride Copolymer, Trimethly Pentanyl Diisobutyrate, Triphenyl Phosphate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Diacetone Alcohol, Citric Acid, Dimethicone, Benzophenone-1. May contain: C1 77000, CI 77163, CI 77499, CI 73360, CI 17200, CI 15880, CI 15850, CI 47000, CI 47005, CI 19140, CI 77520, CI 77019, CI 77491, CI 77891, CI 26100, CI 14700


Max Factor Glossfinity Nail Polish


Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose, Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol/Trimellitic Anyhydride Copolymer, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Stearalkonium Bentonite, Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate, Acrylates Copolymer, Mica, N-Butyl Alcohol, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Benzophenone-1, Silica, Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Trimethylpentanediyl Dibenzoate, Alcohol Denat, Polyvinyl Butyral, Alumina, Tin oxide, [+/-CI77891, CI77000, CI77491, CI77266, CI19140]


I'm wondering what the perceived difference between the two is. Is it the n-butyl alcohol that's the main culprit? Most of the other ingredients they seem to have in common.

Thanks everyone forward all of the suggestions


Ianr - you are right, there doesn't seem to be a difference between the two.


I am taking a look at Suncoat which has far fewer ingredients:


Aqua (water), polyurethane, acrylate, copolymer. May contain mica (CI77019), iron oxides (CI77491, CI77492, CI77499), titanium dioxide (CI77891), ferric ferrocyanide (CI77510), chromium oxide (CI77288), carmine (CI75470).


Will have a look at Only fingers and toes right now over a cup of tea :)

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
