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 :)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
