Question from Heather Chandler
This is a super hard, long-lasting polish that needs strong remover to get off. My gut tells me it’s not good, though I’ve seen it marketed as a greener alternative since it lasts so long. What do you know of it’s toxicity? Many thanks for your help!
Debra’s Answer
Your gut is correct. Here’s an article from the New York Times about Shellac nail polish. It is applied in a salon, baked on with a heat lamp and requires soaking your nails with pads containing toxic acetone to remove it. How this is green, I don’t know.
