Q. I've decided to paint my nails tomorrow before school because I'll be wearing flip flops. How long will it take one coat of light pink ULTA nail polish to dry?


Answer
It will take about 5 to 10 minutes to dry trust me. I have to paint my nails sometimes right before I go on stage and they dry in 5 to 10 minutes. This is the real Miley Cyrus, and I know people say this all the time but this time it really is.

What are the harmful chemicals in some nail polishes (such as Essie) that can cause cancer and birth defects?

I really like the nail polish brand called Essie, but when I went to get some at Ulta, it had a sign that said it contained a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects. I was wondering what those chemical/s are and if they still exist in Essie nail polishes. Thank you!


Answer
hi
the major 2 toxic chemicals in nail polish are Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) and Toluene.
Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) is a plasticiser to prevent chips and cracks. DBP is an oily liquid that is soluble in fat and slightly soluble in water. It is not very volatile so it does not evaporate readily into the atmosphere.
Over 75% of DBP is used as a plasticiser in polymers such as PVC, 14% is used in adhesives, 7% in printing inks and 3% in other miscellaneous uses, including sealants and grouting agents used in construction as well as consumer products such as cosmetics.

Toluene is a solvent that makes the polish easy to apply. It is aromatic and commonly used as an industrial solvent for the manufacturing of paints, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and rubber.
Toluene is found in gasoline, acrylic paints, varnishes, lacquers, paint thinners, adhesives, glues, rubber cement, airplane glue, and shoe polish.

Essie i believe still does use those chemicals you might want to try these

Avon, Butter London, Dashing Diva âExtra Virginâ, HoneyBee Gardens, Lippmann Collection (newer collections), NailTini, NARS (new formula), Nocti, Nubar, OPI (Australia collection & newer), Revlon, Sally Hansen, Vinyl Deborah Lippmann, Zoya
