Recently when just aimlessly
surfing about I came across this brand of nail polish that is safe for use
during pregnancy. I was quite intrigued since I had refrained from using polish
during pregnancy. So I wrote to them and they sent me a bunch for review.
Knocked Up Nails (link)
is 5-free maternity safe nail polish formula
does not contain toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate
(dbp) or camphor. It also does not contain triphenyl phosphate (tphp). They are
long-lasting and chip resistant.
There are really
very few brands in the market that are 5 free and cater to people who are
chemically averse. People using cosmetics and polishes need to know in order to
a choice suitable to them.
This issue tends to
get importance when the risk is unknown for example: how much does it effect an
unborn child when the mother uses these chemicals? how much is safe?
These are some of
the few questions that plagued me when I was pregnant. I would have felt much
at ease using nail polish during those nine months had I known about these 5
free options and got easy access to them.
In India there is virtually no awareness of this concept
unless one is a nail geek and reads up a lot of nail and beauty blogs. None of
the commercial brands here give the option of using a safer alternative to
chemical laden polishes and cosmetics.
Base: Knocked up nails Coral Cutie
This shade is called Coral Cutie, it's a very bright pink-coral shade in glossy creme finish. I am pleasantly surprised to say that it lasted on my nails almost 6-7 days without chipping.
It doesnt have a strong smell either. Most polish tends to chip on me after 3 days of wear.
Quite impressive.
Each polish is 15 ml/0.5oz and retails for $10.
Knocked up nails (link) is not only safe for pregnant women but also safe for allergy sufferers, cancer patients and children.
*polish sent for an honest review
