I love having my nails done. If you know me then you know that’s NO secret at all. Through my nontoxic journey and learning about the things we use in our lives that can have negative effects on our health, I’ve learned about what’s the big deal about nail polishes and I am excited to share it and offer a solution to you wanting pops of color (or neutral) on your nails. “People get really upset about phthalates in plastics, but they don’t think about what’s in the cosmetics they’re applying directly to their skin,” study co-author Kate Hoffman, a researcher at Duke University, told Yahoo News . “The skin is an…
