Nail It!

As a new Mrs., your hands will get a lot of attention on your wedding day. So of course your nails will be well polished! The great news is that you can nail it Eco-Beautifully with one of these toxic-free polishes:

Zoya

Zoya’s nail polishes are free of harsh chemicals such as formaldehyde and they’re vegan too. For the second year in a row, their colors were all over New York Fashion Week. Zoya even created a collection of signature colors for eco designer Rafael Cennamo (June is gorg!) They also offer toxin-free base, top coats and polish removers to keep your nails lovely for the wedding and honeymoon too.

butter

Known for an array of high fashion nail colors, butter London manages to keep it toxic-free and rocker chic for brides. Their nail lacquers and polishes will really glam up your aisle style! Try out Fiver, an opaque mint color that’s trendy and perfect for a spring or summer wedding. If a colored manicure is too bold, consider a bright color by butter for your toes!

Sparitual

Sparitual uses natural pigments and ingredients from all over the world to create color-rich polishes in a variety of shades. We love that they use organic bamboo as a nail strengthener too. Add some Zen to your wedding day nails with Calm and Clear from the Meditate collection, or maybe go pink and Strike a Pose!
