Orly & butter London are also 3 free. Interestingly when I researched OPI’s website for this same information about 6-9 months ago they didn’t explicitly say they were 3 free and so I assumed it wasn’t. Glad they clarified it now on their website that they’ve done so since 2006!
This is great! I was only aware of the NoMiss and Paint and Peel brands.
Interesting about OPI…when I looked at the OPI display about 3 months ago, there was a notice saying that the polish contained chemicals known to the state of CA to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. I didn’t even read the ingredients after seeing that! Guess I should have.
china glaze is big 3 free too! for audrey is my favorite shade and I’m very happy that I don’t have to look for a dupe.
Sparitual rocks! Vegan nail polish in good colors. I buy mine at Pharmaca.
Aquarella and Scotch are definitely my choices for very clean product. True they don’t have the staying power of OPI, nor the color selection of Zoya, but they are virtually odorless and really improve the health of your nail.
Sinful Colors also is formaldehyde free. Being that I’m severely allergic to formaldehyde, it’s the only one I use. Plus it’s under $2 a bottle and has roughly over 250 different colors from neutrals to glitters to brights as well as top and base coats. Wonderful product. Dries quickly, 1-2 mins. I can always find it at the local Walgreens.
