After kicking my nail biting habit<\/a> almost two months ago, I have been searching for that holy grail of polish.\u00a0 At this point I\u2019m basically the Indiana Jones of the polish world.\u00a0 Since I spent so many years without any chemical smell on my fingertips, it\u2019s something I notice right away \u2013 either in application, while wearing, and especially when I raise a fingertip to my lips when licking off a bit of peanut butter or melted chocolate.\u00a0 (Wipe off the chocolate instead? Sacrilege!)<\/p>\n One brand that has impressed me with its minimum of scent during application and no scent\/taste post-application is LVX<\/a> (pronounced Lux).\u00a0 LVX is a socially responsible luxury vegan nail polish brand.\u00a0 All of their products are cruelty free and produced in the United States.<\/p>\n LVX builds their collection each season around emerging color trends on the fashion runways.\u00a0 Their polishes are 5-free, meaning they don\u2019t contain formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, DBP, Toluene, or camphor.<\/p>\n I was able to try two products from LVX.\u00a0 The first was their 3 in 1 Treatment<\/strong>.\u00a0 As the name suggests, this product can be used three different ways \u2013 either as a strengthener, base coat, and\/or top coat.\u00a0 It contains horsetail (an herb) and silica, which are touted for helping nails grow stronger and faster.<\/p>\n In addition to using the 3 in 1 Treatment for these purposes, I enjoyed wearing it on its own for its high shine appearance on bare nails.\u00a0 It gave a bit of glean to naked nails and didn\u2019t require any touch-ups for several days, even when I was doing a lot of taxing hands-on work.<\/p>\n In the polish arena, I tried Truffle<\/strong>, a polish from LVX\u2019s spring collection.\u00a0 This brown\/gray shade is their take on taupe.\u00a0 It\u2019s a neutral color that would be good for the office, business settings, or anywhere you don\u2019t want your nails to be the first thing that people notice.<\/p>\n The polish went on smoothly and evenly, requiring only two coats to reach the same shade as on the bottle.\u00a0 I used it along with the 3 in 1 Treatment, and the color stayed chip-free and glossy for days until I was ready to switch it out for something different.\u00a0 Even though LVX isn\u2019t a gel product, the glossy and smooth appearance has a similar quality.<\/p>\n At $18 for the 3 in 1 Treatment and $16 for Truffle, it\u2019s certainly on the higher side for nail polishes.\u00a0 However, the long-lasting quality and minimum of chemical scent make it stand out.<\/p>\n Disclaimer:\u00a0 I received these two products complimentary for review from LVX.\u00a0 The thoughts and opinions are totally my own.<\/em><\/p>\n Image Credit: Photos by Cadry Nelson & David Busch<\/em><\/p>\n Interested in more nail polish brands that don’t test on animals?
