Non Toxic Nail Polishes: Acquarella and Scotch Naturals

Looking for a non toxic nail polish that is not just for kids? It is scary to think of all the harmful chemicals present in traditional nail polish. A safe option is getting a long-lasting water based nail polish.

If you are ready to try water based nail polish but not sure which brand to choose, here is a helpful comparison of Acquarella and Scotch Naturals.

Things I like about Acquarella:

  • I has good lasting power for a water based nail polish. It looks good on fingernails for about 5 days and easily lasts a month or more on toenails. 
  • It only takes two thin coats of polish, so you do not need a base coat or top coat.
  • I do not smell a thing while painting my nails! What a contrast to solvent based nail polish!
Things I like about Scotch Naturals:

  • It is easy to remove with their soy based remover. Only takes about 15 minutes. Much shorter than the 30-50 minutes of scrubbing to remove Acquarella with Acquarella remover.
  • The colors are sophisticated and appeal to a more mature crowd than just tweens. 
  • The base coat helps the polish paint on smoothly and the top coat adds shine. 

Have you tried Acquarella or Scotch Naturals? What do you think of these two non toxic nail polishes? Can you recommend any other water based nail polishes?
