Nail Polish Collection
Who doesn't love nail polish? Just think about all the different colors you can choose from, all the different brand which offer you different formulas. A full collection can end up really expensive if you don't buy them on sale at drug stores or at off-price stores such at Winners or even at Dollarama.  

I got most of mine through a contest hosted by Nicole by OPI several years ago. Otherwise, most of them come from Winners or warehouse sales.

When purchasing nail polish, you want to make sure it is safe. If the bottle is cheap but contains chemicals that are harmful for your body, you definitely shouldn't use it.

Many companies have opted for "3 free", this means that it contains no dibutyl phthalate, toluene and formaldehyde. For example :
  • Butter London
  • CND
  • China Glaze
  • Essie
  • Nicole by OPI
  • OPI
"4 free" contains no dibutyl phthalate, toluene, formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin.
  • Estée Lauder
  • Inglot
  • Lancôme
  • M.A.C.
  • NARS
  • Orly
Others are even better with a "5 free" formula which contains no dibutyl phthalate, toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin and camphor, such as :
  • Channel
  • Ciaté
  • Deborah Lippmann 
  • Dior
  • L'Oréal
  • Mavala
  • Zoya
I hope this helps you choose your nail polish wisely!
