I like to pamper myself every once in a while.  I used to go to the salon to have a manicure or pedicure but since having kids, I’ve learned that some things must be done at home… such as painting my own nails.
I was thrilled when I learned that Nubar was sending their ‘healthy’ polish for review on The Mommy Insider. I received several colors and used them all. Before I tell you about my great experience with the polish, I am going to tell you what I LOVE about Nubar polish. Nubar polish is formaldehyde-free, Toluene free, and (DBP) Dibutyl Phthalate free nail polish.  All three ingredients have been linked to some type of toxic effect on humans and/or animals.  A simple question to ask yourself is.. why use a product with these ingredients if you can use a like product without? Especially when the ‘like product’ produces the same result?!

After being touched with the effects of cancer within his own family,
Noubar Abrahamian, founder of nubar, didn’t want to produce a product
that could possibly harm customers so he set out to develop a healthy
alternative for this hard working industry. nubar set the standards
high for this task; they did not want to compromise wear-ability,
durability or strength in the process. Finally, the task was finished,
we are proud to announce to you, nubar, “The Healthy Alternative For Nail Care” exceptional nail lacquers, nail art and nail treatments containing zero Formaldehyde, Toluene or (DBP) Phthalate. nubar’s non-toxic line includes 14 exceptional Nail Treatments, over 180 colors, Moodies-48 color changing nail lacquers. nubar also carries 48 colors of nail art complete with their own individual striping brush and dotting tool.

I’ve used several Nubar nail polish colors and was pleased with the color and "staying" quality of all. As with anyone, I prefer certain colors, and found that I didn’t have any difficulty choosing several of my favorite colors via the Nubar website.  Their ‘collections’ make it easy for a mom to have a few colors on hand. I am a particular fan of the "Natures Touch" color collection but I’m sure you will find the perfect collection or individual color for yourself on the website.
