Nail color trends-Can these be eco friendly?

Nail colors are one of the little beauty secrets that we all have in our make up bags; but nail colors are made up of chemicals that are not good for the environment as we remove the color with nail enamel removers and discard the colors into trans cans that soon find their ways to land fills. The removers themselves are chemical composition and when you put together all the discards of nail polish users all over the world, you are left with a big environmental mess. express-finish-50-second-nail-color_model-shot_104322
