Cruelty Free - Nail Polish Brands That Don't Test On Animals

A lot of us adore having painted nails, or even creating wonderful and intricate nail art designs, but you may be an ethical consumer wanting to ensure that your nail varnishes aren’t tested on animals.

Not only are there plenty of choices for this, (some of them being the most popular brands around!), but there are also vegan companies that make great nail polishes that don't use animal products of any form - fantastic for those that want to look great and keep the animal kingdom safe from harm!

Whether you want glorious shades, crackle polishes, neon colours or even a nail polish that doesn't smell (yes, really!), it's all here!

With hundreds of shades to choose from, this brand is one that is favoured by many nail art fanatics. Whether you want to match your nails with your outfit or are looking for that perfect colour to complete your new design, you are sure to find an ideal shade with China Glaze. You can even remain ethical whilst you rock one of their amazing crackle polishes that will give you a stunning design with the stroke of a brush.

If you’re looking for vegan nail polish then this is a great company to check out!  Water-based and non-toxic, this is a wonderful brand that will also keep you from the unwanted side-effects of nail painting - namely yellowing, chipping and peeling.  With no chemical solvents and an odourless formula, this is a wonderful brand all around!  Especially since it does not require the use of a base or top coat – a great money-saver!

With nearly two hundred shades to choose from you are sure to find one that suits you just fine!  Not only will you find stunning opaque and sheer shades, but glitter and neon nail varnishes are also available.  With loads to choose from to make your designs just right, Color Club are an ethical and stylish nail polish brand.

With this brand not only are you keeping animals safe from the harms of testing, but you are also getting wonderfully colourful nail polishes with the cute Hello Kitty design on the bottles!  Who could resist?

Some of the large brands of nail varnish, such as Sally Hansen, Max Factor and Maybelline, among others, still test on animals, so if you want to be an ally to the animal kingdom then ensure that you have a browse online before you commit to buying a polish. Remember to double check, as well, since brands such as OPI, Essie and Cover Girl may be listed as being cruelty-free, but in actual fact have recently been bought over by companies that still insist on testing on animals. Also keep an eye out for brands that don’t test on animals themselves, but buy their chemicals from companies that do – Estee Lauder, Avon and Chanel are among these.

For those of you that want stylish nails without the cruelty there are plenty of great brands to pick from, and you don’t have to compromise on choice, shades or price! Fantastic!
