It seems everytime someone or some store comes out with something good, the bottom line tells them if it should stay around, not the health of people or for the good of the environment. I have seen some less chemical laden polishes online, but you have to be careful that they dont take out one poison and substitute another! They are also a lot more money per bottle.

I used to paint my nails until I thought about all the millions of nail polish bottles that end up in landfills. Too heavy of a price to pay for me. I have been paintless for years now and I get more compliments on my naturalness than I did with painted nails.

I have heard of using a mixture made of beet powder and water to stain the nails. I am anxious to try it!

There is one called Priti polish that is made of soy, and they also make a remover as well from soy. These are supposed to be safe to use during pregnancy and on little girls, as well as the rest of us!

I use a water-based polish called "acquarella". I buy it online. Doesn't stay on as long (stays maybe 3 days) but it's worth it. They have many colors available. Drawback: About $18 a bottle.

When I print a receipe I find that at the bottom of the page there is printing on top of the articles in all of them. Is there some way to correct this;as it's hard to read them the way it is now.

Hi Annie,
How about this for the lasting quality of wellmade old things :- My senior lady friend has dishcloths in excellent condition that were left her by her Mother and used and laundered regularly since 1925!
Today I can't find a dishcloth to last a year!

I have seen henna used as a nail "tint". But, I have not tried to do it myself, so I couldn't tell you exactly how to prepare and apply the mixture. Maybe someone else out there knows?
