Product Review: No-Miss Nailpolish
I spent quite a bit of time in the cosmetics aisle at Whole Foods today. I was looking for a natural shampoo that doesn’t smell horrible, but was quite unsuccessful. It wasn’t a complete loss because I found a new nailpolish alternative! (Their claim, not mine.)
The No-Miss “Healthy Alternative Product” nailpolish is brought to you by No-Miss, Ltd. (They look scary, don’t they? I mean, what’s up with that makeup and what on earth possessed them to use a photo where the guy is holding his cell phone to his ear? If this picture had been on the brochure, I probably would have skipped the product. Hmm, this site reeks of oddness - notice the URL?)
Product Review:
Price: $6.99 at Whole Foods
Color: Bunnell Blush (the picture looks nothing like the actual, which is a light silvery pink)
Packaging: It’s in a regular looking nailpolish bottle. The nice thing about it is that there isn’t any extra packaging - just the bottle and the sticker on the bottom.
Animal Testing: Another miss on the does and doesn’t test on animals list. VeganEssentials claims it neither has animal ingredients nor does animal testing.
Product Quality: I’m about to put on a third layer of polish. Maybe it’s the wrong color for me, or maybe it’s not as good as regular nailpolish. I can’t tell. It does dry very quickly, in fact, it’s probably the quickest drying nailpolish I’ve ever used. The application is smoother and thinner than regular nailpolish - not thick and goopey. Other than feeling the need to put on three coats, there is no visible difference between it and a regular nailpolish. Some things to note: it does NOT have the overwhelming stench of other nailpolish brands. I guess that’s because it doesn’t have formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl pthalate, or camphor.
Colors: Tons and tons, you have to see them for yourself.
Durability: Hard to tell, but I’ll get back to you on that one.
Comments from others: Here’s a great review from Pragmatic Woman, who also notes that it’s sold on lots of vegan websites, which I can verify is quite true!
Conclusion: Don’t look at the No-Miss website, and you’ll love the product.
