I’ll admit that a manicure or a pedicure is a glamorous treat when you have kidlets running around. Still, the occasional pedicure does indeed sound attractive when I think that sandal weather is just around the corner. But with all this new awareness about the nasty chemicals in makeup and skin products, it made me think twice about slathering on all that nail polish or worse yet, seeing all that polish on young girls!

Solution? Nubar, the carcinogenic-free nail polish! That’s right…no formaldehyde, no toluene, and no phthalates. My personal favorite is the Support the Cure 4-Pack of gorgeous pinks (10% of this one goes to St. Jude Children’s Hospital!!), but you can also find a variety of individual colors to suit your mood.

They also have plenty of other nail products in addition to polish - like the Cucumber Cuticle Oil. I, for one, plan on toting these little beauties with me on my next visit to the nail salon. Ahhh, a professional pedicure using my own safe nail products…..my toes are going to love summer this year!
