I’ve already mentioned A Beautiful Life’s nail polish once before.  Talking about my new stuff  pre-review is usually not my M.O., but I’m flying by the seat of my pants lately.

It’s called ‘Shroom, and it’s a wee bit browner than this image shows, but still very office-friendly, without being clear or light pink or something else kind of typical.

Not that all of A Beautiful Life‘s colors are office-friendly…

…but they are all “three free” (no DBP, Toulene or Formaldehyde) and developed using all natural ingredients.

At twelve bucks each, they’re on the high end of polish prices, but after trying a number of other polishes – non-toxic and otherwise – I can see why: A Beautiful Life is on par with Zoya when it comes to quality.  Opaque color with one thin coat; no sticky, uneven application; and best of all, it stays the hell on.

(Nail polish and my toes don’t get along – I have that weird nail-rubbing-on-shoes issue that ruins almost any self-applied pedicure.  A Beautiful Life’s Envy has lasted me over a week without so much as a chip.  By the way, that’s Envy in the bottle, ‘Shroom on my nails.)

I’ve also heard great things about A Beautiful Life‘s soy nail polish remover, but haven’t had a chance to try it yet.

Have you tried a “Three Free” nail polish (like Butter London, Zoya or A Beautiful Life)?

How did it compare with toxic polish?
