barenaked

i have no interest in painting my nails since last week.  maybe because their awfuly short now... ill just have wait for a few more weeks.

though i received my most awaited rimmel insolence, CND stickey and Seche vite from amazon already...

which confuses me.  CND said their stickey is 3-free (that's why i bought it), which means there is  no toulene, folmaldehyde or DBP, but when i checked the ingredients in the bottle, hello toluene!  seche vite has it too, but at least they don't advertise that they are 3-free.  which also adds to my disinterest for nail art this week.

toluene, DBP and formaldehyde are the ingredients that health buffs are rallying against nail polish manufacturers to be removed because of harmful effects to the body, although its still being debated because of the 'insignificant' amount of it in nail polish to cause a concern.  but still i did not use any during my first trimester, when the baby's organ development is crucial.  and also i hated the fumes...

good thing my sally hansen and rimmel is free of those... but for konad?  good luck, DBP and toluene are both present.  that's why i would never paint konad straight on my bare nails again.

in the meantime im just using the cuticle oil i received last week from a seller in hong kong.  and i love cuticle oils on bare and buffed nails, so after using magiff buff (you know those three-way buffs?) i just use these pen dispensers and voila, presentable bare nails.
