Cruelty-Free, Vegan Nail Polish By Kester Black Review

Okay so we all know that no nail-polish is going to be 100% natural, as that is an impossibility but there are certain things in nail polishes that I here at are LivingSafe look for when it comes to health and safety and these are the following; are the nail-polishes free of known toxic chemicals and are they certified cruelty free nail-polishes?

The Australian made Kester Black vegan nail-polishes tick both these boxes, plus they are also truly fabulous!

Kester Black polishes come in a huge variety of gorgeous colours (our photo here just shows only some of their huge rainbow palette of polishes).  I also really liked that the glitter in the polishes is actually made from PET no#1 plastic, meaning no toxic PVC plastic glitter.

The polishes themselves are super long-wearing, dry fast and are chip and streak proof , but the bit I liked the best, is you can get away with applying just one coat and still get the true colour, which is great if you are short on time or can’t sit still long enough to let 3 or 4 coats dry.
