Why I Love Scotch

I love scotch.  Scotchy, scotch, scotch.  Here it goes down, down into my belly.   -Ron Burgundy

Funny thing, I do too.  Not only can it turn a crappy day around, but also, it can quickly get you party ready.  I bet you didn't know that it is downright healthy.  Pregnant ladies, even for you.  Scotch is healthy for you and your babe.  That's right, I am a huge believer in it.

Now before you go all rock star on me, I should clarify.  I am talkin' about the gorgeous non-toxic, chemical free nail polish made by Scotch Naturals. (Editorial note- this one shouldn't go into your belly!)

Switching to a "cleaner" lifestyle hasn't been the easiest for me or my wallet.  There is a lot of misleading information and green washing.  You have to really search deep down in order to get truthful information.  It can be hard to do, especially for folks that don't know exactly what to look for and are quick to believe.  I am one of them.  I think I find something that is amazing, then after some further research, I realize that it isn't so black and white. 

That being said, I feel absolute confident in recommending Scotch nail polish.  I have a nasty nasty habit of biting my nails and wearing nail polish helps me break the habit.  As I was sitting on the couch a few weeks ago, watching Dexter and gnawing on my week old painted nails, I realized that I am probably ingesting disgusting chemicals from my polish.  Not only that, but our nail beds are so porous, I figured I was likely blocking them from breathing and suffocating them with chemicals instead.  No bueno. 

Skip to last weekend, alone (with a fab group of ladies), I found myself in the desert (my best girls bachelorette party).  In a haze (hangover), I stumbled upon (shopped in a posh boutique) Scotch Naturals.  I remembered reading about it in my general health/beauty research (my typical form of procrastinating and avoiding cleaning/picking up) and wanted to try it.  When I saw it on this fateful day, perfectly displayed with the colors radiating out of the glass, I knew that I had to snatch one up and pass the good word on to ya'll.  I fetched a trendy grey color, two voice recording parrots for the kids, and gorgeous peacock earrings for moi.  My haze quickly turned to clarity.  Leaving the boutique, I had a little bounce to my step.  Kinda funny how spending $ impulsively can instantly cheer me up while simultaneously frustrating the Husband. 

According to Scotch.

Scotch Naturals™ polish has a lot in common with the women who wear it. We are smart, fun, and forward thinking. We care about the environment, and we come in a wide variety of colors. When we want to look and feel our best, we choose natural products, knowing it’s not just healthier for us, but for the world around us.

Making the change to non-toxic nail polish is one you won’t regret. Scotch Naturals is a safe and eco-friendly alternative to conventional polish. Our revolutionary water-based formula delivers long lasting, salon-quality results in a stunning array of sophisticated shades.

Our polishes contain none of the chemicals found in typical nail polish. We are “3 Free” as well free of ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, nitrocellulose, acetone, and heavy metals. We are truly non-toxic.

They even make a line for kids.  If I had a little girl, I am sure this would be the only thing aloud to touch her precious nails. 

Check out their website at www.scotchnaturals.com.   They run about $15 and they sell a Cocktail Trio for $48.99.  You can get any three colors, the top coat and a nail buffer.  If you buy the Cocktail Trio you can get 20% off the Soy Nail Polish Remover or additional colors.  Plus free shipping on orders of $35 or more.  Check it out, they sell some wicked colors.  After browsing the website I think I need a few more colors and the Soy Nail Polish Remover.  I also would recommend the base/top coat.  My nails look great, but I would like a little more shine :)

  

Now if you don't buy Scotch, please, please, please, read the label and stay clear of phthalates, toluene, and formaldehyde.  These are the big 3 no nos.

Now that your nails are looking lovely and healthy, why don't you slather 100% Pure Hand Buttercream on for a truly magical eco-marriage. 

Bottom line, I love this stuff.  I love that it has no smell whatsoever and it goes on so smoothly.  I feel safe knowing my nails can look fierce without sacrificing my health.  Here's to Scotch.  Now go pour yourself a drink!  -Cheers
