Sinful polish, available at Walgreens, is free of those bad chemicals and at $1.99, you can’t beat that deal. The only prob is some colors, you need to apply an extra layer or so, but it’s cheap, looks great and is bad-chemical free, so it’s worth it in my book. They also have like 100 colors!!!

Hi G! This post is very old and I’ve updated my list since then. Essie went 3-Free a couple years ago. Check the links in this post for my updated list of brands. Thanks!

Hey there, just came across your blog by searching 3 free nail polish on google. Super interesting post, thanks for the explanations. I made a little research and seems like ESSIE is 3 free too. It says so in the details of the ESSIE nail polishes on the ULTA website.

I have to say I am surprised by the lack of alarm. Formaldehyde is a proven carcinogen. Toluene is harmful as well, and a potential carcinogen. The three chemicals mentioned in this article are all harmful, and that’s why there have been so many 3-free nail polish lines, even water-based nail polishes. Another thing, these chemicals are tested on animals. Women working in nail salons find that these chemicals give them headaches and health problems. Please be wary of these ingredients!

For the first time in 25 years I’ve only just been able to paint my nails sucessfully without any reaction thanks to Revlon’s recent formaldehyde & toulene free nail varnish! My only wish is they would bring out some more colours as I’m bored of using the same colours! Helen from Warwickshire

Does Shellac nail polish contain the big 3? Is it safe to use while pregnant? Thank you for your help!
