Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

If you suffer from nail-related nicks, you’ve likely noticed that maintaining shiny, strong nails that don’t flake is key. Now if you’re anything like me, the two solutions I tend to use are strong nail polish and dry, pumice stone — but which one is the better option? When it comes to mastering that healthy manicure, don’t forget to speak up when it comes to safe nail polish! I reached out to Gary Patterson, owner of the nail salon The Holistic Nail’s Department of Nails, to get some expert advice on what’s safe and what’s not.

Gary told POPSUGAR, “There are lots of ingredients that are used in nail polish. They are not all hazardous! Nail polish made with natural ingredients is great. It is safe because it uses UV light instead of chemicals. The only ingredient I’m afraid of in nail polish is hydrogen peroxide. It is full of free radicals and can cause damage to the nail. It’s still a safe and effective nail treatment.”
