Vitacost also sells Pacifica.I use their eye shadows, all vegan. Zoya has a much larger selection of polish shades. I love the ones I get from Zoya that are reds with just a hint of sparkle in them. I get find good deals on Zoya on ebay.

@AngelPuppy1   I used to use Sally Hanson's , but can't find it easily anymore, so now I use Supernail Buffing Cream.

Thank you!!!  I just got a new Vermont Country Store catalog yesterday and they had a set of a buffing chamois and some cream.  I don't remember the price but I will have to check it out, too.

Re: Looking for nail color line that is healthier and not so full of chemicals

I just got Dior Nail Glow from Sephora.  It's expensive but I use 1 coat, it dries fast, and I like the 1 coat.  It just gives my nails a little color.  I tried 2 coats and didn't like it at all.  Actually, when I first put it on it has a bit more tint than I would like but the next day (I do mine before bed usually) it's just natural but better.

 

I wash my hands so often at work that color polish just doesn't last for me.  So base coat, polish, top coat is just a waste of time.  I've only used it for a couple of weeks so not sure how it will be for the nails over time since I think it is only 5 free.

Re: Looking for nail color line that is healthier and not so full of chemicals

I have used Londontown and Deborah Lippman and neither lasted 24 hrs on my nails, and this was before we were washing our hands every minute due to viruses.  Surprisingly I tried Revlon's new vegan formula and it is a onecoat, quick dry polish that can last me almost a whole week. I had no hope for it, but I tossed all the other ones I noted above and it is almost all I use now.  I know it isn't necessarily healthier to be vegan, but it is an option.  

 

Essie also had a good natural based polish I cannot seem to find lately, but that would be my first option if I could find it!  And like the Revlon formula, it lasted a week.  Regular Essie barely lasts a day for me without chipping.

I just started using Deborah Lippmann and I love her polish.  It dries really fast and comes off really easy with any polish remover.
