Avoid these ingredients:
Toluene, causes headaches and impairs brain function
Formaldehyde or formaldehyde resins, a preservative that causes fatigue, nausea, and dizziness
Dibutyl phthalate, toxic carcinogen
Xylene, damaging to the central nervous system
Camphor, easily absorbed through broken skin and can cause toxicity with frequent exposure
With the alternative of MOOV nail lacquer, it's easy to avoid these ingredients and still have beautiful, long-lasting nail colour.

1. Set some time for yourself! 20 minutes a week for nail care and you can have nails that are beautiful and healthy.
2. Cuticle cream is your nail's best friend. Apply some to the base of your nails on a daily basis. This helps to stimulate circulation and promote healthy growth.
3. Soak your cuticles once a week in some warm water. Apply hand cream and manicure gloves overnight for soft and smooth hands. 4. When it comes to filing, use a soft grade natural nail and file nails from the outer edge to the centre - do not "saw" back and forth.
