I like wearing nail polish even if my nails aren't the ideal "canvas" when it comes to most nail art. I don't normally wear them before since I usually get my hands dirty when I was a Fine Arts student back then. Every time I do plates I always end up getting whatever gunk and goo on my hands so I figured it wasn't really practical to have my nails done in the first place. Another thing I don't like is when they also tend to leave annoying yellow stains that can't easily be removed by acetone. Ugh.
Luckily now, we have more choices in the market so we don't have to settle with cheap toxic nail polishes anymore. Last May 13, I got introduced to the QT Nail Magic Collection by Weens Cosmetics Philippines at Tra Vinh Authentic Vietnamese Noodles.
Weens Cosmetics is a local brand by Armadale Manufacturing Corp. that also carries different beauty products like nail polish, nail polish, colognes, skin care, hair care, bath / shower, baby care and medicated oil / balms.
What makes it so different is that this brand in particular is the first and only FDA approved brand that manufactures cruelty-free and vegan nail polish locally with the 5-Free Formula. The 5-Free Formula means it's free from the top 5 most harmful carcinogenic chemicals found on most nail polish brands.
Here's what you DON'T need in your nail polish:

The 5-Free Formula means it's free from the top 5 most harmful carcinogenic chemicals found on most nail polish brands.
Here's what you DON'T need in your nail polish:
- Toluene used as a solvent that can cause cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm. You can be exposed to it by breathing it in our putting it on your skin, which can cause skin irritations.
- Dibutyl Phtalate (DBP) keeps nail polish from chipping but it is linked to cancer, toxic to reproduction, and endocrine disruptive with links to obesity.
- Formaldehyde is commonly used to embalm bodies. It can trigger asthma and is also involved in causing cancer.
- Formaldehyde Resin is used to strengthen the nails. It's similar to Formaldehyde by less harmful. It can irritate the skin and can cause dermatitis.
- Camphor is a natural ingredient that can cause skin irritation and redness. Exposure in large doses, especially through inhalation can cause dizziness and headaches.
Most importantly, I love how they look on my nails! I doubt you won't find a single shade that you'll like since they are currently producing over 200 shades in their collections. Another thing to love about it is it's made from imported raw materials so you won't have to worry about anything when you paint your nails. Totally guilt-free.
One of their newest product line is the QT Nail Magic Collection. Armadale Manufacturing Corp. Founder Sir Micheal Ang told us that the entire line was inspired by the beautiful heavenly bodies.
