Last Friday I had time for an express manicure between having my hair cut and dinner. I chose shades Sapphire Leather Crush and Glitter Plata by TOY Nail Polish. I stupidly hadn’t taken my keys out of my bag before she started. By the time my nails were done all that time I thought I had, had magically vanished so even though I carefully took my keys out, they were in my bag, I created a small chip on one nail. That was over a week ago and though I went about my business as the hands on kinda gal that I am I haven’t added to that first misbegotten chip. The polish has receded maybe a millimeter from the tips of my nails, not bad at all.

TOY Nail Polish is the baby of an environmentally conscious fashionista. The nail polish is not tested on animals nor does it contain toxic ingredients routinely used in polishes. The bottles are even made from recycled glass. With 50 colours available in South Africa you would probably want to buy at least two shades (Two Of You).

There are a few boutiques that stock TOY nail polish but your best bet is probably to order it online either from Spree or directly from the TOY shop as they ship free of charge anywhere in South Africa.
