Illegal Nail Polish, Anyone?

Illegal Nail Polish, Anyone?


The United States of America; the land where you can produce and sell just about anything … except for Neon Nail polish for some reason. Over the past few days, reports have circulated the internet stating that neon nail polish is actually illegal to produce in the USA. Marijuana is legal in some states for god’s sake. What is it about the trendy, fashionable polish that makes it so illicit? According to an interview with Doug Schoon from CND- Creative Nail Design on MailOnline:

“The FDA requires that all cosmetic colorants be approved for use. Colorants used to create, neon, day-glo or glow-in-the-dark nail polishes have not gone through the FDA approval process, so technically they are not allowed for use for nail polish applications.”
