What we thought we knew for sure: An effective nail polish remover must be noxious enough to make our nostrils burn a little. So when we uncapped Karma Organic Nail Polish Remover ($10; KarmaOrganicSpa.com) and caught only a soft whiff of lavender, we doubted it could dissolve even the sheer beige on our fingers. But it did! And then it made a clean sweep of the chipped cherry red on our toes. The formula trades acetone (the hair-singeing ingredient in most polish removers) for an acid derived from corn and soy (sourced from farmers located near the company's New Jersey headquarters) and adds vitamin E for extra moisture. It smells lovely, works quickly, and leaves nails looking shiny, not stripped. — Jenny Bailly Get our step-by-step guide on how to wear the bold, gorgeous makeup that's in style now |
