Maison d'Anu Gatsby Nail Collection

When products are made without the nasties, I'm always rather sceptical whether they'll be any good. Surely the chemicals are there because they're needed?

Maison d'Anu pride themselves in delivering high end products using natural ingredients and their nail polishes are without the 'bad five' (toluene, formaldehyde, dibutyl, phthalate and camphor) promising to make your nail's look glam, but keeping them healthy at the same time.

Maison d'Anu nail shades prior to recent launch...

For autumn 2010 Maison d'Anu has launched the 'Gatsby Collection' four luxurious shades that give a nod to the Jazz era's decadence.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch event to try one of the polishes in the collection for myself, and while sipping prosecco, 'Green Light' was loving brushed on my talons, this deep emerald with a high shine finish really got me in the festive spirit.

Gatsby Collection: Green Light

I've so far been impressed, the polish dried within 15 minutes of base coat, two colour layers and a top coat being applied and has remained chip-free for three day and I love the rich, regal colour.

Maybe we don't need all those nasties after all?
