I had literally sworn off painting my nails in the name of green beauty. Once, twice a year at most, I was using some less-than-agreeable polishes on my nails, or would sometimes use some of the green ones I was gifted, but other than a few selects (Kure Bazaar and Genfiore are my other note-ables) my color palette has been limited to a few brands.
Aila Cosmetics is different: physician developed, free of the nasty 5 toxins, vegan, gluten free, paraben free, and cruelty free, these chic, beautiful, sassy polishes are so gorgeous and really break the mold. Founded by Cary ( a Doctor, Montessori school president, deeply loving mother, and medical contact for Make-A-Wish) and Sonny ( an LA resident, English Bulldog mommy, & former Podiatric Surgeon), Aila also gives back.
5 Senses, a colour of Aila’s namesake, is my current favorite. Other favorites include: My 2 Jeffs, Power Drink, Ms. Martin, & Mister Pookies.
Aila (Cary’s daughter) was born with extreme differences, but they were not understood and went undiagnosed for years. After countless attempts to diagnose Aila, they eventually learned that she has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Aila donates a portion of the proceeds to SPD Foundation through the AILA Gives program to support research and awareness of SPD.
Personal Pros:
Gorgeous colors with incredible back story’s to each brand name (seriously – check ‘um out!), a great retailer, a wonderful cause, and a brand that gives back – what’s not to love? And just in case you missed it: these nail polishes are also good for you, strengthening your nails, adding shine (I recommend the top coat like crazy!), and you don’t have to worry about ANY nasties. Their ingredient list can be found here.
