Many of you may already be familiar with the nail polish drive that my daughter had at the end of last school year. Over 200 nail polish bottles were collected to take to Chemwise for recycling. The reason for this drive was to let people know that there are alternatives to toxic nail polish

All of these nail polish paintings are now available for purchase at the ecoSCRAPBOOK shop on Etsy. Each original painting pays for 25 bottles of nail polish to be recycled. The paper used is acid free and was manufactured with wind power.
