As I am sure all of you know by now OPI was bought by a company named COTY. Normally this wouldn't be such a bad thing except that COTY condones animal testing. As OPI was always animal cruelty free 3 free and overall awesome this comes as a shock to all of us loyal OPI fans.
I am so glad I got my natural nail base coat 2 weeks ago. Though it makes me sad for when I am going to have to find a new one:S
Other nail polish brands that do animal testing include:
L'Oreal ( which I didn't know until recently and then refused to buy one of there polishes last night when I feel in love with it...a bright blue jelly I neeeeeed a dupe)
Max Factor( do they do nail polish?)
Covergirl
Maybelline
One company that it surprises the *%# outta me in Nuetrogena. WHAT!?
Sally Beauty Supple
Sally Hansen
Its a good thing that we still have China Glaze( my favorite polish) Zoya and color club.
I will note that OPI says that they do plan on staying cruelty free, but by buying them you support COTY who does test on animals.
If you want to read more companies that test on animals( it will shock you so get ready) check out babbling Brooke's blog post:
