Karpati.
Australian-made Karpati nail polishes are free from toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate which is great because they’re all unnecessary and potentially harmful chemicals.
But what I would buy this polish for is the bottle design alone. It’s super functional by slipping over two fingers, eliminating the need for a surface to set the bottle on. I’ve spilled more than my share of nail polish and ruined countless things in the process and this is such a simple, effective design solution. (Although it irks me that the image has dark red being painted onto orangey-red nails, which is odd and inconsistent… is that strange?)

June 23, 2009 at 5:02 pmGenius! A great invention for painting nails in the car (which I don't suggest). Perhaps on the way to a wedding. Maybe because someone (err, me) forgot to do so an hour earlier.
PS. Don't worry, I wasn't driving.

(p.s. that was the first thing i noticed – bottle colour vs. nail colour)

June 26, 2009 at 7:59 pmnot at all strange it was the FIRST thing I noticed before reading your post about it so I'm happy to see you caught it too – but I love the bottle design idea, provided I wouldn't mess up those 2 fingers when taking it off to let my manicure dry.
