How to be more sustainable with your nails

"...and it won't always be perfect.

  ...It's like slipping on a new pair Loubotin Heels, or getting balayage on your hair. Your nails are both a body part and an accessory.

"...as natural as the food you eat."

While it's important to make your nails beautiful, it's equally important to 
ensure that what you put on your nails are as natural as the food you eat.

Here is Line Spa's TOP 3 ways to ensure your nails are 
Vegan, Sustainable, and Non-Toxic:

Ditch the fake nails

We won't deny just how badass extensions feel, but did you know that 90% of Extensions are made of Non-Degradable Plastic? Instead, go natural! 
If you're looking to kickstart your love for your natural nails journey, we've got just
the nail studio for you!

Invest in Quality Glass Nail Files

"Instead, go natural!" 
Oh, yes. They exist. And they are the Nail Industries most underrated product! They're not only softer on your nails, and make your nails smoother, but they last FOREVER!

If you're still not convinced, we promise you that this single fact will 
blow you away... It is impossible to damage your nails with glass nail
files.



Use Sustainably sourced Cuticle Oil

Not all cuticle oils were made equal, and while olive oil is a staple in your home, it doesn't belong on your nails, let alone your skin! Fortunately, there are alternatives. (Tip: we've linked our favorite Sustainably sourched Cuticle Oil) 
"It is impossible to damage your nails"



There are thousands of ways to be more sustainable, and it won't always be perfect. Sustainability is a journey, and yours start with your nails.
