Mint Julep Gel Polish #039 vs Basecoat & Sealer Nail Polish: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Heavy metals in synthetic pigments, Contact sensitization from acrylate monomers, Nail plate damage from removal method and Photoinitiator leachables under UV/LED curing on the Julep and not on the Piggy Paint.
• We flag Heavy metals in organic pigments and Bacterial or fungal growth in water-based formula on the Piggy Paint and not on the Julep.
• Both carry a flag for Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from solvents, so neither choice avoids it.
• The Julep is gel polish (acrylate resin base, pigments, solvents) where the Piggy Paint is Water-based organic pigments and plant-derived resins, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Piggy Paint is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Julep grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
