Brand new: Lowest price The lowest-priced brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging where packaging is applicable. My oldest is asleep right now sporting a purple sparkly pedi. My toddler has toenails the color of fresh squeezed O. Since no one wants to share a noxious chemical-laden hobby with their children, I was excited to try RGB Cosmetics — one of the only brands of formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP free nail polishes on the market.
Nail polish lovers can choose shades from Ten , their mainstay collection of 10 carefully edited shades; they cover the gambit from your Goth girl friendly RGB Black a deep dark black with just a hint of shimmer to the ladies that lunch appropriate RGB Buff for a natural clean look or pick a limited edition shade from seasonal collections. Until I checked their site, I was describing it as grey with a touch mauve.
Haze graced my toes for nearly three weeks without chipping or losing its shine. I also tested RGB 10 , part of the original ten colors, a sheer blush. RGB 10 is designed to make your nails look natural but times better. I just wanted to see if one could build color with this shade. Despite not using a topcoat nor doing a touch up, my manicure lasted 4 days without a chip even after doing a round of dish washing.
Members of our we heart this review team received the other colors from the Pre-Fall 09 collection for review, Steel front bottle an industrial grey and Toast middle bottle a modern taupe. Make sure to check the comments for their thoughts! Rakisha Kearns-White is a mom, a wife, a librarian, and a chick seriously into well-manicured nails.

To be perfectly honest — Rakisha look away now! Forget it. So bravo to RGB for coming up with such an eco and people! For a start, it went on smoothly and dried quickly. And the color! And how did it fare in the typing test? It lasted at least three days before it started chipping which is pretty good going by my standards. Such as Clinique. Hey, Lesley. It does smell varnishy or as strong as other nail products, which is great because my hubby hates the smell but appreciates the look.
Plus, it really wore well with a top cote and base coat…. I got through about two days with NO chips, which for me is miraculous! I get easily bored with colors that I see on every display—oh the coral, oh the blue, oh the black. Every brand looks like the one before it. This Haze , however, really has no kin. I see smog natural here in L. Think of it as a new take on an old neutral—taupe. I like the color family displayed in the photo here as well: all neutral, none predictable.
Who does that? However, when I do get in the mood to make my nails look pretty I go for the unusual colors, like purple, black, bright pink, and deep reds.
Anyway, I was happy to see a new color, I got Toast. It also went on smooth and I only had to use two coats. I used a base and top coat and the polish lasted about 4 days before noticeable chipping started. I also used this on my toes. I painted my toe nails a deep red color and used the toast on the tips for a French Manicure look.
It looks pretty cool, next time I might do the reverse. I think that would look better…. I know I should probably feel bad, but I never really worried about what chemicals I put on or in my body until pretty recently.
I never paid attention to the kind of chemicals that were in nail polish—I knew they had some nasty ones, but I somehow manage to forget many formulas contain ingredients like formaldehyde, as in the dead body preserver. It preserves dead bodies, folks. I am kinda loving that these polishes do not contain 3 of the nastier components that many nail polishes still use today.
I hit the jackpot and got to test out Toast and Haze. Let me just say that I am a lazy nail person. I give myself a pedicure about once a month, sometimes more if I absolutely fall in love with a color, which is rare. I absolutely hate chipped polish, so I only paint my fingernails if I want to be extra sassy, which is maybe twice a month. When I saw Toast , I was inspired to go all out and redo my pedicure and my fingernails, too. The shade looks pretty underwhelming in the bottle, but once applied is this really unique and matte shade of not just taupe, but a warm, yet somehow cool, strangely finger-elongating shade of taupe.
It is a perfect nail color for Fall—very flattering for the earth tones I tend to wear this season. It was also vegan, cruelty-free, and made in the USA.
And did I mention chic? So chic. The letters RGB in the name represent the red, green, and blue colors that mix together to form all other colors—and what a selection there was! Devoted fans will surely miss the mod polish which stayed current by offering seasonal hues inspired by runway trends, giving it a competitive edge over other brands.
That may be why the line appealed to a broad fan base from celebrities and mainstream stylists to green beauty advocates. Photo credit. The nude collection eventually expanded to include an assortment of whisper sheer hues to more opaque tints to match nearly every skin tone. Way to embrace diversity in beauty!
In addition to nail color, RGB offers—offered?! With such rapid-fire success, it did not look like the company would be shutting down any time soon. You can check it out for yourself here. The sudden disappearance baffled shop owners like Jennifer Freitas, founder of The Truth Beauty Company which carries the popular line.
I have been waiting a very long time and have emailed many times and received no replies. In fact, I think they deleted all their posts! Jennifer also noticed an odd Instagram photo that had been posted a few weeks ago tagging Khloe Kardashian with a message about a new director, but that post has since been removed. Once again, as you can see from the screenshot below, it looks like the account has been removed.
At this point, any guesses as to what happened to the line are mere speculation. Beautylish is no longer selling the nail polish, though it shows up on the site, however you can still find it on Net-A-Porter and Beautybar. Of course, it begs to be stated that there are no truly natural, organic, non-toxic, or eco-friendly nail polishes.
By virtue of their need to actually adhere to the nail, chemicals that are anything but natural must be incorporated into the formula.
But Nath, the awesome blogger at Beautycalypse. As for solvent-based polishes, RGB certainly made the cut as much for the variety of colors as for its high shine and chip resistance, making its absence felt even stronger.
Jennifer added:. I feel like I just wrapped up an episode of Unsolved Mysteries! Plus let us know what you love using on your nails. Yes, going bare is definitely a pick. Your turn! Great post Sarita! Perhaps, some answers will come of it! It would be such a shame to no longer get RGB; their range of nudes was something I really loved about the line! I hope so, Jennifer! I loved the nude range too.
There was something for everyone. Sarita, have you tried the RMS nail polishes? Thank you for your recommendation. My favorite is Treat Collection. The colors are beautiful and varied and it lasts a long time. I always use a base and top coat.
I think that helps any polish last, natural or not. True that about a base and top coat, Annette. I was going to write about that and then figured that was a tangent on a tangent so I stopped myself. What a mystery. Me too, Mimi! I hope we get answers—especially for the brands who worked with them. This is so very strange! No notice at all for such a huge disappearance. Thanks for looking into this!
I have another green beauty mystery… is Spirit Beauty Lounge going to be ok? She was such a pioneer in the eco beauty world I really just hope all is well. Spirit is truly a pioneer. Thanks, Sarah, for your comment. I have been wondering about SBL myself; it was literally the very first green beauty site I ever shopped and oh, how I shopped a lot from there.
But it became increasingly hard to get what I needed bc they were always out of stock. I know Spirit is a recent new mom so I hope all is well in that aspect! Much love, Nath P. This is awesome, Nath! Thank you for your ongoing research on safer nail polish options. It will be exciting to see where this closed door leads…perhaps to cleaner adventures! Unfortunately, consumers can't run lab tests for everything!
Plus, it's not our job. I do believe the founder is going through personal problems. Hi Karen! Thanks for letting us know.
