Nail polish?

Is nail polish a renewable resource or non renewable resource?Nail polish?
Nail polish is a mixture of things; it includes pigments, solvents, and resins/polymers etc to form the paint-like film when it dries. Most of the components are probably derived ultamately from petroleum or mineral substances, so, at least some of it is, technically, non-renewable, however, lets keep it in perspective, the quantity of the earths resources used for nail polish is a very, very tiny fraction, so you can paint your nails without feeling a lot of guilt that you are ripping through the earth's resources like there is no tomorrow.





If you could get your parents to plan ahead and combine errands when driving, not go hog-wild with the air conditioning, fix the leaking fawcet washers, and such stuff, it would offset your nail polish use many, many times over.
