REVIEW: Etude House (not cruelty free) Nail Polish- 2 STARS- Black Milk Tea(BR301), Strawberry Milk(PK003), Pink Ade(PK10)


AmorePacific (parent company) announced they would no longer test on animals, but they refuse to pull out of China ($_$). Thus they cannot be considered cruelty-free.


REVIEW: Etude House nail polish -Black Tea Milk (BR301), Strawberry Milk (PK003), Pink Ade (PK10) -2 stars

Brand: Etude House
Product: Nail Polish
Origin: South Korea
Tested on Animals: Parent company AmorePacific ended testing in May 2013 but has yet to pull out of China...


Color: Black Tea Milk -BR301

Strawberry Milk -PK003

Pink Ade -PK010
Size - 7 ml- pretty  small
Color: All 3 are pretty close to what the bottle color is and not watery. The Strawberry Milk (PK003) is kind of sheer and takes a few coats to show up...
Thickness: standard, not watery
Lastability- the edges chip just like any other nail polish. Very poor.
Package: Cute with classic pink tulip tops
Overall-  not recommended- I really like the variety of pinks that these come in, but they don't stay on and they chip within a day. Quality is very very low.

Cosmetics, Skincare and Animal Testing Lies...

Cosmetics, Skincare & Animal Testing Lies... This is kind of a long time coming...but it can be SO hard to find out if Korean cosmetic brands are tested on animals because of the language barrier... There are several sits dedicated to informing you of American and European brands that test on animals...here are some links... LEAPING BUNNY  free cruelty free guide BUAV (ENGLAND)  BUAV's actual list is online and FREE...  Cruelty Free   American Anti-Vivisection Society   Nature Watch (UK) Uncaged (UK)  They require payment for their cruelty free guide and they get it from Nature Watch... KARA Korea  KARA I am NOT including PETA because I do NOT support their  deceptive practices. The woman who runs PETA believes pitbulls should be exterminated from the planet and she supports BSL (bred specific legislation that results in family dogs being snatched from their homes and killed), all feral cats should be killed,believes no animals should be owned as pets, uses naked ce

STILA now tests on animals...and PETA couldn't care less.

Further proving that one cannot even trust two-faced PETA's list, cosmetics company Stila admits to testing on animals on their website and on "Twitter", yet remains on their cruelty-free list. Does anyone remember when Too-Faced and Urban Decay decided to sell in China and thus test on animals and PETA attacked them and UD reversed their decision? It was in all of that that Hard Candy was also accused of this and they became angry and went to their FB page to clear it all up? And then UD got an award from PETA for deciding NOT to do something terrible? I know we can't expect much from an organization that has a spokeswoman (Ellen) who is the face of a cosmetics company that is notorious for testing on animals, but if they are going to put out a list and attack companies that start testing, they should at least be accurate. I sent them a polite e-mail saying there was an error in their list with the correct info and a link... and got the auto-reply that they promise
