"Neon polish is actually illegal to produce in the US," Jan Arnold, co-founder and creative director CND Colours told MORE magazine.
“The FDA requires that all cosmetic colorants be approved for use. Colorants used to create, neon, day-glo or glow-in-the-dark nail polishes have not gone through the FDA approval process, so technically they are not allowed for use for nail polish applications.”
Neons are a MUST this season, from hot neon pumps to tanks, skirts && my absolute favorite neon nails!
Well here is a lil’ something to know about our guilty pleasure, it is actually illegal to produce Neon Nail polishes in the U.S.
Now it is not illegal to wear (so nope we are not criminals ) but its to produce, which means that that neon pink nail polish you are sporting is either imported or just a bright hue not a true neon.
The good news, the U.S is currently working on the first legal neon nail polishes in the country.
What do you think of this crazy law?

That is such an interesting fact, I can't believe they're illegal to produce in the US! Hopefully this isnt the case in the UK as I love neons!
