How to Make Pet Nail Polish

Applying nail polish to an animal's nails has become a popular trend in pet grooming. Cats and dogs can now enjoy safe nail polishes in nearly every color imaginable as using human nail polish on pets is unsafe because it contains toxic chemicals that can be detrimental to your pet's health. Organic, pet-friendly nail polishes can even be made from home. The result is a brilliant nail color that will last several weeks before fading.
