Help me find a lipstick that's the same shade as this nail polish?

Sorry, didn't mean to delete that comment. Norbornanediamine/Resorcinol Diglycidyl Ether Crosspolymer is not safe to be in cosmetics due to toxicity and carcinogenic properties, but they also have colourants used yet not listed: you can't get blue from Iron Oxide. The only blue safe for lip use in the US is the dye Blue #1. Can't get vivid green from iron oxide. Mica has no colour, and non-lip safe colourants in other lipsticks like Ferric Ferrocyanide, Chromium Green, and Ultramarines. None of these are safe or legal for use in lip products in the US. It's very important cosmetic makers know at least the basics of every ingredient they are incorporating, but ideally are familiar with the safety and properties of each. Not just for their customers, but themselves in regards to potential allergies or topical reactions.

I usually refrain from commenting like this if I notice something (mainly because I've angered several), but there's always the possibility of FDA or whatever government person(s) deciding to get harsh with requirements (this was attempted and well into lawmakers hands 12 years ago) and force all personal care product manufacturers -from cosmetics to polish to perfume to soap- to have every single product tested and registered, which is very costly, putting thousands out of business or driving prices so high that only the large corporations will survive.
