Overview

Sundays aren’t super up-front about their product ingredients, but after a bit of digging around on their website, I finally found the following ingredient list:

Butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, nitrocellulose, adipic acid/neopentyl, glycol/trimellitic, anhydride, copolymer, acetyl tributyl citrate, isopropyl alcohol, stearalkonium bentonite, acrylates copolymer, styrene/acrylates copolymer, silica, benzophenone-1, and trimethylpentanediyl dibenzoate.

As you can see, this formula contains benzophenone-1 and styrene/acrylates copolymer, neither of which I’d want on my nails or in my home. That said, this formula is better than most, is available in a lovely range of colors, and seems to fare well in terms of longevity.
