The Bite:
imageWanna get your buzz from cocktails, not nail-polish fumes? Get liquored and lacquered up without the fancy-finger chems at Peponi Nail and Skin Care Lounge, where each mani or pedi comes with a complimentary drink. Peponi uses polishes, such as Zoya, that are free of formaldehyde, toluene, and phthalates - chems linked to kidney damage and cancer. Grab that free drink after work Wed. or Fri. ('til 8p.m.) and sip (chug?) your glass of wine during the Rejuvenator pedi - rosemary salt soak...ahh - or join in on our new brunch ritual: Satin Hands treatment and mimosa. We're looking forward to May, when we can toast to Thu. Martinis and Manis nights. Pass the lacquer, please (hic).
Wanna Try: 
Peponi Nail and Skin Care Lounge, 853 Lincoln Blvd. b/t Brooks and San Miguel Aves., Venice (310-450-7195). Satin Hands, $45.

Cocktail Fact

Pop culture phenomenon Sex and the City revitalized the popularity of the Cosmopolitan martini.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters pamper themselves with five bottles of formaldehyde-free polish every year instead of regular polish, we'll keep enough cancer-causing chems out of the environment to fill 250 martini glasses.
