"Organic" is a buzzword used in many conversations today and is generally thought tome "grown from plants" or "harvested from nTURE". Chemistry regards organic as being "made with carbon atoms" and includes things like toluene and cyanide. The active agent in nail polish is usually acetone an organic compound in the proper chemical sense. While acetone was at one time produced using an industrial acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation process followed by distillation this does not really make it "Organic" in the popular senses any more than vodka. Modern manufacturing process for acetone starts with propylene and benzene - even more not organic in the popular sense.
