A curable aqueous polyurethane dispersion is formed by reacting a polyol component with a polyisocyanate. The polyol component comprises a1) at least one non-ionic polyol, a2) at least one polyol bearing at least one ionic or potentially ionic group comprising an acid group or salt thereof and a3) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monoalcohol or polyol. The polyol component contains carbon atoms from renewable resources. A method for making the curable aqueous polyurethane dispersion, uses of the aqueous polyurethane dispersion, cured polyurethanes and nail polish formulations comprising aqueous polyurethane dispersions are also disclosed.
