The Best Nontoxic Kids' Nail Polishes for Summer: Celebrity Tots and Mario Included!
I got a manicure on Tuesday, which got me thinking about the latest trend among Hollywood tots: painted nails! Like most girls, mani/pedis are one of my favorite ways to spoil myself. Before having Mario, I used to get a mani/pedi every Saturday; needless to say, I don’t get them that often anymore! This week was different, though—I went to LUX SF, my favorite neighborhood nail boutique, where they use Deborah Lippmann Nail Color. I chose Lara's Theme for my hands and She Drives Me Crazy for my toes. While getting my nails done, two mothers came in with their daughters, making me think (for a moment) that it would be fun to have a daughter date at a nail boutique.
Hollywood toddlers (boys and girls) are all about painted nails—two-year-olds like Vivienne and Zuma, and older kids like Kingston, all spend time at the salon with their celebrity moms. Maybe I could bring Mario along, since Zuma proves that painted nails aren’t just for little girls anymore. If your little one is also into getting their nails done, I’ve put together my favorite nontoxic kids' nail polishes in the hottest colors for summer!
Check out these colorful and on-trend shades from five great nontoxic nail polish brands just for kids:
Hopscotch Kids: The safest, most playful cosmetic line for kids. Named after nursery rhymes and schoolyard games, Hopscotch Kids goes beyond “3 free” and “5 free” nail polishes. They’ve replaced ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, nitrocellulose, acetone, alcohols, and heavy metals with water and acrylic polymers.
Keeki Pure and Simple: Founded after the search for products their own children could use, Keeki Pure & Simple’s non-toxic, water-based nail care line is safe for little hands. They are 100% biodegradable, vegan, and gluten-free.
Priti NYC Princess Collection: The children’s line from Priti NYC, designed by Siena, an 8-year-old creative director. These sparkly, fun, and non-toxic polishes are 5-free (no toluene, formaldehyde, DBP, camphor, or formaldehyde resin). Some even glow in the dark!
Piggy Paint: Founded by a mom of two very fancy daughters, Piggy Paint is water-based and made with all-natural ingredients. It’s free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate, and acetone. Plus, it’s made in the USA!
Suncoatgirl: This kid-specific line is the cleanest nail polish on the planet, winner of The Green Parent Award in the UK. It’s water-based, VOC-free, peels off easily, and is safe for tots aged 3 and up.
