Little Girl Manicure

March 16th, 2011

I’ve been on the lookout for non-toxic, smell-free, affordable nail polish for a while now. There are several good, expensive non-toxic polishes out there that I’ve tried in the past, but could we find a cheaper one?

I looked for less-toxic suggestions on Skin Deep, a database that lists and evaluates toxins in cosmetics, and found WaterColors by Honeybee Gardens, a water-based polish with no fumes. What I love best? You can remove it with rubbing alcohol or their less toxic nail polish remover. Perfect for using with kids!

At around five dollars a pop, they aren’t too pricey, plus they come in a variety of fun colors.

We bought two: Valentine, a bright bubble gum pink, and Tuscany, a metallic purple.

The perfect product for our daughter’s first manicure!

Talk about little girl heaven… plus, mama gave herself a pedicure! We’re both happy girls today.

  1. Yay! We bought piggy paints for Isabela for Christmas but they are $9 a piece! I’m excited to see another more affordable option!
