With These 5 Non-Toxic Kids' Nail Polish, Be Safe and Have Fun!
You may remember growing up with your mom’s collection of vibrantly colored nail polishes on her bedroom dresser. She would lovingly apply the different colors creating those special mom-daughter moments you remember so clearly to this day. Or maybe, you remember as a pre-teen getting excited seeing the tiny bottles of glittery Bon-Bons in the drugstores or receiving them in goodie bags from friends and classmates.
That’s the thing with nail polish.
It’s more than just painting your nails. So much more. Even more than the act of applying the polish, it’s about the experience of creating memories and bonds and sharing joy with loved ones.
So in this day and age, when we’re more aware of the toxic nature of nail polish, how can we preserve the fond tradition of painting nails without endangering our or our kids’ health?
Well, luckily, we have options for kids’ nail polish. Such as Northern Nail Polish’s nontoxic Glitter Kiddos Series!
But, before we get into the fun stuff, let’s take a quick look at the “scary” stuff so we know WHY we should probably keep walking past the nail polish aisle at the corner drugstore...
What’s in Nail Polish Anyways?
You may have heard of how nail polish isn’t the safest or cleanest product, especially for young kids who may put their fingers in their mouths. But what exactly is in nail polish? And why is it so unsafe?
The “toxic trio” is a group of three chemicals commonly found in nail polish that seem to cause the most alarm when talking about potential harm to the body. These chemicals are dibutyl phthalate, toluene, and formaldehyde. They are used for various features of nail polish, such as flexibility, hardening, and applying a smooth finish. However, these and many other chemicals found in polish can cause symptoms from mild ones, such as irritation and allergic reactions, to more severe ones, such as, disrupting the endocrine and reproductive systems, and causing cancer.
The presence of chemicals has been found in blood and urine samples of women who applied nail polish containing concerning ingredients; illustrating the fact that these harmful chemicals can be absorbed into the body. Harm to children may be obvious, but pregnant women (and their fetuses) are also at high risk of being negatively affected by nail polish.
One of the main issues with nail polish and other personal cosmetics is that the FDA does not have the legality to regulate manufacturers on their ingredients and formulas before products are released into the market. Therefore, the FDA can only take action after products are released and studies come out discussing potential dangers.
Now, there is something on the market for kids. Generally, these nail polishes are water-based. However, while these may be safer than traditional nail polishes, they are too easily peelable and removable, taking out some of the attraction of the traditional nail polish experience.
How Northern Nail Polish is Different
Toxin-free, vegan, and natural- a pure product from, and inspired by, Pure Michigan! What makes this collection of nail polish even better is that it’s chip-resistant and long-lasting. Northern Nail Polish is free from not only the “toxic trio”, but a total of 10 commonly found toxins, chemicals, and allergens.
The fact that the nail polish is safer than traditional nail polish, while still providing the same or even better quality, is a huge reassurance for everyone, but especially pregnant ladies, moms, and kids. Check out some of the testimonials below to see for yourself:
“I wear Northern Nail Polish because it has serious staying power, gorgeous, unique colors, and a clean formula to boot. Plus, their 10-toxin-free formula lets me paint my little girl’s nails guilt-free and doesn’t immediately chip off like other children’s polishes. It’s a total win for our family!”
“Northern Nail Polish is a product I love sharing with my young daughter. It's great peace of mind knowing that I'm painting safe products on our fingers and toes in fun Michigan inspired shades.”
“…they even LAST LONGER THAN MY EXPENSIVE POLISHES 😲...”
“...Since I’m pregnant, I love that it’s toxin-free. The topcoat makes a really nice shiny finish...”
“I haven’t been able to wear nail polish on my hands for more than a day for years, I was allergic to most everyone I tried...Well, I’ve had “sleeping Bear “ on for over a week and no reaction! Hurray !!!”
“I have Hashimoto’s Disease (auto-immune). Most nail polishes burn my fingers and toes and can make me sick. This is the first product I’ve tried that does none of this!!!”
Need more be said about what a relief it can be to have an alternative for spa nights? We live in a world today that surrounds us by chemicals and toxins day in and day out. While there are many things we can’t control, the nail polish you use on yourself and loved ones is not one of them! Make painting nails a tradition that you don’t have to worry about in the short term and long term.
Now that we’ve gone over the serious stuff, keep reading to learn more about Northern Nail Polish’s amazing Glitter Kiddo Series that you and the kids in your life are guaranteed to enjoy.
Fabulously Themed Unisex Glitter Kiddo Series
One of the most unique things about Northern Nail Polish is how the nail polishes are named. Almost every nail polish is inspired by and named after a feature of Michigan life (or life in general). As we already know, nail polish serves a much more personal and emotional purpose than just giving us pretty nails. Names like “Fresh Cider & Donuts” makes one nostalgic for deliciousness, family fun, and chilly, yet soothing weather. The glittery, flirty “Summer Vacay” brings back memories of youthful fun and play.
In the same way, the Kiddo Series doesn’t disappoint! There are five themes in this series of glitter nail polishes: mermaid, unicorn, trucks, dinosaurs, and outer space. And who says nail polish, especially of such diverse themes, are restricted to girls? Girls and boys can play with the glittery fun, whether it’s painting their own nails, painting their toys, or painting in general- or all 3! Each nail polish is clear consisting of themed glitter so that the polish can be applied by itself or over another color- kicking up the creativity potential even further!
