Nail polish for girls washes off

For a Halloween hue that will set a young witch’s heart aflutter, check out Nailmatic Kids’ dusky purple nail polish, “Piglou.”

The new water-and-soap-soluble polish from the Parisian brand gives girls the fun of a manicure without the harsh chemicals.

Nailmatic’s polish maintains its impressive opaque, shimmery sheen when it dries, and it doesn’t contain the usual frightening varnish ingredients such as: organic solvents, phthalates, formaldehyde, toluene, and fragrances. Instead, the .27-ounce glass bottle contains 100 percent light purple, which disappears from your child’s fingers with a bath or handwashing! (For longer wear, we applied a top coat to the Nailmatic Kids polish, but when we were ready to change colors, we had to use a typical polish remover.)

Recommended for gals ages 3 and older, the Nailmatic Kids bottle is adorned with silly and sweet drawings of faces. The polish is a fun stocking stuffer or a fantastic favor idea for a spa-themed birthday party.
