Kid Nail Polish
microplastic-free & low-VOC formula
How do I use it?
1) Shake super well! Like natural peanut butter, separation is normal.
2) Apply 2-4 coats.
3) Air dry or blow dry with a hair dryer for faster drying time!
4) Remove using vinegar on cotton pads. Best removed after washing hands in warm water.
What’s the big deal?
Every nail polish on the market is either formulated with microplastics or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Anew Material was founded to replace them with safe and biodegradable ingredients. After years of research testing over 1,000 formulations, we’ve developed a patent-pending formula that you can finally feel good about.
Can adults use it?
Yes! Depending on your nail chemistry and lifestyle, our nail polish lasts about 2 days. While this is fun for the kiddos, we understand that adults want a longer lasting nail polish. We’re continuing our scientific research to develop a (almost permanent!) nail polish for adults.
What is it made of?
Inspired by nature, our ingredients are derived from plant-based sources and designed to return back to earth. Our film-formers are made with mushroom biopolymers and small molecules from pine trees and rice bran to make them water-resistant.
