The plurality of colors comprises water soluble nontoxic pigments, nontoxic pigments, nontoxic mica, and nontoxic nail glitter. The natural nail polish composition is safe to use among young children because the composition is completely nontoxic. Since the composition is nontoxic, any kind of complications that may happen due to the chemicals in the traditional nail polish are completely prevented. The natural nail polish composition has a unique method of applying and removing the product. The natural nail polish composition can be mixed with the lacquer or shellac type products and creates an alternative nail polish composition.
