I was on the lookout for non-toxic nail polish last year and chanced upon a promotion by one of the members posting on an online forum. I snagged "Say Say Oh Playmate" for $15 and the nail polish remover for $13. She was selling them in a variety of colours but only this colour from the kids range appealed to me, with its vibrant colour. Well, it turned out to be slightly different from the actual colour, as what you see on the second shot.
Hopscotch products are touted to be Vegan, Cruelty-free, Gluten Free, Fragrance Free, Toxin Free, Paraben Free, Hypoallergenic and Biodegradable.
This is my very first non-toxic nail polish and I was wary of its application and lasting power. I don't apply nail polish that regularly and I am not that adept with it. I just want something that is simple to use and remove. Expecting it to be purple colour, it turned out to be more red than purple.
The application was tough for me. The texture was very runny so each coat was so sheer and requires 3 coats to reach the opacity I like. And because its so runny, it tends to leave globs easily on my nailbeds. I would think that it may be easily rectified by those who apply nail polish on a regular basis. I have yet to learn how to control the flow of the runny texture. The end result is a glossy look.
I really like that its kind to the body, without any harmful nasties. Great for children and pregnant ladies. Unfortunately, the nail polish barely last more than a day, before it starts to chip. For the record, I did not apply any base coat or top coat.

Product Description
Hopscotch Kids revolutionary soy polish remover has been formulated to remove both water-based and solvent-based nail polishes safely and naturally without stripping the nails of natural oils.
For easiest removal, soak nails in warm water for a few minutes. Pre-moisten all nails with remover allowing time for polish to soften. Then moisten cotton pad and rub across nail to remove. You can also remove any remaining polish using an orange stick. After removal, thoroughly rinse nails.
This was even tougher to use. I literally rub and rub on my nails and the nail polish hardly move a budge, yet foams started to appear like detergent suds. Things started to get slightly easier after pre-moistening the nails with remover first, though the conventional remover type is still easier to use. I should try soaking my nails in warm water next time. You can also use your fingernails to scratch on them and peel it off. Its quite fun too. :)
The polish remover made my hands drying, although less drying than using the conventional nail polish remover.
methyl soyate, dimethyl adipate, dimethyl glutarate
Update ( 30th November 2018 ) :
The nail polish has dried up. I hardly used it though. Guess it really drives home the point that Hopscotch Kids is truly non-toxic because other nail polishes of the mainstream brands still holds well.
