Mama Approved Safe Nail Color by Piggy Paint Review #piggypaint

As a mommy I'm often asked by my girls to paint their fingernails.  I have no problem doing this and actually really like painting their nails.  I have a problem with the fact that I want to paint mine too, but don't want to use the hot pink or green that my girls are using!  I prefer a bit more sophisticated look for myself.

I was very excited when I received the three mommy approved shades from Piggy Paint in the mail!   The first one I wanted to wear was the "red".  This one(featured on my nails below) is called How Merlot Can You Go.  Love it!  I do have to say that when I put on my polish I want it to last so I did use one coat of basecoat, two coats of the polish, and one coat of the topcoat.  The basecoat and topcoat were not included in this review but can be purchased at Wal-Mart, off the Piggy Paint website or even off my favorite coop Azure Standard!  I was really excited when I realized that Azure is now selling my favorite nail polish!

The other two shades I received are a sophisticated pink called Candy Coated.  It's not bright or bold but rather a subtle pink fit for a queen.  The last of the three shades is a deep purple.  This one is called Midnight Pansy.  I personally think they are pretty creative in their color names.  I'd just call them "deep purple" or something else less than cute!

Week old nail polish.

This is the wonderful red after being on my nails for an entire week!  Can you tell why I love this stuff?  I am one of those people that will pick and pick and peel the polish off once it starts to chip so I like to get the longest wearing polish I can.  I love that these Piggy Paint products are so wonderful and last for a long time on my nails.  I'm not the nicest to my nails so this is really something for me.  I do lots of laundry and dishes plus living on a farm really doesn't leave room for soft manicured looking hands.  My nails also stay fairly short so I'm not breaking them off!

Close up of the great Merlot color.  The only thing I found that seemed to dampen the color or take off any of the shine from these polishes was the acid from oranges.  I was helping the kids peel their oranges one day and realized that the two main fingers I was using to peel with had lost some of their topcoat.  So I simply added a new layer of topcoat and we were back to new color!

These shades of course are not just for mommies.  My oldest daughter is a lover of purple and has already tried to add my bottle of Midnight Pansy to her fingernail polish stash!  The next daughter is my lover of pink and she is claiming the Candy Coated as her own.  The Merlot is definitely my favorite which I find odd for me as I normally hate red fingernail polish.  This one however, meets with my whole hearted approval!

Piggy Paint Natural Nail Polish Review #piggypaint The Pitch List

My girls have always wanted to have their nails painted, but I've been loath to paint them.  I didn't want to put all those chemically polishes on their fingers and have to use an acetone nail polish remover to get them off.  Some of my girls still chew on their nails and I did NOT want them chewing on chemicals.

A bit about Piggy Paint.  It was the idea of a mom who sounds much like me about not wanting those nasty chemicals going into her kids mouths.  But she went one step further in that they put some of the regular kid safe polish on a foam plate(by accident it seems) and the polish ate through the plate!  She of course decided not to use that on her girls nails again and Piggy Paint was born.  It's a water based nail polish that is free of the major chemicals.  From their site "It is free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone... and made in the USA!"  Yeah for made in the USA!!  You can also find them on twitter, facebook, and pinterest.

Forever Fancy in pen form

You can imagine my joy when I found out about Piggy Paint, a non-toxic, odorless, kid friendly, all natural nail polish!  Yeah!  Before getting a chance to review their polishes I had not seen them in stores.  It seems that they are not widely carried yet, at least not in my area.

Angel Kisses, a paler pink

We were given a chance to review two different colors, Girls Rule and Angel Kisses, as well as a basecoat, topcoat, and a Piggy Paint Pen in the color Forever Fancy.  I painted my girls nails first, each girl got to pick their own color and I used the pen on the littlest twos nails. 

this is the basecoat

The pen was wonderful for little little nails!!!  It was so much easier than trying to stay on the nail with the brush.  It did feel a bit like I was coloring with a marker, but it didn't leave lines or streaks so I was okay with that.  I did not apply the base or top coat on their fingers.

the topcoat(the girls were amazed that it was white but went on clear)

The older three girls got the full treatment.  They chose a color and I painted each nail with a basecoat, color, and then a top coat.  When I was using the angel kisses we had to do two coats of polish as it is a lighter more see through color. 

Girls Rule(I actually almost like this color)

The sad part of this all was that my girl were too busy to sit for pictures so you will have to console yourself with pictures of my fingernails.  They chose my colors(please don't laugh).  They had me do an every other nail alternating colors plus use the pen on the tips.  Yes it is well um colorful.  And very girly!  I am a blues and greens type girl and they have me in shades of pink!

Doesn't this just look awesome!?  I loved how easy these were to put on and the fact that I didn't have to worry about my girls getting sick from the chemicals.  Would you like to try them?  Make sure to hop over to my GIVEAWAY and enter to win your own!
