Piggy Paints Review and Giveaway

piggy_paint_logo_lgPiggy Paint is one of the coolest kids products I have come across in a very long time!  My girls were thrilled to test it out! They had a blast and the colors were vibrant and pretty!

Piggy Paint is a safe nail polish choice for kids because it is all natural! There are no toxic chemicals!

After having the chance to use these safe polishes, I will continue to use them for my girls! I had no idea that a natural option like this existed!

  • Non-toxic
  • Odorless
  • Water-based formula
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Fun, vibrant colors
  • Dries to a hard, durable finish

What is NOT in Piggy Paints is formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone.

What IS in Piggy Paints is water, water-miscible acrylic resins and thickeners (well below 100 parts per million), glycol ethers. May contain mica, D&C red lake, ultramarine blue, iron and titanium oxide pigments.

Piggy Paints even offer a safe all natural nail polish remover!

  • Safe
  • Odorless
  • Made from natural ingredients
  • No Acetone
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Biodegradable

Get rid of harmful, nasty smelling polish removers for good and use Piggy PaintTM Nail Polish Remover, a remover that works quickly on all polishes, especially Piggy PaintTM Nail Polish.  The remover is safe to use and contains none of the solvents that could offend your nose or harm our atmosphere. Aloe Vera and Vitamin E are added to supplement the natural oils that protect little one’s nails and cuticles.

Piggy PaintTM Nail Polish Remover contains – Methyl alcohol, butyl diglycol, aloe vera extract, Vitamin E, embittering agent.learningtool

I never thought about painting nails being used as a learning tool! What a great idea!  Check out these ideas from the website (they have more on the site as well!).

Fine Motor Skills
Let your child paint your fingernails or toenails. If you’re worried about it looking (well, like a child painted your nails), opt for the toenails…you can always put socks on in public! This helps with her fine-motor skills and gives her a chance to exert her independence.

Color Names
Are you trying to teach your child color names? Paint her nails with the specific color you’re working on (such as red) and declare it a “Red Day”. All day long, point out objects in her environment that match her nails, and encourage her to do the same. Wear red clothes, add red foods to mealtime and use a bath color tablet to make her bath water red. Once she’s mastered that color, paint her piggies a new color.

piggyHow was Piggy Paint born?

Melanie Hurley, founder of Piggy PaintTM, is a stay-at-home mom with two little girls, ages 2 and 4, who love to have their fingernails painted.

One day while they were painting nails over a foam plate, her daughter dropped a glob of her solvent-based polish onto the plate. Shortly after, the paint began to bubble and “ate” through the plate! She looked in dismay at the hole in the plate and decided to test all of her other “kid” polishes on the foam. Within minutes, ALL of the solvent-based polishes began to bubble and eventually left big holes in the plate.
