It never occurred to me just how bad things can be for your body. After we made the decision to switch to organic it started to occur to me I needed to read labels for not only what we put in our bodies but what we put on it too! I love painting my nails and got so excited about getting to paint my daughters nails, the only thing is nail polish no matter what brand is horrible for your nails. Not only does it not let your nails breath but it has chemicals upon chemicals in it. Plus everyone with kids knows; what is on or in their hand will undoubtably end up in their mouth. I was so upset that I wasn't able to paint mine or my daughters nails.
My wonderful husband said he read about some polish called "Piggy Paint". I got so excited after checking out their site because it's a water-based polish that is specially formulated of natural ingredients. It is free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate, and acetone. Plus it is made in the USA!
So we placed the order for 2 of her favorite colors "Drama"(a super cute bright orange) & "Jazz it up"(a shimmery pink), plus a base-coat, and topcoat. I was more excited than she was.
I give the piggy paint a 5 out of 5 for the simple fact that it's water-based, natural, almost odorless, super easy to clean up, and made in the USA. It lasts a lot longer on my nails than regular polish use to and about 3-4 days on a very active toddler that likes to walk on her tippy toes. Not only does this polish not require coat after coat to get the vibrant color but it dries in minutes (that's a huge plus when you have an active child). I definitely recommend this brand to anyone looking for a safer more eco friendly alternative to your normal polish.
