Piggy Paint Review

Happy Weekend, lovelies!

Hope you all are enjoying the weekend and taking some time out to relax and smell the roses. Today I have some cute polishes to show you by Piggy Paint.

I recently learned about Piggy Paint when researching non-toxic polish brands. Piggy Paint was created by Melanie Hurley, a mom of 2 young girls who like to have their nails painted. Melanie developed these products as a way to have non-toxic, environmentally friendly polishes that wouldn't contain any harmful chemicals. Piggy Paint is water-based and does not contain formaldehyde, toluene, or phthalate which are sometimes found in nail polish. More info and how to purchase Piggy Paint can be found here: www.piggypaint.com

These are the ones I received to review (from left to right): Sea-quin, Fairy Fabulous, PINKie Promise, and Muddles the Pig.

Piggy Paint also makes a base and top coat:

And a special polish remover which is free of acetone and is low odor. 

The remover has added vitamin e and aloe vera. I tried out the remover on regular polish and it works just as well on regular (non-gel) polish. 

When testing the products, I used their recommended base and top coats. The top coat helps smooth out the polish. 

The first colour I'll show you is Sea-quin, a light turquoise blue. It applied like a dream and dried fairly quickly. Sea-quin was opaque and smooth in 1 easy coat. This was my favourite of the bunch.

The next polish is Fairy Fabulous, a lilac purple with slightly pink undertones. This was also super easy to apply and was opaque in 1 coat. I used 2 with top coat in the swatch. I love how girly this purple is! 

PINKie Promise is a hot pink creme which took 2 coats for complete opacity. It was a little bit streaky when applying like other fluorescent polishes are but if you wait patiently when applying each layer to dry completely, it will be fine. The top coat also helps smooth it all out.

The last one up is Muddles the Pig, a light pink creme that was similar to PINKie Promise in that it took 2 coats for streak free opacity. I love this particular shade of pink.

Piggy Paint's website recommends using a hair dryer to dry and set the polish. Since they are water based, the air from the hair dryer will help evaporate the water faster so the polish will have a hard finish. I would recommend doing this between applying thin layers of polish. If the layers are too thick, the air may start to push and distort the smoothness of the polish. I would also recommend using a regular polish top coat if you want to protect the design longer. The polishes overall, apply easily and do not have a strong odor. I highly recommend this product for younger children and for people with sensitivities to scents.
