Piggy Paint Review & Giveaway - CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. A WINNER WILL BE DRAWN SOON. THANKS!

I've never had a non-smelly nail polish or nail polish remover. It's just kind of part of the deal when it comes to nail color, right?

I have to be careful when painting my nails, or using anything with a smell around my house. My son, Hunter, has asthma so I try to be careful when painting my nails...I don't want to cause a flare up just so I can have pretty piggies and fingers.

I'm not much of a fingernail painter anyway. I'm a little OCD about chipped polish, it drives me crazy. LOL But I do paint my toes on a regular basis as they're easier to maintain than my fingernails.

I was recently asked to review Piggy Paint™. I've seen this polish on other blogs so I was pretty stoked to get to review for myself.

Piggy Paint™ is non-toxic, odorless and kid-friendly. No more smelling up the house when painting your nails, no more worry about your kids putting their hands in their mouth with painted nails.

I tired out Piggy Paint™ for myself. My daughter tried it out too and she loved the color. We were sent the Tea Party For Two. It's a pretty, vibrant blue with some glittery shimmer. Usually I'm not one for off the wall nail color...I stick to reds, pinks...and black. Yeah, black...that's why I figured I could give blue a shot.

And I like it! I like it a lot more than I thought I would.

When I first painted my nails I applied two coats and let it dry naturally. Within an hour I'd managed to smudge one of them and by the end of the day the one I had smudged had chipped really bad. I was a little disappointed.

But...

I remember reading on the card that was in the package and I remembered it said something about using your hair dryer.

Applying Piggy Paint!

* Wash hands with soap and water.
* Apply 2 -3 thin coats of Piggy Paint™.
* Air dry 60 seconds.
* Blow dry polished nails for 1 minute with hair dryer set on warm heat/low blower setting. For safety purposes, please follow manufacturer’s instructions on blow dryer and always monitor your child.

Ah ok! I've used my hair dryer for drying my nails before, but not very often and I'd never thought of it to prolong my nail color.

So, being the OCD nail person I am I decided to start all over again with all my nails. Give them all a fair shot. I was also sent the Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover. Non-smelly, non-toxic nail polish remover. It worked quickly and efficiently and I was repainting my nails in no time.

And now here we are a day and half later. No chips, no cracks in the polish...and I didn't add a topcoat like I usually do.

I love my funky blue polish and I especially like that it's safe for kids. I don't have to worry about my kids using it (yes, even my boys) and I don't have to worry about possibly causing asthma issues if I'm doing my nails around him.
