My name is Melanie Hurley, founder of Piggy Paint. I am a stay-at-home mom with two very fancy little girls, ages 4 and 6, who love to have their fingernails painted. I’ve always hated the thought of my kiddos putting their hands in their mouths after I painted their nails with traditional kid polishes. Not only did the ingestion of the chemicals worry me, but the smell nearly left me light-headed after painting two sets of fingernails and toenails.
One day while we were painting nails over a foam plate, my daughter dropped a glob of her solvent-based polish onto the plate. Shortly after, the paint began to bubble and “ate” through the plate. I 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 (Click to see plate). From that day on, I decided that any flammable substance that could eat through foam was unacceptable for my children’s fingernails, which would inevitably end up in their mouths.
My quest was on, and Piggy Paint™ was born. As you may have guessed, our polish is NOT flammable and sits beautifully on the unaffected foam. We hope you enjoy this water-based polish that is specially formulated of natural ingredients. Finally, a kid-friendly polish without the accompanying drawbacks of traditional polishes. It is free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone… and made in the USA!
From my heart to yours, I hope Piggy Paint takes the worry out of painting your nails and puts the fun back into this enjoyable activity you can share with your daughter and other precious girls in your life

Oh my gosh! My girl LOVES nail polish! Her Grandma {nonna} does nails and it is Ava’s absolute favorite thing to go up to her shop and get her nails painted, followed by digging through all of her Nonna’s nail polish {lining them up along the edge of her table…cringe!} She usually ends up leaving with a color or two and she has started quite the collection of her own nail polishes in a little purse. I think she just might have more than I do! The only problem is, I have to really keep an eye on her with that bag. She is always trying to get in it and paint her nails. I was ecstatic to discover Piggy Paint! All natural nail polish specifically made for little ones! No smell, No toxins, natural as mud!!! We received one nail polish and one nail polish remover {made in the USA} from Piggy Paint. Ava was so happy when we opened the box and she saw PINK, FOREVER FANCY! Immediately her nails had to be painted. I was shocked {and thrilled} when I started painting her nails and there was no icky smell! The piggy paint went on so well and ,oh my, forever fancy is such a pretty pink! {i even had to paint my toenails with it!}. One coat was all I needed, I was so impressed with that. I can definitely see this nail polish replacing the ones she already has in her little nail polish purse! Piggy Paint would make an awesome gift for a girly girl, I have a few nieces that are sure to find some in their stockings this holiday season {is it too early to start talking holidays?!}! The nail polish remover is equally as wonderful! Hypoallergenic + low odor = LOVE! Piggy Paint even added vitamin E and aloe vera to  supplement the natural oils that protect nails and cuticles. I don’t think you could go wrong with Piggy Paint, they are such an amazing, eco friendly company with an equally wonderful product!
