The mom of two little girls who love to get their nails done, Piggy Paint founder Melanie Hurley always hated the thought of her children putting their hands in their mouths after she painted their nails with traditional solvent-based “kid” polishes. The result of her quest for a polish with no harsh chemicals, no foul odors, and nothing that might hurt the environment was Piggie Paint, which boasts the tagline “It’s as natural as mud.”

This water-based polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate, and acetone. “The hypoallergenic, odorless formula makes it gentle enough for sensitive hands and noses, yet it dries to a hard, durable finish that can easily be removed with Piggy Paint Polish Remover,” says Hurley. For use on your youngest clients or as a retail item, Piggy Paint is available in an array of fun, vibrant colors and adorable gift sets.
