Holiday Gift Guide-Piggy Paint Review & GIVEAWAY!

I absolutely love reviews and giveaways that involve my children. And this was the first girlie time that my daughter and I have had the chance to spend with one another. I can't get enough. I loved it. I love my little man, I love the cars and the roughhousing and the rib-breaking hugs, but I never knew how awesome it would feel to paint my daughter's nails.

I have avoided putting polish on her because of the risks. The chemicals in nail polish are not good for little girls that have their hands in their mouths all of the time. But that is why Piggy Paint is the best, and why they have given me a great opportunity to bond with my daughter. Piggy Paint is kid-friendly and non-toxic. In fact, they have received the Excellence Award from Safbaby.com, and now are an approved Vendor of Mom approved-child tested products! Not only that, but green mama's will LOVE the fact that they only use 100% recycled peanuts to ship their products!

My daughter will be one on Monday, so I thought it would be impossible to paint her nails while she squiggled and giggled. I thought I would have to do it while she was asleep. But my husband read the husband and told me it dried in 60 seconds (it turned out that it actually said to maximize chip resistance to blow dry for 1 minute-but I didn't know this until later.) So I painted her thumb and blew on it to see how long it would take. A minute tops, and she touched it and it was fine. So I painted her whole hand, then let her play, and then painted her other hand. It lasted for about a week, but she has her hands in her mouth so much and her nails are so little (and I didn't use the blow dryer) and then started chipping.

I got the cotton ball wet, and it took a total of about ten seconds to get the polish off. This time, I painted all of her nails all at once, one hand at a time. I held her hand while I blew on it. She wiggled a bit, and that is why there is some "out of the line" painting, but it dried quick enough that none of it smeared.

This is absolutely perfect for a little girl's stocking. Or for older girls! Just because they don't bite on their nails doesn't mean a lady doesn't like quick drying polish that is all-natural!
