I think it's safe to say that the entire McDermott family loves to add a little spice to their style with manicures and pedicures. Even Hattie doesn't let her tiny nails prevent her from rocking some fabulously chic nail polish! Ever since I gave Hattie her first pedicure, I've become obsessed with Piggy Paint - an eco-friendly, non-toxic nail polish (they say that it's as natural as mud!) It can be so hard to find products that are pretty but also good for your body and the environment, and Piggy Paint has hit a real bull's eye here!
Piggy Paint was started by Melanie Hurley, a mom with two little girls who love nothing more than having pretty polish on their fingers. However, she hated the thought of her little ones putting their fingers in their mouth after having manicures with the traditional, toxin-filled nail polishes. She also couldn't stand the smell, which I think is a mutual feeling amongst all of us mamas and probably anybody with a normal and sane scent tolerance. After an accidental polish spill revealed just how dangerous regular nail polishes can be, Melanie decided to take matters into her own hands and create non-flammable, water-based polishes made with natural ingredients. And so Piggy Paint was born! All of the Piggy Paint polishes are free of acetone, formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, and ethyl acetate. Another bonus is that they are made right here in the USA!
As a mama who wants nothing but the best for her little ones, I think that what Melanie has done is beyond admirable. With that said, I'm very excited to give you the chance to win a nail polish set! I'll give three lucky ediTORIal readers a Princess Piggy Package, which includes 15 Piggy Paint Polish and 2 polish removers:

Love,

Hi Tori. First I want to say I'm a huge fan. I also wanted to share my experience with Piggy Paint. As a mom of an 8 year old diva who still sucks her thumb, I was excited to learn about this non-toxic product. I ordered the Pretty Please Piggy Paint package and was also able to take advantage of their cyber Monday sale. I was assisted by a wonderful rep named Stacy, who not only allowed me to customize my package, but still extended the cyber deal. I received my package and one of the bottles must have broken in the delivery process. No big deal! I called to get things corrected and had the misfortune to deal with a very nasty rep (Nikki). When I explained what happened her response was "that has never happened before" in the nastiest tone and explained that I would need to send pictures before she could move forward. No apologies, no nothing. Her tone was almost accusatory. After snapping a few pics and attaching them (it took me a minute to get the email through) Nikki received the email. She says she's sending out another package. I then receive an email from Nikki asking me to "stop sending her emails of the pics because the file is big and she has already responded to me once". Now, after I got over the initial shock, I emailed Niki back and explained the email would not go through because of the size at first and yahoo must still be attempting to deliver the emails that failed. I only wish I could contact Melanie herself and let her know how her company is being run. I will definitely not be a return customer. -

Hi Tori,
My girls and I LOVE piggy paint also! I bought my daughter her 1st piggy paint last year for her 6th birthday. I feel silly saying this but it's all I use now for myself also. Our favorite is GIRLS RULE!
Take care!

Hi Tori,
Ohhhhh....I SO hope I'm not too late in responding :( I was having the hardest time logging in from my iphone. My girls are 3 1/2 years old and 14 months. I asked my 3yr old what color she prefered and she replied "mommy I like all the colors" :) She LOVES painting her nails like rainbows! She really likes each nail to be a different color so we'd have to say ALL of them!!! She is "always" wanting her nails and toes painted! It's SO fun to do that with her too. She and her new neighbor friend enjoy painting eachother's nails too :-P The baby however, would love anything her sister does :) I haven't painted her nails yet but I SO would with the peace of mind the piggy paint gives me :) "Thank You" for considering my little girls! I hope and pray your family is well! :)

My three year old, Hartley, loves Seaquin and Girls Rule! She loves having each fingernail painted a different color. She also loves when I paint her nails with one of the colors and then I do polka dots with the other color on top. And seriously there is nothing cuter thatn those little pudgy baby feet with painted nails! I love that I don't worry about putting Piggy Paint on either of my babies!

My almost 3 year old daughter LOVES having her nails painted just like Mummy, every time I bring out the nail polish, she says "Mummy, I have my nails done too?". I would love to try Piggy Paint as I hate the idea of using normal polish on my daughter =/
My favourite colour out of the pack would have to be Sea-Quin or Fairy Fabulous!

I'm a 28-yr-old Stage 3 Rectal Cancer survivor so my 6-yr-old niece would go crazy over "Tea Party for Two" royal blue, which happens to be the color of the Colorectal Cancer Ribbon! She LOVES to have pretty fingers & toes but doesn't have as much love for the "waiting to dry" period so, usually it takes us a good 2 go 'rounds to get it just right & then she rocks it! :)
