Piggy Paint | Girls Nail Polish | Cruelty-free, Vegan, & Low Odor for Kids | Make It Last (Basecoat + Shine Topcoat Set)

I thought I would leave my review with some tips on this Piggy Paint item since you're probably seeking to make things last longer than a couple days with this one. I have found that using this set, I can get my manicure to last a week and pedicure to last two to three weeks without chipping. It generally looks and lasts better than my other premium polishes. In fact, it is almost a pain to take off compared to the others!1. Buff smooth and use the base coat. I've found it is hard to get off so sometimes I just use regular base coat/nail conditioner for convenience. Any bumps will show as the polish dries unlike enamel which can really glop on and almost self-smooth.2. To get a smooth finish, use less paint. This polish doesn't self-level like enamels so do not not use too much. Once you get used to painting with less polish, it goes on smoothly just like the regular stuff. Think more coats, thinner coats.3. Love, love the topcoat. It is super strong, use two coats. Very shiny, rivals my others but lasts longer.4. Keep the nails short - like regular polish longer nails leads to more pressure and chips.5. Make sure the paint is shaken thoroughly before use. The pigment doesn't suspend the same as with enamels so make sure it is mixed well. On the plus side, it also doesn't suspend air bubbles like enamels do.6. Use a hair dryer, like they say, or do it before bed so it has time to cure. I have done this but also been too busy to do it and it still lasts nicely.I've found the Piggy Paints with some sparkle go on more smoothly, e.g. All that Razz and Sometimes Sweet. I'm really impressed with the quality of these paints. I wash my hands at least two dozen times a day with a toddler. This stuff really lasts, and like I said - it is tough to get off!Edit: I wanted to add this about chips - I do sometimes get chips after a couple days on my pointer fingers. Piggy Paint fills chips better than regular since it isn't gloppy like enamel. Just spot fix on the chip, let dry and do a clear topcoat. Looks like new every time unlike when I try to fix chips with enamel.

If you have independent kids this is the paint for you! It’s easy to clean up and works great. And it’s not terrible for them.

I am a guy who wears clear nail polish, which is basically a base coat with a top coat with no color in between the coats. I wanted a nail polish that would have a nice perfect shine with no smell and no peeling.I was skeptical to buy this product, because it is water based. This product does not have a nail polish smell at all, but has a super low odor of its own.I put it on and it dries fast and it does not require a UV light, in fact I returned my UV lamp, now I don't have to worry about damaging my skin!The shine is perfect, it leaves a straight vertical gloss on your nails and the shine does not mattify over time and my polish did not peel off at all yet and it has been a week! Also, my nails feel like they came out of a dishwasher!These are the only nail polish coats I will use for the rest of my life! There is no way I could ever use any other nail polish in my life, because all of them either have a dangerous nail polish smell, or the odorless ones are absolutely horrible.

I started using piggy paint on my daughter because she is special needs and it is hard to get her to let me to paint her nails! She sticks her hands in her mouth also also so I wanted to find something non toxic! I love that it will wash off if you spill it. I do recommend the base coat and the top coat because it does not last long as regular polish does.

My little daughter got interested in nail polishes and I could not offer her the smelly toxic ones. Piggy paint is among the few non toxic natural options that are on the market if you want to avoid those regular brands. I bought her a set of piggy paint nail polish and based on the reviews that were saying that it does not last a long time on its own I added the make it last set to my order as well.For those who want to know the ingredients: The base coat ( clear one) is methoxy propanol which is an alcohol derivative. It is hard to call it as natural as mud ( what it says on the tube) since it is a documented irritant but at least, if not swallowed it does not cause long term health effects.The top coat ( milk colored one) is a solution containing TRIMETHYL HYDROXYPENTYL ISOBUTYRATE ( considered as safe by Environmental Working Group: EWG), aqua, polyethylene ( also safe according to EWG) and neem oil ( a sort of vegetable oil(So I think it is pretty harmless for a cosmetic product and I feel safe applying it on my daughters little finger nails.However, the problem is that it does not do any good in terms of making it last. I applied two sets of base coat and three sets of the nail polish, followed by another two sets of top coat with adequate waiting times in between. After all this hassle and using these pretty expensive products the result was that it started getting chipped within 36 hours and three days later a few of the nails were totally blank. 6 days later it was almost impossible to say that these nails were polished at all.So in my book, this is a non satisfactory result. I was expecting this nail polish to under-perform anyways but I was happy to accept it for the sake of its natural ingredients. However, I can not accept the under-performance of this additional 'make it last' product. If you can not make it last longer, which obviously is the case, then don't just sell it...

Very happy with this purchase. I bought these for my daughters 2nd birthday. The light pink is a very modest, nice colour. The hot pink has a bit of a shimmer to it, and is nice and bright. One coat is a little streaky, but a young child won't care, and it comes off easily, no remover needed. If you add two or three coats, it lasts longer, and you get better coverage. I find the light pink under the hot pink brightens up the colour quite nicely. It dries very quickly, even my squirmy toddler didn't move fast enough to smudge it, and it's not fumey like regular polish, it kind of smells like acrylic craft paint.

My daughter loves this paint! An addded bonus is It’s safe for kids.

OMG!I bought the colour to test first, before investing on base and top coat.The skin allergies I developed overnight are severe. I can't even hold a bottle of nail varnish without my whole face flaring up and being completely swollen.So I tested a pink colour fisrt to make sure I didn't have an allergic reaction before investing on this duo as they are not cheap.And voila! No allergy.And yes. The colour without the base and top coat chips away within hours.I tested this on Tuesday night (today is Thursday) and it is brilliant!No chips yet, and no allergy.This has really changed my life as I thought I would never be able to wear nail varnish again.Piggy Paint has an "adult" line called sophi which is also brilliant. Same formula, adult colours!

Really like it. The base coat has slight odour but doesn't even look like anything is on your nails when dry. The top coat is odourless, great for sealing foils. I used it with mirror powder on my nails and it didn't mess up.

my girls love nail polish, and I love the fact that if they bite it off and eat it it isn't toxic. It doesn't stay very long, but neither does any other nail varnish to be honest
