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.

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.

I think it’s so cute Piggy Paint has non toxic nail polish for children. They have every color imaginable and they have scented nail polish too. My granddaughter will be wearing Piggy Paint nail polish for years.

You definitely need the base coat/sealer and then the shine is really shiny! My red piggy paint nail polish lasted literally all summer month long through tons of walking, swimming, wearing flip flops everywhere. It was very low odor too which I loved!

I wasn't a believer when I added it to my cart. I don't like spending so much on nail polish, but safety is important to me. I was painting my toddler's nails with piggy paint, but it would come off so quickly. One bath and her nail polish was half off already. Then I found myself using her piggy paint for my own nails since I was expecting and didn't want to use my own nail polish. How frustrating to have it all chipped a mere several hours later. So I bought these and used them on my toenails. I applied the basecoat, then the piggy paint color of my choice, then the topcoat to my toenails a few weeks ago. I shower frequently and didn't expect a positive experience. Let me just say that all of the paint remained intact up until last night, at least three weeks after first applying, when I actually struggled to take it off my toes!!! I attempted to use the piggy paint nail polish remover, but it was taking foreverrr and hardly making a dent, so I switched over to real nail polish remover hoping to speed up the process and be done with it. No such luck. I really had to scrub at my nails to get the paint to come off. I can only attribute that to this product. Bottom line = this actually seems to prevent chipping Pro = see above Con = tough to take off nail polish

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.

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...

I bought this for my kids piggy paint but I also tried it for my nail polish. This works great for all polishes. I highly recommend.
