I recently embarked on some research about nail polish as I find that when I spend an hour in the bathroom doing our nails, I get a pretty good headache by the end of it. Of course I have been aware of the harsh chemicals that are contained in many of the familiar brands, so I was on a mission to find odorless, environmentally friendly nail polish....is there such a thing?
YES! I was pleasantly surprised to find many options, although most are sold only online or limited retailers in Canada. Some are very thin, take several coats to get the color right and some come off with hot water...peel off, not so good if you paint them and then have a bath later that day...or do the dishes. I have definitely found a favorite!
PIGGY PAINT! It is water based and is environmentally friendly, it doesn't have any odor, comes in really cool colors and paints on much the same as regular nail polish and lasts comparable to my regular OPI or SH polishes. Yes this product was designed by a mom!! AND...if any of my dd or I or the cat spill a bottle, I can wipe it up with water, no damage to any counter or flooring. (I do recall spilling a bottle in my room when I was 10, cleaned it up, but the damage was done...only recently did my sister refinish the wood cabinet that I had nicely destroyed with nail polish and remover way back when..). I highly recommend this product, it does cost a bit more, but definitely worth it when you think about the damage that other brands can do to your nails, the environment, a small price to pay to keep the fun of summer toes colorful and happy! Check them out! So many cool colors and some great new "mom" colors too!
