Melanie Hurley is a stay-at-home mom with two girly-girls, ages 2 and 4. Melanie’s cherished daughters are like most little girls who love to have mommy paint their fingernails and toenails so they can be beautiful, too! But, as often happens when one becomes a parent, the more Melanie prettied up her girls’ nails with fresh coats of polish, the more apparent the fumes became to her. She bought various brands of polishes that were supposedly safer to use on children but to no avail~the fumes practically made her dizzy after applying two coats of polish on 20 little fingernails and toenails.

Typically during these polishing sessions, Melanie would use a disposable foam plate to protect the table from possible drips. Inevitably one day a glob of polish dripped onto the plate. Shortly thereafter she noticed the polish began to bubble. She picked up the plate and the solvent-based kids polish had eaten a hole right through the plate!

That was her AHA moment! She vowed that any flammable substance that could eat through anything was completely unacceptable not only for her children’s nails but for her nails, too! And, Piggy Paint was born…a truly harmless product that can be used over and over without worry or concern for your child’s safety. Piggy Paint is a water-based polish with all natural ingredients completely free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone.

Melanie reinforces her philosophy with this sweet thought, From my heart to yours, I hope Piggy Paint takes the worry out of painting your little one’s nails and puts the fun back into this enjoyable activity you can share with your daughter and other precious girls in your life.
