As natural as mud; Piggy Paint

May 25th, 2009 BY Angelina Leigh | 2 Comments

I must admit, I am intrigued by funny names and therefore inclined without fail to ‘check out’ a particular item or product when it comes attached with a silly/cute/funny/out of the ordinary name. This week I found something really cute yet so practical to most of our lives that I decided I simply had to share.

You know how little girls always idolize their mothers and try to mimic as much of them as possible? How they look adoringly and enviously at mummy with her every effortless sweep of the blusher; secretly hoping with that twinkle in their eye that one day they too will be able to apply pink to the apples of their own cheek just like mummy just did?

Well truthfully I think I just described myself growing up but maybe it describes you too. And I’m sure my mother isn’t alone when her heart melted from the pitiful stares of my water welling eyes. She never had the heart to just leave me staring, but she was always careful to never quite entirely give in.  She was conscious about the effects of cosmetics and even on herself reserved the use for it to special occasions only. She was very concerned about how it would affect tender young skin like that of her 5 year old daughter. So just to please me, she’d always just ‘fake’ sweep some blusher over my cheeks (it was a clean brush). But when it came to applying nail polish, she always stood firm against me trying and of course I wasn’t a happy child to be declined. But today I thank her for it.

Which brings me to that cute product I had originally started this article with – Piggy Paint™! Designed with children in mind, Piggy Paint™ is a natural nail colour range that goes by the tag line “Natural as Mud”. Specially formulated from natural ingredients without any toxic chemicals (it’s free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone), Piggy Paint™ is a quality product safe for the use of your little ones.

Now even though Piggy Paint™ is water-based and does not contain harsh chemicals, it still dries into a vibrant, hard and durable finish. And to make things even better, there’s Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover to go with it.

Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover is non-toxic, safe to use, and contains none of the health and environment threatening solvents. Instead, they’ve added aloe vera and vitamin E to supplement the natural oils that protect your little one’s nails and cuticles.
