If you are looking for a great stocking stuffer this holiday season, you have GOT to get Piggy Paint and SOPHi nail polish for the girl/wife/mother/woman in your life!

SOPHi makes great nail polish for adults (especially pregnant mamas) because it is all natural and free of all the nasties!!

Piggy Paint is great as a kid’s stock stuffer - it’s a line of adorable super safe nail polish for kids that is made from the safest ingredients and come in the most fun colors! 

My daughter and I had such a fun "girl time" the other day when we decided to paint our nails together!! 

I absolutely love to do things like this with my daughter and make mother/daughter memories, but I love it even more because I know that I'm only allowing safe and non-toxic nail polish to go on my little girl's nails and absorbed into her body!

We loved the new colors of nail polish we received from Piggy Paint and SOPHi and we couldn't wait to try them out on our nails!

We had fun picking out what color we wanted on our fingernails and toenails! My daughter chose 2 colors for her nails and I chose the dark blue from SOPHi for my toenails!

The nail polish went on smoothly and looked shiny and beautiful! We also put on the primer + shine + sealer from SOPHi to make sure the color stayed on longer!

It was so much fun to take a break from life and have "girl time" with my favorite little girl! We love this time together and Piggy Paint and SOPHi make it possible with safe and natural nail polish!

NEW Non-Toxic SOPHi Nail Polish & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

My daughter LOVES painting her toenails and fingernails! She is getting so excited because next week she is the flower girl in a wedding and she can't wait to get her fingernails and toenails painted for it! It is a great bonding activity for mommy and her and she loves to look like "a big girl"!

My favorite brand of kids' nail polish (and the only one I use on my daughter!) is Piggy Paint! It is all natural, non-toxic, SAFE, eco-friendly nail polish for kids and the only one I trust on my precious daughter's nails!

But have you heard the GREAT NEWS???!! 

Piggy Paint has recently introduced their brand new line of nail polish for adults: SOPHi by Piggy Paint is non-toxic, odorless, hypoallergenic, vegan and cruelty-free, and it is proudly made in the USA. It is just like the Piggy Paint used by kids, but it comes in rich, SOPHisticated colors for women. (We LOVE using Piggy Paint and SOPHi together for mommy/daughter time!)

This line for adults allows health-conscious women to have a worry-free manicure with no smelly chemicals. Better than 3 Free, better than 5 Free, SOPHi is a natural nail polish that is non-toxic, odorless, and hypoallergenic. This advanced water-based formula provides a safer alternative to chemical-laden solvent-based polish.

To be honest, I liked using my daughter's Piggy Paint polishes before because I loved how safe they were for me too! But I AM SO HAPPY to have more sophisticated colors to choose from with SOPHi nail polishes!!

For maximum durability, SOPHi is also launching their PRIME + SHINE + SEAL System. This revolutionary Primer + Sealer in one is a must-have for chip resistance, and the Shine Topcoat offers additional scratch resistance. When applied with SOPHi's 4 step system (Prime + Color + Shine + Seal), this water-based formula easily competes with standard nail polish durability. Though this polish can be removed with any standard remover, SOPHi offers an acetone-free, low odor Remover Gel that stays in place on the nail for easy removal.

As if that is not enough, you can also count on SOPHi nail polish to not cause nails to yellow or become brittle. Being that it is virtually odorless, busy jet-setters can enjoy painting their nails on the run.

Best of all, it is proudly made in the U.S.A., is vegan and cruelty-free, and is non-flammable, and contains no formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), or ethyl acetate.

It doesn't get much better than that!!! They care about our country, they care about our health and they are about our little one's health!!!

Suncoat Natural Cosmetics & Nail Polish

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Are your kids nagging you to let them play with your makeup and nail polish?? My daughter is only TWO but already asks to be like mommy and put on makeup and paint her toenails!  I have never been keen on painting her toenails because of all the harmful chemicals in most nail polish...until I was introduced to Suncoat products.

Suncoat - Made from equal parts nature’s finest, innovative science and a dash of mother’s love, was founded by polymer and organic chemist Ying. When her daughter wanted to paint her nails pretty, she was put off by all the poison in the typical bottle of nail polish, so Ying took her scientific smarts to task and developed the first ever naturally formulated nail polish. They’re different; non-toxic, completely odourless, water-based and inflammable.

They also have a complete line for children: Suncoatgirl is the children’s line of nail polish, bursting with attitude and with none of the bad stuff! They are made with an additional feature ... they peel off easily, so no need for nail polish remover. Let your kids play!

My daughter received and LOVES the ‘Play Make-Up Kit’. And I love that it is non-toxic, naturally formulated, water-based, clean, non toxic, odourless, and inflammable!

Each kit contains:

• Two Suncoatgirl natural nail polishes
• one Baby Blue mineral eye shadow
• a cherry flavoured all natural lip shimmer
• and one sheet of nail decals.

My daughter used the nail polish and decals in a wedding this summer when she was the flower girl! She showed off her nails to EVERYONE and loved every minute of putting it on and wearing the polish!

There is also great products for mommy! I received:

Sugar-based Natural Liquid Eyeliner

Synthetic plastics, such as acrylic copolymer and PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer), are found in many popular brand liquid eyeliners. They are used mainly as the binding agent/film former in liquid eyeliner to glue pigments and fillers together so the eyeliner stays on your eyes. These synthetic plastics are derived from petrochemicals; contain residual monomers (the starting materials for producing plastics, namely acrylic monomers, vinyl pyrrolidone monomer and vinyl acetate monomer) that are not only toxic, but also reactive. Synthetic dyes, glycol, alcohol and chemical preservatives are also used in conventional liquid eyeliner formulations.

This natural liquid eyeliner is made with natural sugar-based biopolymer, not synthetic plastics such as PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer) and acrylic copolymer. Colored with earth pigments and enriched with vitamin E. A superior alternative for your sensitive eyes and our environment!

• Natural and vegan ingredients, readily biodegradable.
• Stays on all day long, will not smear or smudge.
• Kind to sensitive eyes.
• Remove with soap and water.
• The wand has a rubber tip instead of hairbrush, much easier to apply. It offers precise control for fine lines.

Duo Mineral Eye Shadow

I love the Duo mineral eye shadows with Eco-Cert organic bamboo silk, packaged in an eco-friendly, hand-made bamboo compact with a built in mirror. A bamboo handle brush is also included. Organic bamboo silk gives the eye shadow a silky smooth slip.

The eco-friendly bamboo compact is durable and reusable. To replace the color pan, lift from the magnetic base and insert a new one.

WHY BAMBOO: bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth! Its natural aesthetic beauty makes it an ideal material for sustainable packaging.

Natural Liquid Lip Colours in Perfect Plum

Discover this pure natural liquid lip colors. They are super-hydrating while adding shine and natural looking color to your lips. They contain meadow foam seed oil to help soften and condition the lips. Colored with mineral pigments and carmine. No nano particle sized pigments. They have a touch of sweet taste made from stevia, a natural sweetener. Enriched with vitamin E. Preservative-free.

Can be used on its own, or over lipstick, lip pencil. Packaged in a plastic tube with a sponge applicator.

Buy It: You can purchase all these products from the Suncoat website.

SNAILS Kids Nail Polish

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I was so excited to have a daughter after my son because deep down I wanted to do all the girly things with her: shopping, playing dress up, dressing her up in cute clothes and shoes, and painting her nails!

But then I learned about and researched all the harmful ingredients in mainstream finger nail polishes and the dream of painting our nails together died. I was so freaked out about the Dibutyle Phythalate (DBP), Toluene and Formaldehyde found in most nail polishes and the polish remover too!

I had to give up my dream of giving my daughter cute little toenails until I recently learned about a great company, SNAILS! They are the first French-made chemical-free kids nail polish and it all started when a mum of two scoured the market for safe non-toxic nail polish to colour up the imaginative play of her little ones. She quickly found that such a product just didn't exist — so SNAILS was born.

There are so many great features about SNAILS that made me really excited to try them out:

Revolutionary three-ingredient formula — containing just water, acrylic polymer and non-toxic colorants, SNAILS is safe in its simplicity.

Totally water soluble — SNAILS washes off easily with simple soap and water, making harsh solvent-based remover a thing of the past.< /p>

Environmentally friendly — from biodegradable packaging and lead-free bottles, to a strict no animal testing policy.

Hypoallergenic — SNAILS is purely chemical, Paraben and toxin free, so little nails are kept safe, sound and splendidly coloured.

Vivacious colour choices — every SNAILS polish delivers glorious high-quality gloss and deliciously gentle fragrance.

I love that not only can my daughter now have cute toenails, but it can be wiped off at any time with only water and soap! She can not have carefree child’s play without any harmful chemicals and toxins. She can mix and match and start over again at any time (and so can mommy!) :)

I also love that besides the safe colors that they have also thought about safe packaging! Their packages are lead-free and made from only pure Italian glass bottles and are custom designed for kids! They are cutely packaged with a little bow so it is so fun for any girl!

And best of all they are Stain free! I never have to worry as I paint my daughter's or my toes about spills and stains! And forget colourful blemishes on clothes, carpet or floors. SNAILS Kids nail polish is entirely soluble, so it will wash off easily. (My husband can now stop giving me the evil eye as I paint my toe nails while sitting on the carpet!) :)

I love the three colors I received for review: Mrs. Carrot Head (that is actually orange below in the first bottle - not pink as it looks!), Raspberry Pie, Prince Frog. They are all so fun and SO SAFE! We can mix and match and wash it off at any time!

With the increasing popularity of safe nail polish, these products are now sold in 30 countries and the list keeps growing. And you can rest assured as you paint away: Their revolutionary patented formula contains just three main ingredients: water, acrylic polymer and non-toxic colorants and is paraben free.

Playing dress-up can now be thoroughly enjoyed without compromise. SNAILS Kids is committed to preserving the innocence and joy of children everywhere. Their safe kids’ nail polish range brings a new level of safety for the entire family.

Buy It: You can purchase SNAILS Kids nail polish from the SNAILS website.
