How many times has your mini-me tried on your stilettos? Well this time we are ditching the stilettos and we want to try on her shoes!

Chic Moms: Whats New -- Faves of the Week

Piggy Paint: Non Toxic, Odorless & Kid Friendly

We all know how our girls want to be just like their mommas; quite the fashionistas at such a young age. We also know how bad nail polish can smell and the many chemicals involved. What we didn't know is there is a great new nail polish in fun, vibrant colors for our fancy little ones.

Piggy Paint is:

• Non-toxic
• Low Odor
• Water-based formula
• Hypoallergenic
• Dries to a hard, durable finish

Piggy Paint™ is specially formulated from God’s natural ingredients and dries to a hard, durable finish. There are no toxic chemicals; it’s free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone.

And don't forget to get the Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover for many reasons:

• Low Odor
• Made from natural ingredients
• No Acetone
• Hypoallergenic
• Biodegradable

We found that the remover worked very quickly on all polishes, especially Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish. It is very safe and contains none of the solvents that could offend your nose or harm our atmosphere. Aloe Vera and Vitamin E are added to supplement the natural oils that protect little one’s nails and cuticles.

Melanie, the brains behind the beyond brilliant idea tells us to "say good-bye to harsh, smelly chemicals and hello to Piggy Paint™…it’s as Natural as Mud!" - We can agree with that!!!

Who else LOVES Piggy Paint: Tori Spelling!

Piggy Paint made its Hollywood debut on Saturday, June 6, 2009, at Stella McDermott’s first birthday party. Tori Spelling was ecstatic to discover this natural, eco-friendly kid nail polish and invited the small-town Piggy Paint girls from Missouri to paint nails at the celebration. Tori didn’t have to fret about harsh, smelly chemicals, as Stella’s nails sparkled with Piggy Paint’s Sometimes Sweet polish at her extravagant birthday bash. This bright red color was also a favorite for the guests who visited “Stella’s Salon”. Piggy Paint™ is available in 14 fun colors with adorable names like such as Mac N Cheese please, Dandelion Dance and Forever Fancy - you can't just have one. The odor free formula made it fun for the little ones to get mini-manis and pedis without holding their nose.
