Megan Miller Collection nail polish review

It's not cheap but I saw a deal from one of those deal sites so I caved in, especially that I've been on a polish kick lately (as in I haven't seen my bare nails in 3 weeks). I bought 6 colors; carribean, latte, pink lilly, roja, foxy, and ganache. In my opinion, there is nothing remarkable about the polish, except that the colors attracted me. The bottle is pretty with its cork top though.

I tried the foxy first. It's grey, and so happens to match exactly the gray leather on the steering wheel of my town and country van. The polish is too runny for my taste. It was completely transparent on the first coat. I had a good enough coverage on the second so I stopped there. I'm a mother of 4 young kids and I paint my nails on borrowed time. To top the polish I used Sally Hansen Anti-Chip Top Coat.

Next I tried the Caribbean. Again, it was too runny and thin. For this color I had to apply 3 coats.
The website does not have very many colors. The 6 I got was over half of their collection. They boast of rustic colors, which they are. They also say the line is free of some chemicals commonly found in drug-store nail polish, though. It's free of  DBP (Dibutyl Phtalate), Toluene and Formaldehyde.

Each nail polish will set you back $12. Yeah, they're expensive.



This is the Caribbean color.

non-toxic nail polish for kids

My 4 year old twins have been asking for their nails to be painted lately. Several months ago, after having been in their current preschool for a year, I found out that their teachers have been telling them apart based on their hairstyle. J has always loved two ponytails and K with only one. But the system stopped working when K decided she wanted her hair to be just like J. The preschool teachers said they could tell them apart, but not when their backs are turned.  Fair enough.  But this got me thinking of ways to differentiate my girls more, so I bought a purple and pink nail polish. The problem is, they're not safe, and they stink.

Today I decided to search online and discovered Piggy Paint, a non-toxic, hypoallergenic, water-based nail polish for kids. I ordered several so now all I have to do is wait. I will post my review in the coming weeks.
