But no need to be shy... It goes on fingers too! And rather nicely!

Piggy Polish
L to R: Jingle, Holiday Sparkle, You Sleigh Me

These three (plus Sunshine on Snowflakes) are my only Piggy Polishes. They aren't exactly that easy to come by in my neck of the woods, nor have they really come out with anything that I felt was worth tracking down in my usual rabid manner. That is, with the obvious exception of the ones that I own. Apparently they are made for toes, but since I have RBL Frugalista on my toes and no sandblaster on hand, these bad girls are going on my hands.

(Just editing to add - its just a marketing ploy! There is NO difference between toenails and fingernails and there is no specific toes only polish. It goes anywhere. Just not in your mouth. (I'm sure it would taste gross)

Piggy Polish Jingle

Jingle is a Christmas Polish (all of my Piggies are), but I have no idea what year it was from. 2007? 2006? Sorry guys, NFI. But what I CAN tell you about it, is how much I freaking LOVE IT! My swatch above is three coats, and Jingle is a little on the sheer side. But once you get toa few layers, WOW. It practically glows on the nail. Lit from within gets thrown around a lot, but Piggy Polish know how to get that shit done! It's easily one of my favourite greens. A perfect emerald shade. I wish they still made it. I need a backup.

Holiday Sparkle was part of one of last years Christmas sets. It came in a duo pack with You Sleigh Me, which we will get to later. The polish has no name, which is a shame. I'm guessing its meant to be a gold version of Sunshine on Snowflakes, but I would have liked a name. Maybe Sleigh Bells? Something nice like that. I would assume from the formula that the polish was intended to be a top coat for You Sleigh Me. It's pretty sheer. The swatch above is four coats. I love the pale colour of the gold glitter in contrast to the larger bronze pieces. This is a very unique polish. I love it.

Finally, You Sleigh Me. This, ladies and gentlemen, is my new favourite red. The depth is nothing short of amazing. Not to mention that it also has the BEST name for a seasonal polish ever thought of. I bet Suzi got word of this polish and got super steamed that she didn't think up that awesome pun of a name herself. She would also be even more steamed because You Sleigh Me craps on all her reds from a great height. Oooh double burn, OPI. Swatch is 2 coats, went on smooth and easily. Much love.

Aaaand the moral of the story here kids, is that Kaz needs to pay more attention to Piggy Polish, most notably their seasonal offerings. You should too!

Edited to Add: Turns out the Gold is called Holiday Sparkle. Thanks Piggy Polish website!

That red is to DIE for!
I can honestly say that I have never wanted a polish as bad as I want that one right now.

holy crap, I LOVE the red and green!! Like, love. I actually WOWed at the red and the only time I've ever really liked a red was Ruby Pumps.

I know you said it's hard to find, but where did you get these? I live in Perth and am desperately hoping I can buy these somewhere..
