Product Review

While WaterColors Nail Enamel may look and act like traditional solvent-based polish, it does have its eccentricities. Most of our customers tell us they would rather have to do an extra step if necessary rather than use polishes which contain potentially toxic ingredients. Here are some special instances and ideas which can help you create the perfect manicure.
Dry Nails
We've found that individuals with dry skin and dry nails tend to have a more difficult time removing our polish. We recommend moisturizing the nails first. Rub a little cuticle oil into nails until the shininess disappears and the oil is absorbed into the nail. Remove the polish after one week of wear.
Cold Temperatures
Since our polish is water-based, it can thicken in cold temperatures. We recommend storing our polish at normal room temperature. If polish does thicken, add ONE drop of water to bottle and shake well. This should return the polish to normal consistency.
Length of Wear
If you find the polish isn't wearing as long as expected, the problem probably comes back to application. We recommend that you try to polish your nails at night. Though our polish is tack free in no time, it takes longer to cure at the molecular level. So the longer you give it to set up without exposure to water, etc., the better it will wear. That being said, everyone wears polish differently. How long the polish lasts on you also depends on your body chemistry, daily activities and environmental exposure.
Removal
We recommend you remove the polish at or before one week of wear the first time you use our polish. This product removes with rubbing alcohol, vodka/grain alcohol or our Nail Polish Remover. It may take a few swipes longer than you're used to, but the product will come off. People with dry, ridgy or porous nails may need to work at it a bit longer. Acetone-based removers will not work because this is not a solvent-based system.
