Nail Polish Application
Clean your nails:
In preparation
for using Suncoat water-based nail polish, ensure that your nails are
dry and free of grease, skin lotion, and dirt. Clean your nails with
soap and water. Oil and skin lotion repel water-based polish, so they
may significantly affect the polish’s durability. No base coat needed:
as Suncoat water-based nail polish will not stain your nails. Apply
multi-thin coats for long lasting effect, and to avoid streaking. Brush
on lightly and evenly. Two coats, or more, are needed for a long-lasting
finish. Allow the polish to dry between coats - 30 seconds, or more,
depending on the humidity and temperature. Can add one or 2 drops of
water to the polish bottle if the polish is too thick. Shake well before
use. Adding too much water can cause color separation. Avoid soaking
your nails in hot water during the first couple of hours after the
application. Normal showering and dishwashing is usually fine after one
hour as long as the polish is not scratched. Ideally do not use very hot
water on your nails for the first 4 hours after application. Although
dry to the touch, the polish is still curing / drying throughout the day
(or overnight if applied in the evening).
Color Intensity:
Some
of the nail polish colors may not be as intense as they look in the
bottle. This is partly because earth pigments, instead of FD&S dyes,
are being used to color the nail polish. Apply a minimum of 2 thin
coats and then additional thin coats to strengthen the color.
Suncoat Water-based nail polish has been formulated to adhere well to
the nail bed. If left on nails for an extended time, it may require more
effort to remove. For easier removal, remove the polish weekly.
HOW TO REMOVE SUNCOAT WATER-BASED NAIL POLISH:
Remove polish weekly with Suncoat Nail Polish Remover.
Hold
the remover on your nails with a well-soaked cotton ball, allowing at
least 2 minutes for the remover to penetrate and soften the polish. Then
rub the nails until the polish is fully removed. One liberally soaked
cotton ball is usually enough to clean all your nails as the remover
liquid evaporates slowly. Repeat if necessary. Wash your hands with soap
and water.
Eco-friendly practices and kinder products sometimes require more time and greater patience.
Removal without Polish Remover:
We recommend using Suncoat Natural Nail Polish Remover especially for
weak or damaged nails. It is also possible to soak your nails in hot
water for at least 2 minutes (or following a hot bath or shower), and
gently scrape off the polish using your fingernails, or a flat tipped
wood stick. If the polish has been on your nails for more than two
weeks, it is usually hard to remove in which case allow your nails grow
out.
IMPORTANT
If your nails are weak and damaged, please consult your health care provider for advice.
