When using Suncoat Water-Based Nail Polish, make sure your nails are dry and free of grease, skin lotion, and dirt. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water, (oil and skin lotion repel water-based polish as this will significantly affect polish wearability).
Apply thin coats to avoid streaking. Brush on lightly and evenly. At least 2 coats, or more, are needed for a long lasting effect. Apply Suncoat Clear Top Coat for greater resistance to chipping (can last up to 2 or 3 days longer). Polish may look streaky when wet and just applied, but dries to a uniform colour.
Allow polish to dry between coats - 30 to 60 seconds, or more depending on humidity and temperature. Add 1 to 2 drops of water if polish is too thick and shake well before applying.
Do not expose nails to very hot water for long periods for the first few hours after application. Although completely dry to the touch, the polish is still curing (drying) throughout the day (or overnight if applied in the evening).
Some of the nail polish colours are not as intense as they look in the bottle. This is partly due to the fact natural mineral pigments are used to colour the nail polish. Just apply additional thin coats to bring out a more intense colour.
Store your polish indoors, in a cool and dry place. Do not leave polish in the car during very hot or very cold weather. Instead, store at ambient temperatures. Never allow polish to freeze!
Remove polish weekly with Suncoat Natural Nail Polish Remover. Dab the remover with a cotton ball or pad so that it is well-soaked, and wipe generously over nails. Allow 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 remove polish from all of your nails as the remover liquid evaporates slowly. Repeat as necessary. Wash hands with soap and water.

Removal without Suncoat Natural Nail Polish Remover

For weak or damaged nails we recommend using Suncoat Natural Nail Polish Remover.
Otherwise, soak nails in hot water for at least 2 minutes, and gently scrape off the polish using a flat-tipped wood stick or fingernails.
If polish has been on nails for more than 2 weeks, usually it is harder to take off with a water-based nail polish remover. Soak nails in hot water for 5 minutes, and then scrape polish off using a flat-tipped wood stick or fingernails.
