What should I do to prepare my nails before
putting on the polish?
Simply clean your nails with polish remover or soap
and water. Healthy nails naturally produce a mixture
of oils and proteins, which serve to protect,
beautify and enhance their appearance. Normal nail
polishes remove these substances from the nail,
requiring the user to prepare their nails with other
products. However, since Go Natural Nail Polish is a
waterborne polish, it does not remove the oils so
your nails remain strong and healthy.
How long will it take for my nails to dry?
Aqua Glam dries to a tack-free state nearly as fast
as regular polish. We recommend you use multiple
thin coats since they will dry faster than one thick
coat. Apply the second coat after 45-60 seconds and
the third coat in 60-90 seconds. If your hands are
cold, the temperature is cool, or there is high
humidity in the area, it may take longer for the
coats to dry.
A good way to know that the polish is ready is by a
cool sensation on your nails from the evaporation of
the water in the polish.
When is it safe to wash my hands without
disrupting the polish?
Hands can be used for normal activities including
submersion in cold water after approximately 15 to
20 minutes without harming the polish. The polish
will withstand washing and shampooing in hot soapy
water after an hour or so.
When is it safe to garden and do other hand
activities without scratching the polish?
Since Aqua Glam Polish does not use harsh chemicals,
it will take approximately 4 to 6 hours for ultimate
hardness to be reached. Thus, one should avoid
activites, which could scratch the surface for
several (4-6) hours. We recommend you apply
the polish in the evening so it will be strong
enough for most activities the next morning.
When will my nail polish wear off?
Short nails for active women might begin to show
slight wear at the tips in approximately 2 to 3 days
but, in general, if care is exercised in the first
several hours the polish can last for 4 to 5 days.
Can I touch up my nails if I scratch them?
Yes. Because the films are indeed quite thin unless
multiple coats are applied, worn areas at the tips
and even scratches and chips can be touched-up to
re-create a nearly new appearance, adding a day or
two to the effective durability. And because the
polish is odorless and dries quickly, this is easy
to do anywhere, anytime.
How hard is it to remove the polish? Do I
need nail polish remover?
The polish can be removed within 1-4 days with Aqua
Glam Polish Remover or rubbing alcohol. However,
afterwards, the polish becomes increasingly more
difficult to remove particularly for dry, porous
nails or toenails. At about 5-6 days a nail polish
remover will be necessary. Removing polish
from toenails can be a little more difficult.
Soaking with a cotton ball helps.
Why does my nail
polish look milky? Is it still safe to use?
Some of the polishes may have a milky
appearance that will disappear upon drying.
The polish is still fine to use and will
appear vibrant on your nails.
What
should I do if there is separation in the
nail polish?
Although separation is very minor,
occasionally a light ring of color will
appear at the top of the bottle. Simply
shake the bottle to mix the polish.
Is
there anything toxic in the nail polish?
No. There are no toxic chemicals. The resins
are polyacrylic and polyurethane latexes
with residual monomers well below 100 parts
per million. The only co-solvent is a
diglycol ether. All colorants are
FDA-certified for cosmetic use.
