- Safe for all. With Toxic-free and Odour-free in check, the Waterbased nail formula is safe to enjoy by pregnant mothers and kids age 3+. We set an age limit for the same reason some toys are not suited for minorities to play without supervision. On formula aspect, it is safe for all.
- Convenient. All you need is warm water and a gentle peel to remove the nail colours.

Step-by-Step : Long-lasting, Beautiful Manicure with Waterbased Nail Colour
PREP. Start with clean, grease-free nails by wiping nails surface with a 75% alcohol soaked cotton pad.
1 COAT OF BASE. Apply one layer of 2-in-1 Base & Top Coat as a smoothing, nourishing base.
2-3 COATS OF COLOUR. Before use, shake the bottle gently in left and right motion to avoid bubbles. Apply in thin coats and let dry for at least 30s before applying the next layer of colour.
1 TOP COAT. Apply above thoroughly dried nail colour to give extra shine and colour protection.
Notes & Tips
- Minimise contact with warm water up to 6h after application for the coating to develop maximal hardness and adhesion onto the nail surface. (After a shower and before bed is an excellent time for a relaxing manicure!)
- Applying a base coat makes nail colour easier to peel off when you like to remove it. If you prefer the colours to stay longer on nails (i.e. less peelable), try skipping the base coat.
- Coating shine may diminish after 3-4 days of wear. Top up a layer of 2-in-1 Base & Top Coat as needed to replenish gloss.
How to Remove
- The nail coating develops maximum adhesion on the second day of use. To make removal easier, we suggest soaking hands in warm water for 3-5 minutes before peeling it off. (Alternatively, remove during or after a bath/shower)
- Peel the colour sheet gently and slowly from one corner, close to the edge of the cuticle.
