How to Use

  1. Prep nails: Wash and dry hands. Apply cuticle oil if nails are dry; allow absorption.

  2. Apply primer/sealer: Apply a thin coat of Endure Primer/Sealer and let air dry.

  3. Apply color: Shake or swirl polish. Apply 1–2 thin coats of WaterColors Nail Enamel, allowing polish to dry between coats. Cover nail edges for longer wear.

  4. Optional shine: Add a clear coat if desired.

  5. Seal: Finish with a generous coat of Endure Primer/Sealer to lock in color. Use low heat from a hair dryer to speed drying if desired.

  6. Curing: Full hardening occurs in 4–6 hours; avoid prolonged water exposure during this time.

Removal: Use Honeybee Gardens Nail Polish Remover Gel (acetone-free) for gentle, effective removal. Buff nails lightly, apply gel, wait 30–60 seconds, and wipe with a cotton pad. Wash hands with mild soap afterward.

What makes this product different from traditional polish?

You already know it's water-based and free from harsh chemical odors but let's take that a step further. Without getting too technical, let's explore the fundamental differences between solvent-based and water-based systems. Solvent-based polishes are simple solutions of nitrocellulose resins in strong solvents. Nitrocellulose is used because it forms a very hard film easily as the solvents evaporate from the base. These harsh, bad-smelling solvents, are then also used to remove the polish by dissolving the film. By contrast, water-based polish uses an emulsion resin in the form of billions of very small particles suspended in water. As the water evaporates, the particles touch each other and form a hard film which is no longer soluble in water. Traditional polish cures by reversible solvent evaporation and is easily dissolved. Our formula cures by creating a tightly knit film and not easily dissolved.

Product exceptions

You may find this product is a bit more difficult to remove from toe nails, because toe nails are naturally more dry and have less natural oils. We do NOT recommend using our Endure Primer Sealer on your toe nails for this reason.

Long-lasting and Gorgeous

I have been using various water-based nail polishes for a couple months. Previously purchased the Wisteria from Amazon (also very pretty), but saw Tuscany here on the HoneyBee website. It's shiny, purplish-pink, like a seashell at its best. Even my fiance who rarely notices my nails said they look pretty. Somehow, it's not too flashy or gaudy. If you're choosing a color you can wear every day or for special occasion, this is the one. And it lasts and lasts. One tiny chip after a week on my dominant hand that gets more washing up scrubbing action.
