High-quality nail polish not only provides longer-lasting results but also sets the stage for dazzling nail art. At NSI Australia, our HEMA-free nail polishes are made with top-notch ingredients for a chic and safe mani-pedi experience. HEMA, short for Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate, is an acrylic monomer used to produce different types of polymers, including those used in gel nail products. While HEMA itself isn't inherently harmful, it has the potential to induce irritation and trigger allergic reactions in certain individuals. By choosing our HEMA-free acrylic and gel nail polishes, you’re committing to gentler and more effective nail care.

FAQs

How do I choose the right nail polish colour for my skin tone

When choosing the right nail polish colour to complement your skin tone, consider the following:

• Fair skin — Go for neutrals, such as nudes, soft pinks and light beige tones. Cool tones like lavender and light blue work as well.
• Medium skin — For medium-skinned ladies, peachy and warm-toned corals, golds and oranges are perfect.
• Olive skin — If you have olive skin, deep reds, burgundy, and wine shades can be stunning choices. Warm neutrals like caramel and taupe can also be striking.
• Dark or tanned skin — Vibrant colours, such as emerald green, electric blue and neon orange, complement a deep tan.

Remember, these are just suggestions. Personal style and occasion should also guide your choice. Have fun experimenting with different shades until you find what suits you best!

What are the different types of nail polish finishes?

The most popular nail polish finishes include cream, matte, sheer, metallic, glitter, jelly, pearl, satin and holographic. Each type of finish imparts a distinct effect or texture. They can be used to craft intricate designs, textures and patterns to reflect your personal style.

How can I make my nail polish dry faster?

Applying a quick-dry clear top coat is one of the most effective ways to speed up the drying process. This product contains ingredients that allow the underlying polish to set and harden faster.

Additionally, clear nail polish forms a hard, protective layer, resulting in glossy, smudge-resistant manicures.

Using a brush, apply quick-dry clear nail polish starting from the base of the nail and moving towards the tip. Apply one to two coats until the nail is evenly covered.

Are NSI Australia’s nail polishes non-toxic?

Absolutely! Our products are HEMA-free, MMA-free and 11-toxin-free. We do not and never will test on animals. Your glamorous nails are our priority, and so is the well-being of our furry friends!

What are some tips for applying nail polish evenly and without streaks?

• The first step is to apply a quality base coat. This helps the polish adhere better and provides a smooth surface.
• Use light, even strokes to distribute the product evenly. Gently apply thin coats, as they dry faster and are less likely to result in streaks or smudges.
• Avoid overloading the brush and wipe off excess polish to prevent buildup and uneven application.
• Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next one.

What is the average shelf life of nail polish, and what’s the best way to store it?

Nail polish typically lasts for about two years from the date of opening. To preserve its quality and prevent it from drying out, store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight and keep it tightly closed at all times.
