Honeybee Gardens Water-Based Nail Polish Clear - Gentle & Odorless Formula Nail Polish for Adults, Vegan Nail Enamel with Glossy Finish, Clear Water Colors for Natural Shine, Nail Care, 0.5 fl oz

I purchased this product and used only the color coat and it flaked off within 24 hours. I then decide to purchase the primer/sealer to see if that would help with the issue. I applied the primer/sealer then the color coat then the primer/sealer. It has lasted 5 days so far without even a chip. ABSOLUTELY purchase the primer/sealer along with the color if you want to use this product. I also purchased the remover and love it. It took off the remaining polish without a harsh smell. Picture is after 5 days of wear.

This polish applies well and is gives a really nice colour. However! Even with or without the prime and seal, it chips and lifts off the edges within two days. The prime and seal makes it bubble no matter how long you wait. I've tried with and without the seal and it chips very quickly either way. Removal is a whole different nightmare. I tried using the gel removal method I use to get dip nails and gel polish off (wrapping nails in acetone and letting it sit) and even that didn't work. I then caved and baught the remover for this brand and that didn't work either. How can something chip so easily yet be so difficult to remove fully. I wish I loved this because the colour payoff is nice and it is odorless. But the two day manicure is just not worth the trouble, the nail damage from removal or money.

I've been wearing Honeybee Gardens watercolor nail polish for almost 10 years, after wearing regular nail polish was making my nails crack and discoloring them. My dermatologist said to stop wearing polish or switch to a water-based formula, so that's when I found this product. I typically prefer lighter polish colors because they require less touch-up, but on a whim I tried "Surf's Up" for the summer. It's very true to color. Two coats and it looks just like the color of the bottle. Just like the description says, there is no smell to the nail polish, which is awesome, and it dries just as fast as normal nail polish. As for wear, I find that on toenails the polish can last an entire month without much touch-up. Fingernails tend to need weekly touch-up. And make sure to follow the instructions on application -- it is water-based, so don't do dishes right after painting your nails. As for ease of removal, I've never had any issues removing the polish (I see some other reviews say it is more difficult than regular polish). I always use their remover when I want to change colors, but supposedly you can also remove it with rubbing or grain alcohol. Their remover is great; it smells a little like vinegar, but I don't mind that smell!

Pretty color, however, started to chip off within a day or two. The worst part, though is that this stuff just does not come off. Not with their remover, regular polish remover, alcohol. I will need to scrape it off.

Pros: I've got several colors of this brand. The biggest plus to it is that the contents of the polish are as safe as you'll find on the market. The smell is pleasant and non chemical. It will remove with alcohol. Enough layers of the polish and I can peel it off if I have to. The colors really are gorgeous. The chemical list of commercial polish is unsettling, I put my fingers in my mouth sometimes, I don't want to risk eating any of it. It'll stay forever on my toes and that's generally what I keep painted all the time. If you are health conscious, it's a must have. Cons: Have to do touch ups daily on hands. I read somewhere that it's best to let it cure, meaning don't do the dishes right after painting it. So maybe paint at night before bed. I work as a painter, and use my hands alot around the house, so it doesn't last. I don't like haven't to fuss so much with my nails, so I generally only paint fingernails when I've got an event or something. It would drive me nuts to have to do touch ups all the time. So I've never kept polish on my hands because I've had that issue with both commercial and this brand. The clear coat of this brand is a good alternative for fingernails that have a heavy workload. After a week, it does yellow. Requires less maintenance on hands than the color, but still some maintenance ever 4-7 days.

I really like this nail polish. I like knowing it has good ingredients. Pretty color. Stayed on toes for weeks without chipping and no top coat. Fingernails would need a top coat since the polish chips easier but it's fine for a thin coat without a top coat if just going out for the evening and not long term. It goes on easily, lightweight, smooth.

I couldn't be more impressed and happy with this nail polish! After trying other brands like Karma and Dr's remedy which claim to be non-toxic, yet have the most atrocious odor that lingers for days, I am thrilled to find this nail polish that basically has zero odor. I can do my polish indoors without any heavy duty mask that I have to use with the others and there's no smell at all within an hour. Really the smell is non-existent it's just there is going to be a slight smell (mainly with the Endure) but nothing that is bothersome to me and I am super sensitive. When I prepare my nails properly and use the Honeybee Gardens Endure primer/sealer this polish lasts so long. I've done dishes, daily yard work, all sorts of tasks with my hands and after 2 weeks the polish is just now starting to peel a bit. I do need to use dr's remedy stronger nail polish remover to remove it. I haven't tried Honeybee Gardens gel remover that they recommend to use when using the Endure primer/sealer as it is specifically formulated to remove the strong bond the Endure Primer/Sealer creates, but I will try it and update my review. I thought I was going to only be able to use this polish when I go out and it would last perhaps a day or two. That was not at all the case. This is an amazing polish with no odor and if you prepare your nails according to the instructions on their website and use the Endure primer/sealer, it should last a long time according to my experience. Thank you, thank you Honeybee Gardens for creating a truly non-toxic odor free polish that I can use and not have to endure such toxic odors to have my nails polished which I truly enjoy keeping my nails polished.

I love translucent natural colors and thought this would be a great alternative to more opaque polishes. This stuff does NOT stay on your nails. I get it’s water based and odorless (lies) but it just peels off less than an hour later. Yes I used a base coat AND a top coat and it just peeled at the tips of my nails and came right off. Do not recommend.

I was pretty excited to try this product and when I opened the package, I was very disappointed. I think this was used! The product is caked in the threads of the bottle and there is dried polish on the bottle. This is going back!

Doesn't really have any colour, but gives a nice shine to nails. Odorless and dry quick.

Die Lieferung kam schnell. Der Nagellack hält, was er verspricht - stinkt nicht, deckt sehr schön und hält gut. Bin sehr froh, endlich ein solches Produkt gefunden zu haben.

Sono anni che compro solo smalto di questa marca perché è l'unico smalto completamente atossico che abbia un risultato esteticamente bello e garantisca una lunga durata (a me dura anche più di una settimana). Si stende facilmente e si uniforma subito, è iper pigmentato e rimane bello lucido anche senza top coat. Colore esattamente come in foto, perfetto sia per le occasioni eleganti che per un look dark. Super consigliato!

Does not last long on the nail :(
