Really love the formula of the Picture Curable! It sits really nicely on the natural nails and is not thick like gel polish can sometimes look. It applies really smoothly and evenly. The removal was surprisingly easy – Ashleigh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently Asked Questions
What is vegan nail polish, and how is it different from standard nail paint for women?
Vegan nail polish is made without any animal-derived ingredients or by-products. It’s also not tested on animals. Standard nail paints may contain ingredients like carmine (a red pigment made from insects) or guanine (derived from fish scales), which vegan polishes leave out. With vegan options, you’re choosing a kinder polish for both animals and your nails.
Is vegan nail polish safe for kids and pregnant women?
Yes! Many vegan nail polishes (including ours) are also non-toxic, which makes them a great option for mums-to-be and little ones. Always double-check ingredient lists if you have specific concerns, but our formulas are crafted to skip the harsh chemicals.
Does vegan nail polish last as long as regular polish?
Definitely. Vegan polish can last just as long as standard polish when applied with a good base coat and top coat. The key to lasting colour is in the prep and care, no matter what polish you use.
How can I tell if nail polish is cruelty-free and vegan?
Look for brands that state both clearly on their labels or website. A polish can be cruelty-free (not tested on animals) but not vegan (still containing animal by-products), so it’s good to check for both.
Can non-toxic nail polish still be vibrant and glossy?
Absolutely. Non-toxic doesn’t mean dull! Our products are packed with rich pigments and leave a gorgeous glossy finish, just like you’d expect from your favourite nail polish colours.
Can non-toxic nail polish help prevent yellow or brittle nails?
Non-toxic polish can definitely be gentler on your nails, helping to reduce staining and brittleness over time. It’s also a great choice if you’re trying to give your nails a little extra care.
Is non-toxic nail polish suitable for people with allergies or sensitivities?
It can be a better choice for those with sensitivities, since it avoids harsh chemicals that can trigger reactions. But as always, if you have allergies, it’s best to do a patch test first or consult with your healthcare provider.
Can I use vegan nail polish with gel top coats?
Yes! You can layer vegan nail polish with many gel top coats for extra shine and staying power. Just be sure to follow curing and removal instructions if using gel.
How long should I wait between coats of polish?
Waiting 1 to 2 minutes between coats is usually just right. This helps the layers set nicely for a smoother, longer-lasting mani.
Is vegan nail polish suitable for use with nail art tools?
Absolutely. You can use vegan polish with all kinds of nail art tools — dotting tools, brushes, stickers — to create fun looks with your favourite colours.
How do I remove vegan nail polish?
Vegan nail polish is removed just like any other polish — with your favourite non-acetone or acetone remover and a few gentle swipes. No extra steps needed.
How long should I let my nails rest between manis?
It’s a good idea to give your nails a break every 1 to 2 weeks, even just for a few days. This helps maintain strong, happy nails in the long run.
