Halal Nail Polish

At Picture Polish, we believe beauty shouldn't come with compromise. That's why we've created a vibrant, water-permeable range of halal nail polish in Australia that cater to your style and your values. Whether you're dressing up for an event or just love a splash of colour in your day, our breathable formulas keep things light and ethical but still totally you.

What makes a nail polish halal?

No animal ingredients

Halal nail polish should never include ingredients that come from animals. This rules out things like carmine (from beetles), shellac (from lac bugs), guanine (from fish scales) and animal-based keratin. At Picture Polish, our formulas are strictly vegan, so every bottle reflects cruelty-free and halal values.

Free from prohibited alcohols

Many conventional polishes use alcohols like ethanol or denatured alcohol, which aren't suitable in halal products. Our halal range avoids these, using approved alternatives that deliver a smooth, lasting finish without compromise. It's one more way we help simplify your beauty choices.

Water permeability

Water must be able to reach the nail surface during wudu (ritual washing) for polish to be considered halal. Our breathable formulas are water-permeable when rubbed, making them a thoughtful option for those who observe prayer and don't want to remove their polish every time.

Made in a certified halal facility

It's not just about what goes into the bottle — it's also about how it's made. All Picture Polish nail polishes are made in a certified halal facility that follows strict production standards. These protocols cover everything from sourcing to bottling, giving you full confidence in the final product.

FAQ’s

A collection of common questions that tend to be asked over and over.

What is the difference between halal nail polish and regular nail polish?

Halal nail polish is made to meet religious and ethical standards, including being water-permeable, alcohol-free and free from animal-derived ingredients. Regular nail polish may not follow these restrictions and usually forms a solid barrier over the nail. Halal formulas are also produced in certified facilities to ensure cleanliness and compliance with halal practices.

Is halal nail polish water permeable?

Yes, halal nail polish is designed to be water permeable when rubbed. This means water can pass through the polish and reach the nail surface, which is essential for religious practices like wudu. Independent lab tests are often used to confirm this breathable quality.

How does breathable nail polish work?

Halal breathable nail polish contains special polymers that create a microscopic structure, allowing water and air to pass through. This is different from traditional formulas that seal the nail completely. The result is a finish that looks and feels like regular polish but with added permeability.

How long does halal nail polish last?

Halal nail polish typically lasts five to seven days without chipping, depending on your nail prep and daily routine. Using a quality base and top coat can help extend wear time. While breathable formulas may be slightly less long-wearing than traditional gels, they are gentler on the nails and easier to remove.

Can I use regular nail polish remover with halal nail polish?

Yes, you can use regular nail polish remover with halal nail polish. It removes just like any standard polish and doesn’t require a special remover. However, acetone-free options are often recommended if you’re looking for something gentler on your nails and cuticles.

How should I store halal nail polish to keep it fresh?

Store halal nail polish in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Always make sure the cap is tightly closed after use to prevent the formula from thickening. Avoid storing it in the bathroom, where humidity can affect the consistency over time.
