Change is never easy, honey and don’t we know it.

 

Congratulations! You’ve taken a bold step in the right direction. Scotch Naturals™ is the premiere non-toxic and eco-friendly alternative to “three-free” solvent-based polishes. Our polishes contain none of the chemicals found in typical nail polish. We are “3 Free” as well free of ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, nitrocellulose, acetone, and heavy metals. We are truly non-toxic. 

We believe you don’t have to sacrifice your health for beauty. Scotch is perfect for every woman, and safe enough for the beautiful mamas-to-be and our sisters faced with health challenges. 

We at Scotch Naturals™ celebrate your unique qualities, and you might notice we have some unique qualities as well. Because we are a completely non-toxic product, we do not use any chemical emulsifiers so with certain colors you may notice some separation. This is normal and not a quality issue. Turn the bottle upside down and gently roll it between your hands. Even after mixing, the color may still appear to be marbled. However, rest assured the polish will apply evenly. 

Patience is a virtue, and while some virtues are totally overrated, the change to a healthier beauty routine is a worthwhile process. Remember, just like Rome and the perfect butt, a healthy set of nails and the perfect non-toxic manicure weren’t built in a day. You’ll get there, and when you do, you’ll thank yourself for making the right choice. 

Cheers, darling. Welcome to the revolution.  See our product ratings at

Q: How do I get the best finish with Scotch Naturals™ WaterColors nail polish?

A: In order to achieve beautiful, healthy, salon-quality nails it is essential to prep them properly:

 

  1. Remove any existing nail polish and shape as usual.

  2. Add a drop of jojoba oil to each nail and buff gently.

  3. Wash hands with soap and water to rinse remover residue and buffing dust.

  4. Apply 1 coat of our fortifying base coat.

  5. Follow with 2 coats of polish allowing 1-3 minutes in between coats.

  6. Finish with our deluxe/top coat for a high gloss shine.

 

Please remember, this is a water-based nail product. While it dries to the touch in minutes, it needs a few hours to cure fully prior to prolonged exposure to water. We encourage painting tips and toes before bed, allowing polish to dry and adhere overnight.

Conventional “3-Free and 5-Free” polishes 

 

Many polishes claim to be safe and non-toxic, yet still contain harmful solvents and toxins. Most nail polish ingredients are known carcinogens, neurotoxins, organ and environmental toxins, and skin irritants. In short, conventional polishes are simply not safe or healthy. 

Recently with the emergence of 3-Free and 5-Free polish lines – which leave out 3 or 5 chemicals – consumers may feel they have safe alternatives. However, that’s merely a myth, since the chemicals in these polishes are often replaced with other chemicals that are equally as harmful. 

Conventional nail polishes are solvent-based – emitting VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which damage our health and our environment. 

Scotch Naturals is “Beyond Free” 
 

Scotch Naturals premium nail lacquers, on the other hand, are 100% toxin free, solvent free and chemical free. We are 100% free of all phthalates, parabens, solvents (ethyl acetate and butyl acetate), nitrocellulose, acetone and heavy metals. 

In contrast to other nail polishes, which yellow, dehydrate, and damage the nail and cuticles, Scotch Naturals are formulated to nourish and restore the health of your nails. 

Our polishes are odor free and do not emit VOCs – no need for costly ventilation systems in salons and spas. Even more important, Scotch Naturals are safe for women of all ages, including pregnant women and individuals with suppressed immune systems.
