I invested in Strawberry Fields Forever hoping it would be musk-like in colour - just what a girl needs for her pedi! To my ABSOLUTE surprise, it is more Iced Vo-Vo. So DELIGHTED - it's the delicate colour & gorgeous quality polish (for my health-comprised nails) I have long searched for!
I love this product. Thank you!!!!
I also make herbal organic products and this product is beautiful
After reading so many positive reviews I decided to make one last attempt to try for presentable nails with this product. After using it on 2 occasions my nails basically disintegrated- they split, peeled and shattered. 6 months later they are only just starting to recover. Very disappointed.
Excellent product
Non streaky fast drying polish, goes on like gell.
No nasty smell and non drying of cuticles.
A must have for non toxic concious consumer.
The nail polish remover is also excellent. Highly recommend these products
Absolutely love this set. It’s the perfect range of pinks - gorgeous!
Very very happy with the nail polish and remover. I used the remover as instructed and had no problems. Applied nail polish as instructed and am very pleased with the results.
Used this polish and it was horribly strong smelling, streaky to put on and never set properly so it just came off
Beautiful colour, beautifully gentle on my nails and sensitive hands. First nail polished I've found in years with bright full colour that lasts without making my hands come out in dermatitis, no harsh chemicals, love it and bought more in different colours.
Great product! Easy on and easy off. Nails look healthy after use. Find it hard to select colours online though.
A treasured item, user friendly - easy to remove, covers cracks, chips when a 'top up' is necessary ... (a big plus) Ladies have asked me where I'd had my nails done!
I love the colours and the consistency of the polish …
Can't wait to try this colour on the nail. I have just started using these nail products and so far very impressed. It's only been 2 weeks and will do my nails today so it will be 3rd application. Girls this is a must have colour in your collection. I can't wait to try on the nail. I gave it a 4 star simply because I have not tried it on my nails but the colour is stunning. Well done with the colour range can't wait to add to my colour range. Thank youuuuu.
Another great colour haven't tried yet because I now do my nails once week which is great . I have only used these products for 2 weeks and second time using them. I give it a 4 star because I have not tried the colour yet on my nails.
This colour is beautiful and great neutral to add to your collection and the colour staying power is not bad at all
Great as a base and top coat. Gives your nails a great shine.
I must say I am pleasantly surprised after reading and purchasing these nail products. My nails feel stronger after 2 applications. The colours I have purchased so far are all one more beautiful than another. I can't wait to expand my nail colour collection and try the nail polish remover when it is back in stock . I would have purchased it with this order but it was out of stock. I can't wait to purchase and try it too. I'm also looking forward to purchasing the foundation and giving it a go for my mature skin after reading the reviews on it. May your business prosper. Blessings.
Good. Neutral colour
Love the colour. Easy to apply
Love this nail polish. So easy to use
I like the colours and the way this nail polish goes on, I’ve had lots of compliments about how they look :)
Amazing! My nails have never felt as strong as they do using SCOUT 🫶
Lovely colour. I will defiantly be ordering more products
Polish goes on well and the colours, 'you oughta know' and 'all apologies' are beautiful, a little bit of shimmer which I love.
I love scout products especially my nail polish. Knowing it is clean and doesn’t have the toxic chemicals in it makes me feel fantastic.
Colours are always the same as the online pictures.
While I don’t enjoy negative reviews, I write from my experience, rather than following any social herd. Totally underwhelmed. The colour (shake it) is nothing like I was led to believe I was purchasing, which was supposedly a deep berry red but, in actuality it is more a dark pink/ burgundy. The formula is like an old fashioned gluggy/stingy mess. Something you’d have brought in the 80s. Definitely a no from me.
I understood that fragrance free except essential oils’ would not be unpleasant. The smell however is horrible and as bad as conventional nail polish. Regret and will not purchase again.
Lovely colours exactly as pictured. The top and base coats are effective and I’m very happy with the natural nailpolish remover
I was so happy to discover the SCOUT brand of nail polish. Having bought Coogee Beach Nudes, I was surprised by how easy the polish was to apply. The layers of nail varnish have lasted for weeks but, perhaps more importantly, it has not dried out my nails. In the past other brands have caused my nails to split and break at the corner of the cuticle which has prevented me from having anything but short nails. But now my nails look positively beautiful and long!
Q & A
Australian made SCOUT Nova Flores natural toxic free breathable and water permeable nail polish is inspired by Australian native flora, complemented by cosmetic science.
SCOUT was one of the first brands to introduce water permeable nail polish in Australia.
A safe nail polish formulation is free from potentially harmful chemicals and toxins present in conventional nail polish brands, such as Formaldehyde, DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, Benzophenone or Parabens.
SCOUT is considered the best breathable nail polish in Australia because it is free from the potentially toxic ingredients found in traditional nail polish, allows the nail bed to breathe, it is chip resistant and durable.
Formulated to be breathable and water permeable, it allows water and air to penetrate the polish and reach the nail bed.
Our breathable nail polish is free from the potentially toxic ingredients found in traditional nail polish.
Traditional nail polish can trap moisture and bacteria underneath, potentially leading to nail damage or infection. Water permeable nail polish allows for proper ventilation, reducing the risk of such issues and promoting healthier nails.

The water permeable nail polish is formulated with natural and organic ingredients, which may be less irritating to sensitive skin.

SCOUT nail polish ingredients may be found here.
The SCOUT top and base coat contains a natural nail hardener - Celery Seed Extract.
Research shows Celery Seed Extract (Apium graveolens) helps strengthen and smooth out your nails, eliminate discolouration and keep your nails chip free for longer.
Celery Seed works by encouraging the production of essential nail elements - keratins and ceramides which deliver an improved nail structure to reduce visible ridges and encourage improved nail thickness, hydration and hardness.
Like all our nail polish, they are infused with Broccoli Seed Extract rich in Vitamins A, B, K, E and containing up to 100 times the antioxidant compounds of a Broccoli head, assists in moisturising and hydrating the nails through outstanding water retaining properties.
Bamboo Isoflavones deliver impressive nutrients to the nail, boosting resiliency against chips and scratches, while providing long term shine and more vibrant polish colours.
The addition of Camellia Seed Oil (natural antifungal) nourishes and hydrates the skin and cuticles.
Please consult your doctor regarding the use of cosmetics and nail polish during pregnancy.
The Breathable and Water-Permeable nail polish is relatively quick (around the same time as any other regular polish) but it is recommended you use our Super Dry & Shine Top coat as this cuts drying time down to 15 mins.
