How to use it?
Step 1: Nourish Apply a small amount of Cuticle Rescue Oil with Camellia to clean, dry nails and cuticles. Gently massage in using circular motions to boost circulation and promote absorption. For best results, use morning and night, or whenever your cuticles feel dry or damaged.
For a spa-like experience, apply before bed and wear cotton gloves overnight to deeply nourish and hydrate. You can also use this oil after removing polish to restore moisture or as a prep step before your next manicure. Suitable for all nail types, including brittle or damaged nails.
Keep this in your handbag, desk drawer, or bedside table for on-the-go care.
Step 2: Strengthen Apply Smooth + Perfect Ridge Filler to bare nails. Clean and prep your nails to remove any natural oils. Apply two coats to each nail and allow a few minutes to dry. Follow with two coats of SCOUT colour. Can be used alone or as a base coat under polish.

Q & A
Ridges on your fingernails can be caused by the natural ageing process and any recent trauma to the nail bed can also show up as ridges. Sometimes if we are not eating properly or have an underlying health condition ridges may also occur, especially the horizontal type.
First of all, address your nutritional intake and make sure you are eating foods rich in protein, biotin, zinc and iron. Include leafy greens, lean meats, eggs, fatty fish and other essential vitamins and nutrients.
Keep nails hydrated by applying a nourishing cuticle oil and using a good quality hand cream.
Additionally, if you are troubled by horizontal ridges or are concerned in any way, a visit to a health professional maybe in order.
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.
A light buff won’t hurt but solidly buffing away at the ridges can cause your nail to thin out and in fact cause more damage.
Going back to basics and addressing any dietary imbalances by eating a balanced diet rich in skin and nail loving ingredients.
Filing isn’t a no no in our book but OVER filing is definitely NOT recommended. A light buff is ok as long as you are keeping your cuticles well-nourished and hydrated with a good cuticle oil and utilising the repairing benefits of a ridge filler.
A visit to a health care professional to check out any underlying health issues may be a good idea as well if the problem persists.
STOP aggressive filing and buffing. We are not saying NO to filing and a very very light buff just don’t go overboard and only sparingly.
Choose a gentle regime and keep both cuticles and nails nourished and hydrated during the healing process.
Over and aggressive filing and buffing can lead to more damage.

Vertical ridges on your nails are normal and more so as we age.
Horizontal ridges or any other major changes to your nail texture is something we recommend you get checked out.
It is a good idea to make an appointment to visit your healthcare professional.
The best treatment for ridged nails involves a few steps.
Start by making sure your diet is balanced and full of nail and skin loving ingredients. Stop over filing and buffing and take care of your cuticles.
Give them some love by keeping them nourished and hydrated.
If ridges persist despite all your best efforts make an appointment to visit your healthcare professional.

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.
SCOUT is the best water permeable nail polish in Australia and can be used in fingers and toe nails.
SCOUT is the best because it is an Australian made nail polish, safe to use, chip and peel resistant and comes in many classic and fashion trending colours.
SCOUT is ‘free from’ the same long list of chemicals quoted below by other Australian nail polish brands (about 10 - 20), some of which are not used in any nail polish. In old fashioned terms our nail polish would be described as chemical free. SCOUT polishes are infused with super foods, natural nail hardeners and beautiful camellia oil (a natural anti-fungal). No other Australian or Overseas brand has this. We also have a Quick drying topcoat in a green formulation.
We are cruelty free, vegan and GMO free.
