Love this product. It does exactly what it says. Helps to dry polish and the shine is amazing.
I invested in this because, I’m sure one and all would agree, that stickies, marks, scratches etc in one’s nail polish is not all that attractive!!! While I agree this is a quick dry, in my experience, Scout polish - including base/top coat used as clear polish, (beautiful silicone-like protection for my nails) does not seem to last as well/long as it does when I simply use the base/top coat.
Hi Elisabeth,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this – and for investing in our polish range. I completely agree, dents and marks in fresh polish are so frustrating, so I’m glad to hear you’ve found the quick-dry aspect helpful.
I’m sorry to hear, though, that you’re not finding your manicure lasts as long when you use it compared to just our base/top coat. That’s not what we want for you. Wear time can sometimes be affected by how many layers are used and how thickly they’re applied, so one option is to use a slightly thinner layer of the quick-dry and make sure each coat underneath is fully dry before sealing.
We’d really love to help you get the best result from your products – if you’re open to it, please email us with what you’re using and your routine, and we can share some tailored tips or alternatives.
Thank you again for your honest feedback and for being part of our SCOUT community. 💛
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.
Breathable nail polish lasts and is chip and peel resistant.
It is a vegan and cruelty-free brand, meaning that its breathable nail polish does not contain any animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals.
The water permeable nail polish is formulated with natural and organic ingredients, which may be less irritating to sensitive skin.
SCOUT nail polish is packaged in recyclable bottles and boxes, making it eco-friendly.
Yes, SCOUT Australian nail polish comes in over 40 nail shades including reds, nudes, matte, cream and shimmer.
It’s easy,
1. Start by applying a layer of SCOUT base coat to clean and dry nails and allow them to dry.
2. Follow with your first coat of colour, remembering to swipe one side of the brush on the inside of the bottleneck to remove excess polish.
3. Allow to dry (a couple of minutes should do it) before applying a second coat for optimal coverage and vibrancy.
4. Once finished, apply a layer of the Super Dry & Shine topcoat for flawless and long lasting colour (Cuts drying time).
Absolutely, it can be removed with regular nail polish remover or water-based remover.
Yes, SCOUT breathable nail polish is formulated for natural nails but it can also be used on acrylic or gel nails.
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.
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.
