Key components and how they matter
- Butyl Acetate and Ethyl Acetate are solvents that help dissolve the color formula for smooth, even application and quick drying.
- Nitrocellulose forms a film that provides durability and glossy finish on nails.
- Ethyl Tosylamide contributes to a flexible film that resists cracking as the nails move.
- Isopropyl Alcohol aids in quick evaporation for efficient set and removal.
- Cellulose Acetate Butyrate adds structure to the polish film for lasting wear.
- Acetyl Tributyl Citrate acts as a plasticizer to help prevent chips and improve flow during application.
- Acrylates Copolymer provides adhesion to the nail surface for durable coverage.
- Adipic Acid / Neopentyl Glycol / Trimellitic Anhydride Copolymer contributes to film-forming properties and resilience of the top coat.
- Color-containing pigments may be present in related shades; this top coat is designed to work with them for a long-lasting finish.
- CI 60725 / Violet 2 may be present as a colorant in some batches; check packaging for exact listing.
Usage and who it’s for

- Can be removed with any acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover; no harsh soaking, scrubbing, or scraping needed.
- Patented swirl-stem and curve-hugging brush helps ensure even color coverage and precise application.
