Honeybee GardensWater-Based Nail Enamel, Wisteria, Matte Opaque Light Pastel Purple, Eco-Friendly, Odorless & Vibrant Polish, 0.5 fl oz

Pros: I've got several colors of this brand. The biggest plus to it is that the contents of the polish are as safe as you'll find on the market. The smell is pleasant and non chemical. It will remove with alcohol. Enough layers of the polish and I can peel it off if I have to. The colors really are gorgeous. The chemical list of commercial polish is unsettling, I put my fingers in my mouth sometimes, I don't want to risk eating any of it.It'll stay forever on my toes and that's generally what I keep painted all the time.If you are health conscious, it's a must have.Cons: Have to do touch ups daily on hands. I read somewhere that it's best to let it cure, meaning don't do the dishes right after painting it. So maybe paint at night before bed. I work as a painter, and use my hands alot around the house, so it doesn't last. I don't like haven't to fuss so much with my nails, so I generally only paint fingernails when I've got an event or something. It would drive me nuts to have to do touch ups all the time. So I've never kept polish on my hands because I've had that issue with both commercial and this brand.The clear coat of this brand is a good alternative for fingernails that have a heavy workload. After a week, it does yellow. Requires less maintenance on hands than the color, but still some maintenance ever 4-7 days.

This polish applies well and is gives a really nice colour. However! Even with or without the prime and seal, it chips and lifts off the edges within two days. The prime and seal makes it bubble no matter how long you wait. I've tried with and without the seal and it chips very quickly either way.Removal is a whole different nightmare. I tried using the gel removal method I use to get dip nails and gel polish off (wrapping nails in acetone and letting it sit) and even that didn't work. I then caved and baught the remover for this brand and that didn't work either. How can something chip so easily yet be so difficult to remove fully.I wish I loved this because the colour payoff is nice and it is odorless. But the two day manicure is just not worth the trouble, the nail damage from removal or money.

I've been wearing Honeybee Gardens watercolor nail polish for almost 10 years, after wearing regular nail polish was making my nails crack and discoloring them. My dermatologist said to stop wearing polish or switch to a water-based formula, so that's when I found this product. I typically prefer lighter polish colors because they require less touch-up, but on a whim I tried "Surf's Up" for the summer. It's very true to color. Two coats and it looks just like the color of the bottle. Just like the description says, there is no smell to the nail polish, which is awesome, and it dries just as fast as normal nail polish. As for wear, I find that on toenails the polish can last an entire month without much touch-up. Fingernails tend to need weekly touch-up. And make sure to follow the instructions on application -- it is water-based, so don't do dishes right after painting your nails. As for ease of removal, I've never had any issues removing the polish (I see some other reviews say it is more difficult than regular polish). I always use their remover when I want to change colors, but supposedly you can also remove it with rubbing or grain alcohol. Their remover is great; it smells a little like vinegar, but I don't mind that smell!

Love the quality and color. Unfortunately it does chip easily which stinks. But I am thrilled it does not smell awful like every other nail polish. When you compare it’s really shocking. My toes look good but my fingers chipped so quickly. I may have to try the clear polish on top to see if there’s a major difference in how quickly it chips. I still think it’s worth having for toes, but still questionable on finger nails. At the end of the day, thank you for creating a non toxic product!

It has an odor, just different odor than normal polish. The polish chipped off in less than 24hrs. I would not purchase again, or recommend, if you looking for something that lasts a while.

Great with SOPHI nail products base and top seal.About 4-5 days application duration which is enough for me anyways since I want to take it off after that.

The Fairy Dust color is not nearly as vibrant and pink as it looks in the bottle. It’s very pale. In some lighting you can see the iridescence, in other lighting it looks more frosted. Pictured is one coat after 3 days.I think these polishes are meant to be used as a whole system, but I didn't want to spend all that money, so I used Revlon Quick Dry base coat and Seche Vite top coat. You must use a good sticky base coat or this chips and flakes like crazy. Also it’s hard to remove with regular polish remover, but I have minimal issues with pure acetone.

I had a lousy experience with this product. Only a day after application I had polish peel right off two of my nails after scratching myself. This polish simply did not last. What a bummer! The color was so beautiful and it applied easily. I used a base coat and top coat and it just didn't stick to to the nails. I am so confused about reviews stating it was hard to remove. The polish removed easily off the other nails with a regular acetone remover. Keep in mind, I did not use the suggested base coat but really the polish should not have peeled off so easily. Boo!

You need a base coat otherwise it'll peel

I'm in love with that brand !Non-toxic and most important for me as a migraine sufferer: these nail polish are odorless.Very happy about that.

It doesn't have the bad smell like typical nail polish, and is removable using rubbing alcohol. But if you sniff closely, it just smells like acrylic paint so I guess that's the main ingredient to it beside of water. But I still like the consistency and colour they have of this nail polish. It drys pretty quick. And overall I would pick this over regular nail polish that spreads bad smell everytime applying and often smears before drying.

I love this polish. Goes on great for a non toxic polish and doesn't have a nasty smell to it like most.

doesn't smell, stays on for a week. have two of them.
