BKIND 21-Toxin Free Nail Polish | Base Coat

Did You Know Most Nail Polish is Toxic? 
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but it's true. The majority of nail polishes are full of really bad stuff for your health and it's considered toxic waste. And gels... don't get me started. Many nail polishes also contain animal-derived ingredients. On the kinder side, BKIND provides a nail polish that's vegan, 77% plant-based, and 21-FREE... meaning it's free from 21 toxic ingredients found in traditional nail polish. It's a professional-grade polish that's easy to apply and dries quickly, giving you a long-lasting, luminous finish. So you can feel good knowing your nail polish is respecting animals, the environment, and yourself!

The majority of nail polishes on the market contain multiple toxic ingredients that can be harmful to health. Also, while this information is often not shared, many nail polishes unfortunately contain animal-derived ingredients. For example, cochineal insect pigment is sometimes used to make reds more vivid, or guanine crystals, from fish scales or chameleons, are used to add luster and shine in cosmetics.

2. Apply a thin coat of the BKIND Base. 
3. Allow the base to dry (about 3 minutes) before proceeding with color application. Apply 2 thin color coats, allowing each coat to dry (about 5 minutes) before proceeding to the next.

Pro Tips: Use it as a hardening treatment between your manicures. Apply twice a week (remove it between application). Your nails will be strong and revitalized! Brush over the edge of the nail bed left to right with both the base and topcoat. This is key in providing you with extended wear. Also, use a blow dryer to dry layers between coats.
