Review: Kapa Nui Nails is a non-toxic
We love a pretty manicure, but it is hard to justify using chemical-laden polishes. So we were delighted to find a line of natural and lovely polish shades.
They are safe for everyone: kids, pregnant women, even persons with cancer. And when paired with their special Base and Top Coat Sealer, these colors stay on until you take them off, even with constant hand washing. Meet Kapa Nui Nails.
Kapa Nui Nails are a safe alternative nail range inspired by the vibrant shades of Hawaiian beaches.

Base & Top Coat Sealer
The sealer is key to a long-lasting, high-performance manicure. This dual functioning layer provides tight adhesion of your color layer as a Base Coat and as a Top Coat Sealer, gives your color longer life with 2 to 3 times more chip resistance.
For a long-lasting, gel manicure look, apply Base & Top Coat Sealer in thin layers and let set for 60 seconds before applying 1-2 coats of color. Seal with a final top coat.
There is no odor.
