Suncoat Mineral Nail Polish in Beige

The latest additions to my nail polish collection are two mineral nail polishes from Suncoat. The one shown above is the non-peel-off water based formula in Beige. I also bought one of their peel-off polishes in Mulberry, which I will try next.

This was the fifth brand of water based nail polish that I have tried and not my favorite. I got both the colored polish and the top coat, but even with the top coat my manicure did not last as long as I would have liked. It is awesome that the Suncoat polish has no smell, but there are other brands that last much longer which are also odor free.

The beige color is okay, but not what I was expecting. Sometimes I order a polish not caring too much what the color is. I wonder why others get so bent out of shape that the color is a shade lighter or darker than expected. This time I was trying to order a particular color. I wanted a pale nude color that matched my skin. The descriptions and color chart on the Suncoat website are horrible. Many of the polishes look quite different than expected, as I found from reading other reviews. Too bad I read them after I got my polish. The beige color ended up being a dark metallic copper color. I wonder what the polish they call Copper looks like!

Removing the polish was not a pleasant experience. It came off after 25 minutes, which isn't bad for a water based polish. However, the Suncoat remover smelled awful! One reason I prefer water based polish over conventional polish is the lack of smell. This remover ruined that. I'm looking forward to trying the Suncoat peel-off polish, since it does not require remover.
