The non-acetone remover worked to remove it, too, so it wasn't that big of an issue. What I really didn't like was the consistency: it was such a thick goopy mess that refused to level out. I did try to thin it with a few drops of water to no avail. I might purchase the accompanying top coat to see if that helps the issue though, and write a follow up review some time. And I agree, that color chart can be misleading!Carmelahttp://polishedindulgence.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-26920863406421318372012-05-28T17:40:13.019-04:002012-05-28T17:40:13.019-04:00Thanks for the head's up, Heidi!

It looks like you tried the non-peel-off kind, so it would be best to remove it with their nail polish remover. The Polish & Peel kind can be peeled off after soaking nails in warm water. I just tried the non-peel-off formula in beige and it looks nothing like what it appeared to be on their website. Instead of a pale beige color it is a bright copper. I wish the color chart on their website was more accurate.Pretty Painted Nailshttp://twitter.com/SafePolishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-43387167978255488192011-11-08T14:35:34.895-05:002011-11-08T14:35:34.895-05:00Yes, I would be curious to see if their own top co...Yes, I would be curious to see if their own top coat would better smooth out the polish. Also really interested in how fast the top coat dries.

The idea is so good, I do wish it was better.<br /><br />You know, they do have their own top coat but I used my usual Nubar Diamont top coat so maybe that might change the game. I will have to try it and do a post to update anyone else who might be interested. :)Carmelahttp://polishedindulgence.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-43884167657636693112011-11-07T15:49:41.316-05:002011-11-07T15:49:41.316-05:00I've been so determined to make this work beca...I've been so determined to make this work because it would be such an amazing alternative! Unfortunately, I still haven't though. I might get another one just to see if the formula has gotten better or if the one I got was a dud.<br /><br />Imagine putting glue on your nails and then peeling it off. That's kind of what it was except it stuck so bad even after just a couple days of wear, hence the strange rubbery chunks. :)Carmelahttp://polishedindulgence.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-49709777571793443892011-11-07T10:31:28.274-05:002011-11-07T10:31:28.274-05:00I've never heard of Suncoat, and I've neve...I've never heard of Suncoat, and I've never tried any water-based polish, either, so it was great to read your review on Sienna and see your swatches, too.<br /><br />I do applaud Suncoat for even attempting to go the water-based polish route and the organic, vegan-friendly route. That's really pulling out all the stops, and it can't be easy. But in the end, the final result on the nail is what will be a deal maker or a deal breaker. Unfortunately, the ridges make it a deal breaker for me. My natural nails already have ridges, which typical polish already does a good job at hiding. If this one creates ridges of its own, I don't like that.<br /><br />Maybe they have (or will come out with) a nail treatment top coat that will smooth out the polish. Or maybe this ridge effect is just with this particular shade.<br /><br />Interesting to know that it came off with rubbery bits. I think I'd actually have more fun seeing that and removing the polish than painting with it! :PSwatch And Learnhttp://twitter.com/SwatchAndLearnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-46891043411781120612011-11-07T09:27:54.611-05:002011-11-07T09:27:54.611-05:00Wow.

I would probably forgo the troubling application for a strong-fumes polish ;)<br /><br />I would however sit in just to see the polish get removed in chunks (the curiosity in me finds this very intriguing ;) ) lol<br /><br />Thank you for teaching me about a formula that I have yet to try :DMartanoreply@blogger.com
