    FAQ

    What is so special about Basic Inks breathable nail lacquer?

    Basic Ink nail lacquer gives the same wow-effect your regular nail lacquer does, yet it promotes the health of your nails instead of making them flake and break. Our carefully formulated nail lacquer is oxygenated and water permeable, which means that it allows oxygen and water to get to your nails and keep them strong and shiny. No more nasty chemicals in formulas, no more headaches from harsh odours – enjoy our 50+ shades and look your best while boosting the health of your nails!

    How does Basic Inks breathable nail lacquer let my nails breathe?

    We use a water-based formula to produce our nail lacquer, which enables oxygen to penetrate through the layer of lacquer and reach your nail to let it breathe. At the same time, your nails will always get that oh-so-necessary dose of water that will keep them hydrated and strong enough.

    Are water based nail lacquers just as effective and long lasting as Toluene and Formaldehyde containing polishes?

    Absolutely! Toluene & Formaldehyde containing nail polishes give off chemical fumes, pollute the air and have strong odours as well as being highly flammable.

    They cause harm to the nails making them yellow, brittle and weak and preventing any form of moisture reaching the nail bed.

    Although our nail lacquer is fully breathable there is no compromise on the longevity or colour quality and is durable enough to let you forget about doing a manicure for a week or so.

    I am vegan. Will your oxygenated nail lacquer work for me?

    Sure. Our breathable nail lacquer does not contain any animal-derived ingredients and is 100% cruelty-free.

    Are Basic inks nail lacquer Halal?

    Yes, all of our breathable nail lacquers are Halal and contain no alcohol or animal products.

    Are Basic Ink nail lacquers ablution friendly?

    This was one of the most important features considered when formulating our breathable range. Our formulation contains ingredients that absorb moisture and water. When performing ablution or washing hands water will penetrate through the lacquer onto the nail bed.

    How many coats of Basic Ink nail lacquer can I apply to ensure water permeability?

    Water permeability has been tested for 2 coats of the nail lacquer, whether you apply two coats of nail lacquer or one top coat and one coat of nail lacquer.

    Are your breathable nail lacquers odour/fragrance free?

    Yes, we do not use any synthetic fragrances in our lacquers, we use essential oil for fragrance in our cuticle oil only.
