Products + Methods
How long does The Polisher last?
The Polisher will last 6 to 9 months depending on the frequency use and whether or not you use it on both your fingernails and toenails.
How long will the shine last?
We recommend that you grow your nails back to their ‘dull’ state before re-shining with the polisher. Depending on how fast your nails are growing, this is usually needed within a week to 2 weeks.
How do you clean The Polisher?
The Polisher should be cleaned with warm water and soap and dried with a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents on The Polisher.
Does the Dry Gloss Manicure thin the nail?
The nail plate has a few cell layers of extremely hard keratin. The Polisher removes this superficial layer to create the shine. To ensure that your nails retain their thickness, allow for them to grow back to dull before re-polishing. For nails of medium thickness, use the Polisher weekly. For those with thinner nails, this can be up to 4 weeks for the nail to grow out completely. Each person's nails are different, so this regrowth will be unique to you.
How is this different from a block buffer?
We’re glad you asked. The abrasive material of The Polisher is made with harder, more precise materials than the traditional “sandpaper” buffer. The Polisher is a one-step process.
Are the items in the kit refillable?
Replenishments are available for both the Polisher and the cuticle oil. The cuticle oil pens are manufactured as single use items so they are not designed for easy refilling. Refer to our blog story called “Are the Cuticle Oil pens refillable?” for more information.
Materials + Formulas
Are your products and packaging sustainable?
Many of our products, such as the pouch, are intended for use over a long period of time. All of the Bare Hands carton and packing materials are recyclable. The Polisher is made with more than one material and therefore cannot be recycled. However, unlike paint-based polishes, it does not need to be disposed of as toxic waste. Our sustainability mission is focused on reducing the ubiquitous use of toxic paints and solvents on a global scale.
Are your products Wudhu friendly or vegan?
All of the cuticle oils in our line are completely vegan. The balm in the pedicure kit contains beeswax, therefore is not vegan. Since none of the products contain paint, so they are all entirely Wudhu friendly, letting water pass freely through the nail.
Are your products Sulfate and Paraben Free?
All of our products are Sulfate and Paraben Free.
What material is The Polisher made of?
The base of The Polisher is glass. Fused to the glass is a blend of proprietary minerals.
Does The Cuticle Oil contain gluten, nuts or seeds?
All Cuticle Oils are gluten free. Please check ingredients for each scent variation— we use both and sesame and almond oil to formulate. Our Vitamin E oil is derived from 100% non-GMO sunflower seeds – no corn or soy – and are considered non-allergenic.
