SUNCOAT COSMETICS NON TOXIC NAIL ART POLISH REVIEW

It was pretty exciting to find a nail art set that was all natural.  If you are familiar with natural nail polishes, you know that it's rare to come across an all natural nail art set. It was wonderful to know that there was a natural alternative for women who enjoy doing creative designs.




Suncoat Cosmetics is a Canadian company that sells all natural makeup.  Suncoat cosmetics makes three different nail art sets which come in a variety of colors.  The set that is being reviewed here is called "Earth."  The earth set consists of a white, orange, pink and mint green.  They are mineral based nail polishes and the size of the bottles are 0.26 oz each.  This nail art set did NOT deliver.  When applying the brush to nails, you'll find that the colors are extremely sheer.  The white hardly shows and it is more of a pearly, sheer, ivory color.  When trying to create french tips, the white polish in this package was not able to create a nice white line.  Even after piling on coat after coat, the line still did not appear in full effect.  The color which was believed to be orange was actually a mustard yellow tint.  It was not pretty. The green color resembled dull green clay.




What was even worse was the fact that the colors dried out after a couple of months.  After opening the green and white polishes, the polishes had thickened to no end.  The polish just would not even cling to the brush.  This set turned out to be a waste of $20.  You can get a close up view of the consistency that it turned into below.  This is not like other natural polishes (that will not be named here) that last even after a year.


One other problem about the nail art set is the brush applicator.  The brush applicator needs to be much thicker.  The applicator is just to light and thin to create designs even while with a steady hand.  I'd advise Suncoat to try to formulate colors that aren't as sheer as these are.  Designs created with nail art applicators are meant to stand out.  They aren't supposed to appear as bland or bleak in comparison to the main nail color.  I love the fact that these are natural and mineral based but the colors and brush applicator need some adjustments.

The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs.

5 Natural Ingredients For Longevity

The path of aging can be viewed as a bothersome, inevitable part of life to some.  Those invested in the journey  often look to various methods of biohacking as a way to lengthen what can be considered a short life  span.  The average life  expectancy for women is 80 years old and 74 years old for men.  Living to 100  years old may seem inconceivable but the reality is that there are individuals living past 100 years old.   According to the Pew Research Center, our global world is home to 722,000 centenarians most of whom  live in Asian countries such as Japan and China (Schaeffer, 2024).   The number of centenarians currently living is expected to quadruple  over the next 30 years.

As scientific  discoveries continue to be made and longevity focused breakthroughs are attained, humans will live longer and more intelligently.   What are ...
