1. Start with clean, dry nails. A base coat is recommended for extra longevity. 2. Apply one even stroke down the center of the nail. 3. Apply a second stroke along each side. One coat is often enough for full opacity. 4. Allow 2-3 minutes to dry to the touch. 5. Apply a top coat for a high-shine finish and maximum protection. Wait 10 minutes before light activity. For best results, avoid hot water for 1-2 hours after application. Timeline Expectations: Day 1: Vibrant, glossy color with a smooth, even finish. Days 2-4: Polish maintains high shine and resists minor chips from daily tasks like typing or washing hands. Week 1+: Color stays true and vibrant. With proper application (base & top coat), wear of 5-7 days with minimal tip wear is commonly reported.

Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare science, this nail polish was created for those who want salon-level color without the salon-level commitment. Our labs saw that modern life—constant hand washing, typing, and stress—was leaving nails dull and polish chipped. So, we developed the Ethnic Color line, selecting pigments and a proprietary resin formula to lock in vibrancy against daily wear. Every batch is made in our GMP-certified Japanese facilities, undergoing 23 quality checks for consistency and safety. It's not just polish; it's a durable shield of color. This formula has become a top-ranked choice in Japan for its one-coat opacity and lasting power, trusted by users who need their manicure to keep up with their life.

Kose Nail Holic Ethnic Color Nail Polish - Vibrant Long-Lasting Finish is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to deliver both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. The base typically includes nitrocellulose, a film-forming agent that creates a durable, flexible coating on the nail, ensuring long-lasting wear and resistance to chipping. Solvents such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate are incorporated to facilitate smooth application and quick drying, allowing for an even, streak-free finish. Plasticizers like dibutyl phthalate or camphor are added to enhance flexibility, preventing the polish from becoming brittle and cracking over time. Pigments and mica provide the vibrant, ethnic-inspired colors and subtle shimmer, while silica or other fillers contribute to opacity and smooth texture. Additionally, ingredients such as tosylamide/formaldehyde resin may be included to improve adhesion and gloss retention. This combination not only offers a high-impact, fade-resistant color but also promotes user convenience through easy application and extended durability, making it suitable for everyday wear without frequent touch-ups.
