Q & A
Australian made SCOUT Nova Flores natural toxic free breathable and water permeable nail polish is inspired by Australian native flora, complemented by cosmetic science.
SCOUT was one of the first brands to introduce water permeable nail polish in Australia.
A safe nail polish formulation is free from potentially harmful chemicals and toxins present in conventional nail polish brands, such as Formaldehyde, DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, Benzophenone or Parabens.
SCOUT is considered the best breathable nail polish in Australia because it is free from the potentially toxic ingredients found in traditional nail polish, allows the nail bed to breathe, it is chip resistant and durable.
Formulated to be breathable and water permeable, it allows water and air to penetrate the polish and reach the nail bed.
Our breathable nail polish is free from the potentially toxic ingredients found in traditional nail polish.
Traditional nail polish can trap moisture and bacteria underneath, potentially leading to nail damage or infection. Water permeable nail polish allows for proper ventilation, reducing the risk of such issues and promoting healthier nails.
Breathable nail polish lasts and is chip and peel resistant.
It is a vegan and cruelty-free brand, meaning that its breathable nail polish does not contain any animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals.
The water permeable nail polish is formulated with natural and organic ingredients, which may be less irritating to sensitive skin.
SCOUT nail polish is packaged in recyclable bottles and boxes, making it eco-friendly.
Yes, SCOUT Australian nail polish comes in over 40 nail shades including reds, nudes, matte, cream and shimmer.
It’s easy,
1. Start by applying a layer of SCOUT base coat to clean and dry nails and allow them to dry.
2. Follow with your first coat of colour, remembering to swipe one side of the brush on the inside of the bottleneck to remove excess polish.
3. Allow to dry (a couple of minutes should do it) before applying a second coat for optimal coverage and vibrancy.
4. Once finished, apply a layer of the Super Dry & Shine topcoat for flawless and long lasting colour (Cuts drying time).
Absolutely, it can be removed with regular nail polish remover or water-based remover.
Yes, SCOUT breathable nail polish is formulated for natural nails but it can also be used on acrylic or gel nails.
SCOUT nail polish ingredients may be found here.
The SCOUT top and base coat contains a natural nail hardener - Celery Seed Extract.
Research shows Celery Seed Extract (Apium graveolens) helps strengthen and smooth out your nails, eliminate discolouration and keep your nails chip free for longer.
Celery Seed works by encouraging the production of essential nail elements - keratins and ceramides which deliver an improved nail structure to reduce visible ridges and encourage improved nail thickness, hydration and hardness.
Like all our nail polish, they are infused with Broccoli Seed Extract rich in Vitamins A, B, K, E and containing up to 100 times the antioxidant compounds of a Broccoli head, assists in moisturising and hydrating the nails through outstanding water retaining properties.
Bamboo Isoflavones deliver impressive nutrients to the nail, boosting resiliency against chips and scratches, while providing long term shine and more vibrant polish colours.
The addition of Camellia Seed Oil (natural antifungal) nourishes and hydrates the skin and cuticles.
Please consult your doctor regarding the use of cosmetics and nail polish during pregnancy.
The Breathable and Water-Permeable nail polish is relatively quick (around the same time as any other regular polish) but it is recommended you use our Super Dry & Shine Top coat as this cuts drying time down to 15 mins.
SCOUT is the best water permeable nail polish in Australia and can be used in fingers and toe nails.
SCOUT is the best because it is an Australian made nail polish, safe to use, chip and peel resistant and comes in many classic and fashion trending colours.
SCOUT is ‘free from’ the same long list of chemicals quoted below by other Australian nail polish brands (about 10 - 20), some of which are not used in any nail polish. In old fashioned terms our nail polish would be described as chemical free. SCOUT polishes are infused with super foods, natural nail hardeners and beautiful camellia oil (a natural anti-fungal). No other Australian or Overseas brand has this. We also have a Quick drying topcoat in a green formulation.
We are cruelty free, vegan and GMO free.

- Questions
Love everything about this polish from colour, texture & rapid dry. COLOUR : it IS a true blue red. When I received the polish it looked a much deeper red. TEXTURE & RAPID DRY : this is 4/4 of Scout polishes & the 1st to be much less viscous & hence quicker drying than the other 3. 2 coats of Passion are thinner than 1 coat of the other polishes. MY 5th colour is en route. So EXCITED but hope its texture resembles Passion's. DURABILITY: as I have just painted my nails, watch this space but if it true to Scout quality, longevity is my expectation!
Love Unexpected Surprises!
I invested in Strawberry Fields Forever hoping it would be musk-like in colour - just what a girl needs for her pedi! To my ABSOLUTE surprise, it is more Iced Vo-Vo. So DELIGHTED - it's the delicate colour & gorgeous quality polish (for my health-comprised nails) I have long searched for!
THIS STUFF IS INCREDIBLE! I’ve switched everything in my life to organic so I was on the hunt for a good polish. I tried a different company before this and used their nail strengthened base and polish and my real nails started peeling at the tip so I decided to try this company and omg my nails are finally staying strong and even when I remove the polish the nails look so healthy. I work as a barista and do a lot of dish with water and so far this has helped protect my nails so much especially since I’m trying to grow them long naturally. I bought the ‘Eternal Flame’ for a colour and it is the most perfect deep red I’m absolutely obsessed and will probably use these nail polishes for the rest of my life.
