This week we welcome Kester Black to our natural nail polish aisle at Shop Naturally. This Australian company make an incredibly stunning colour palette of rich, vibrant and subtle shades of nail polish to suit any outfit or event you need.  While officially advertised on their website as a 5-Free polish, which is free from Toluene, DBP, Camphor, Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde Resin, the formula is also free from Parabens and Xylene which does make it a 7-Free polish by our classifications.

With the manufacturing delays with our old Scotch Naturals water based nail polish (with no ETA), we wanted to bring you the safest, hardest working, best priced nail polish we could find and when we found out we could do it by supporting an Australian manufacturer at the same time, we were over the moon.

Before stocking Kester Black, we did purchase some sample colours and I got my warehouse manager (who also happens to be a nail polish junkie) to paint her nails and then proceed to unpack pallets of stock all day. Kester stood up to the rough treatment she gave her nails and we knew we were on to a winner. With 46 colours to choose from, we couldn't decide what to start with, so we just decided to order them ALL (see above). The range also has an almond cuticle oil, a fast dry top coat, a matte top coat (no need to buy matte nail polish, just swipe some of this over any glossy) and two different types of natural nail polish removers. There is a water based remover with no acetone or acetate and a 'Non-Acetone' remover which is still acetone free but does contain ethyl acetate. Choose between the two at your own discretion. We also have a nail polish thinner to resurrect old gluggy bottles, a French mani set, a nail care set and for those who are artistic, a Nail Art Handbook with a dotting tool.

Kester Black nail polish is a high shine polish that can be turned matte with the swipe of the matte top coat if desired. It wears just as well as major brands and has the best colour range we've seen in a really long time. The bottles are a generous 15ml and are square in shape so they're a little more difficult to tip offer than bottles that are rectangular shaped.
