 Worth the extra time Aug 31, 2010
I learned about Acquarella nail polish on EWG site and am so thrilled with my purchase. The results have been healthier, stronger nails and a polish that just won't chip no matter what I do. I'm a rancher and my hands take a beating every day. I wear gloves to protect them and have found that the gloves do wear the polish off a bit, but I can just add another coat and they're beautiful again.
I gave this 5 stars because I love not having to tolerate the toxic smell of the other stuff and my nails look terrific. The only downside of it is the extra time for all the buffing and it does take a bit longer to remove it. I've read in the reviews that alcohol takes it off, but that also dries my nails out and the amazing thing about this product is that my nails look as good after I take the polish off as they did when I put it on.
I ordered Tickle Me and I'm not tickled about the brightness of the color after a 2nd or 3rd coat, it's more of a hot pink than the color sample shows, but I'll order more colors because I'm tickled to find a polish that's durable, healthy and pretty.
Performs same a the evil Ethyl Acetate polishes (maybe Better) Aug 31, 2010
I have never used green on my nails before, but I am so glad I took the risk. I love the color , 'Wicked'! And, I love that it is a water base safe polish. It went on smooth and easy (without the smell that clears a room). It stayed on for weeks until I had to remove it with the Acquarella nail polish remover. This process was a little more time consuming then the acetone nail polish remover but worth the little more effort (again no smell).

WOW! Aug 02, 2010
No really WOW!!!
So here's my story - was researching on Skin Deep/EWG for a healthy nail polish (currently breastfeeding and had gone "bare" all through pregnancy) because it's summer and I really want to have prettily polish toes at the very least! Hoping that there would be something ok...
Found this brand that was a "1" on EWG/Skin Deep which if you don't know is crazy great for chemicals!!!
Found this on here and decided what the heck - purchased Pomegranite (odd colour in bottle when I got it but goes on to be the true Pomegranite I had hoped.)
Pros:
1. Lasting for a few days on toes without any chips so far
2. Stays shiny (after 3 days so far)
3. Freakishly healthy (VERY low chemicals) for you!!!! (This should be #1...oops)
4. Comes off with alcohol (yes you read correctly!!!)
5. Dries quickly - which is supreme for me especially on my nails because I have a 9 mos old
Cons:
1. Perhaps a bit "thin" looking when you put it on? I don't mind that it doesn't have that salon manicure 4-5 layered thickness look.
2. Due to it's ease of alcohol removal - I am apprehensive of harsh/acidity of detergents, foods (lemon, vinegar). I have not had an issue, but I've have been making sure to wash the dishes with gloves and not eat salsa, lemons too much with my fingers.
As for the streaking that another reviewer reported, I have not had that issue what so ever (although that was some of my apprehension initially when purchasing). My thoughts are perhaps this may be the case depending on colour or your application???
I love it and plan of buying more colours.
Side note - I don't use the system the recommend, but then again my nails hadn't had any polish or service done to them in over a year - so that may be why I am able to go without buffing and conditioner??? I don't know, just thinking out loud and sharing.
Good luck! :)
Best non toxic nail polish Jul 20, 2010
I've been looking for a non toxic nail polish that holds and this is the one;-0)
Dries super quickly and stays on (even at the beach)
Just make sure you get their nail polish remover, the other ones don't work.

 Revised Review Jul 14, 2010
I'm not big on manicures, but I enjoy a pedicure and polish on my toes when I don my summer sandals. And as a cancer survivor, I love the idea of a nail polish without harmful chemicals and toxins, so I decided to give Acquarella a try. I purchased a bottle of clear conditioner, a bottle of Tickle Me pink and a bottle of remover, which was quite an expensive investment - I could have bought several colors of regular polish for what I spent to prepare my nails for one color of Acquarella. I buffed and cleaned my nails as instructed on the packaging, applied a base coat and then applied a coat of Tickle Me. The color in the bottle is a horrid Barbie Doll pink; on the nails, it is kind of a watery see through pink. I applied a second coat. It still looked watery and streaky. I've had it on for several days and it is holding up fine. No chipping or peeling. But the color and streaky looking coverage just isn't very pleasing to me. I guess you don't know how these things will turn out if you don't try them, but my personal opinion is that this was a waste of my money. I'll go back to regular polish and pass this along to my niece for her four year old daughter.
Revised Opinion: I later purchased another bottle of Aquarella polish in the color Aristo, which is a dark reddish pink color. I am very pleased with this shade. While I wouldn't recommend the color Tickle Me Pink, I give a thumbs up to the color Aristo. I took this with me when I had a professional pedicure and had the nail technician apply it and I like it a lot. I'd change the number of stars on my review from 3 to 5 if I could.
