One we have in stock is the UC-50.  It works beneath any  home or office sink to filter up to 25,000 gallons of cold water on demand! Using a combination of patented trace minerals (Copper-Zinc) which has been tested to NSF standard 42 and 61, and coconut shell carbon. This system like our in-line and other systems will remove and/or reduce chlorine, sediment, algae, molds, scale, bad taste, odors, and other undesirable contaminants that may effect the quality of your water supply. And unlike carbon only filters, bacteria can’t grow inside the bacteriostatic CuZn filters.

How to Use Organic Nail Polish

In general, organic polishes provide the same bright, water proof, scratch resistant finish as their toxic counterparts. However, if your nails are dry, you may need to treat them with a moisturizer before applying polish. This will make it easier to remove the polish. To maximize its length of wear, apply the polish at night. While it takes about the same time to dry to a “tack free” state, it can take four to six hours for the polish to cure at the molecular level.

If you go to sleep with a fresh manicure, by the time you wake up, your nails polish will be ready for even the harshest conditions. When you’re finished with your manicure, store your polish where it stays at room temperatures. Cold temperatures can thicken polish. If this happens, just add a drop of water and shake.

How do I remove water-based nail polish?

Suncoat Water-based nail polish has been formulated to adhere well to the nail bed. If left on nails for an extended time, it may require a little more effort to remove. For easy removal, remove the polish weekly.

Remove WITH Suncoat natural nail polish remover:

Suncoat natural nail polish remover is recommended although solvent based remover will take off the polish. Dab the remover onto nails using a Q-tip / or a cotton ball, and allow at least 2 minutes for the remover to soften the polish. Then rub the nails until the polish is fully removed. Repeat when necessary.

Rinse hands with water to remove residue.

Remove WITHOUT Suncoat natural nail polish remover:

Soak nails in hot water for couple of minutes, then gently scrap off the polish using a fingernail.

Important: If your nails are weak and damaged, please consult your health care provider for advice.
