Proof, Not Claims
Breathable and water-based polish: independent lab measurements and simple tests you can do at home.
Breathable & Water-Based Nail Polish | Explained With Lab Data
Is "breathable nail polish" a slogan or a measurable fact? In this video we set the claims aside and look at the data.
Two layers:
• Breathable (acetone-based) polish — an independent lab (SGS SERCOVAM, ISO 2528 method, 38°C / 90% RH) measured water-vapour permeability: ≈180–195 g/m²/day. A real, if invisible, permeability.
• Water-based polish — this time a visible test: the film letting water pass, shown through simple household experiments.
Our aim isn't to exaggerate, it's to measure. The numbers and tests are on screen; the conclusion is yours.

The Two-Glass Test | Water-Based vs Acetone Polish
Two glasses, one difference. Water-based polish mixes with water; acetone-based stays clear. See it for yourself, then decide.
The Glass Test | Does the Polish Film Let Water Through?
A film on glass, a drop of water on top, moisture appearing behind. Water-based polish lets water pass — visibly.
Is Breathable Polish Real? | The Lab Answers
An independent lab measured it (SGS, ISO 2528): ≈180–195 g/m²/day water-vapour permeability. Not a slogan — a number.
