Red Aspen developed a Nail Polish system to give you more flexibility and ways to play with color. Our system is perfect for quick manicures, matching your toes to your press-ons, refreshing your look between sets, or simply enjoying a traditional polish routine. Together, our press-ons and Nail Polish system offer a complete nail wardrobe for every mood, moment, and lifestyle.

Polished by Red Aspen is a four-step Nail Polish system that includes Nail Primer, Base Coat, Nail Polish, and Top Coat. We named it "Polished" because the system is designed to be clean, quick, and easy while still delivering a flawless, glossy finish. The diamond symbolizes the polish and shine your nails have after using the system.

Polished by Red Aspen is designed to give you a flawless nail finish without the time commitment or cost of a traditional salon. The system is built around a fast-drying, 10-free formula, and the streamlined system delivers bold, trending colors with finishes that go beyond basic. Clean, quick, and designed to perform because great nails don't have to be complicated.

The products within the Nail Polish system are:

1. Nail Primer: Extend the life of your manicure with Red Aspen Nail Primer. Fast-drying formula removes moisture and oil from the nail’s surface to ensure optimal Nail Dash or Nail Polish application.
2. Base Coat: Get longer-lasting results and stronger nails with Red Aspen’s Base Coat. With the help of biotin, this strengthening layer creates a hard base to protect nails while working double-time for better polish adhesion. 
3. Nail Polish: Red Aspen’s Nail Polish delivers vibrant color smoothly and evenly for a glossy, gel-like finish. Get a salon-quality, chip-resistant manicure in minutes and go about your day confident you look Polished. 
4. Top Coat: Red Aspen’s Top Coat is the final step in achieving a perfect mani! Chip-resistant and long lasting, this Top Coat delivers a glossy, gel-like finish in minutes not hours. No UV lamp required! 

We recommend the following for the best results:

1. Apply one coat of Nail Primer to clean, natural nails and wait 5 seconds for it to dry. 
2. After using Nail Primer, start at the base and apply one layer of Base Coat to each nail. Allow to dry for 2 minutes before applying Nail Polish.
3. Apply one coat of Nail Polish to each nail, from base of the nail to top edge, and dry for 2 minutes. Apply a second coat and dry for 2 more minutes.
4. Apply one layer of Top Coat to each nail. Make yourself comfy and wait 15 minutes before going on with your day.

Please note that for shimmer shades, 3 coats gives a more opaque look vs. a sheer shimmer. Shimmer polishes can be used over shiny polishes and should be followed with a Top Coat for the best seal. 

1. Nail Primer: Wait 5 seconds.
2. Base Coat: Wait 2 minutes. 
3. Nail Polish: Wait 2 minutes after each coat. 
4. Top Coat: Wait 15 minutes for nails to dry before going about your day.

The Nail Polish system has not been officially tested for kids.

Yes, the Nail Primer, Base Coat, Nail Polish, and Top Coat products include alcohol which is flammable. Store them in a cool, dry place away from heat. 

The Nail Polish system has not been officially tested for allergic reactions or skin sensitivity. We recommend a patch test on a single nail first, and if any sensitivity occurs, stop use immediately.

New Nail Polish shades will be released throughout the year, so we’ve made the full ingredient list for products in the Nail Polish system available on the Nail Polish product page on redaspenlove.com.

Yes, just make sure to bring all four steps to your appointment for best results. Salon-brand nail polishes can contain ingredients that aren’t considered clean, and they may not be reviewed by the Food & Drug Administration. Polished by Red Aspen is a great substitute for those nail polishes because the system was developed without the following 10 harmful chemicals: Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Xylene, Ethyl Tosylamide, Parabens, Phthalates, and Triphenyl Phosphate (TPHP).

"10-Free" means Red Aspen’s nail polish system is formulated without 10 commonly restricted chemicals found in traditional nail polish. We developed a 10-free formula because these ingredients have been linked to health concerns, and we wanted to offer a safer option for our customers without compromising quality or color.

Here are the 10 ingredients excluded from Polished by Red Aspen:

• Toluene – irritant
• Formaldehyde – carcinogen
• Formaldehyde resin – allergen
• Camphor – irritant
• Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) – may affect reproductive, neurological, and developmental systems
• Xylene – irritant, allergen
• Ethyl tosylamide – endocrine disruptor
• Parabens – endocrine disruptor
• Phthalates – endocrine disruptors that may affect reproductive and developmental health
• Triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) – irritant

Red Aspen Nail Primer is a prep step that helps remove oils and moisture from the natural nail, creating an optimal surface for better adhesion and longer-lasting wear of both press-on nails and nail polish.

Yes, the Nail Primer is exactly the same formula as our previously known Nail Dehydrator. We’ve updated the name to better reflect its broader role in nail prep across both press-on nail and nail polish systems.

Apply Nail Primer after cleansing and shaping your nails, and before applying press-on nails, or if using a nail polish system, prior to any base coat, polish, or any other nail enhancements.

Apply one coat of Nail Primer to clean, natural nails and wait 5 seconds for it to dry. Apply Red Aspen Nail Dashes, or if using Nail Polish, apply Base Coat and dry for 2 minutes before applying polish.

Nail Primer removes excess oil and moisture from the nail surface, helping to improve adhesion so your manicure or press-on nails last longer and stay looking fresh.

Yes, Nail Primer is designed to improve nail polish wear by creating a clean, oil-free surface for better base coat and polish adhesion.

Yes, because Nail Primer and base coat serve different purposes. Nail Primer preps the natural nail by removing oils, while the base coat helps smooth the nail and anchor polish.

Yes, Nail Primer is especially effective for press-ons, helping the adhesive bond more securely to the natural nail for improved wear time.

Nail Primer is a prep step used on bare nails, while a base coat builds the nail’s foundation for color polish. If using Red Aspen’s Nail Polish System, use Nail Primer first, then the Base Coat prior to applying Nail Polish.

No. When used as directed, Nail Primer simply removes surface oils and does not damage the natural nail plate.

Yes, Nail Primer dries within seconds of application.

You can, but for best longevity and adhesion, especially with press-ons, we highly recommend using Nail Primer first as skipping it may result in shorter wear time and/or lifting.

Red Aspen has not altered the product itself; we have only changed the name to better position the product for use in both Nail Dash and Nail Polish applications. The updated name is more consumer-friendly and intuitive, while still accurately describing its prep function. 

"Nail Dehydrator" historically described its function in press-on nail prep, while "Nail Primer" better reflects its expanded role in a full nail system, including both press-on application and nail polish wear.

Natural nails often have oils that can prevent nail polish from fully adhering to the nail plate, which can lead to chipping or premature lifting. Nail Primer helps remove those surface oils so that the base coat and nail polish can anchor more effectively to the nail. While it doesn't replace a base coat, it does create a more optimal starting surface which can help improve overall wear time and reduce early edge wear or peeling.

No, Nail Primer is not a substitute for proper nail prep. It works best when used as part of a full nail prep routine. Cleaning the nail surface and removing debris first ensures that the Nail Primer can effectively target oils and moisture rather than being blocked by residue.

Yes, Nail Primer should be allowed to fully air-dry before applying other products. It is formulated to evaporate quickly (within 5 seconds), but applying product too soon can trap moisture or dilute its effectiveness, reducing adhesion performance. 

Nail Primer is designed to be a fast-evaporating prep step that focuses on surface oil removal rather than long-term nail dehydration. When used as directed, it should not compromise nail health. It is intended as a short-contact, pre-application step within a normal manicure routine.

Skipping Nail Primer may still result in a wearable manicure or press-on nail set, but you may see reduced longevity or earlier edge lifting, especially if nails are naturally oily or exposed to lotions and water frequently. It is considered a performance-enhancing step rather than an optional decorative step.

Nail Primer and other Nail Polish system products are only eligible for Economy and Standard Shipping due to USPS regulations. 

Red Aspen Polished is designed to work as a complete nail polish system, including our Nail Primer, Base Coat, Color Polish, and Top Coat. Each step is formulated to work together for a smoother application, better wear, and longer-lasting manicure.

A hardening base coat is a protective layer that strengthens and conditions nails before nail polish application. It helps prevent breakage and damage while also improving how well the polish adheres and lasts on the nail.

Red Aspen uses a hardening base coat in the Nail Polish system to protect your nails during regular polish use and help ensure better results. A quality base coat is essential to a complete nail polish system, so it's a key part of delivering the flawless finish we designed Polished to provide.

Red Aspen Base Coat helps create a smooth, even surface for Nail Polish application while improving adhesion for longer-lasting wear. It also helps protect natural nails from staining, especially when using darker or highly-pigmented shades.

After using Nail Primer, start at the base and apply one layer of Base Coat to each nail. Allow to dry for 2 minutes before applying Nail Polish.

We recommend applying one thin coat of Base Coat. Applying too much product may increase drying time and affect manicure performance.

For best results, we recommend using Base Coat with every manicure to help maximize wear time, improve adhesion, and protect natural nails.

Allow Base Coat to dry for approximately 2 minutes, or until it feels slightly tacky but not wet.

Yes, Red Aspen Base Coat is both vegan and cruelty free.

Store Base Coat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Always keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use.

Base Coat is designed to dry quickly to help streamline your manicure routine. Dry time may vary depending on how much product is applied and environmental conditions, but a thin layer of Base Coat will dry in 2 minutes.

Yes, the Base Coat formula is intended for use on natural nails as part of a standard manicure routine.

Yes, the Base Coat formula creates a protective barrier that helps reduce staining caused by deeply pigmented nail colors.

Peeling can occur if nails were not fully clean or dry before application, if coats were applied too thick, or if nails were exposed to excessive moisture or oils shortly after application.

Yes, lightly brushing the base coat across the tip (free edge) of the nail can help improve wear and reduce premature chipping.

A light tackiness is normal as this helps nail polish grip better and improves overall adhesion of your manicure system. 

We recommend only one thin coat of Base Coat as extra layers may interfere with proper drying and reduce polish performance. 

Yes, always make sure your nails are clean, completely dry, and free of oils or lotion before applying. We recommend starting with Red Aspen Nail Primer to help remove natural oils from your nails before applying Base Coat. 

Base Coat can be removed (as can nail polish) by using Red Aspen’s Nail Polish Remover. 

If nail polish is peeling off like a film, it’s usually because the polish has not properly bonded to the nail plate, often due to oils, moisture, or skipping proper nail prep. Base Coat helps, but nail prep is just as important for longer lasting manicures. 

If Base Coat is lifting at the cuticle, it’s usually because product has flooded the cuticle area or there’s a buildup of oil near the nail bed. You should paint just up to the cuticle but not over it to ensure a clean application. 

If the Base Coat has bubbles, it is likely caused by shaking the bottle, applying too thick of a layer, or applying in a warm environment. Gently roll the bottle instead of shaking and apply thin coats.

No, nail oils should only be used after completing a manicure. Using a nail oil prior to applying Base Coat can prevent proper adhesion and lead to lifting and/or chipping.

It is best to use Red Aspen Base Coat within 12 months after opening it. After 12 months, we advise purchasing a new Base Coat to maintain quality and durability. 

No, Base Coat cannot be shipped by air because it’s classified as a flammable product. To comply with shipping regulations, it can only be transported via ground or ocean shipping.

Other base coats may focus on filling in ridges, quick drying, or long lasting. Red Aspen Base Coat is a hardening base coat that helps create a smooth, even surface for nail polish application, while also improving adhesion for longer-lasting wear. It is both hardening and long-lasting with a 2-minute dry time.

We developed a 10-free formula because these ingredients have been linked to health concerns, and we wanted to offer a safer option for our customers without compromising quality or color.

Here are the 10 ingredients excluded from Polished by Red Aspen:

• Toluene – irritant
• Formaldehyde – carcinogen
• Formaldehyde resin – allergen
• Camphor – irritant
• Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) – may affect reproductive, neurological, and developmental systems
• Xylene – irritant, allergen
• Ethyl tosylamide – endocrine disruptor
• Parabens – endocrine disruptor
• Phthalates – endocrine disruptors that may affect reproductive and developmental health
• Triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) – irritant

Yes, all Red Aspen Nail Polishes are vegan and cruelty free.

After opening a bottle of Nail Polish, it is best to use it within 12 months. After 12 months, we advise purchasing a new one to maintain its quality and durability. 

A base coat is always recommended to help protect the natural nail and improve polish adhesion, while a top coat seals in color, adds shine, and helps extend wear time. For best results, we recommend using both. Red Aspen’s nail polish system includes Base and Top Coats to help ensure a long lasting manicure.

Allow Base Coat to dry for approximately 2 minutes, or until it feels slightly tacky but not wet.

Most Nail Polish shades look best with 2-3 thin coats. Apply thin layers rather than one thick coat to ensure even coverage and faster drying time. Some polish shades are more sheer than others and may require more coats to achieve your desired look.

For best results, wait 2 minutes before applying additional coats of Nail Polish. 

With proper application and prep, Red Aspen Nail Polish typically lasts up to 4-6 days, depending on nail type, daily activities, and whether Base and Top Coats are applied.

To extend wear time, start with clean, dry nails, use a base coat, apply thin layers of polish, and finish with a top coat. Reapplying the top coat every 2-3 days can also help maintain shine and durability.

Chipping can happen due to natural oil on the nail, skipping Base and/or Top Coats, applying thick layers, or frequent exposure to water and harsh chemicals. Proper prep and thin, even coats help reduce chipping.

No, this is a traditional nail polish formula and does not require a UV/LED lamp. It air-dries naturally.

Store Nail Polish in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep bottles tightly closed to prevent thickening and ensure optimal performance.

We do not recommend applying Nail Polish to press-on nails. Red Aspen Nail Dashes are typically heat-cured due to the special finishes and designs, and as such, nail polish will not adhere properly to a press-on.

Red Aspen's Top Coat helps enrich color and enhance shimmer or gloss effects. The polish shade should not change after applying a top coat. 

Yes, but glitter and shimmer shades may require gentle layering to distribute the effect evenly across the nail. Using Red Aspen Base Coat helps improve adhesion and smooth application.

Streaking can happen with lighter and more sheer formulas of Nail Polish. Using thin coats and allowing proper drying time between layers helps achieve a smooth, even finish.

Screen settings, brightness, and device type can affect how Nail Polish shades appear online; slight variations are normal.

No, not always. Some Nail Polish shades may appear more sheer, deeper, or brighter once applied in thin layers. We suggest applying 2-3 coats for the truest color payoff.

Red Aspen Nail Polish is designed for durable, everyday wear and delivers long-lasting color when applied as a part of a full nail system. While this Nail Polish isn’t a gel formula, applying Nail Primer, using the Base Coat, thin layers of Nail Polish, and sealing it with our Top Coat will help maximize wear time and improve resistance to chipping. Proper nail prep and application play a big role in achieving the best, longest-lasting manicure.

Nail Polish can be removed using Red Aspen Nail Polish Remover.

Our polish has a classic nail polish odor, which some people may notice during application. The smell is temporary and fades as the polish dries. Once the polish is set, there is no lingering odor on nails.

Red Aspen has something for every mood and occasion. Our Nail Polish comes in 

• shiny (classic glossy)
• shimmer (small sparkle pieces)
• chrome (high-shine, mirror effect)
• holographic (multidimensional, shifting-color effect)
• glitter (larger sparkle pieces, light-catching shine)

Nail polish can become thick or stringy over time due to exposure to air, heat, or infrequent use. It may also happen when a bottle is left open for too long or not stored properly. To help maintain the best consistency, always close the cap tightly after use and store Nail Polish in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If needed, gently roll the bottle between your hands before application to help reblend the formula; avoid shaking, as this can introduce air bubbles.

An uneven or patchy finish is usually caused by applying coats that are too thin or too thick, or from not allowing enough time to dry between layers. It can also happen with lighter or highly-pigmented shades that need additional coverage. For best results, apply 2-3 thin, even coats, and let each layer fully dry before applying the next. Using Red Aspen Base Coat can also help create a smoother surface for a more even color application.

Yes, Red Aspen’s Nail Polish formula is designed for easy, smooth application and works well for both beginners and experienced users.

To help Nail Polish dry faster, apply thin coats, avoid heavy layers, and allow each coat to fully dry before applying the next.

No, Nail Polish cannot be shipped by air because it’s classified as a flammable product. To comply with shipping regulations, it can only be transported via ground or ocean shipping.

Yes, Red Aspen Nail Polish shades and finishes are perfect for creativity. Layer different colors, add a special finish over a shiny shade, or mix and match finishes across your manicure to create a look that's uniquely yours. Be sure to allow each layer to dry well before applying the next for the smoothest, most even finish. Always follow polish coats with Red Aspen Top Coat to lock in your mani. 

Polished by Red Aspen is designed to work as a complete nail polish system, including our Nail Primer, Base Coat, Color Polish, and Top Coat. Each step is formulated to work together for a smoother application, better wear, and longer-lasting manicure. 

Red Aspen Top Coat is the final step in our nail polish system. It helps seal in color for longer wear while adding a glossy, gel-like finish.

Apply one thin layer of Top Coat to each nail after your last color polish layer has dried for 2-3 minutes. Allow nails to dry for 15 minutes after applying Top Coat before resuming normal activities.

Red Aspen’s Top Coat formula is designed to dry quickly. For best results, wait approximately 15 minutes after application before resuming normal activity. To test if your nails are dry, gently tap nails and if they still feel gummy or sticky, wait a few minutes before going about your day. 

Yes, Top Coat is designed to help protect your manicure from everyday wear and improve chip resistance.

Yes, the Top Coat formula is designed to leave nails with a smooth, glossy, gel-like shine without the need for a UV lamp.

Applying coats too thickly or not allowing color polish to set for 2-3 minutes before application of Top Coat may affect drying. Thin, even layers typically provide the best finish.

Exposure to air over time may naturally thicken the Top Coat formula. Be sure to tightly close the bottle after each use.

Yes, sealing the nail tip (free edge) with Top Coat is highly recommended. This helps lock in your manicure and adds an extra layer of protection against chipping and premature wear.

While Red Aspen Top Coat can be applied to bare nails for a light, glossy finish, it is primarily designed to be used over nail polish as a sealing step. For best results and longer wear, we recommend applying it over your color polish within the full nail polish system.

No, Red Aspen Top Coat is designed to enhance shine and help protect the reflective finish of glitter and shimmer polishes. It seals your manicure without muting the sparkle, leaving a smooth, glossy finish that helps shimmer and glitter stay vibrant.

With proper application, Red Aspen Top Coat helps extend the life of your manicure for up to 5 days. Wear time does vary depending on nail prep, daily activities, and how often your hands are exposed to water or harsh chemicals.

Red Aspen Top Coat can help visually smooth minor texture and add a glossy, even finish. However, it is not designed to correct major streaking or uneven color application; those are best fixed with proper polish layering before applying Top Coat.

Yes, Red Aspen’s Top Coat formula is both vegan and cruelty free.

Store Red Aspen Top Coat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Always close the bottle tightly after each use to help prevent the formula from thickening or drying out. For best performance, store the bottle upright at room temperature.

After opening Top Coat, it’s best to use it within 12 months. After 12 months, we advise purchasing a new one to maintain its quality and durability.  

For best results, apply a fresh layer of Top Coat every 2-3 days to help maintain shine and prolong wear.

No, we do not recommend using Top Coat on press-on nails. Red Aspen Nail Dashes are already finished with a durable, salon-inspired top layer designed to deliver long-lasting shine and wear. Adding a layer of Top Coat to your press-ons isn't necessary and may affect the look or finish of the design. For best results, save your Top Coat for Red Aspen Nail Polish manicures and let your press-ons shine on their own.

Top Coat and other Nail Polish system products are only eligible for Economy and Standard Shipping due to USPS regulations.

No, Red Aspen’s Top Coat is a fast-drying formula and the last step required in the Polished by Red Aspen system. It will leave nails glossy and extend the wear of Nail Polish without any additional steps required.

Polished by Red Aspen is designed to work as a complete nail polish system, including our Nail Primer, Base Coat, Color Polish, and Top Coat. Each step is formulated to work together for a smoother application, better wear, and longer-lasting manicure. 

Red Aspen’s Nail Polish Remover is a mess-free way to remove nail polish. The pot contains a sponge infused with nail polish remover. To use, simply insert your finger, twist gently, and polish is removed in seconds.  For feet, tilt pot to saturate cap. Twist off cap and use attached sponge to remove polish from toes. Wash feet and dry thoroughly.

Insert one finger into the sponge opening and gently twist back and forth until polish is removed. Repeat on each nail, as needed. Polish should be removed in seconds! For feet, tilt pot to saturate cap. Twist off cap and use attached sponge to remove polish from toes. Wash feet and dry thoroughly.

The Nail Polish Remover is designed to remove traditional nail polish, including dark shades, shimmers, and other special finishes.

Yes, our Nail Polish Remover formula uses methyl acetate instead of acetone to help effectively remove polish while feeling less harsh on nails and skin.

The Nail Polish Remover is designed for removing nail polish. While it may help loosen the adhesive used for press-ons, results will vary depending on adhesive and press-on type. We recommend using Red Aspen’s Nail Dash Removal Bundle tools for press-on removal.

Yes, the Nail Polish Remover is both cruelty free and vegan.

Frequent polish removal of any kind may contribute to dryness over time. Using Red Aspen Cuticle Oil after removal will help keep nails and skin hydrated.

After removing polish, wash hands and apply Red Aspen's Cuticle Oil to help restore moisture to nails and hands. Limiting prolonged soaking and avoiding overuse of remover will also help keep nails feeling hydrated and healthy-looking.

Actual usage may vary depending on polish type and finish, number of coats, nail length, and removal habits; however, expect approximately 16 uses based on internal testing of shiny-finish nail polish using the Nail Polish Remover.

Yes, the cap on our Nail Polish Remover has a built-in sponge, making it easy and mess-free to remove nail polish from toes, as well!

Some stubborn shades need a little extra time! Glitter, shimmer, or darker colors can take a few extra swirls to fully remove. For best results, gently press and twist nails inside the Nail Polish Remover and repeat as needed.

Glitter polishes may require additional soaking and twisting due to the larger-pigment particles.

Store your Nail Polish Remover tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and open flames. Keeping the lid securely closed between uses helps prevent evaporation and keeps the remover working its best.

When polish starts taking longer to remove or the sponge looks heavily used, the Nail Polish Remover is probably ready for a refresh.

Yes, with repeated use, the sponge may gradually soften, discolor, or show signs of wear from friction and polish buildup. This is a normal part of the Nail Polish Remover’s lifespan.

A remover pot offers a quicker, more contained removal method using a pre-saturated sponge, while traditional remover requires cotton pads and manual wiping.

It’s best to use the Nail Polish Remover within 12 months. After 12 months, we advise purchasing a new one to maintain its quality and durability. 

Yes, the Nail Polish Remover is compact and convenient for travel. To help prevent leaks, always ensure the lid is tightly closed and store it upright when possible. Please note that because the formula contains flammable ingredients, air travel restrictions may apply. We recommend checking with your airline before packing it in your carry-on or checked luggage.
