Keeki makes water-based nail polish and has a Pure & Simple collection that actually is both pure and simple.

Downsides of Keeki nail polish
As with most water-based polishes, these polishes don’t seem to last quite as long as conventional solvent-based polish. They can also take a while to dry.
- Clean your nails first
- Paint your nails around two hours before you go to bed
- Use a hairdryer on low heat to speed up the drying process
- Avoid exposing your hands to warm water for at least an hour after painting your nails
- Avoid immersing your hands in water for at least four hours after painting your nails
- Remove the polish completely within a week – it gets harder to remove after that as it dries and sticks more to the nail.
Final thoughts on Keeki nail polish
At just $10.99 for a 15 mL bottle, Keeki nail polish is an affordable non-toxic option free from all the the common culprits in polish. These polishes come in a range of fun colors, and touch-ups are also easier with water-based polish.
Keeki’s nail polishes include various glitter polish shades that get their shimmer from mica rather than microplastics.
