Reset Nail Polish & Remover

No, and we will always be honest about that. Reset Nail Polish is a cosmetic nail polish with anti-fungal ingredients, not a medical treatment, so it cannot cure a fungal infection. What it does is improve the appearance of yellow or discoloured nails straight away, while microsilver supports anti-fungal care. For a persistent or severe fungal concern, see your GP or podiatrist, and you can use Reset Nail Polish alongside their plan to keep nails looking their best.

Reset Nail Polish forms a sheer coat over the nail. Light-reflecting purple pearls sit on the surface and visually cancel out yellow tones, so nails look clearer instantly. Over time, gentle exfoliating acids help brighten staining, and anti-fungal actives like microsilver and tea tree support nail care. Any lasting change to a discoloured nail only appears as healthy new nail grows in to replace it.

The cosmetic improvement is instant. Genuine change to the nail itself is gradual, because nails grow slowly. Fingernails take 4 to 6 months to grow out fully, and toenails 12 to 18 months, so improvement in stained or fungal nails is measured in weeks to months, not days. Consistency matters.

Staining from dark polish or environmental exposure usually affects the surface and looks fairly even. Fungal discolouration often comes with thickening, crumbling or a change in nail shape, and tends to affect toenails more than fingernails. Reset Nail Polish improves the look of yellowing whatever the cause. If you notice thickening, crumbling, pain or spreading, that points to a fungal or medical cause, and we would recommend seeing your GP or podiatrist.

Once every 5 days. Remove the old coat with Remover Serum before reapplying. It also suits ongoing use if you simply want to keep nails looking clearer and more even.

Yes. Reset Nail Polish has a pretty, sheer, pearly finish, so many customers wear it as a standalone polish. It will not harm healthy nails if you do not have a fungal concern.

Yes, it works on both fingernails and toenails. Toenail concerns tend to be more stubborn and slower to improve, simply because toenails grow more slowly.

Our products are topical and generally safe to use alongside other routines, but it is worth understanding how Reset Nail Polish works with them.

Reset Nail Polish forms a coat over the nail. That is what lets it conceal discolouration, but it also means it can sit between your nail and any topical antifungal you apply underneath. Many pharmacy antifungals are serums or lacquers designed to absorb directly into the nail, and a coat of polish over the top can block that absorption. If you are using one of these, it is best to use one product or the other, rather than layering them.

Oral antifungal treatments work differently, from the inside out, so Reset Nail Polish will not interfere with them. You can use both.

If you are using a prescription antifungal or have an underlying health condition such as diabetes, check with your healthcare provider first.

It depends on how you want to approach it. The Nail Reset System (exfoliating serum and oil) is a bare-nail treatment routine that goes deeper, with tea tree, neem and oregano oils. This set is for when you want to wear colour while you address discolouration. Many people use the system as their nightly routine and this polish when they want a clear, even finish for everyday or an event.

Nail fungus can recur even after it clears, because the spores live on in shoes, showers and damp environments. Keeping feet clean and dry, changing socks regularly, avoiding barefoot walking in public areas, and not sharing nail tools or shoes all help reduce the chance of it returning.

The polish is water-based and made to release with the Remover Serum, so it lifts off with a five-minute wipe and none of the harsh fumes of acetone. They are built to work as a pair. Using another remover means a harsher removal and the stripped, dried-out nails this set is designed to prevent.

It does not wash off. This is not a children's peel-off polish. It wears like a normal polish and lasts around 5 days. When you want it off, you use the Remover Serum.

Yes. Most of the damage from a manicure comes from the acetone used to remove it, and this set takes that step out entirely. The polish is water-based and lifts away with the Remover Serum, which hydrates with sweet almond oil and vitamin E rather than stripping your nails.

No. It is not designed to be worn under traditional polish, because you would then need traditional remover to take it all off, which strips your nails and defeats the point of the set.

We removed the ethyl acetate and butyl acetate that give traditional polish its strong smell, so the polish has very little odour. Low enough to paint your nails in bed. The Remover Serum has a light, fruity scent, nothing like a solvent-based remover.

Yes. Every Kester Black product is vegan and cruelty-free.
