Kint - Pine Nail Polish

Hero Ingredients: A durable, non-toxic suspension of natural mattifying minerals and plant-derived film-formers.

Diatomaceous Earth: A naturally occurring, silica-rich sedimentary mineral that diffuses light across the nail surface to create an authentic, velvety matte finish while reinforcing the lacquer against chips.

Nitrocellulose & Plant-Derived Resins (Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate): Breathable, plant-sourced film-formers that create a flexible, chip-resistant bond over your nail plate without feeling thick or heavy.

Acetyl Tributyl Citrate: A clean, biodegradable plasticizer derived from citric acid that replaces harsh traditional chemicals (like phthalates) to keep the polish flexible so it resists cracking under impact.

This nail polish is suitable for all nail types and skin tones. It is ideal for men looking to experiment with nail color through a grounded, masculine forest green shade and a modern, no-shine matte finish.

Modern Matte Finish: Goes on wet and quickly dries down to a flat, shine-free forest green texture that looks grounded and intentional.

Fast-Drying Formula: Sets quickly between coats so you do not have to sit around waiting or worrying about smudging your nails.

Chip-Resistant Durability: Flexible, plant-based resins bend with your natural nail to prevent premature peeling and flaking.

Clean, Non-Toxic Chemistry: Made without the harsh solvents and toxic plasticizers found in conventional drugstore nail polishes.

Apply in a well-ventilated area on clean, dry hands.

Step 1 (Prep): Wash and dry your hands thoroughly to remove any surface oils. For the smoothest finish and to prevent dark green pigment from staining your natural nails, apply one thin layer of Kint Base Coat Strengthener first and let it dry.

Step 2 (First Coat): Wipe one side of the brush against the bottle neck so it is not overloaded with paint. Apply one thin, even coat of Pine from the base of your nail to the tip, and let it dry for 1 to 2 minutes until it turns matte.

Step 3 (Second Coat): Apply a second thin coat to build deep, opaque forest green coverage, and allow your nails to dry completely before using your hands heavily.

Step 4 (Removal): Whenever you are ready to take it off, wipe clean using a cotton pad soaked in standard nail polish remover.

This formula is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and free from major traditional nail toxins (including formaldehyde and phthalates).The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only. Apply in a well-ventilated area and keep away from heat or open flame.

Two insider tips will guarantee your matte nail polish looks sharp and lasts all week. First, resist the urge to paint one thick layer. Thick coats trap wet solvents underneath, which causes bubbles and smudges. Two thin coats will always dry faster, look smoother, and last twice as long as one heavy coat. Second, do not put a standard clear top coat over this polish! Regular top coats are designed to add high-gloss shine, which will completely erase the custom matte finish of Pine. Let the second coat of Pine dry on its own so the Diatomaceous Earth in the formula can lock in that flat, velvety texture.

This product is fragrance-free (features the standard, temporary solvent scent of a nail lacquer while wet, which disappears completely once dry).

Does this polish go on matte right away, or does it look shiny at first?

When you first swipe it onto your nail, the liquid will look glossy for the first 30 to 60 seconds while it is wet. As the solvents evaporate, you will watch the surface automatically transform into a smooth, flat matte finish.

If I am new to wearing nail polish, what is the easiest way to start?

Many men start by painting just a single accent nail (such as the ring finger or index finger on one hand) before painting all ten nails. Because Pine is a muted, dark forest green with zero gloss, it reads like a subtle, rugged accessory rather than traditional high-shine polish.

Will dark green polish stain my bare fingernails?

Any deeply pigmented dark polish (like forest green or black) can leave a temporary yellow tint on bare nail beds if worn repeatedly without a barrier. Applying a single coat of the Kint Base Coat Strengthener underneath Pine seals the keratin plate so the green pigment never touches your bare nail.
