Frequently asked questions

Is offbeat nail polish vegan?

Yes, 100%. All our polish is vegan and cruelty-free, accredited by Choose Cruelty Free Australia. We test on ourselves, not animals.

What does 10-free or 21-free nail polish mean?

Our polish is free from 10 nasty chemicals that big brands still use: formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor, formaldehyde resin, xylene, parabens, fragrances, phthalates, and animal ingredients.

21-free contains an even more naturally occurring formula. Our 10-free formula is still fantastic but think of our 21-free as an upgrade. 

Why are some polishes 21-free and some are 10-free?

We are currently in the process of updating all our polishes to our new 21-free formula. We still have old stock that we don't want to waste. Our 10-free formula was already amazing, but our new 21-free formula is even better.

What is water permeable nail polish?

Water permeable nail polish has a porous molecular structure that allows water and oxygen to pass through to the natural nail underneath

Our formula is water permeable & breathable, making it halal-friendly and better for nail health.

Please note that offbeat.base is our only non-water permeable product, so it is not halal friendly.

Is offbeat nail polish good for beginners?

Absolutely! We designed offbeat for everyone. First-timers and pros. Our Plush Brush makes one stroke coverage easy.
