  • Understanding Indie Nail Polish

    Indie nail polish refers to nail polish brands that are independently owned and operated, often by small business owners or creators who handcraft their products in small batches. Unlike mainstream brands, indie polishes are known for their unique, creative formulas, limited-edition collections, and attention to detail. These polishes often feature vibrant colours, special effects like holographics or glitters, and a focus on quality ingredients, with many being cruelty-free and free from harmful chemicals.

    What is Indie Nail Polish? 

  • Explained: 3-Free, 5-Free & 10-Free

    When shopping for nail polish, you may come across terms like 3-free, 5-free, or even 10-free. These labels refer to the absence of certain harmful chemicals commonly found in traditional nail polishes. The higher the number, the more toxic ingredients have been removed, making the polish safer for your nails and overall health. From formaldehyde to parabens, these "free" formulas are part of a movement toward cleaner, non-toxic beauty.
