Painting your nails isn’t just about having a manicure that will make people ask who your nail lady is (but they will!). It is a way to slow down amidst the chaos of life. When you carve out time for yourself it should be with products that feel phenomenal to use and don't sacrifice your health.

Your nails deserve better

Meet the founder

Hi, friend! I'm Walker.
I stopped painting my nails because I thought it was impossible to find a polish that met my strict standards for both performance and safety. I tried over a thousand nail polishes and learned exactly what makes a manicure effortless and joyful. I personally curate every color to ensure it meets my high standards and gives you a 5-Star Mani Experience.

As a business owner and mom, I know that taking time for yourself isn’t always easy—but it matters so that you can show up as the best version of yourself for your loved ones. When you do you take time for you you should be able to use products that don't compromise on performance or your health.

Yep! We're still nail polish but we have found alternatives for 21+ harmful ingredients typically used in nail polish formulas.

Non-toxic isn't a regulated term which can mean customers have to google lots of ingredients to evaluate the safety of a product. We know you're busy and we value transparency which is why we list the Environmental Working Group safety analysis of every ingredient in our base formula. Check it out here.

Yes! We're Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free which means we are re-certified every year. Leaping Bunny evaluates not only our finished products but also all of our ingredients and certifies that there is no animal testing whatsoever.

1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads suffer from postpartum depression and/or anxiety before or after childbirth. Postpartum Support International is an organization dedicated to ensuring all families have access to resources and education to support with PPD and PPA. This mission is close to my heart as a mom. I know first hand that self-care isn't just about taking time for yourself it is also about getting the support and resources you need to thrive.
