Attention Seeker Gel Nail Polish
It’s pretty common at some point or another for a woman to be called an attention seeker, so instead of feeling ashamed or trying to shy away from that, why not embrace it! We love the bold and beautiful hot pink shimmer, Attention Seeker Gel Nail Polish colour. It's a shade that is sure to turn heads and give a huge middle finger to the ones who told you not to stand out. Celebrate your bubbly, adventurous, sexy, and fun side and don’t be afraid to be authentically yourself when wearing this colour! That’s what it’s here for.
Galaxy Fairy Floss Gel Nail Polish
With it's soft pink and subtle shifting shimmers, Galaxy Fairy Floss shade makes us think of divine feminine. It's a Gel Nail Polish colour that looks like a candy floss sunset in the sky - think "God is a Woman" by Ariana Grande vibes. This colour really speaks to our feminine side, and has us feeling flirtatious and powerful all at the same time. What could be better for International Women's Day?
Lady in Red Gel Nail Polish
Lady in Red is a sexy and borderline fluorescent red colour that is truly a powerful Gel Nail Polish colour. What could be more glamorous and better celebrate strong female energy than a fabulous red? It's a shade worn throughout history by some of the worlds most iconic and powerful women, such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Frida Kahlo, and many more. We think a red colour is a necessity for any woman to show off their dynamic and sultry side in a bold and exciting way.
Bewitched Gel Nail Polish
Bewitched is a sultry deep shimmery red Gel Nail Polish colour for our mysterious Queens. This colour has a mesmerising quality, reminding us of a hypnotising eyes and a sassy personality to match. We can’t help but think Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed, Bonnie from the Vampire Diaries, and Samantha Stephens would love this Gel Polish!
