SAMPLE SALE - Limited, discontinued, and OOAK nail polishes!
Hi friends! Welcome to our 2022 10th Anniversary Sample Sale! This is part of a bigger ongoing sale, but full of the most rare and tasty tidbits! :p
Discontinued and limited edition colors, leftovers from past Nail Polish of the Month batches, mystery boxes, and more! We've been hoarding these but need more room in our workroom!
We have included a brief description of each color + the color inspiration, in the dropdown menu above. If we have a sample photo of a given color, it will show up when you select it from the menu.
Despite their rarity and otherwise great condition, we have priced all these colors to reflect the fact that many are "vintage" samples and as such can be expected to have some quirks! We guarantee all of these meet our general standard of quality in terms of interesting colors & excellent formula :)

- Nail polish thickens over time as the solvents inside evaporate. If yours gets too thick, you can bring it back to life with a product called nail polish thinner, sold at any beauty supply store.
- We recommend acetone as the most safe and effective nail polish remover. Moisturize your nails & hands before and after use.
