MORE THAN A NAIL POLISH: ABOUT US

MORE THAN A NAIL POLISH: ABOUT US

As I entered the field of Lapidary, learning to cut, carve, and polish crystals/gems, I had the idea to learn how to cut crystals to be made into wearable nail polish. 

Originally, my company and product was called, "Hidden Gems". This name seemed fitting at the moment, both geologically as crystals in their purest form are geodes and look like rocks on the outside, and a testament to how I felt at the time, that I had valuable traits but was often misunderstood. I have always felt like I didn’t quite fit into the mold society had predetermined, and I felt the need to represent this in my product’s name. Eventually, though, I learned to embrace who I am, and appreciate my diversity.

This inspired me to rename my product to “You're a Gem". I had a message I wanted to share with the world, that each person is both unique and valuable. My product box states, "We focus on celebrating the uniqueness of every crystal used in our polish. Each crystal, distinct in shape, size, and color mirrors the individuality and rarity of the wearer. Just like you, ‘You’re a Gem’--special and one-of-a-kind. Every bottle has a different ‘gem’ or crystal, rendering it both valuable and unique, a testament to the beauty of diversity".
