Hey Nu fam ๐
All colours now restocked!
Including:
Haunted
Rusted
Submerged
Tempest
First Sparkle
(Except for Hostile Melee Mob, which is now retired โฐ๏ธ) If anyone desperately wants her please lemme know and I can dig out my swatching bottle)
Alsoooo, my non-nail polish life is taking up 99% of my attention atm, so sadly we won't have a release for Xmas 2025. But! I'm planning on coming back strong for a sparkly Spring collection, and hopefully a big crimbo 2026.
Will still be having a wee Black Friday promotion ๐
Love you thank you byeeee xx

I thought I should write an introductory post, since y'all might wanna know me and what I'm about.
Hi ๐ I'm Sarah. Lover of colours and nail polish.
I have a full time job in healthcare administration, and a wee beautiful 1.5yrold bambino.
I discovered indie nail polish a few years ago and became Obsessed. Multichromes and flakies blew my mind ๐คฏ๐ There were colours and combos I wanted that weren't available, so I started mixing my own. After many months of planning and testing, I started Nu Nail Polish!
Seeing my lil creations out in the world, being enjoyed by you guys, is seriously the greatest honour ๐
AMA if you wanna know more! And tell me, what's your favourite type of indie polish? I love them all (except maybe jellies, haha)
