It’s finally here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share it with you—Color Dept. has officially launched! This is a project that’s been a year in the making, and the excitement is real. Every step of the journey has been fueled by passion, creativity, and a whole lot of love. From the first idea to today, it’s been a labor of joy, and I’m so excited to see it come to life.
Let me take you back a little bit to where it all began. It was at a nail salon in Silverlake, many years ago, where my love for nails and beauty started to take shape. I was working as a receptionist at my brother’s salon, Gloss, and it was there that I began to understand the magic of self-care through nails. It was more than just a beauty ritual—it was a way to express yourself, to take a moment for yourself, and to indulge in a little creativity. That spark of inspiration stuck with me, and eventually, I knew I wanted to merge my love for fashion with nail care.
But it was important to me that the brand I created aligned with values I believe in—sustainability, health, and kindness. I wanted to ensure that the products we offered were cruelty-free, vegan, non-toxic, and, of course, safe for your nails. Every part of Color Dept. is designed with care, from the formulas to the aesthetics. This is more than just nail polish—it’s about a lifestyle that celebrates individuality, self-expression, and beauty that’s kind to both you and the planet.
A Vision of Color and Creativity
When I started dreaming up Color Dept., I knew I wanted it to be a destination for those who love to stand out and express their unique style. Fashion has always been my foundation, and I wanted to bring that high-fashion edge into the world of nails. I envisioned a space where creativity could flow freely, where anyone could discover their perfect shade to match their mood, outfit, or personality.
After months of inspiration boards, design sketches, and a lot of storytelling, Color Dept. came together. This is a brand that’s all about fun, positivity, and bold self-expression. The first collection, Collection 01, features eight carefully curated nail shades that are the perfect balance of fun and chic. These are the colors that have inspired me throughout my career and life, and they embody the spirit of Color Dept.—vibrant, bold, and unforgettable.
The Story Behind the Shades
Each shade in Collection 01 has been chosen with a specific mood, story, and energy in mind. These are the colors that make you feel powerful, creative, and ready to take on the world. I wanted each polish to not only look beautiful but to inspire you to get creative, try something new, and express yourself in a fun, uplifting way.
What I love about Color Dept. is that it’s not just about beauty for the sake of beauty. It’s about taking time for yourself and enjoying the process of self-care. Nails are such a wonderful way to express your individuality, and I hope that the collection allows you to experiment and have fun with your look. Whether you’re feeling bold and bright or soft and subtle, there’s a shade in Color Dept. that will match your vibe.
A Brand for the Creative Soul
What makes Color Dept. different is that it’s not just about nails—it’s about celebrating creativity, self-expression, and individuality. Each new collection will be released quarterly and will come with a unique story that aligns with the seasons, the trends, and the moods we’re all feeling. It’s a brand that evolves with you, offering a new opportunity for you to get creative with your nails and make a statement every time you paint your fingertips.
I wanted to create a brand that reflects the idea that beauty isn’t just something you put on—it’s something you experience, something you feel. And with each coat of nail polish, I hope you’ll feel empowered, inspired, and ready to take on the day with confidence.
The Future of Color Dept.
This is just the beginning, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come. With every new collection, I’ll continue to bring you fresh, innovative shades that are designed to complement every mood, season, and moment. From bold hues to more subtle, calming tones, there will always be something new to inspire you.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey and make Color Dept. a part of your beauty routine. After all, your nails are an extension of your style and personality, and I want to give you the perfect tools to express that. So, get ready to give your nails the love they deserve—and get those nails looking cute, healthy, and fabulous!
