2. Triple O Nail Polish: Diversifying Beauty in Nail Care
“If you don’t have to think about it. It’s a privilege.”
The founder of OOO Nail Polish has taken beauty matters into her own hands by mixing and formulating her own African-inspired nail polishes that embrace every skin tone.
She writes:
“It’s not about just buying our nail polish, but it’s also about being able to confidently pick out your next shade or one of our swatches inspiring you to step out your comfort zone. No matter how many times someone says “it would look good on you.”, sometimes you need a little inspiration. That’s why we’re here.”
Triple OOO even makes an effort to not photoshop or alter any of their photos online so you get exactly what you’re shopping for. They showcase all colors on all skin colors.
