Meet Nature Strong: Our Natural Origin Nail Lacquer

Listen up. We know you’ve been on the hunt for a natural polish that actually works—one that is made up of natural ingredients you can trust and one that doesn’t require you to choose between performance and natural, because, well, you shouldn’t have to.

So we poured every effort into making a long-lasting, highly pigmented vegan lacquer that stays on so you can stay natural.

Say hello to Nature Strong, our natural origin, vegan nail lacquer packed with look-good, feel-good ingredients.

We know you’ve got questions like, what does natural origin mean? Does it last? What is its impact on the environment? What’s in it? So, we’re breaking it down one by one. 

What does “natural origin” mean?

Good question. Our formula is up to 75% natural origin. This means the classic lacquer ingredients that make up that portion of our formula are derived from nature instead of synthetic origins. This includes both plant and mineral-derived ingredients.

Is it 9-free and what does that really mean? 

You bet. This is a big one and something we really care about. 9-free means a lacquer is formulated without that extra stuff you may not want in your polish or on your nails. Our “9” refers to Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Toluene, Xylene, Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Camphor, Parabens, Ethyl Tosylamide, and Triphenyl Phosphate, and we intentionally chose not to include animal-derived ingredients towards our 9-free count (which brought us to 10) because it’s a characteristic, not a chemical, but you can trust our Vegan Society certification that we are also free of animal-derived ingredients. 

Without the same ingredients as regular lacquer, does it perform the same? 

We hear this question a lot and the answer is yes. There are a lot of lacquers on the market that are natural but don’t hold up, which can be a major let down, so it was important to us that Nature Strong delivers the same performance you love in our original Nail Lacquer. This 9-free* formula still contains natural origin nitrocellulose for adhesion and offers up to 7 days of wear and shine without fading, goes on easily, and dries fast. Yes, yes, and yes. *U.S. Only. 

How many shades are there?

We created 30+ shades that offer a range of neutral earth tones, bright pops of color, and bold, timeless hues in crème formulas and shimmers. Every shade was inspired by what we love about nature and will empower you to take on the world. And that’s not all, we created an optional Top Coat designed to add extra shine and protection to your manis and pedis.

What are the natural ingredients?

Our non-GMO formula is made up of good-for-you plant and mineral-based ingredients like sugar cane, wheat, corn, and clay. Check out our ingredient story for even more information on the natural ingredients inside each bottle.

Is it sustainably packaged?

Nature Strong’s bottle and cap are made with 20% PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic, which means it’s made with recycled materials. We didn’t add any additional bleaching, so you’ll notice that every cap looks unique—there are imperfections like swirls of color or melted grey plastic which creates a taupe-like color that looks slightly different across each bottle.
