Our Story
"Nail polish was this one subject that just continuously came back up. Obviously, I’ve been wearing polish for 20 years. It started probably in 1998, that was the first time I started wearing black nail polish and then Josh and I started talking. It just slowly but surely became this reality that hey, we should do this! And we CAN do this. Then, the real inspiration came from both of my girls." - AJ McLean
