10 Pros & Cons of launching a beauty brand with Nail Polish

Everybody loves Nail Polish.

Young & mature alike, nail salons are always crowded with fans that want to adorn their favorite colors.
Almost every spa party or DIY Girls/Guys Night In features some kind of mani/pedi with a myriad of pigment, cotton puffs, buffers, and bling for nail art to come alive.

Manufacturing your own cosmetics brand is an endeavor that requires years of commitment & excellence.



Here are the Pros & Cons (mainly Pros though!) of launching a Nail Polish Collection from a pre-made Base.

1. It's lower risk
Nail Polish has a lower risk of causing skin irritations

2. It's got a low start up cost
A few ingredients and a set of bottles & brushes is all you need

3. You can see if this is something you really want to do
There are basic steps involved, although necessary, to create a beautiful line. It's an easy way to find out if you like the processes involved enough to complete/supervise the tasks day after day.

4. It's small
16 ounces of finished product can yield up to 30 bottles of polish and more; you can double & triple this amount in a small amount of time and be ready to sell in a snap.

5. You get to experiment with basic pigments
Color cosmetics involves working with powder pigment and that can be messy. Well, it's messy! You can give it a try to confirm color cosmetics manufacturing is right for you. You get to experiment with blending, and if you want, you'll be better equipped for manufacturing other color cosmetics!

6. You can test your niche
Do you have a loyal following that will consistently purchase color cosmetics from your collection? Nail Polish manufacturing is a low-cost way to find out.

7. There are fumes
Nail Polish has fumes so Nail Polish Manufacturing has more fumes. There are fans & filters to help out, but adequate ventilation is an absolute must.
You are responsible for the health & safety of your staff and this must be considered constantly.

8. It costs extra to ship
Nail Polish is 'flammable' and can only be shipped via ground transportation (in the USA, that includes only the 48 contiguous states, assuming you live in one of the included 48)

9. Everybody loves Nail Polish
Pretty much. If you have a niche market, you can have an amazing brand with JUST NAIL POLISH!

10. It's so fun
We think so. It's kind of relaxing. Mixing & pouring vibrant fluids and lining them up on a shelf. We're obsessed!
