- A nail polish pen is a brush-tip twist applicator filled with nail polish — here, 3 ml of water-based polish.
- Water-based formula: air-dries with no UV lamp and removes easily, so changing colors is simple.
- In production in a wide shade library; shipping to brand customers worldwide.
- Available turnkey for private label: your label on the pen, your retail packaging.
The newest format to leave our production floor is the nail polish pen: our water-based nail polish filled into a 3 ml brush-tip twist pen. The pens are coming off the line in a wide shade range and are now shipping to brand customers worldwide.
Why brands are switching to pens
A twist pen meters out just enough polish for one application, so there is no open bottle to spill, thicken or dry out. The brush tip gives controlled, tidy application anywhere — which makes the pen format a natural fit for travel sets, beginner-friendly kits and on-the-go touch-ups. For the wearer it is the simplest version of our water-based system: air-dry, no UV lamp, and easy to remove and re-apply when they want a new color.
One format, a full shade library
The production photo above shows the current shade spread — wine and berry reds, plums, olive, sky blue, mint and soft neutrals, with more shades matched on request. As with all our programs, the pens are produced turnkey for your brand: your label design on the pen, your retail packaging, one production partner from formula to finished goods.
