Hey Nu fam 👋

All colours now restocked!
Including:
Haunted
Rusted
Submerged
Tempest
First Sparkle
(Except for Hostile Melee Mob, which is now retired ⚰️) If anyone desperately wants her please lemme know and I can dig out my swatching bottle)

Alsoooo, my non-nail polish life is taking up 99% of my attention atm, so sadly we won't have a release for Xmas 2025. But! I'm planning on coming back strong for a sparkly Spring collection, and hopefully a big crimbo 2026.

Will still be having a wee Black Friday promotion 😎

Love you thank you byeeee xx

Nu is back for Halloweeeeen! This is the 'Nautical Umbridge' Halloween 2025 collection. I had this ghostly sunken shipwreck theme in my head since last year and am very happy to get it out 😆 I need an orange, a green, and a purple for Halloween, and I wanted to include some cold dreary icy shades too.

🚢Phantom Vessel – light blue glow in the dark shimmer and subtle holo flakes
🧜‍♀️Siren Song – Silver linear holographic with a variety of glowy aurora flakes
🗝️Rusted – Burnt orange base with black-red UCC flakes, yellow iridescent flakes, and black micro glitter
⛈️Tempest – Blue grey crelly base with green-blue UCC flakes, silver holo glitter and emerald green holographic micro glitter
⚓Submerged – Teal-purple shifting magnetic pigment in a deep violet/indigo base
🌊Rogue Wave – Navy linear holo with indigo colour shifting magnetic pigment
🐍Primordial Sea Serpent – Grungy yellow green with gold-red-purple UCC flakes and large particle blue shimmer

Etsy has just bugged out and won't let me edit the draft listings 😩 I'll try again in the morning, and will post a story when they're live. Have a spooopy night 👻🖤

I thought I should write an introductory post, since y'all might wanna know me and what I'm about.

Hi 👋 I'm Sarah. Lover of colours and nail polish.
I have a full time job in healthcare administration, and a wee beautiful 1.5yrold bambino.
I discovered indie nail polish a few years ago and became Obsessed. Multichromes and flakies blew my mind 🤯😆 There were colours and combos I wanted that weren't available, so I started mixing my own. After many months of planning and testing, I started Nu Nail Polish!

Seeing my lil creations out in the world, being enjoyed by you guys, is seriously the greatest honour 💕

AMA if you wanna know more! And tell me, what's your favourite type of indie polish? I love them all (except maybe jellies, haha)
