It’s very possible that no one loves nail polish more than Lauren B. As a little girl, she often set up a nail salon in her garage, where she performed manicures for her grandmother, and any other family member willing to play along. She would set up her station at an old ironing board; while dressed in overalls, snap bracelets, jellies and rocking out to her favorite Spice Girls cassette. She begged her parents for rocks & minerals, art supplies, and new nail polish shades, which she mingled together in color groups. By the age of 15, she was yearning for the hottest colors and obsessing over the newest nail trends that kept her in Cape Cod convenience stores all summer while everyone else was at the beach.

As time went on, well-meaning grownups advised Lauren to bag manicuring and try a career in something like law or medicine. After graduating college and a year into perusing her career in medicine, she realized there was something missing. Lauren began working for a luxury hair care brand, and learned the ins and outs of the industry. Lauren seized this opportunity, and as she moved into the high-end beauty world, her knowledge for luxury brands, and interest in nail care evolved. “I was traveling a lot internationally, so I got to try polishes and ingredients from around the world,” she remembers. “If we were in a salon that had a manicurist, I was right there picking her brain and getting insider tips and tricks. The first thing I realized was that there was no perfect brand: Some lines had great colors but they didn’t last long enough. Others stayed put but contained harsh ingredients or gradually lost their shine. None of them offered the right balance of luxury and ease. That’s when the light bulb went off: I can make what’s missing. Shop now.

Along with the support from her husband, parents, close family and loved ones all whom inspired Lauren to make her dream a reality.  Lauren then carted her demanding wish list to the world’s top chemists and set about creating the perfect brand. The result, she says, is “the perfect, two-week, do-it-yourself manicure for busy women. The polishes swipe on expertly, easily. They dry fast, stay delightfully glossy and chip-free for at least 14 days, and don’t cost a fortune. Every color is one that I’d wear; every treatment is one that I swear by. There is even a collection of perfect nudes for every skin tone – though actually, I wear them all. Explore Lauren B. Beauty
