About us

  • In January 2019, I got my nails done to kick off the new year with a fresh, neutral look. Unfortunately, the color looked terrible on me. I knew I’d be stuck with it for weeks. Even worse, by the time next year rolled around, I’d forget the name of that shade and probably make the same mistake again.
  • I wanted an easy way to track the colors I tried, but posting every manicure to Instagram wasn’t for me, and my phone’s Notes app wasn’t cutting it. So I built Polished.
  • With Polished, you can save and revisit your manicure history, explore what others are wearing, keep a “want to try” list, and even shop polishes - all in one place. Since launching in the Apple App Store in January 2022, our community of manicure enthusiasts has been growing every day.
  • Polished has been featured in Real Simple, Well+Good, Social Life Magazine, and The Skimm.

Polish colors we're loving for November

PLUM

A rich, dark purple is a perfect moody color as we head into colder weather.

Consider shades like ela+mila "Little Plum Dress", OPI's "Yes, My Condor Can-Do" or essie "Bahama Mama."

BROWN

Another staple for fall, we're seeing brown all over fashion - bags, shoes, accessories. So why not have nails to match?

Try OPI "Flannel Aerobics", après "Serengeti Plains" or CND "Leather Goods"

DEEP RED

Red nails are a good idea year round. But for the fall, we love gravitating towards the deeper shades.

Some of our favorites include OPI "Got the Blues for Red", "Chick Flick Cherry" or après "Plum out of luck."

Don't forget these colors before you head to the salon.
