Why It’s Cult

“The allure? Nourished, natural nails without the potential pitfalls of polish.” – Zoe Ruffner, VOGUE

“An interest in health is still novel in the nail care space. In place of nail polish, consumers are turning toward a new category: nail wellness.” – Jessica DeFino, The New York Times

“To me, there’s nothing chicer than a shiny, buffed nail. It’s like no-makeup makeup for your hands. It says, I put time into my appearance, but I’m not trying to cover anything up.” – Ali Oshinski, INTO THE GLOSS

Bare Hands The Dry Gloss Manicure

Meet Suzanne, founder of Bare Hands

I’ve always loved the look of natural nails and found that caring for them in an intentional way really changed how I saw myself. The need for natural goes way back to art school when I learned that many solvents for oil-based paint weren’t healthy. I felt that if those solvents weren’t good for fine art use, then surely similar products couldn’t be good for my overall health.

I began talking to people about their habits and researching new methods to solve this problem. Soon it became clear that a lot of women didn’t like the way their nails looked most of the time, and none of them had methods to care for them in a truly natural way. For the many of us that spend time working with our hands in studios, kitchens and offices, I wanted an alternative to salon manicures that just weren’t a sustainable solution.

After 2 years of development, I now have the method that I’m truly proud of that is not only healthier for you, but gives people an easier way to care for themselves at home.

I believe The Dry Gloss Manicure should be accessible to everyone, so it’s priced to be less than the cost of one salon visit. I hope that this expands your notion of what polished can feel like and becomes another stage in your clean beauty journey.

Are all Bare Hands products vegan?
All of the cuticle oils in our line are completely vegan. The balm in the pedicure kit contains beeswax, therefore is not vegan. Since none of the products contain paint, so they are all entirely Wudhu friendly, letting water pass freely through the nail.

Conscious credentials?
All of our products are Sulfate and Paraben Free.

All Cuticle Oils are gluten free. Please check ingredients for each scent variation — we use both and sesame and almond oil to formulate. Our Vitamin E oil is derived from 100% non-GMO sunflower seeds – no corn or soy – and are considered non-allergenic.

Are your products and packaging sustainable?
Many of our products, such as the pouch, are intended for use over a long period of time. All of the Bare Hands carton and packing materials are recyclable. The Polisher is made with more than one material and therefore cannot be recycled. However, unlike paint-based polishes, it does not need to be disposed of as toxic waste. Our sustainability mission is focused on reducing the ubiquitous use of toxic paints and solvents on a global scale.

FAQ

How long does The Polisher last?
The Polisher will last 6 to 9 months depending on the frequency use and whether or not you use it on both your fingernails and toenails.

Does the Dry Gloss Manicure thin the nail?
The nail plate has a few cell layers of extremely hard keratin. The Polisher removes this superficial layer to create the shine. To ensure that your nails retain their thickness, allow for them to grow back to dull before re-polishing. For nails of medium thickness, use the Polisher weekly. For those with thinner nails, this can be up to 4 weeks for the nail to grow out completely. Each person’s nails are different, so this regrowth will be unique to you.

How is this different from a block buffer?
We’re glad you asked. The abrasive material of The Polisher is made with harder, more precise materials than the traditional “sandpaper” buffer. The Polisher is a one-step process.
