Small business owner myself (hand dyed yarn) here. What I've learned is that customers are often a lot more forgiving about little things than we imagine they'll be, and that no one cares about our self imposed deadlines as much as we do 😅 The quality of the product is always way more valued than the presentation. And as far as time goes- everything happens exactly when it's supposed to, somehow. You're doing great, and you're going to keep evolving here and there over the years. I changed my logo and my name and even what I offer about 3x before I finally got comfortable and settled into a brand identity I could live with. Customers who have been with you from the start usually enjoy watching you grow and are super helpful with feedback and what not. You're gonna be fine ❤
I love this video about your business and about all the things going right or wrong and your feelings. Even the pricing mentions. Thank you. As someone who wants a polish brand as well it’s so nice to see and hear and a lot of this talk helps me feel better. I hope you continue to vlog your journey.
We love you!! You could have a channel talking about what kind of cheese you like and the polish to pair it with and I would watch! Ugh sorry about the delays!! But it is a part of business-but it sucks! YAY! I am so glad you signed up to be a vendor!! I am especially glad that you didn’t talk yourself out of doing it. Yes, the year is FLYING BY! It is scary. I am so happy that you are living your dream❤
You are a smart woman and I believe that you will do great. Everything is going to be alright. You can and will do this. You will figure things out. You know, since you mentioned it, I have not seen a winter collection from any brands either.
I think it’s great to have a business doing something you love. Looking forward to see what your next collection will be. Many small businesses use stickers on their bottles, your brand label is great it really was the better choice. I’ll support you as much as I financially can, I love polish. Your bottle tops are so cute, unfortunately I can’t afford the other brand that does that, as the price is to high,I know the handmade art is part of it but, after all it’s all about the polish for me. I wish you the best success with your new endeavor. P.S. I love my Crayon collection 🖍️
Oh the second logo is sooo much more you! Starting a business isn't easy but look at you!!! You are doing it!! Can't wait for the November collection! 💜
Looks like you’re doing a fine job. Sorry you’re having to wait to launch. As time goes on I’m sure things will get easier. Best wishes for getting a vendor spot and best of luck on your next launch.
The crayon collection has a very good formula compared to other brands, its duration is excellent, and the application is super easy. I hope the new collection is as good as that one.
Fingers crossed you get you space! I don't think it's too costly at all for all the people that will see your collection. And peeling the labels off may help with your anxiety 😅💜
Hi Janixa… just a random thought.. I’m 58 and have been a nail polish collector ( addict 😉 ) for many years.. and I see I am not alone.. I’ve often wondered what the fascination was for me and I can only think that I am simply in love with colors 💕 All the endless options with finishes as well… what are your thoughts ? I wish you much happiness with your business 🥰 Jan
Thank you so much! I think I agree with you! Colors brighten up my day and mood. Also, it’s a little bit of self care I can do that doesn’t require too much out of me like leaving the house lol

Janixa, do you have stickers for the back of the bottle with ingredients?
Ingredients can be found on my website.
Looks like you’re doing a fine job. Sorry you’re having to wait to launch. As time goes on I’m sure things will get easier. Best wishes for getting a vendor spot and best of luck on your next launch.
Thank you Lisa! 💜
I love the logo you decided to go with. Good choice! 👍🏻
You always have my support and I’m looking forward to your November collection! 🤗
Thank you so much! 💜

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you have enjoyed them! 💜
I hope you can get a spot in American Antique Mall. What state did you apply for a spot in? Just curious if it's in Illinois.
It is in Illinois!
@naillacquertherapy my family lives in Illinois. I visit every few months for a couple of weeks.
Orly winter collection is out in Color Pass. It's Apres Ski themed.
Yes I saw. Usually those who get PR have it by now though.
Fingers crossed you get you space! I don't think it's too costly at all for all the people that will see your collection. And peeling the labels off may help with your anxiety 😅💜
Haha it’s not too bad!

Would you consider doing PPU in the future?! that would be sooo fun!
I don’t know! Maybe one day.
It’s not work if you love it so have fun & enjoy your journey.
I agree! 💜
