Claws Out Polish

Who likes feminism?! Who is a feminist?! If you haven’t screamed for joy to both of those questions, you’re probably sad, alone, angry, and feel left behind by the world.

And if you refuse feminist ideals or the advocacy for women’s rights in support towards equality of the sexes and genders, you are also probably a hick with bad breath. Or an extremely overgrown child with deep internalized problems communicating and understanding. All in all, if you want to be a good person and have a good life: be a feminist. At least that’s my personal opinion and I’m doing pretty well.

Do you know what else I really love? Feminist products by feminist people.

As you can see, each of these nail polishes directly supports an organization dedicated to helping the rights and needs of every individual in the world. But not only do these all-American made products help an important cause, they also are made free of fish scales, animal testing and additive chemicals like Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate or Camphor. And to make things even better, even the premium labels on these bottle are created by an all women - owned local business.

I really love the shades of this nail polish line, each of the colors are versatile, useful and varying on the color wheel, supplying options for you to mix and match with your outfit. I personally love Darcelle because I love grey nail polish and the way it looks on my hands. I find that it compliments my skin tone really well, lasts a VERY long time, and doesn’t leave a hint of streakiness at all.
