Witchy things & unicorns

Abby

Hiya! I'm Abby, your lover of all things witchy and unicorns. When I'm not working with differently-abled folks to secure job and educational opportunities, you'll find me playing games, listening to music, or reading a good book.

Finding the indie nail polish community has been the best thing I've ever done for my nails. They have always been bitten, short, and brittle. Now I can finally mix up my inspirations and wear them with confidence!

Cottagecore & earth tones

Brandi

Hello, I am Brandi, resident cottagecore and earth tone enthusiast of Arcana Lacquer! I love all things sheer, shimmery, and GREEN. I teach elementary art by day and work in the nail polish mines at night!

I love color! Mixing different combinations and seeing what comes out is my favorite part of the process. As a recovering nail biter, nail polish has saved my hands and acts as a form of meditative self-care. I hope you include our creations in your self-care routine as well!
