Australian made and owned, Soshan’s formulas utilise active ingredients to promote better lashes and nails. The brand’s Nourish Nail product is 90 per cent natural and targets weak, dry nails.

Italian brand FABY is a nail powerhouse - providing more than 200 lacquer shades, treatment products, and lacquer gels, plus a men’s collection. The cruelty-free brand also prides itself on steering clear from DBP, toluene, formaldehyde and camphor.
