Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our custom wholesale manufacturing service.
What's the difference between your service and regular wholesale nail polish?
Regular wholesale suppliers offer pre-made products with limited customization (usually just your label). We provide complete custom formulation - creating your unique formula from scratch, designing custom packaging, and handling all regulatory compliance. You own the formula, and no one else can replicate your exact product.
Can you match a specific Pantone color or create a custom shade?
Yes! Our R&D lab can match any Pantone color or create completely custom shades based on your description. We've created everything from "peacock feather shimmer" to "sunset ombre with gold flakes." Provide us with a color reference (photo, fabric swatch, Pantone code), and we'll formulate it.
Do you handle FDA and EU compliance?
Absolutely. We provide full regulatory compliance services:
- USA: FDA compliance, proper labeling, ingredient declarations
- Europe: EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009, CPNP notification, safety assessments
- Other markets: Canada, Australia, UK - we handle country-specific requirements
You receive a complete regulatory dossier ready for market launch anywhere in the world.

MOQ varies by product type:
- Gel polish: 500 units per color
- Regular polish: 1,000 units per color

For multi-color collections, you can mix and match to reach the MOQ (e.g., 250 units each of 4 colors for gel polish).

Yes! We specialize in:
- Vegan formulas: 100% plant-based, no animal-derived ingredients
