Shopping Guide

Here is all the stuff I know about where to buy awesome things from awesome people, all in one place! Please note: This is by no means a complete list of all the awesome things available everywhere - I'm only listing brands I have personally bought from, and would recommend. If you see any information on these brands that I've missed, please drop me a line at thereluctantfemme@gmail.com


This list will be updated as I discover new awesome things!


Indie Polish
Note on the international shipping of nail polish: most countries require a special license to ship polish internationally, as it's considered a hazardous good. Many local indie polish makers can only make their polish available to customers outside their own country through resellers who have the relevant license. Some makers will ship internationally on request however, and if this is available I have made a note on their listing. The countries listed next to each store are the country they are based in.
