Colours surround us, they speak a language of their own, revealing aspects of our personality and influencing our emotions. The choices we make in colours not only reflect our style but also convey subtle messages about who we are. Similarly, the colours we incorporate into our homes can create a mood and ambiance that resonates with our inner self.

We’ve teamed up with award winning eco brand, Earthy Nail Polish, to explore the power of colours and how they can be translated into the perfect palette for your nails as well as different rooms in your home.


Light blues | Icelandic Blue Dorothy

Choosing light blue for your nail colour means you’re friendly and approachable. This colour is also ideal for social spaces in the home such as living rooms and kitchens, creating a welcoming and inviting space. Or use it in a bedroom to help create a relaxing environment.

Pale pinks | Mayas rose Rosie Posie 

If you’re drawn to pale pinks for your nails, you’ll likely have a subtle and feminine playful energy. Our dusky colour Rosie Posie has a romantic and fun touch, it’s perfect for adding some personality to your bathroom or bedroom.

Reds are dramatic and bold, but they can also be timeless, as shown with Earthy’s Ruby Red. Reds are known to symbolise fire, passion and ooze confidence, making it great for a statement bedroom or to add colour in your living room.
