About Nail Formula

ABOUT NAIL FORMULA

Nail Formula is a curated destination for professional nail products, education, and creative inspiration — bringing standout Asian nail brands, innovative products, and emerging techniques closer to the North American nail community.

Based in Richmond, British Columbia, we serve nail artists, salons, educators, creators, students, and nail enthusiasts both in-store and online.

Our goal is simple: to make it easier to discover great products, understand how to use them, and find the right tools for your craft.

MORE THAN A NAIL SUPPLY STORE

The nail industry is constantly evolving. New formulas, colors, textures, tools, techniques, and creative trends are always emerging — especially across the Asian nail market.

Nail Formula was created to bring more of that innovation and creativity to the North American nail community in one thoughtfully curated destination.

But discovering a great product is only the beginning. We believe understanding how a product works, where it fits into a service, and what you can create with it is just as important.

That is why product discovery and education are both at the heart of Nail Formula.

HOW WE CURATE

We do not believe that more products automatically mean better choices.

When exploring products and brands for Nail Formula, we consider factors such as professional performance, ease of use, versatility, design, value, and relevance to today's nail artists.

Some products become everyday salon essentials. Others introduce a new effect, texture, technique, or creative possibility that we believe is worth discovering.

We also learn through hands-on use, demonstrations, customer feedback, educator input, and real salon experience to better understand how different products can fit into practical nail services.

Because Nail Formula carries products from multiple independent brands, formulas, ingredients, and product characteristics vary by manufacturer. Please review the information provided on each product page and choose products according to your individual needs and services.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Professional Performance
Beautiful packaging and colors matter, but performance matters more. We look for products that make sense in real nail services and professional workflows.

Creative Possibility
From magnetic gels and functional bases to nail art materials, tools, and emerging techniques, we love products that give nail artists more ways to create.

Practical Education
A great product becomes even more valuable when you understand how to use it. Through free online tutorials, demonstrations, product guides, and in-person workshops, we connect product discovery with practical knowledge and technique.

Thoughtful Discovery
There is always something new in the nail industry, but not every new product needs to be part of your collection. We aim to make discovery easier by highlighting products, techniques, and ideas that offer something useful, interesting, or inspiring.

BUILT AROUND THE NAIL COMMUNITY

Nail Formula is built around the people who actually use the products.

Whether you are an independent nail artist, salon owner, educator, content creator, student, or simply passionate about nail art, we want Nail Formula to be a place where you can discover something new and feel inspired to create with it.

We also believe some of the best product knowledge comes from conversation. Feedback from our customers, students, creators, educators, and working nail artists helps us understand what our community is looking for and what we should explore next.

EDUCATION & WORKSHOPS

Education is an important part of Nail Formula.

We share free online tutorials and demonstrations covering product application, nail techniques, nail art, and creative ideas.

We also host paid in-person workshops in Vancouver from time to time, giving nail artists the opportunity to learn techniques, work with products hands-on, and create together.

As Nail Formula grows, we look forward to bringing our workshops and education to more cities and connecting with more nail communities.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to build Nail Formula into a trusted destination for professional Asian nail products, education, and creative discovery in North America.

Not simply a place with more products — but a place where products connect with technique, education, inspiration, and real-world nail artistry.

As the industry continues to evolve, we will keep exploring what is new, useful, creative, and worth sharing with our community.
