Credits/History:
In 2012, I was determined to find and learn about every indie polish shop. I looked on blogs, through google, and several message boards for a complete list with links and names and it simply didn't exist. The closest I could find was a board post on MUA Feb 22, 2012 by haayleyy. The list was alphabetical, with no links and contained a total of 27 polish shops.
Since I was not able to find a single source with a complete hyperlinked list of shops, I decided to create my own. I got permission to use haayleyy's list as a starting point and began researching to find each of the brands' online shop links and then I published the full list here on February 23, 2012. xoxojen.com is the blog home of the original indie shop links list.
I have since added/removed well over 800 shops to my list. On occasion, the list is checked to remove broken links, change links, and remove shops that have not been active for several months or have closed. My list will never be all inclusive, but it's a really good start.
I hope you find the list useful and thanks for the visit!
AeviternityCreations might be gone
ReplyDeleteAlchemy Lacquers has their own dot com domain
Ari Nail Lacquer's domain has expired - This domain is pending renewal or has expired. Please contact the domain provider with questions.
Roar Nails (listed as Aurora) closed their doors in Feb of 2024. Both the website and their facebook say they have gone out of business.
CamouflagedPolish is closed, as per Instagram. "Thanks for all your support. Off to new ventures 😘"
Crystal Knockout Nail polish has changed their url to include the word 'universe'. Current URL is something in Thai. Probably gambling.
Deleteupdated the url for Crystal Knockout Universe on master list, will publish when all updated.
DeleteCared for all of these, will be reflected in next update:
DeleteAeviternity Lacquer
Alchemy - updated url
Aurora
Camouflaged Polish
Ari - was temporary, keeping on the list
Hi, the following links no longer work: 77 Nail Lacquer, Ari Nail Lacquer, Astrologie Beauty, Bedford and Grove, Blush Lacquer, Butterfly Polish (not sure if temporary), Crystal Knockout, Different Dimension Polish, Dollish Polish, Easter Mia, Ellagee Polish
ReplyDeleteGoing out of business: Aliquid
No longer selling: CraveNailPolish
Not anon, but I'd like to add IMK has officially closed. In 2023, she made a post on instagram stating she shut down due to a series of personal issues.
DeleteCrystal Knockout changed URLs to Crystal Knockout Universe.
DeleteThese will be cared for in the next update.
DeleteDollish appears to be gone
ReplyDeleteWill remove on next update. They closed.
DeleteJreine is on Etsy :)
ReplyDeleteIts store has been closed since 2022.
DeleteI apologise if that sounded a bit blunt.
DeleteSorry if I sounded the same in my reply, lol. Happy 2025 ;)
DeleteOh, you're totally fine. I hope your 2025 is going well, too.
DeleteI didn't find them anywhere, removing link.
DeleteThere is a new Portuguese polish brand called Nothing Basic.
ReplyDeleteI've got them added to my master list. Once I've gone through all these I'll load the refreshed list here.
DeleteThere's also this one: LOUD Lacquers, https://loudbabbs.com/
ReplyDeleteThere was a reason I didn't add Loud to my list. I need to do a bit of research, but would you happen to know if they are handmade or lab created? There are a few polish companies that pose as indie, when in fact, they have a large manufacturer, like Forsythe, making their polish for them via private label/wholesale.
DeleteI do not know, I just bought polish from them.

I appreciate the list. Did they move or is there evidence of them all shutting down and closing? I know that Envy was just on a break for a bit, they're coming back. I'll go through each of these when I have the time, which is incredibly rare these days.
DeleteRed Panda closed about 2 years ago. It was mentioned on the Indie Makeup and More subreddit.
DeleteI don't know if they moved or what, it's just websites don't open anymore or open to some unrelated, other websites, like gambling or something.
DeleteThese will all require research through facebook, IG, and Google to determine whether they closed, moved, are on hiatus, or just ghosted. I don't remove sites when a page doesn't work without researching further. Otherwise this list would be quite small.
DeleteI understand it's a lot of work. It's just so frustrating to go through a long list with so many dead links when' you're looking to buy something.
DeleteThese ones don't seem to sell nail polish anymore:
