My Story

Why HELLO TOMATO was born.

Having been sensitive to toxins all my life, I’ve made a conscious change to using natural household cleaning goods, avoiding hair dyes, lash glue, and other products that contains strong chemicals.

For me, regular nail polish caused adverse reactions; onycholysis (nail lifting), eye dermatitis (swelling, itchiness, rashes), and onychomycosis (nail fungus). So I almost gave up wearing nail polish altogether. I tested countless supposedly non toxic nail polish, but even claims of 10 free contained Ethyl and Butyl Acetate, which still irritated my nails, skin, and eyes. As I looked deeper, I realized that I wasn’t the only one having a hard time finding an alternative that is free of possible irritants yet performs like regular polish. Unhappy with what was out there, I decided to create my own. The result; an odorless water based formula with vibrant color saturation, good consistency, and durability.

In the meantime, HELLO TOMATO is the first luxury water based nail brand with brilliant high gloss colors that lasts up to 5 days. It truly is the cleanest, gentlest, high performance nail polish that has all the features I’m happy with, and I hope that it’ll work for you too!

Here’s to tiny joy at the tip of our fingers.
