People Of Color is here with their new Fall 2021 Collection, Native Wellness. It includes 5 earthy tones that create a sense of relaxation and inner peace. As we continue to adjust to the "new normal" caused by the pandemic, it's important now (more than ever) to stop and take a breath.
People Of Color is an independent nail polish brand that was created with an important goal in mind...to create nail colors suitable for brown skin tones. Their polish is made to complement various skin tones as a first thought, not an afterthought.
Another thing we love about People Of Color's collections, is that they are typically inspired by history. The Native Wellness collection was inspired by the various plants Native American tribes used to use for food, medicine, and other purposes. Let's check out the inspiration behind these gorgeous colors. Before we proceed, it's important to note that People Of Color provided the facts below for educational purposes only. It is advised that you seek a medical professional regarding the actual uses of the plants.
