Do you LOVE how wearing nail polish changes the way you feel?
So do we. Especially when its better than five-free (eight-free!), cruelty-free and vegan nail polish.
As women who have busy lives, stressful jobs and pressure to have it all under control, we know that the key to being happy is not only taking time out to look after ourselves but to be conscious of caring for our environment too. More people than ever before are choosing products that reflect the philosophy of being good for them and the environment at the same time.
It’s this mindset and groundswell of people power that’s revolutionising the cosmetic industry and we are proud to stand up and be part of the revolution. It’s just one of the many reasons why we love Gloss and Co. nail polish.
What on Earth is 5-free or 8-free?
The term ‘five-free’ refers to the absence of 5 highly toxic chemicals that are often used in nail polish and you can read more about them here. Gloss and Co leave these nasties out as well as many others (hence the term eight-free) so that you can enjoy the healthier, cleaner version of nail polish that has people online rejoicing. They figure, why use toxins when you don't have to? Put simply, they are strong believers in creating beautiful non-toxic products that make buying healthy beauty products easier than ever. So you can enjoy our high quality, long lasting nail polish because it’s toxin-free and it’s available in all your favourite colours.
Do they test on animals you ask?
No way! Like you, we love animals! We have never and will never use animal products or test our products on them. It’s just not fair and it’s completely unnecessary. We love being cruelty-free!
Gloss and Co created their entire range of glossy, hard wearing and chip resistant vegan nail polishes and salon quality nail products right here in Australia with no harmful toxins, no animal ingredients and no animal testing. They believe all cosmetics and beauty products should be made this way and by looking after all those important things at our end for you means you can shop for your nail polish online with peace of mind. You just choose your favourite colours and paint away!
The Medical Ear, Nose Piercing System
...that makes professional ear & nose Safer & Easier
During the last 20 years the medical implications of piercing have changed dramatically.
Today ear, nose piercing carries with it the risk of life threatening blood viruses such as HIV and Hepatitis B, C and D.
The number of people suffering from nickel allergy has risen rapidly.
Consumers and authorities place ever increasing requirements on hygiene and safety.
Yet the equipment used for ear, nose piercing today is very much the same as the equipment used 20 years ago or more.
Having become aware of these facts Blomdahl could not resist the challenge of designing and manufacturing the world's safest ear, nose & navel piercing system!
The part which, on an old fashioned ear piercing gun, grips ear lobe after ear lobe, on ear after ear, nose after nose and customer after customer..... has been replaced with a sterilised disposable ENCAPSULATED CASSETTE.
This ENCAPSULATED CASSETTE contains one ear stud and one butterfly for one ear piercing operation (not two as with other systems). The customer can be certain that this sterile disposable cassette is used solely on him/her and no-one else.
Medical Plastic - 0% nickel
Medical Plastic is the only material for ear piercing with 0% nickel. With pure, medical plastic you can be assured that you will not be exposed to any nickel. Recommended for children and adults who want to be absolutely certain that they will not develop nickel allergy during the healing period.

What are ingrowns? Why do they occur?
Irritating and unsightly ingrown hairs can occur on any part of the body following hair removal. They begin when dead skin cells accumulate where hair removal has occurred and form a papule while the skin heals. Hair growing in the area then gets trapped under the papule and is prevented from exiting the skin properly creating an ingrown hair. If left untreated, ingrown hairs can result in pain, itching, tenderness and in some cases, infection and permanent scarring.
