Let’s Get Lacquered…

My vegan, cruelty-free lacquer was created with the idea that high performance doesn’t have to mean compromising your ethics. BW lacquer is 100% made in the USA (no human trafficking in our supply chain!) with 100% USA sourced raw ingredients. I am beyond proud to have created lacquer free of the top 11 carcinogenic toxins commonly found in nail products. My lacquer is formulated for high shine and long wear…without the nasty ingredients.

Making its way to you from Portland, Oregon, BW lacquer is shipped in minimalistic packaging that is 100% recyclable/compostable. ZERO plastics are used…bye-bye nasty plastic film!

How it started…

Born, raised and thriving in Oregon, I have spent my career as a performing artist, ballroom dance instructor and choreographer. After 20 years as a dance professional, I dreamt up my very first pro-wear lacquer collection with a vision of vivid, opaque hues sought by performing artists...but available to all! Complimenting the richly pigmented hues and electric neons, BetterThanBuff is the crowning jewel of all my collections - BTB features 12 nude hues that compliment an array of skin tones, with a rich variety of both warm and cool undertones.

Supply Chain

Do you know where your nail lacquer comes from? Or who makes it? Check it out before you buy - you may be surprised by what the big brands have to say about their supply chain. BallroomWorks nail lacquer is made right here in the USA, of USA-sourced ingredients. Your order is mailed from Portland, Oregon straight to you. No sweatshops, forced labor, underage labor or human trafficking involved. Human rights > higher profit margins.

OPI: “…does not regularly conduct audits of its suppliers to evaluate, specifically, suppliers' compliance with company standards for human trafficking, slavery and forced or child labor“

There are other vegan/cruelty-free lacquers out there, but not as high-performing or luxe as BW Nails. Can’t wait to get more colors!

I’m head over heels for the Ballet Series by BW – I use it regularly because I genuinely love it. The Pink Tulle, Velvet Ribbons, Tights, and Dream En Pointe shades are so beautiful; they’re simply stunning. Plus, the best part? They dry incredibly quickly, which is a game-changer for me.

BallroomWorks colors are unique. Hard to believe, since the salons seem to have hundreds! Better Than Buff 2 is perfect for a sheer look that has just the right amount of light beige, and The Rumba Room is a unique, rich and deep plum color. It is important to me that the polish is made in the USA and is cruelty free.
