Y2K-Inspired Nail Polishes

Gelcare's Y2K Polish Was Inspired by Nostalgia

GELCARE's Y2K nail polish collection pays homage to the early 2000s, taking particular inspiration from icons like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. GELCARE produces non-toxic polishes that are bold in color, having just released a holiday collection last December. This new color range is perfect for those who need something a little different, as it boasts hues that are nostalgic yet of-the-times.

Puprle Haze, for example is a dreamy pink-purple option that's sheer and shimmering. Meanwhile, 'Euphoria' takes on darker hues, boasting deep colorways and bold gold glitter. Moreover, Rose Water and Extraaa have a jelly-like finish with touches of a holographic aesthetic.

GELCARE’s Y2K capsule is available to shop online, with the colorway Purple Haze having a later launch date.
