The brand is best known for its interpretive heirloom jewelry and jazzy nail polish shades. Its exhibit-inspired range of nail polishes boasts vibrant colors, unlike J.Hannah's typical colorway range. The team used colors to guide the range towards a surrealist representation. Dubbed the Met Surrealist Polish Set, it features a black pearl, a glittery metallic shade, and other unique colors. They have been described as "twists on vivid shades that were at once familiar and slightly strange, like a dream you can't quite remember," by brand founder Jess Hannah Revesz.
