BIPOC-founded brand LaPierre Cosmetics and DreamWorks teamed up for a Shrek-inspired nail polish collection that takes cues from the film's colorful cast of characters. The Shrek-ish collection features eight vibrant shades that are vegan, non-toxic and cruelty-free, and made without 10 harmful chemicals.
There's a mix of metallic and standard colors like Ba-Donkey Donk and the Dragon of Duloc, which capture the humor of the movie, as well as a lime green that shares the same name as the nail polish collection.
Notably, the Shrek-ish will be exclusively available on Instagram on October 25th to 31st. The nail polish collection celebrates the beloved franchise and speaks to fans who want to be reminded of favorite characters, funny moments and memories of the 2001 animated movie.
