Damla ÖZDEMİR um ever consider they want to keep their recipe secret?

[@whyyousomadtho5371]

First the board team collaborates on the color, then they test the color and wear by letting one of the team members try it on. Finally if it passes the test it gets mass produced. Pretty simple actually.

They can’t expose their formula or people will steal and copy.

In general, for those who are interested, nail polish consists mainly of nitrocellulose (nitro lacquer), volatile solvents and, unless it is a clear lacquer, colored pigments.

The metal ball inside the nail polish is for mixing when the nail polish gets its oil separated from the paint, so you mix it and then it goes back to normal
