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.
