It's not often you get to see a friend fulfill their vision and dream. Adrienne Wonzo started Virago Varnish in September of 2014. Not knowing there was a world of indie polish, she pursued her dream of creating a line that was 5 free, BEFORE it was mandated. She decided to do this because it was safer for her and her clients. Knowing the long-term effects of DBP and formaldehyde, this is something I can appreciate. We got to chat over a last-minute manicure, I mean seems fitting right? Here’s what she had to say:
Greatest influences now?
Currently micro-glitter nail polishes influences me the most. Customers are going crazy over our micro glitter polishes.
Current trend that I love:
Coffin and stiletto shaped nails are two awesome shapes that enhance the polish. These two would have to be my favorite trend.
Current trend that I hate:
Duck feet nails are on the top of that list.
(I would have to agree. There's nothing cute about duck feet nails. And if you don't know what they are, that's a good thing.)
An old Trend that I'd like to see come back:
I'd love to see nail piercing come back. I love the look of a pierced stiletto nail.
(Ha, this takes me back to high school.)
Projected trend:
I think earth tones are going to be big next year.
Three must haves:
Polish remover
Cuticle oil
Light colored creme polish
Favorite magazine :
Nailit, naturally
Favorite actor:
Bette Davis, I love all her movies.
For now Adrienne has no desire to sell her line to a bigger company. She still hand makes this line and wants to keep that personal touch active.
