ACCESS has a red base, shifting pink-red/orange shimmer, and various colors glitter. *dries textured, use a glitter grabber and/or thick top coat*

- Opaque in 2 coats, dries textured. Layer this under its partner topper, Hyp +, for a fun color-revealing experience!

- We recommend always using a base coat to prevent staining. Use one of our top coats to seal mani and increase longevity and shine. *all swatch photos shown with polish layered under a top coat*

- This is a 21-free formula (free of 5+ common toxic ingredients often found in mainstream polish including toluene).*

- Each nail polish is created in small batches to ensure freshness and longevity. Due to the handmade nature of this product, slight inconsistencies can be expected.

INSPIRATION
Made in collaboration with Catherine from @trieditforscience. More on the inspiration behind this duo from Catherine:

“This collaboration represents our shared commitment to supporting the broader connective tissue-disease community and advancing understanding and treatment of these interconnected conditions.
As someone living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), I chose a black-to-white thermal topper ("Hyp +") to depict the zebra that represents EDS and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSDs). I chose a red base ("ACCESS") because I like bright, flashy, warm reds. Red also represents raging emotions and blood vessels.
Navigating the healthcare, societal, and governmental roadblocks to management of "rare" (quotes because many are not rare) diseases can make one feel a bit fiery under the surface of our "zebra" disability. I have numerous blood vessel abnormalities from EDS. I also wanted a thermal because it can show circulation in real time and remind us to increase our circulation and/or warm our extremities.
This collaboration goes much deeper than one diagnosis, however. Hyp+Access serves a constellation of interconnected conditions that share common threads through our connective tissues. These conditions are part of a complex web that affects far more people than traditional medical criteria recognize.“

CHARITY
$2 from every purchase of this polish will be donated to Hyp Access and matched up to $200 by Catherine. More on this awesome organization’s mission:

“Creating care access for connective tissue related disorders and overlapping conditions, including but not limited to “hypermobility”

Hyp+Access is a disabled-led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization by and for people with variant connective tissue – a vast group of people with intersecting experiences, all in urgent need of care access. We are a team of autistic queers who love the arts as much as increasing access to care!”

SHIPPING
- Due to shipping constraints, polish can only be shipped via Ground. Rush shipping is not available.

- Sometimes bottles leak slightly during transit- if there is a small amount of polish on the threads of a bottle you receive, that’s normal! Your polish is still completely new and usable.

- All sales are final unless product is damaged during shipping process. If there’s an issue with your order, please reach out and I’ll do my best to make it right.

- Disclaimer: Due to variations of screen resolutions (including but not limited to colors and brightness on computers and mobile devices) the actual color of this polish may slightly vary to what you see in the product photos. AHP polishes are created in small batches, each individual batch may vary slightly.

*What does 21-free mean? My nail polishes are vegan and free from these potentially harmful ingredients: animal products, toluene, benzene, xylene, formaldehyde releaser, formaldehyde resin, phtalates, and more.
