Hailing from Canada, Tuesday in Love had a really sweet origin story. The founder was in between jobs and was too poor to afford nail polish for his wife, but was researching on Halal nail polishes and found very little options. He then began experimenting with ingredients and finally found one that worked and presented a pink nail polish to his wife on a Tuesday.
Besides an extensive range of colours for their Halal nail polishes, Tuesday in Love also formulated their own lipsticks, foundations, mascara and eye shadow.
