Iris Unique was inspired by her own experiences having her nails done to launch a a new line of raw, natural crystals for use in nail art. “I have been selling crystals online for the past three years and have been getting my acrylics done since my hands are always in photos for my crystal business,” she explains. “I had been frustrated at the lack of availability of raw natural crystals for nails.”
The line has launched with four stones, each said to feature individual healing properties. Shungite, a matte black stone, is said to have detoxification and purification qualities and to shield from EMFs from cell phones, computers, and microwaves. Pink Aventurine is said to bring happiness, prosperity, and love. Selenite, a white, cleanses the aura of negative energy build up, and wards off negative energy. Amethyst has a calming, anti-stress effect.
The stones are 100% genuine raw gemstones, containing no fillers or dyes. They are uniform in size, and each come in a glass jar with seven grams of raw crystals. The healing properties are listed on the bottom of the jar so that the nail artists don't have to try to memorize what each stone does for their customers.
