* * *

Your Name: Janice Lovejoy

Brand Name: The Polish Bar

Where are you from? San Francisco, California

When have you started? March 201

Is there a story behind the name of your brand? There isn't really a story behind it but I have always dreamed of a store or "bar" full of indie polishes where I could go and try on polishes. I guess that is where the name came from.

How many polishes/collections have you created? My first release was just a few polishes. Most of these have been discontinued now. From there, I started releasing collections.

My first full collection was the Color Play collection (summer 2012), then the Late Summer collection (late summer 2012), Halloween collection (fall 2012), Holiday 2012 collection (winter 2012), and my latest which is the Winter 2013 collection (just released two weeks ago).

All in all, I think I have created about 35-40 polishes.

Is there a special polish/collection? Why? I will always cherish my Color Play collection as it was my first cohesive collection. Satellite and Ultraviolet will always be special as well. They are two of my best sellers.

Where you a polish addicted before starting making polishes? Yes, definitely. I started collecting polishes several years ago and got into indies in late 2011. From there, I became interested in creating my own.

Did you have a blog before making polishes or have you started one after? No, I don't have a blog.

Whats your favorite thing about making polishes? The glitter! I really love playing with the different glitters and creating unique combinations.

Can you tell us a curious thing that has happened to you with some client or something funny? Sorry, I don't have anything for this one!

Is there anything you'd Like to share: Please support indie polishes and makers!
