Nail polish and cosmetic bottle labels
Nail polish bottles are tiny, and their shade names matter most. A small label with a shade swatch, name and brand fits the bottle's flat face, while an outer box gets a larger label. Solvents can damage stickers, so apply to clean, dry glass and avoid contact with polish.

Good to know
Nail label planning
Shade names
Make the shade name the biggest text; shoppers choose by name and colour.
Solvent contact
Acetone and polish remover can damage labels. Keep them away from the label.
Tiny size
Check the bottle's flat label zone before you pick a size.
Set boxes
A collection box label with colour dots helps a set read as a set.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Gloss for polished colour; matte for a boutique look.
