About Nail Polish Direct

Nail Polish Direct: salon nail products sold online

Nail Polish Direct is a British online retailer specialising in nail care and nail cosmetics. Its catalogue is built around salon-professional brands and covers both the products used by nail technicians and those aimed at home users. The company presents itself as an official stockist of salon-quality nail care products sourced from brands around the world.

The retailer describes itself as the largest stockist of nail polish in Europe, a claim that appears in its own presentation and is supported by the figure it gives of more than five thousand nail polish colours. It also states that it is an official UK stockist and that it dispatches orders the same day, with next-day delivery available.
