Let's nail it, shall we? June 1 is National Nail Polish Day, and no, it's not just for beauty influencers.
It's a full-blown celebration of colour, creativity and a bit of self-care at your fingertips (literally).
Born in the US but quickly embraced around the world, this beauty holiday encourages everyone to show off their mani game and try something bold, fun or totally different.
Whether it's a classic red, a nude so chic it hurts, or a neon design that screams Y2K revival, it's all about expressing yourself.
Social media lights up every year with the hashtag #NationalNailPolishDay, so if you've been waiting for a reason to try out that green shimmer or level up your at-home mani, now's your moment.
And in very good timing, Amazon Australia is serving up some serious deals on nail essentials.
