FOUNDER STORY

For many years, Rachel James was a student. She studied art, beauty, fashion + life. At the conclusion of her formal education, she embarked upon a journey to apply her life’s lessons with the creation of her brand, Pear Nova. After noticing a void in the representation of medium to dark skin tones in the nail world, she committed to not only bridging the gap but also celebrating that space. Since Pear Nova’s first launch in 2012, Ms. James has created classic + gel palettes inspired by some of her greatest teachers: sights of the world, sounds of her children + strength of female pioneers everywhere. “Pear Nova’s journey is far from complete, and I am learning to enjoy every step.”

“I collect nail polishes and your brand was suggested to me.  Literally just got them in the mail. I just wanted to say y’all did not  have to snap like you did with Michelle Our Mama. It is such a  beautiful nude for Black women!”

“I hate to admit this. I’ve had this gel polish on for a month... yes  the struggle is real, but it hasn’t chipped or cracked and most gel  polish would’ve come off by now. Great product!”

- Ashley
