Created and founded by Portia Mathis, BarBella Co. was born due to a lack of representation of women of color in the nail care industry. We primarily focus on the creation of innovative and safe nail products, which provides & creates a lasting nail experience. We want to help inspire a sociable experience!
Who said nails did not have to be FUN! Trendy colors and innovative nail products are our passion. We strive to deliver high quality, non-toxic, and at least 5-free products to nail artists/salons all over the globe.
Our goal is to redefine the status quo by diversifying the nail care industry with people in under-represented communities locally & globally.
