The evening of February 28 will mark the onset of Ramadan 2025. As always, the Holy Month invites all to step back from busy calendars and embark on a journey of thirty days of fasting, with self-reflection and prayer taking the forefront.
That being said, Ramadan is also a time of reconnecting with loved ones. From suhoor gatherings to iftars that carry on into the wee hours of the night, the coming month promises to be full of special moments where you can put your best foot forward.
It comes as no surprise, then, that halal beauty is quickly becoming a much-searched term online as the days inch closer to Ramadan. Halal nails, in particular, are a topic of much interest, with a new wave of mindful brands now offering up effective — and beautiful — options that may just become mainstays in your arsenal well after Eid al-Fitr.
What are halal nail polishes?
Simply put, halal nail polishes offer a breathable alternative to traditional nail paint formulas, allowing water to touch the natural nail during traditional — and necessary — practices like wudhu to allow the body to be adequately cleansed before prayer. Furthermore, halal nail polishes must be created using 100% traceable ingredients, free of alcohol and extreme chemicals. If a nail polish — or any cosmetic product, for that matter — does include animal-derived ingredients, they must be sourced following halal protocol.
What are some of the most well-known halal nail polish brands?
While the research behind halal nail paints continues, some brands have already launched Ramadan-friendly products that deserve a spot on your radar. While Polish beauty house Inglot can now proudly state that it is 95% halal certified (with a special range of vegan nail polishes for Muslim beauty lovers), USA-based 786 Cosmetics boasts a completely halal collection of nail shades.
