China Glaze Nail Lacquer

China Glaze is a globally recognized professional nail care brand known for its high-quality lacquers and innovative color collections. The brand was established in 1998 by Worldwide Cosmetics. Its unique name and identity are inspired by the use of China Clay (kaolin) as a nail hardener, which is the same material used to give porcelain its distinctive shiny and durable finish.

In 2005, the brand was acquired by American International Industries (AII), a major player in the beauty industry based in Los Angeles. Under AII's ownership, China Glaze expanded from a professional-only salon product to a widely available retail brand found in major beauty stores. Most China Glaze products are primarily manufactured in the United States, maintaining a focus on being free from harmful chemicals like DBP, toluene, and added formaldehyde.
