Arlene is happiest when using her hands and head. Making pottery satisfies that need and she finds it a personal challenge to make each piece work. It has also taught her patience and the ability to accept misfortune as nothing is complete until it comes out of the kiln. Arlene loves creating items that are handmade, so you can imagine someone making them and appreciate the beauty of the skill and happy accidents gone into it. No two pieces are ever identical and so each one is unique!

Siána, the founder behind BEAU Polish, noticed that there was a lack in bold and bright colours available and so wanted to bring pops of colour for every occasion to the market, she believes strongly that colour is an unbiased medium in which we can fully express ourselves and wanted to ensure that everyone was catered for. Each nail varnish is handmade with love, vegan and has a UK supply change with new more easily recyclable caps arriving shortly. Siána also supports the charity Switchboard!
