About the brand

Kristin Walcott-Dass created Happy Rudy to solve a common frustration: it’s not always easy to find the perfect nail colour to match your skin undertones. The brand develops its shades around warm, cool, neutral, olive and deep melanin-rich undertones, and has a Shade Finder Quiz to help shoppers find the shades that will suit them best.

The collection includes crème, chrome, shimmer, sheer, glitter, eco-glitter and topper finishes, along with nail and cuticle care. All of the polishes are vegan, cruelty-free and 21-free.
