Fun Fact: Drummond Island sits at the eastern tip of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in northern Lake Huron and has long been nicknamed the “Gem of the Huron.” Surrounded by brilliant blue-green water, forests, rocky shoreline, and dozens of nearby islands, it’s known for boating, fishing, paddling, trails, and some seriously beautiful Great Lakes scenery. You even have to take a car ferry from DeTour Village to get there, making a trip to Drummond feel like a little island adventure before you’ve even arrived. Find our polishes in the Islander Shoppe on Drummond Island!
Here in Traverse City, advocate group FLOW (For Love of Water), works to protect the Great Lakes through water law, policy, education, and the idea that these waters are a shared public resource that should remain healthy, public, and protected for generations to come. We donate $2 for every bottle of Gem of the Huron, Ontario Forever, Lake Michigan, Erie-sistible, or Superior State of Mind that sells in 2026. That means if you pick up the whole limited time collection, we will donate $10!

handmade with care in Michigan
I’m KC, the maker behind Northern Nail Polish. Every bottle is designed, mixed, poured, labeled, photographed, packed, and shipped by me (and sometimes with the help of my parents, husband, and son during busy times!) When you order, you are supporting my independent, Michigan-made small handmade business and a self-care brand built around color, creativity, and cleaner beauty.
Our pigments are sourced from conflict-free minerals, ensuring that your nails remain stain-free even after you remove our polish. Our dedication to eco-conscious practices is evident in our use of natural ingredients and our avoidance of harmful chemicals. Beautiful nails shouldn't come at the cost of the environment. From planting trees for every order, to recycled and recyclable packaging, I'm on a mission to keep things green.
