Habit Cosmetics Launches Three Nail Polish Shades to Support Communities of Color
This cruelty-free company is giving back to the community through their new color collection!
On Monday, March 1, the woman-owned brand Habit Cosmetics will launch 14 new nail polish colors—3 of which have been created in collaboration with up-and-coming artists Lauren Halsey, Alake Shilling, and Kezia Harrell. As part of their mission to give back to the community, the brand will contribute 40% of retail sales from these three shades to women and communities of color.
Colors will include “Bop Bop!” co-created by Lauren Halsey (40% of retail sales from this color will benefit Downtown Crenshaw), “Jolly Green Bean” co-created by Alake Shilling (40% of retail sales from this color will benefit Summaeverythang Community Center), and “Let’s Call it a Chartreuse” co-created by Kezia Harrell (40% of retail sales from this color will benefit the artist).
In addition to nail polish, Habit Cosmetics also offers multi-use vegan lip, eye, and cheek creme-based colors as well as highlighters.

Lead singer of punk rock band AFI, Davey Havok is no stranger to veganism—having been vegan for over two decades. As part of the straight edge community in the 90s, he was heavily influenced by its members who also abstained from the use of animal products. In 2021, AFI released their new album, Bodies. We chatted with Havok to learn more about his music career and vegan lifestyle.
