Woman Owned Indie Brand Spotlight + Get to Know the CEO: Stephanie Warren, Dimension Nails

Dimension Nails Vegan & Cruelty Free Woman Owned Indie Brand

I love my cruelty free community šŸ’– Thanks to all of my social media friends out there, I have found, tried, and connected with so many different amazing brands!Ā  Hence one of the reasons I really wanted to focus on giving back this year, and highlighting some of the brands I have worked with and am so thankful for šŸ™ Let me introduce you to Stephanie Warren, the CEO of the vegan and cruelty free nail polish brand, Dimension Nails šŸ’…


I discovered the brand, Dimension Nails, right on Instagram! I was scrolling through my feed, and one of the Florida bloggers I had connected with, Nicole over at Reasonable Raven, had posted a nail polish collaboration.Ā  I, of course, had to check out the brand, and discovered that DN was owned by another really fabulous Florida woman named Stephanie Warren.Ā  I sent Stephanie a message and we have been friends ever since.Ā  Her polishes are amazing, and I also had the opportunity to collaborate with her on a mineral eyeshadow pigment.Ā  I was over the moon with the opportunity and so happy with the resulting color,Ā Zen šŸ’™ It is the most beautiful, vibrant royal blue, and the pigmentation is outrageous! šŸ˜

Stephanie is quite the fierce warrior!Ā  She is super passionate about her compassion mission, growsĀ  a lot of her own fruits & veggies, puts in a lot of time to take care of her body (both in & out), and is a die hard vegan šŸ’šĀ  I have nothing but the utmost respect for this girl boss!Ā  I asked her five questions about her DN and her responses are incredibly inspiring šŸ˜Ā  Check it out!

1 – What was your inspiration for creating Dimension Nails?

Dimension Nails was actually started from nail stickers. We had the first ever peel, stick,Ā and paint 3D stickers. My father and I came up with them. I was watching Face Off, aĀ movie makeup show, and I thought how cool it would be to create that sort of stuff onĀ your nails. After many concepts and ideas, the stickers were born. Because the productsĀ were very new to the industry, we only had one manufacturer who knew how to makeĀ them. For personal reasons the owner took a leave of absence and we couldnā€™t produceĀ the product, so we closed. During that time, I became a vegan. It has brought me soĀ much joy in my personal life I wanted to share that with others. So, we re-opened theĀ business with the goal of spreading awareness about veganism through nail polish.

2 – What did you do before Dimension Nails and how did you make it happen for yourself?


Before Dimension Nails I was a bartender on St. Pete Beach. I started the brand while IĀ was still bartending. It came to a point where I decided to quit my job and go all in withĀ the brand. I saved up some money and left my bar job. There has been a lot of ups andĀ downs, not to mention many sacrifices, but Iā€™m happy I did.

3 – What keeps you motivated, especially on the daily, to continue growing your brand?


First, I love doing my own thing. Itā€™s a lot of fun! There are days though, when I cryĀ because the work that needs to be done is never ending, overwhelming, and gettingĀ ahead just doesnā€™t seem to existā€¦ Those are some challenges, but Iā€™ve never felt like IĀ wanted to quit. Iā€™m the type of person who believes there is always a way to get it allĀ done. The formula just needs to be discovered and precise. Waking up every day withĀ the desire to accomplish everything I want out of this life is the most inspiring andĀ exciting thing to me. Thatā€™s what keeps me motivated. And I am truly blessed to haveĀ my inspiration come from within. That is something I donā€™t take for granted.

4 – Where do you see Dimension Nails going in the future? What is next?

I have a lot of goals for Dimension Nails. One of my main goals is to make the biggest impact in the lives of animals as I can. I have loved animals, and doing my nails, ever since I was a child. I wanted to be a veterinarian, but when in college, I found out hospital life wasnā€™t for me. So, it’s not a surprise I ended up where I am today. I want to give back as much as I can and be as active as I can in the vegan movement. I want people to know itā€™s not just about nail polish for me or the brand. Itā€™s about change, love, compassion, and life. I am also working on new products all the time that give healthier options to many of the current products in the industry. Veganism I also believe is about health. So, Iā€™m always looking to find new things to add to our growing collection of products. Lastly, I would love to have a salon one day!

5 – If you could give any one piece of advice to a fellow indie brand owner, what would it be?


Be patient. This doesnā€™t happen overnight. It doesnā€™t happen in one year. Be ready toĀ give 4 years to it consistently. Iā€™m in year 2 right now after we re-opened with polish. Itā€™sĀ a learning process. Some things work some things donā€™t and itā€™s our job to figure all thatĀ out. But quitting is not an option. Give 100% for 4 years and donā€™t be afraid to re-inventĀ things and/or yourself. This is your journey and all that you need you already possess.
