Kaeess Nail Polish was developed to empower all to break boundaries through self-expression. Tekoa Savage, CEO & Founder of Kaeess Nail Polish, who is also a former foster youth created this line to be diverse and empower those who are boxed in and want an outlet to express themselves through subtle yet bold color art. 18% of Kaeess Nail Polish for the month of May will be donated to YESS.
