The birth of Qttie | Singapore brand

We'd like to think that Qttie is an indie brand with a heart ❤.
(lol πŸ€— *self-praise* let's go along with this while we think of a better word... unofficially on Dayre only)

🚩 Purpose driven 
🚩 Independently funded 
🚩 Design conscious
🚩 Small batches 
🚩 Non-traditional marketing 

A project of the modern 21st century gal~ it started with the idea of creating a really simple to DIY Gel kit that ANY ONE can do.
Our founder πŸ‘§ Rachel (@iamracheltang ) wanted to do something for her Mom. Knowing how therapeutic nails can be, & how pretty nails uplifts our moods. She wanted to pamper her Mom with pretty nails but she didn't have much time at home to do it.

She turned to buying DIY gel kits by "big" brands from retail stores. The excitement died off quickly as the kits were too complicated. 

Too many steps... too many products... and often, with a strong pungent smell.
Rachel, who is well versed in the nail industry, noticed this gap in the nail market. Thus decided to take things in her own hands! #punintended

She brought this idea up with the professional nail brand that she had been consulting for, Angelpro, who is also big on the Organic Philosophy, which Rachel developed. And they worked closely to fulfill what Rachel had in mind.

🌟 Easy to use 
🌟 Suitable for everyone
🌟 Cost friendly 
🌟 Health conscious 

That's how Qttie conceptualized!
Along the journey, Rachel met with many cool people... people in the media, doing design, owners of their own products, etc. So we would see many collaborations in the pipeline.

Qttie chose to take baby steps towards achieving bigger results. Instead of spending tons on marketing, or even packaging, the funds go towards developing the formula. Thus Qttie is able to create the toxic-free DIY gel polish for you girls!
 Small, but mighty. 
Through word of mouth, and recommendations, Qttie had been successfully reaching out to new people, like yourselves, everyday!

We humbly listen to feedbacks from our users. And troubleshoot along the way. We are so thankful for everyone's support... our team members & even their family and friends who didn't shun away when we needed a helping hand, or rather, the nails on those hands.

 qttie DIY gel manicure kit 
#qttie


comes in this really pretty box!

comes with a portable LED UV light stick which is damn cool.

comes with one nail polish only tho and I chose 'Corgi Buttwalk' πŸ˜‚

also works like the ones in the nail salon. 

just paint a thin layer then cure under the light for 20-30 sec. Then paint another layer and do the same thing.

end product!! actually not bad eh. and i think it took me less than 20 min to complete both hands?

The meaning behind our Gel polishes names

 Qttie fun fact! 
Every Qttie Gelly color is specially named by our founder,  @iamracheltang.

Names are named after things she love and believe in, such as animals, romantic feelings, events...

Take some time to check them out! The whole naming process took a long time, thoughtfully shortlisted from the many choices.
The names of gel colors can be found on the top of each box, and also on the bottle.
😍
 Here's some example! 
We would share more stories with you girls along the way. Every names are meaningful to us, so it means a lot to be able to share it!
PINK YOUR NAILS was a charity manicure event held by @PinkRoomNails, the #1 nail academy in Singapore - the school opened by our founder.
Go Google!!!! You have to!!

Did you know that there is a name for the action that bunnies do when they are happy?

Yes, it's a Bunny Flop!
