Pear Nova founder and CEO Rachel James was inspired to create a nail collection that embodies the resilience, vibrancy and innovation of the Wakandan culture.

The collaboration features three sets of Layovers showcasing custom nail designs by minority artists and creatives. Each set has 24 almond-shaped nails, one nail file and buffer, one cuticle stick and one nail glue. 

“As a boy-Mom turned Marvel fanatic, I, like so many other people, fell in love with all the elements of Black Panther," says James. "From Wakanda’s rich culture to female governance, I was completely inspired by their world and everything in it. In creating our first collection of Layovers, I wanted to pay homage to the story that inspired so many and express the adoration I felt for Black Panther and Wakanda."

Sets in the Pear Nova x Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Layovers collection include:
