India Anaïs is a beauty house from the Netherlands. It makes nail lacquer, lip glaze, lip liner and eyeliner in two colours that belong together: amethyst and gold.
The house works in editions. Each edition has a number, a season and a small batch. When the batch is gone, the edition is closed. Édition No. 01, The Amethyst Edit, was made in autumn 2026 and sold out within the season. Édition No. 02 is planned for spring 2027.
What the house believes
Colour is a small decision with a large effect. One shade on ten nails changes how a hand moves. A line above the lashes changes how a face listens. The house makes those small decisions worth taking.
Luxury is restraint. A weighted cap, a gold ring, a bottle that stands still on a table. A shade with a story you can tell in one sentence. Nothing that shouts.
Knowledge is part of the product. Every guide on this site starts with the answer and ends with its sources. The house writes about magnets and pigments, about acetone and cuticles, because a customer who understands a finish enjoys it more.
The signature
The monogram on every cap is a hand-drawn AIJ. It is written once, by hand, and reproduced in gold. The wordmark under it is set in a classic serif with wide spacing, the way names were once engraved on the back of a watch.
The code
Amethyst is the colour of the house: a violet with a blue heart that reads as a stone rather than a paint. Gold is the light on it. Every shade in an edition is placed on that scale, from a milky white with a violet pearl to a blackcurrant so deep it is almost black.
Shades are numbered as well as named. Numbers make a collection legible; names make it loved.
Where to find us
India Anaïs is based in Hoofddorp, close to Amsterdam. Editions are sold on this site. When an edition is open, the site says so. When it is sold out, the site says that too, and offers a place on the list for the next one.
