Giving feet the attention they deserve is deeply rooted in BIRKENSTOCK’s DNA and underscores the purpose of “walking as nature intended,” a principle embodied in the iconic BIRKENSTOCK footbed. In keeping with its holistic philosophy, the brand is launching a vegan, plant-based nail polish range in April 2026.
The BIRKENSTOCK CARE ESSENTIALS nail polish collection celebrates feet, turning them into an eye-catcher while playfully underscoring their complex functionality as the true heroes of movement. Expertly formulated in a range of thoughtfully chosen shades with a high-gloss finish, the new BIRKENSTOCK nail polishes are the perfect colorful companion to any BIRKENSTOCK sandal. Whether combined monochromatically or as a striking contrast, the polishes provide a sophisticated finishing touch from fingertip to toe.
With this new addition, BIRKENSTOCK expands its CARE ESSENTIALS range, bringing in a decorative element and offering a fresh perspective on caring for the feet. Guided by BIRKENSTOCK’s high standards for product development, every ingredient in the nail polish collection is meticulously selected to ensure both safety and performance. The 23-free* formulas are vegan, plant-based, and made, wherever possible, with natural ingredients like sugar beets and cane. The result is a responsible, contemporary take on nail polish that aligns with BIRKENSTOCK’s values.
The collection features five versatile colors—Eggshell, Light Rose, Crocus, Surf Green, and Red—each perfectly coordinated with the brand’s seasonal and classic open-toe offering. Complementing items in the collection include a Top and Base Coat, as well as a gentle Nail Polish Remover infused with nourishing sweet almond oil. All products are made in Europe, ensuring the highest standards of quality. The minimalist packaging reflects BIRKENSTOCK’s timeless and functional aesthetic. The 100% recyclable glass bottles are paired with expertly designed brushes for precise, effortless application.**
