Quick summary: Planet Nails started in South Africa, where our founder built it into the largest nail supplier in southern Africa. Planet Nails Australia is her rebuild of that business from scratch, founded in Melbourne in 2013. Thirteen years on, we operate a showroom, warehouse, and office in Kunda Park, QLD, hold a 4.9-star rating across 554 Google reviews, publish a full Safety Data Sheet for every product we sell, source raw materials exclusively from the USA and EU, and run a five-stage nail technician training program. Below is the detail behind each of those claims.
Where We're Based
Planet Nails Australia is headquartered at 8 Conara Rd, Kunda Park, QLD 4556, a combined showroom, warehouse, and office. The showroom is open to the public, so products can be bought in person, not just online.
The business moved to this Queensland base in 2021. Before that, it operated out of Melbourne, where it was founded.
Our History
Planet Nails started in South Africa, founded by our owner and her brother. They built it into the largest nail supplier in southern Africa.
Planet Nails Australia is her rebuild of that business from scratch, founded in Melbourne in 2013. It's a separate company from the South African business, not a licensed or affiliated branch of it, but the two share the same founder and the experience she brought with her. We've supplied professional nail products and education across Australia and New Zealand for 13 years since.
Track Record
Beyond how long we've operated, we hold a 4.9-star rating across 554 Google reviews, reviews anyone can look up directly, rather than testimonials curated for our own website.
Ingredient Transparency & Sourcing
Every product we sell, gel polish, BIAB, top coats, and beyond, has a published Safety Data Sheet with full ingredient breakdowns. See Understanding Safety Data Sheets for how to read one, and What's Really in Your Nail Products? for what the common ingredients actually do.
Our BIAB, hard gels, rubber base, acrylics, and essentials are sourced exclusively from the USA and EU, where manufacturing standards and ingredient regulations are among the strictest in the world.
Cruelty-Free & Environmental Policy
We only supply products that are cruelty-free and free from animal-derived ingredients, with one disclosed exception: Kolinsky acrylic brushes, which use natural Kolinsky hair. For a broader look at how terms like cruelty-free, vegan, and clean are defined (and where they're not regulated at all), see Let's Get Real About Product Claims.
Training & Education
We run five independent types of training: Absolute Fundamentals, Introduction to Design Fundamentals, Intermediate Conversion, Expert Workshop, and Bespoke Personalised Training, delivered by our Certified Educators, in-person, one-on-one, or online. See our Starter Guide for New Nail Techs for how these fit together.
PN Preferred Salon
PN Preferred Salon is our program for salons that use Planet Nails products, offering benefits such as a discount on orders. It's a growing network rather than a large established one. We're upfront that it's still early days.

The Bottom Line
We'd rather be judged on what's verifiable than on what we say about ourselves. How long we've operated, what our customers say independently, what's actually in our products, where our materials come from, and what our training actually covers. That's the basis on which we're happy to be measured against any other brand.
