Bellalicious Cosmetics is a kids’ cosmetic line of nail polish, lip gloss and hair care products that promotes beauty and confidence from the inside & out for ALL girls! Bellalicious Cosmetics was founded in late 2013 by Yolanda Flournah-Perkins when she became aware of the lack of child-friendly nail polishes on the market. When she was painting her daughter, Bella’s, nails, she realized that the ingredients were toxic and unsafe for her child. After researching and becoming aware of the fact that there were very few nail polishes that were safe for children, she decided to set out and create polishes of her own that had less toxic ingredients. Yolanda utilized her cosmetic line as a platform to focus on sending strong, empowering and positive messages to girls to remind them that they are beautiful, to embrace their difference and to dream big. Since its inception, Bellalicious Cosmetics has become a movement of positivity and self-confidence for girls and women all over the world! For Yolanda, having a platform like Bellalicious Cosmetics is something invaluable that she wished was around when she was in college. It was due to her low self-esteem and low-confidence that Yolanda made a foolish decision in college that landed her in federal prison for 37 months. It was while Yolanda was in prison that she realized her value and worth and knew that she would never return. After her release from prison, Yolanda went on to finish school where she ended up receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a Master’s degree in Health Services Administration from Florida Gulf Coat University and Nova Southeastern University. Bellalicious Cosmetics is a constant reminder for ALL girls that they are SMART, CONFIDENT, INTELLIGENT, but more importantly, they are BEAUTIFUL! Visit our website at www.bellaliciouscosmetics.com
