In collaboration with MuslimGirl.com, the nail polish brand has released a limited-edition line of halal-certified nail polish. The polishes are made with 100 percent halal ingredients, and are water permeable in keeping with Muslim customs.

 
MuslimGirl.Com founder Amani Al-Khatahtbeh worked with Orly to create the six-piece, Muslim-friendly collection, called #HalalPaint. The polishes are made halal-certified ingredients like argan oil and provitamin B5. The collection includes five original colors and one clear top coat.
 
Not only do the contents of the polishes adhere to halal guidelines, the technology behind the product does, too. Orly’s halal polishes are made with a breathable technology that allows water to permeate through the polish. Unlike typical nail polishes, the new Orly line is in keeping with Muslim cleansing practices wherein water must be able to reach the nail bed.

Al-Khatahtbeh also chose the names of the nail polishes. She incorporated typical Muslim names into the products, like “What the Fatima?”, “Haram-Bae”, and “Ig-Noor the Haters”, to speak to Muslim women who don’t often see themselves represented in mainstream beauty products.
 
The Orly x MuslimGirl.com collection is available for pre-order on halalpaint.com, with the entire six-piece collection retailing for $49. The collection is certified halal by the Islamic Society of The Washington Area.
