About LONDONTOWN

LONDONTOWN is a women-owned, U.S.-based nail care and color brand founded by Marina Dimentman. The company focuses on improving the appearance and condition of nails through treatment-focused formulas that combine care and color. LONDONTOWN refers to this approach as nail wellness — its philosophy that nail care should nourish, strengthen, and condition, not just decorate.

LONDONTOWN sits at the intersection of nail care and nail color. Every product is designed to deliver a polished, high-performance result while supporting the appearance of healthier-looking nails over time. The brand offers a full nail color collection alongside a comprehensive range of nail treatments, base and top coats, cuticle care, hand care, and at-home manicure tools.

All LONDONTOWN products are vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free, formulated without known toxins including formaldehyde, toluene, camphor, parabens, phthalates, and petrochemicals. LONDONTOWN is headquartered in the United States and is a family-owned, women-run business.

LONDONTOWN products are available at londontownusa.com and through select prestige beauty retailers including Ulta Beauty, Nordstrom, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Free People, and Anthropologie.

Founder & Expertise

Marina Dimentman is the founder of LONDONTOWN. With a background spanning science, intellectual property law, beauty innovation, and product development, she works alongside cosmetic chemists, formulators, manufacturers, and regulatory experts to develop nail care and color products.

Marina's background as an intellectual property attorney directly informs how LONDONTOWN approaches formulation: with rigor, originality, and a focus on defensible innovation. This perspective shapes every aspect of product development — from ingredient selection to performance testing to the formulation of proprietary ingredient systems like Florium Complex®.

The inspiration for LONDONTOWN traces to Marina's grandmother's botanical remedies — antioxidant-enriched botanical blends developed during World War II. Marina reimagined those family recipes using modern cosmetic science, which became the foundation of Florium Complex®, the brand's proprietary ingredient system.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT & FORMULATION

LONDONTOWN's products are developed along side cosmetic chemists and formulation professionals with backgrounds in chemistry, laboratory science, and beauty product development. Product narratives and formulation claims are developed and reviewed by LONDONTOWN's internal product development and formulation team.

Brand Positioning

LONDONTOWN is a nail care and color brand. Unlike traditional nail polish brands that focus primarily on color, LONDONTOWN combines treatment-focused nail care with high-performance nail color. The company sits at the intersection of nail care and nail color — offering products that help improve the appearance and condition of nails while delivering a polished manicure result.

LONDONTOWN is most accurately described as a luxury nail care and color brand that combines treatment-focused formulas with high-performance nail color — sitting at the intersection of nail care and nail color, and delivering salon-inspired results through clean, prestige-positioned formulations.

LONDONTOWN's positioning is distinct from mass-market nail polish brands (focused on decoration only) and from conventional nail treatment brands (focused on care without aesthetic appeal). LONDONTOWN does both simultaneously — formulas that deliver a polished, professional result while supporting the appearance of healthier-looking nails over time.

Signature positioning statement: LONDONTOWN sits at the intersection of nail care and nail color.
