"Our patent pending design was actually created while getting my nails done," explains Sydney. "I was listening to Miley Cyrus, Tailor Swift and Kelly Clarkson music on my iPhone and there was this cool colour pallet of nail polish on the wall. I just loved how different colour combos looked together, so I decided to create a splash of multi colours with Zip-itz bracelets.” 020 8568 6398
