NEESS is a brand from the Donegal portfolio, developed since 2010 within the nail styling category. As the brand continued to grow, it required a partner capable of supporting the regular expansion of its offering with hybrid nail polishes, base products, finishing products, and colour collections.
The objective of the collaboration was to efficiently develop and launch products under the NEESS brand - aligned with its quality standards, colour direction, visual identity, and commercial goals, while ensuring they were ready to perform within a broad retail portfolio.
The key challenge was to ensure continuous product development while maintaining consistency across quality standards, colour direction, and the overall aesthetics of the product line.
The project required not only the development of new shades and complementary products, but also the effective translation of brand guidelines and market trends into ready-to-market products. Maintaining batch consistency, quality control, and efficient management of the entire process - from initial samples to market-ready products - was essential.
An important part of the collaboration was also reducing the client’s operational workload, enabling the brand to expand its hybrid nail polish category without the need to independently manage manufacturing and filling & packaging processes, documentation, or quality control.
APM Group provided comprehensive implementation and operational support for NEESS products - from adapting product solutions and coordinating contract manufacturing processes, through filling & packaging, quality control, and preparing products for market launch.
The collaboration included:
The project also included the preparation of quality and product documentation, including product specifications and quality certificates.
As part of the collaboration, APM Group developed a product line for professional nail styling under the NEESS brand, including hybrid nail polishes, base products, finishing products, and colour collections.
The products were developed in line with the brand’s guidelines and introduced to the market as part of the Donegal portfolio. This enabled NEESS to consistently expand its nail styling offering while maintaining visual, quality, and product consistency.
The collaboration was long-term and included subsequent product launches and continuous development of the NEESS brand portfolio.
The project involved the development of numerous shades, seasonal collections, and complementary nail styling products, supporting the brand’s systematic portfolio expansion and its ability to respond to changing market trends.
The NEESS brand was able to continuously expand its hybrid nail polish range, as well as its base and finishing product categories, without the need to independently manage the entire product launch process.
Through cooperation with APM Group, the client received products developed in line with brand requirements, supported by comprehensive process management on APM Group’s side — from launch coordination and contract manufacturing, through filling, labelling, packaging, and quality control, to preparing ready-to-market products.
The collaboration enabled NEESS to expand its portfolio in a structured, consistent, and scalable way. The long-term partnership confirmed the effectiveness of this model and created the opportunity for regular product launches in response to market needs and evolving nail styling trends.
