Mother Tongue

Mother Tongue is a haven for the third culture kid, for the immigrant, for the first gen that longs for connectivity to their roots. Our brand was founded on the belief that the world we create around ourselves influences our wellbeing - physically, mentally & spiritually. Many lifestyle brands sell the dream of a better life, but are they giving their customers tools to do so? At Mother Tongue, we believe in creating a community empowered to live rooted & balanced lives. Launched in 2021, we offer made-to-order GelX nails inspired by the healing properties of crystals. Nails are transformational; they have the potential to elevate one's mindset & self perception in everyday life. We are slowly & sustainably expanding our offering to include more life-enhancing products. Our goal is to honor our ancestors through preserving rituals, highlighting artisanship & utilizing sustainable practices that spread light & wellbeing.
