When creating and naming the product, AJ McLean made sure to add a personal touch. Considering that black is his signature color, it makes sense that McLean named the staple black polish in his collection, "Alexander James," after himself. The collection also features a periwinkle hue named "Ava Jaymes" after his oldest daughter, and a warm purple named "Lyric Dean" after his youngest (all are $13 each). According to the Ava Dean website, McLean developed his company as a way to bond with and celebrate his daughters through their shared love of manicures.
The collection, which features five shades of nail polishes as well as a clear coat, and the products are both vegan and cruelty-free, according to the brand's site. Reviewers claim that the stuff is great, with fans praising the quality, durability, and its long-lasting properties. While being created by a Backstreet Boy certainly gives the brand tons of hype, there's a good chance this product actually lives up to it.
