Nagelati the PETA Vegan Award Beauty 2026 - Germany

We received some news that genuinely took our breath away.

Nagelati has been awarded the PETA Vegan Beauty Award 2026 by PETA Germany, in the category “Best Vegan Press-On Nails.”

Out of all beauty products submitted, our press-on nails were selected as the winner in this category — an honour we didn’t expect, and one that means more to us than we can easily put into words.

What the PETA Vegan Award is all about

The PETA Vegan Beauty Award is one of the most respected recognitions in the German-speaking beauty space.
It is awarded annually to products that are truly vegan and cruelty-free — with no animal-derived ingredients, no animal testing, and no exceptions.

What makes this award particularly meaningful:
PETA actively reviews brands and products, recognising only those that genuinely meet these standards.

The award honours companies that set new benchmarks through their commitment to animal-friendly and sustainable practices — helping drive a shift towards a more ethical way of consuming beauty.

Why Nagelati

Behind every colour lies more than aesthetics.

Nagelati is not just about avoiding petroleum-based materials or eliminating plastic packaging.
The brand follows a holistic approach to sustainability — from plant-based materials to plastic-free packaging and consciously developed products.

Our press-on nails are reusable, designed for longevity, and fully vegan and cruelty-free.

For us, this was never a trend — but a decision made from day one.
To have this recognised by PETA means a great deal to us.

What’s behind Nagelati

Nagelati was founded on a simple idea:
nails that look beautiful, apply effortlessly — and don’t harm your natural nails or the environment.

For a long time, press-on nails were seen as short-lived or low quality.
We wanted to show that there is another way:

Through thoughtful materials.
Timeless design.
And a more conscious approach to resources.

Reusable.
Plastic-free packaged.
And made to last.

Today, Nagelati is active in both Germany and Australia — growing step by step into a brand that aims to set new standards.

Beauty without compromise

We believe that beauty and responsibility should not be a trade-off.

You shouldn’t have to choose between a good conscience and a great look.

That’s what Nagelati stands for.
And that’s exactly what this award recognises.

Or, as we’ve believed from the beginning:
beautiful nails should never come at a cost — not for animals, and not for our planet.

Thank you

This award means incredibly much to us —
especially coming so early in our journey, and showing that thoughtful innovation is being seen.

But above all, it belongs to you.

To everyone who has supported Nagelati from the very beginning —
your first orders, your kind messages, your trust.

Thank you.
