00:01Orly makes countless nail polish colors and finishes.
00:05It all starts with their in-house chemist.
00:08Hey girl!
00:10Using a variety of pigments, the chemist mixes the hue from scratch.
00:14A suspension base is added to distribute the pigments, giving the polish a uniform color.
00:21An adhesive polymer is mixed in to ensure the polish actually sticks to your nails and doesn't chip.
00:28Thank you very much.
00:29Orly makes over 5 tons of nail polish every day.
00:33This drum of nail polish is hooked up to a filling machine.
00:44On the other side of the machine, the bottles await their filling.
00:48They're sent down a conveyor belt, single file.
00:51First, the metal mixing balls are dropped into the bottles to help keep the product mixed.
00:56Then, the polish is pumped into the bottles.
01:11These brushes are special.
01:13They have a 600 bristle count and are designed to fit every cuticle.
01:21And these special caps have a gripper so you never slip.
01:26Thanks Orly!

01:37Hundreds of colors have hundreds of names, and they all need labels.
01:41This one's called Pick Me Up.
01:44Safety plastic is put on the bottle with a sleever machine.
01:48The plastic is heated to 350 degrees, causing it to cling to the bottle, creating a seal.
01:58Did you know that unopened nail polish can stay fresh pretty much forever?
02:03Good to know.
02:04But as these little guys head out into the world,
02:06we're pretty sure you're going to want to open them right away.
02:10It's a big day.
02:12You'll be right back.
02:12You may have a friend.
02:13I have a friend.
