Kathleen Fuentes, better known as KathleenLights, is a popular beauty YouTube vlogger and influencer. Born to Cuban immigrant parents, Kathleen is a Miami native whose pride runs deep in her Cuban culture and roots. A proud Latina, Kathleen launched her YouTube channel on January 26, 2013; today, she has over 4.2M subscribers.

At only 30 years old, Kathleen has catapulted herself into a brand in and of itself, with world-renown collaborations that include ColourPop, Makeup Geek, and Morphe Brushes.

In addition to being a successful vlogger and influencer, Kathleen is an incredibly savvy businesswoman launching several successful ventures, including Lights Label, her own accessory and apparel line, and her first solo project and brand, Lights Lacquer, a vegan and cruelty-free nail lacquer.

Among her most recent launches, we can find a Friends collection and an adorable limited edition collab with Care Bears in honor of the brand’s 40th anniversary. The Lights Lacquer X Care Bears collection includes various products, including an eight-shade nail polish collection, a limited-edition 40th-anniversary single shade, nail art stickers, and three special phone cases. For the first time, the brand has added press-on nails to its product offering.

What makes Lights Lacquer polishes unique is that they are not only beautiful and distinctive but also free of toxins. Their Seven-Free formula is created without toxic chemicals such as Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, TPHP, and Xylene, which are common in many other polishes.

This formula makes for a polish that is both safe and beautiful. Lights Lacquer brings nostalgia, timelessness, and unique, luxury color curation to create quality nail polish that is long-lasting and easy to apply. Every shade of Lights Lacquer is carefully curated by Kathleen and her diverse team, drawing inspiration from her vast knowledge of makeup, color theory, the world around her, and trendy Pantone colors of the season.
