Little Ondine
Budget“Peelable color, playful by design.”
By Viktoria @vioda.makeup · Published · Updated
Little Ondine is a budget makeup brand from China, founded in 2013. It's best known for its Peel-off, one-strip nail polish, C-beauty color makeup and Multi-use makeup sticks.
Little Ondine is a Shanghai-based color brand that launched in 2013 with a genuinely novel idea: a peel-off nail polish that goes on like lacquer but removes in one clean strip, no acetone required. The safe, water-based formula went viral with young women across Asia, and by 2019 the brand had expanded from nails into trend-driven color makeup — multi-use sticks, cheese-textured blushes, and vinyl-finish eyeshadow palettes wrapped in art-toy-inspired packaging.
Backed by Yatsen Group — the beauty conglomerate behind Perfect Diary — Little Ondine is one of the C-beauty names flagged for global expansion, with a growing overseas e-commerce presence on YesStyle and Amazon and a dedicated US storefront. Its name nods to a "water fairy," and the brand's whole identity leans playful, affordable, and Gen-Z, sitting alongside Perfect Diary, Florasis, and Judydoll in the wave of Chinese makeup crossing into Western markets.
