Long before being selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the 2024 NBA draft, former Duke star Jared McCain was known — and ridiculed — for his TikTok dances and colorful nail polishes.
During his senior season with the Blue Devils, McCain even signed an NIL deal with beauty brand Sally Hansen, acknowledging that it might not sit well with some.
Fast forward to 2025 and McCain has taken things a step further.
On Friday, in collaboration with Sally Hansen, McCain officially launched his own nail polish line called “MVP.”
“I am so excited to announce something I’ve been working on for a very long time now. I went to the lab, and I actually created these, my own nail polish collection with Sally Hansen,” McCain said in a TikTok video.
“It’s crazy to even think that when I first started painting my nails that I’d be here with my own collection of colors that I made. Let’s get into the colors and let me show you everything that I created, obviously with the help of the Sally Hansen scientists. This collection is called MVP, and it stands for Most Valuable Polish.”
McCain proceeded to break down his five-color line, including Bucket Blue, Rookie Red, Goat Gold, Point Guard Pink, and Net Neutral.
“So I think it’s such a good nod to my life, to where I’m at now. I’m just blessed,” he said. “I’m super honored that Sally let me do this, and I was able to go create it and actually put my own creativity into this project.
“I’m blessed and honored. Thank you, Sally Hansen, for letting me do this.”
In addition to the five-color set, there is an additional Trio set included, featuring Philadelpia’s red, white, and blue colors. McCain fans can purchase the set and Trio pack wherever Sally Hansen products are sold, including Amazon.
