Hi, I'm Maria, founder of CATU
I've always been a DIY girl. And doing my own nails was never just a beauty routine, it was my therapy.
Sitting down, choosing a colour that matched my mood, taking that time just for me. It made me feel put together, calm, and genuinely myself. A tiny ritual with a surprisingly big impact.
But most of my friends wouldn't do it. Too hard, too messy, too much time. So they'd book a salon, spend an hour and a small fortune, and do it all over again a few weeks later.
I kept thinking, there has to be a simpler way to feel this good.
About CATU
CATU comes from the Tupi language, indigenous to Brazil - it means good, beautiful, worthy. That's exactly the feeling we want to give you every time you look at your hands.
I grew up in Brazil, where colour and self-expression are just part of everyday life. When I moved to Australia a few years ago, I brought that spirit with me - and an idea I couldn't shake.
I believe beauty can be simple. You shouldn't need a UV lamp, a salon appointment, or twenty steps to feel good about yourself. A little colour and ten minutes should be enough.
So I created CATU. UV-free nail wraps that peel, apply, and file in minutes - no mess, no drying time, no skill required. Just beautiful nails that last up to two weeks, designed for real, busy life.
Rooted in Brazil. Flourishing in Australia.
Made with care, just for you.
