The pitch
What walked into the Den
Umar Dar and Farah Katchi run Tuesday in Love, a maker of halal-certified, water-permeable nail polish, and they pitched in season 13, episode 17.
The pair asked for $100,000 in return for 20 percent, valuing the cosmetics brand at $500,000.
After the show
What happened next
A deal did happen, confirmed by a news outlet's coverage of the appearance. The reporting stops at the fact of the agreement, so we can say the founders landed a deal but not name the Dragon or quote the final terms, and we would rather be precise about that limit than overstate it.
The brand is thriving today. In July 2026 the online store was selling gel-polish collections at $29.00 each, with Summer Favorites and New Colors sections and a working cart.
Our read
The Hub verdict
The ask is clean, $100,000 for 20 percent at a $500,000 valuation, and the notable fact is that a deal did happen, confirmed by a named news outlet's coverage of the appearance.
Here is where we hold our line: the reporting confirms the deal but not which Dragon or the final terms, so we say the founders landed a deal and stop there rather than invent specifics. The brand is thriving today, with gel-polish collections selling through a working store, so the confirmed win has a healthy present tense behind it.
A confirmed deal we can only describe in broad strokes, and a store that is very much alive.
Worth knowing: We confirm a deal at the headline level from a named outlet; the specifics beyond that are not verified, so we keep the wording general on purpose.
