With consumer nail-care products often sold on small margins and weak brand lock-in, larger suppliers can undercut pricing and defend share more easily. That makes durable share gains unlikely, so capital is better used in higher-value, faster-growing lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sub-highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/GENERAL-Checkmark-Icon.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLegacy consumer accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLegacy consumer accessories fits Dogs because the category is fragmented, low-margin, and slow growing.
