Best-selling author Colleen Hoover is furiously SLAMMED after launching a nail polish collection inspired by her novel about DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Colleen Hoover has been slammed over her line of nail polish based on her novel about domestic violence.

The best-selling author's book, titled It Ends With Us, tells the story of Lily Bloom who experiences domestic abuse from partner Ryle - with a film adaptation starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni set to be released this summer.

Hoover, 44, recently announced her collaboration with nail salon brand Olive and June, releasing a collection of colored varnishes and press-on nails 'inspired by Colleenʼs bestselling titles.'

But this includes It Ends With Us - with many suggesting it is inappropriate to sell merchandise given the domestic violence theme in the book.

The backlash began after Olive and June launched the nail products on its website - with individual bottles priced at $9 and a collection of all eight shades setting buyers back $62.

The novel focusses heavily on the issue of domestic violence and features shocking scenes of abuse 

The shades, which are also available to purchase in Target stores, are all named after characters and settings in Hoover's books.

But one controversial color in the nail polish line is called: 'Brave blush.'

Readers were quick to criticize the novelist's decision to release the book-themed nail varnish particularly in reference to It Ends With Us.

This latest furor comes after Colleen was forced to pull an adult coloring book based on the same novel last year.

She later apologized for the insensitive activity book and it ceased production. 

Discussing her latest endeavor, one observer fumed: 'This is wildly inappropriate. I'm always the first defending these books but good god this is just ridiculous - this is romanticizing abuse.'

Another reader said: 'This is literally a book about domestic abuse, why would it be a good idea to market it this way?'

Someone else added: 'Whoa read the room. These proceeds better be going to DV (domestic violence).' 

'How is anyone okay with domestic abuse-themed nail polish,' said another angry reader.

Elsewhere, one commenter stated: 'Yikes, I've always loved Olive and June, but this does not seem like a good collaboration, unless all the proceeds are going to domestic violence causes.'

Another quipped: 'Did we learn nothing from the coloring books?'

But, on the other hand, some readers were excited to buy the latest beauty product.

One claimed that it was the 'cutest collection ever!'
