Cosmic Polish

Carina

Carina

Capture the chaotic universe on your nails with this polish. Carina is a deep purple based polish with a strong red to gold shifting shimmer and scattered holo. Witness all of time itself on your nails in this maelstrom of colour and sparkle!  Opaque in 2-3 coats, with fewer coats bringing more of the purple out and additional coats deepening the red.

Part of the Heavenly Bodies Collection

+ More Info

This polish was inspired by the Carina Nebula - a large and chaotic glowing cloud of dust and gas best seen from our Southern Hemisphere. Formed from dying stars and yet blazing forwards with the birth of new ones in earnest, the Carina Nebula is also home to Eta Carinae - a dying star set to supernova any time now. The Nebula also contains a number of fascinating features like the Homunculus Nebula, the Mystic Mountain and the Finger of God (or Carina’s Defiant Finger). Take a look at the images that inspired the polish HERE and HERE.

Is it red? Is it purple? It’s both!

Lovely unusual colour! Looks great, and the holo sparkles really set it off. The gold at acute angles is really pretty. Needed at least two coats, but it’s worth it.

When you love red, but own so many

Like many, I have multiple reds in my polish collection and yet I’m still always looking at new or different reds. This red is perfect as I don’t have anything like it. I have cream reds, shimmer reds, pearl reds, holo reds, jelly reds, but nothing exactly like this. Very beautiful and unique to my collection of reds. Great when you want a classic colour but with some uniqueness and specialty too it.

So pretty

Goes on really nicely and dries quickly. It looks different in different lightings, needs to be seen to be believed (photos don't quite do it justice). I wasn't expecting the gold shift to be so strong in the sunlight, it surprised me, I can't stop looking at my nails hehe

Stunning Shade

Gorgeous colour with a beautiful holo sparkle. Only needed 2 coats on my nails. Beautiful in all types of lighting.
