Death Valley Nail Polish

Small batch, hand mixed (and some hand foraged) pigments, our favorite nail polishes! Some colors are special - containing fine gemstones, flower petals, unique color changes and fun characteristics!

 

From our friends at Death Valley Nails:

10-free. Vegan. Cruelty-free. Nontoxic.

We suggest using a base coat and 2-3 coats of polish followed by a top coat.

Dust To Dust Collection: 

We break down these pigments by hand with a mortar and pestle. This polish is sheer but builds up beautifully. It will have texture as well as larger pieces of pigment present in the polish finish. Each batch will have slight color variations as we use different parts of the source material. This polish contains a small amount of earth mica to enhance the natural color.

Naturally, larger particles will stick to the bottom and sides of the bottle and not suspend in the polish base.

• Amethyst: Amethyst foraged from Unaweep Canyon, Colorado
• Cornflowers: From our home garden
  
• Wildflowers: From a meadow in Texas

Specialty Polish:

- Thermal:

• Bated Breath: This thermal has iridescent duochrome golden lime shimmer that shifts to rose pink at an angle. Wine = cold / Pink = warm / Sheer = hot
• Care: Thermal polish will actively transition for up to two years if kept in a dark and cool environment. Once the polish is not able to transition anymore the color will remain in either the hot or the cold state.

- Photochromatic:

• Rhododendron: Photochromatic polish with a strong emerald shift and subtle scattered holo. This polish is activated only by sunshine, not temperature like our thermal polish. In the shade this polish is translucent. In the sun this polish shifts to violet.   Translucent = Shade. Violet = Sunshine.
