The darkest end of the range

Cobalt Blue, Amethyst Eclipse, Jade Eclipse, Forest Green, Sapphire Eclipse and Inkwell. Six shades for when you want depth rather than brightness.

These are the colours that read almost black in low light and reveal themselves properly in daylight. Good for evenings, good with tailoring, and easier to wear day to day than most people expect.

What you need

All semi-cured, so a UV or LED lamp is required. Sixty seconds of curing, 2+ weeks of wear, removal in minutes without acetone.

Wearing dark shades well

Deep colours are less forgiving at the edges, because any gap between wrap and cuticle shows up against the contrast. Two things fix it: push the cuticle back properly before you start, and press the edges down firmly with Precision Tweezers.

A Gloss Top Coat gives dark shades noticeably more depth. A matte top coat over the same colour turns it into something else entirely, which is a cheap way to double the range.
