Contrary Polish Color4Nails Exclusives: Orpheus and Eurydice

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! I think I'm FINALLY getting over my cold, so I'm back to my regularly scheduled posts! Jeeezz...just when I thought it was getting better it got worse...this junk has lingered for 2 weeks! Today I have a brand new duo from Contrary Polish which will be stocked exclusively at Color4Nails! Carrie created this duo in collaboration with Color4Nails to celebrate the launch of Contrary Polish at Color4Nails this weekend! This duo was inspired by the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice from Greek mythology (and you can read their story below). This stunning duo will be releasing tomorrow at 4 PM PDT along with a selection of core polishes from the brand on the Color4Nails website.

Orpheus is a deep, smoky grey jelly with a soft holo effect and flash of purple shimmer. Formula was very nice and easy to work with and I used 3 thin coats for full coverage, but 2 coats would have worked for a more squishy coverage. The purple shimmer popped very nicely, yet subtly against the base and added such lovely depth and interest!

Eurydice is a cherry red jelly with a soft holo effect and a flash of purple shimmer. Formula was very nice to work with and I used 3 thin coats for full coverage, but I could have gotten away with 2 coats for a slightly more squishy coverage. The purple shimmer wasn't as prominent in this one as in Orpheus since it was close to the base shade, but it did offer some additional depth and made the polish lean more to the pink side.

Color4Nails stocks a variety of fabulous indie brands and I'm so excited to see Contrary Polish added to the team! They also stock a few mainstream brands as well, products for stamping, and my favorite treatment, Duri Rejuvacote! Keep track of their releases by following them on Facebook and Instagram. Contrary Polish's core products are stocked on their main website as well.
