Color Volume 5 Nail Polish
Limited Edition Polish - Library of Color series
by StrangeBeautiful

The Scoop
For her Volume V Library of Color, STRANGEBEAUTIFUL creator Jane Schub drew inspiration from the spectral banks of the Hudson River estuary upon which her 19th century brick factory looms like a prescient structure in a foreboding Bosch painting.

Moody, erotic, irreverent and tender, the STRANGEBEAUTIFUL Volume V edition features 8 diaphanous veils of wildly haunting colors, each shade slightly disturbing and yet effortless to wear.

Inspirations and references range from the vampiric gradations of a healing bruise; the moody rusts of menstrual blood; sooty, phantasmal India ink; the profile of a gray blue Heron scooping fish against a background of gooey river runoff and the apocalyptic color palette of Medieval Flemish paintings. Visceral and private, each shade cloaks the finger in an aqueous film of color for an effect that is strange, beautiful, and impossible to forget.

Unlike traditional nail polishes, the Volume V shades coat the nail in a gossamer bath of color. Not quite transparent, the effect is fluid and semi opaque, as if the nail itself had taken on a mysterious life of its own.

I wrote the first review above, and this is an update. I was wearing a single coat of the gray, plus a clear top-coat (a drugstore brand); and then later on, I tried adding a second gray coat, finished by one more clear top-coat. Alternating the gray paint and the clear top-coat prevented the streakiness and unevenness. My nails are now a deeper shade but still translucent. The effect is like an inky stain. My verdict is: These do not behave like normal nail polishes, but normal nail polishes are (in my opinion) boring. You can play around with the Volume 5 colors and get some really interesting effects.

First off, I almost never use nail polish, and I'm not that good at applying it, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I like the Volume 5 colors very much, and I'm reviewing them for the sake of pointing out that I don't think you should apply these like normal polishes. The description "not quite transparent" is a bit misleading--these are VERY transparent. I have tried, so far, the gray that is third from the left and the beige-y color that is third from the right. The gray goes on very light--more like a "stain" than a "paint." The effect with the first coat is very subtle, but also so unexpected that it's quite noticeable. It makes my nails the color of a natural bruise, with all of the variation you would expect with your natural skin tone showing through. My advice (and why I'm reviewing this) is that you should stop at one coat. The second and third coats, instead of evening things out, made my nails look very streaky. I applied three coats, and I really don't think it'd be possible to achieve a close-to-opaque, even tone, no matter how many coats you use. I took off the polish and re-applied just a single coat, and it looked much better. So, again, my advice, treat this gray as a unique nail stain, and stop at one coat. Building up multiple coats ruins the stain effect and just looks streaky and uneven. That said, the light beige-y color is so light that several coats looked fine. I haven't tried other colors yet, but I'm looking forward to experimenting. I've still got one coat of the gray on now, and I'm liking it more and more--it really is puzzling in a good way (strange and beautiful, I guess, as the name says).
