Every colour we pour
Shade index
All twenty-one shades in the current range, in the order they were first poured. Swatches are flat colour, not photographs, so read them as a guide to family rather than finish.

Reading the finishes
Five finish descriptions are used across the index and they mean specific things here.
- Crème — flat opaque colour, no flake, generally covering in two coats.
- Sheer crème — the same base with a lower pigment load, made to build.
- Shimmer — a fine flake dispersed through the colour, visible in daylight.
- Duochrome and multichrome — pigments that read as two or three different tones depending on the angle of the nail.
- Glitter — hex, shard or micro flake suspended in a clear or tinted base.
Coats, and what to expect
Coat counts on this page assume a thin coat, a full two minutes between coats, and one layer of top coat. Pale shades in Sugarveil are the least forgiving: three thin coats will always look better than two thick ones, and the base coat matters more than the colour does.
Bottles are 15 ml and priced at $15, except the multichromes in Opal Hours, which are $19 because the pigment costs roughly four times what a standard flake does.
