Nail Polish The Color of "The Moody Rusts of Menstrual Blood"

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Would you wear nail polish inspired by the color of menstrual blood? Well, if you're into that sort of thing, check out StrangeBeautiful Volume 5, a collection of super-pigmented nail colors created by RISD graduate Jane Schub. This new color collection ships August 15th, costs $85 and includes colors that are inspired by: "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." How autumnal.
