New! Entopolishy is bug-inspired artisan nail polish that you won't find anywhere else. The inspirational colors of insects have been translated into wearable nail art, perfect for you or the insect lover in your life.
This collection includes the two most famous Uraniid Day-Flying Moths, the Green Banded Urania (U. leilus), and the Sunset Moth (U. riphaeus). This family of moths is known for their dazzling intense metallic coloration. I have translated these into Toppers, which mean they are made to "top" a base coat of plain black. The metallic flakes show up best that way, and will give you the closest impression to the real moths. Buy one full-size bottle or a set of three samples. (Set of 3 Sample Sizes includes the toppers plus one solid black base coat). The ingredients in these polishes are a bit more expensive, so they cost a bit more, but they have the added benefit of coming from a fellow Etsy Seller, so you're supporting two of us when you buy these.
All of my nail polishes are "21-Free", meaning they are top quality and do not contain the "Top 21 Most Harmful Chemicals" often found in nail polish. They are also Vegan and Cruelty Free. Each full sized bottle is a generous 15ml (0.5 oz), and the sample sizes are 5ml each. My polishes are formulated to look best in 2-3 coats, except for the toppers, where you'll only need 1-2 coats on top of a plain base.
Green Banded Urania Moth (U. leilus) Topper: Intense metallic color shifting flakes that go from green to gold, plus additional smaller pieces of holographic sky blue and silver. One coat should be enough over a black base.
Sunset Moth (U. riphaeus)Topper: Intense metallic color shifting flakes that go from deep pink to green to gold, plus additional metallic flakes of orange. One coat should be enough over a black base.
For best performance, I highly recommend using a base coat and a top coat. My polishes are often full of fun glitters that will be enhanced and smoothed out by a nice top coat, and a base coat underneath will extend wear and may help to prevent staining. Anything with yellow in it (yellow, green, orange) is a possible stainer, but a base coat will prevent this from happening to your nails.
I mix new batches of polish once a week, usually on Thursdays for Friday shipment. If I don't have the polish you ordered ready to ship, please keep in mind that it may take me up to a week to make a new batch. Thank you for your patience- as soon as I get an idea of demand, I will try to keep appropriate stock of everything for faster shipment. Also, please bear with me as I deal with backorders on the rectangular bottles I prefer to use- your full size bottle may come in a cylindrical bottle until I get more stock of the rectangle shaped ones, but it will still contain 15ml.
