Blood Oath Nail Polish - true red creme with flecks of black & grey

Blood Oath is a deeply saturated red creme nail polish with just a slight translucency for depth. It features occasional flecks of black or grey, and is a true red, neither pinkish nor orangeish! It is really challenging to achieve a true red while sticking with vegan ingredients, so we are extra proud of this one!

Inspiration: The Klingon-centric Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Blood Oath," focusing on Dax's long quest to avenge the murders of Dax's godsons.
