Shade

(sh?yd) noun / verb : The fine art of delivering a cutting insult so elegantly that the recipient isn't entirely sure they've been insulted... until they're in the car on the way home. Unlike reading, shade is subtle. Shade is a sapphire blue base with blue and turquoise holo microglitters, teal-to-blue-to-purple aurora shimmer, and black microflakes. The base of this polish is highly pigmented, so a protective basecoat, or doubling up on basecoat, is recommended if you are concerned about potential nail staining. Part of the Queer Dictionary Collection: A collection of queer slang named polishes that celebrate queer pride with shimmer, sparkle, and witty definitions. $1 from every bottle sold will be donated to the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, which protects and defends the human rights of Black transgender people while building a sanctuary rooted in joy, resilience, and unapologetic truth.
