\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A company called SRANGEBEAUTIFUL has come up with some sets of nail polish designed to appeal to the Proustian-minded among us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“….a range of 10 diaphanous veils of wildly haunting colors with inspiration ranging from 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. Visceral and private, each shade cloaks the finger in an aqueous film of color for an effect that is strange, beautiful, and impossible to forget.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hahahahaha! Isn’t that fantastic???? Other sets are avilable, each absurdly pretentious.<\/p>\n

I like how this set includes the color “Menstrual Last Day.” Hopefully they have “First Day of Menstruation” in one of the other sets.<\/p>\n

I love colors and the names for colors. I loved my box of crayola crayons as much for the names as the actual colors. When Max was little, we deferred to his acute appreciation of color by showing him something of indeterminate hue and asking him, “What do you call this color, Max?” He would take a moment to consider and say something like, “I call it tan.”<\/p>\n

In the spirit of STRANGEBEAUTIFUL, I want to invent my own set of nail polish colors:<\/p>\n

Cubism
\nGruyere
\nStill Spotting
\nHep C
\nWittgenstein
\nVirgin Birth
\nMishima Cultist Coral
\nClogged Drain
\nHypothermia Blue<\/p>\n

Have a look at the nail polish here<\/a>.  \u00a0$85 per set.<\/p>\n

And contribute your own colors if you are so inclined!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
