COAL: Taylor, Texas (Dust to Dust) - Main image
$9.66 $14 In stock

Made from charcoaled coconuts in Taylor, TX.

This pigment is part of the Dust To Dust collection.

We break down this pigment with a mortar and pestle. The polish is naturally colored from the pigment that is broken down and will have texture as well as larger pieces of pigment present in the polish finish. The coal creates spots and streaks on the nail and has a jelly/crelly texture.

Larger particles will naturally stick to the bottom and sides of the bottle and not suspend in the polish base. Be aware that the natural pigment in this polish can stain. We suggest using two coats of base coat and for long wear a coat of nude polish underneath.

This polish comes with a removable handmade decorative bronze cap atop our standard black matte nail polish cap - merging artistry with function. To forego bronze caps on your order, click here.

Ryan O. ★★★★★

Grinding this pigment myself with a mortar and pestle felt oddly therapeutic, and the charcoaled coconut base gives it a depth that store-bought powders just don't have. It's a small batch, but a little goes a long way for my projects.

Michael D. ★★★★★

The charcoal from Texas gives this pigment a really deep, rich black that I haven't found with other powders. It broke down nicely with a mortar and pestle just as described, and the natural color is exactly what I was hoping for.

Olivia ★★★★★

The process of breaking it down with a mortar and pestle was surprisingly satisfying, and the deep black from the charcoaled coconuts is unlike any synthetic pigment I've used. It mixes beautifully into my oil medium with a rich, even tone.
