Green spirulina from the Sonoran Desert, CA.

This pigment is part of the Dust To Dust collection.

We break down this pigment down with a mortar and pestle. It will have texture as well as larger pieces of pigment present in the polish finish. Each batch will have slight color variations as we use different parts of the source material. 

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.

Kevin ★★★★★

I’ve been grinding my own watercolor paints for years, and this spirulina’s coarse texture and tiny flecks from the mortar-and-pestle process add a lovely, uneven depth to washes. The color itself is a rich, muted green that feels distinctly of the desert.

Charlotte ★★★★★

I was honestly surprised how much pigment I got from just a small amount—ground it myself with the mortar and pestle and the color is incredibly rich. It’s definitely not a fine powder, but that texture adds to the handmade feel.

The texture is the first thing you notice — real grit and bigger pieces from the mortar and pestle, not some finely milled powder. I ground it a bit finer myself and it still kept that desert depth. Genuinely one of the better pigments I've picked up this year.
