Paint your way into the dark world of academia. Whether you’re feeling like a curious first year getting acquainted with campus, or an ambitious intellectual intent on challenging the academic order, this eight-piece set holds the key to unlocking your pedagogical potential. Try on three rich new crèmes and a provocative oxblood crelly shade as introductory fall material, or aim for the highest order of formulas with four distinguished specialty polishes. The choice is yours… what sacrifices are you willing to make for your future? 

Collection includes: Ivory Tower, Foreshadow, Head Hunter, Devil's Advocate, Silent Library, Secret Society, Inkwell and Ivy League.

    • Includes four specialty polishes in deeply sophisticated shades, one oxblood red crelly (aka formula is in between a crème and a translucent jelly), and three full-coverage crème polishes. 
    • Apply 2-3 coats for full coverage 
    • Polishes include a medium-width rounded brush 
    • Pro quick-dry tip: Finish off with a Glossy Taco for a quick-dry glossy finish to make your mani last longer without chipping.
    • Designed by Simply Nailogical 
    • Made in USA of globally sourced ingredients 
    • 12ml / 0.4 fl oz each 
    • 10-free 
    • Super-pigmented shades may cause staining depending on the porousness of the nail and the use of a protective base coat. Polish should be stored in a cool, dark place to keep it at its best for longer and to prevent the colour or consistency from changing. 
    • Batch variability: Please note specialty polishes are created using unique pigments that may vary slightly between batches. 
    • Due to metallic pigments which are prone to tarnishing, the overall colour or tone of metallic-based formulas may fade or change over time.

Dark Academia is brilliant

As a gel girl, I was a bit hesitant to try regular nail polish again, but oh my. This collection is brilliant. I have done a skittle mani with all of the polishes in this collection, and it's looking fab. My favorites so far are Inkwell, Ivy League and Silent Library (the latter is the one I thought I'd like the least, since I'm not really into blues). Foreshadow is a gorgeous, warm gray, which I think we all need in our collections. I'm generally more of a creme fan, but the specialties here are amazing. The application is smooth, and the finish is magnificent. Like others have said, I wish these had been available while I was studying. Surprisingly the mood board and general vibe of the collection is making me want to go back to university. Added a picture of my right hand. I didn't have a nail polish bottle available so I used my rubber duck instead. Inkwell, Head Hunter, Secret Society, Ivy League, and Silent Library on my pinky.

Just my vibe

I have loved the dark academic style for so many years at this point. So when I saw the Dark Academia collection, I knew I just had to have it. It whispered to me down otherwise silent halls, and ran along my cobblestones. I can't even pick a fave out of the eight because they are all so gorgeous and perfect, in their own right and in combination. Go on, treat yourself to a good book and beautiful mani.
