2. Dante’s Inferno – Red-Purple Duochrome – £7.95

3. Death Is Hard – Black Stardust – £7.95
The Death Is Hard is the most unique finish in this comparison — a Black Stardust that defies easy categorisation. It’s not chrome, not matte, not pearl — it’s a deep, cosmic texture with a soft, reflective gleam that feels like looking into a night sky.

The Nosferatu Holographic Edition is the most complex finish in this comparison — a limited edition multichrome that shifts from deep purple to green and gold, with ultra-fine holographic shimmer layered on top.

If you want the most technically impressive nail in the range, this is it.
