Obscura – HEMA FREE Essentials Chameleon Flake Top Coat 10g

A Mysterious Iridescent Shift of Electric Blue, Violet & Turquoise

Dark, celestial and mesmerising, Obscura is an iridescent chameleon flake special-effect gel polish top coat filled with striking flashes of electric blue, violet, turquoise and purple, with glimpses of pink appearing as the light and viewing angle change.

Over black and darker colours, Obscura reveals its most dramatic side. Brilliant blue flakes appear almost illuminated against the darkness, shifting into violet, turquoise and rich purple as the nail moves.

Over lighter colours, the effect changes completely. The transparent iridescent flakes create a softer aurora-style finish, floating over the colour beneath with flashes of cool blue, lilac, violet and turquoise.

Deep in the darkness, there's always something waiting to be revealed.

Step Into the Obscura...

Obscura is the darkest mystery of the collection – but the top coat itself doesn't need darkness to work its magic.

Its transparent, irregular chameleon flakes respond to both the colour underneath and the light around them.

Against black, Obscura becomes intensely vivid. Electric blue dominates at certain angles before shifting towards turquoise, violet and purple. Occasional flashes of pink add another dimension, making the effect appear to change continuously as the hands move.

Over lighter shades, Obscura reveals an entirely different personality.

The dramatic contrast disappears and is replaced by a delicate veil of iridescent colour. The underlying gel polish remains visible while cool flashes travel across the nail, creating an ethereal finish reminiscent of the aurora against a night sky.

From dramatic cosmic nails to delicate iridescent transformations, Obscura can be as dark or as ethereal as the colour beneath it.

Dark Base or Light Base?

🖤 Over Black & Dark Colours

This is where Obscura reveals the full intensity of its chameleon shift.

Against black, the irregular flakes burst into vivid electric blue, turquoise, violet and purple, with flashes of pink becoming visible at different angles.

The dark background creates maximum contrast, allowing the individual flakes and their colour shifts to become exceptionally prominent.

🌌 Over Light & Bright Colours

Apply Obscura over lighter colours and those same flakes take on a much softer appearance.

Rather than dominating the manicure, the transparent iridescent flakes create an aurora-style veil of blue, lilac, violet and turquoise, allowing the base colour to remain visible underneath.

Try it over pale pink, lilac, nude, blue or other pastel shades to discover entirely different effects.

What Lies in the Darkness?

Obscura is a perfect example of just how much the base colour can transform an iridescent effect.

Over black, its electric blue and violet flashes appear almost illuminated, creating an intense cosmic effect.

Layer it over a deep blue or purple and the flakes begin to blend with the colour underneath, adding flashes and movement rather than creating such dramatic contrast.

Move onto a pale nude, pink, lilac or blue and Obscura becomes softer still – a delicate scattering of cool iridescent colour that seems to appear and disappear as the nail catches the light.

For professional nail technicians, this means a single bottle can unlock countless new combinations from an existing colour collection.

The swatch over black demonstrates the full intensity of the chameleon flakes. Results over other colours will vary depending on the shade underneath, lighting and viewing angle.
