Color4Nails provided a little info about the duo so you can read the inspiration behind the duo!

Orpheus was the son of Apollo, a very gifted musician whose music could charm mortals, animals and the trees. Eurydice was the wife of Orpheus. One day Eurydice was wandering with the nymphs and a shepherd named Aristaeus attempted to make advances toward Eurydice and she ran off. While running she was bitten by a snake and died.

Being so grief stricken, Orpheus played his sorrows in his music which was heard by gods and men.

In such need for his love he went in search of Eurydice in the underworld. In the underworld he sang his sorrow with such perfection that Pluto, Proserpine and all of the ghosts of the underworld stopped. Orpheus’ song made Proserpine and Pluto grant him his desire. They let Eurydice leave with him under one condition; he could not look at her until they left the underworld.

When they had nearly left the underworld, Orpheus had forgotten his promise and wanted to assure that Eurydice was following him, so he glanced back, their eyes met and she was instantly gone.  Orpheus didn’t even have a chance to hug his love. In such love for his wife, Orpheus wanted to follow her in death. He wandered back into the underworld and kept playing his heartbreaking song.

Orpheus’s singing had caused the Thracian maidens to get angry and screamed to drown out his overpowering music. The maidens ripped him apart and placed his remains in Libethra.

Now in death, Orpheus and Eurydice walk the fields together in true happiness.

These shades release this coming weekend, so let’s take a closer look at each one.

Orpheus

Orpheus is a dark charcoal grey jelly base packed with gold shimmer and holographic shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Eurydice

Eurydice is my favorite of the duo. Eurydice is a cherry red jelly with pink shimmer and holographic shimmer mixed in. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Contrary Polish Orpheus & Eurydice Overview

I really like both shades in this duo. The base colors are classic and the delicate shimmer and holo within are the right balance to give up some flare but not overpower the jelly bases. I had no application issues and both shades glided on super easy and flawlessly.

This set will not be available individually at this time
