Somewhat complicatedly, this collection is inspired by Professor Albert H Musnell who created a ‘rational way to describe colour’ using decimal notation instead of names. He based it on three dimensions; Chroma (colour purity), Hue (value) and Brightness (to correspond to saturation of the perceived colour).
See, I said it was complicated. I can’t even think why anyone would want to use decimal notations to describe colour when we have a language that does it perfectly as it is. However, he did and I guess if he hadn’t, we wouldn’t be looking at these glorious nail polishes now!
And, the biggest news for me is that Strangebeautiful are now selling their polishes as singles at £18 each, making the brand a little bit more accessible. I’ve put a few shots up of the shades and the very individual bottle shape, but you can see the rest on the Liberty of London website.

WOWZER, now these are my sort of shades!
Well, we already have hexadecimal notations to describe colour… and the answer is because we might want computers to understand how to model colours more effectively than words can allow 🙂
These are absolutely stunning! If I could justify that much on nail varnish, I’m sure that I would buy the whole lot.

PLEASE, please ALL go & nag Verity at Cultbeauty.co.uk to get them to stock this set. They do stock StrangeBeautiful but sadly not this one….yet.
I am soooo DYING for this bright & happy Super Chroma collection. The only place socking the whole set is Luckyscent in the US & they don’t ship internationally anymore.
I do love the intellectual elements of Strangebeautiful. Colour is so fascinating to me, and I love how they put collections together. That said I’ve never been able to afford a collection so I’m rather pleased to hear about the individual polishes!
would love to see how these look on your nails BBB! Hope you can get your hands on some as would be interested to know what they’re like to use and see them swatched
