"You thought you were a Julie. Your nails always knew."
There's a version of you that wanted the pastel blazer and the house in the hills and the boy who drove a convertible. There is also a version of you that owned the Misfits on vinyl and knew the convertible was a trap. Death Valley Girl is for the version that figured out those two things were never actually in conflict.
Somewhere along the way it occurred to me to wonder what a goth version of that film would look like. The answer, after considerable thought, is: pretty much the same. More melancholy. Slightly more ennui. The convertible is still a trap but now it's also a metaphor.
Death Valley Girl is a thermochromic that shifts from a deep, almost-black plum — the kind of color that belongs at a funeral in Encino — to a warm, mauvey pink that turns out to be exactly your color once the sun comes out. There's shimmer in there. It is not announcing itself. It knows what it is.
Details
Finish: Thermochromic with stealth shimmer
Cool State: Deep black-plum
Warm State: Warm mauvey pink
Shimmer: Present in both states — subtle, not showy
Opacity: 2–3 coats for full color-shift effect
Size: 15ml
Formula: 21-free base, vegan, cruelty-free
Activation Tip: Body heat does most of the work. Wrap your hands around something cold to see the dark state, or step into a warm room and watch it bloom.
Warning: Robot Bee Polish is not responsible for sudden Misfits vinyl purchases, the realization that Randy was right the whole time, or any nostalgia-induced trips to the San Fernando Valley to see what became of it. It's a mall now. It's fine.
