Welcome to the new Shades of Phoenix blog, and to our new series, Shades of History Monday!
We are hoping to regularly bring you a little bit of trivia on Mondays, ranging from the back story behind a polish name, collection inspiration, or something else related to Shades of Phoenix, or nail polish in general. We will also be posting this series on the Shades of Phoenix Facebook page, but we all know how Facebook likes to hide the interesting things on us!
You may have seen our recent FB share of Lazy Lacquerista's nail art featuring Qandisa, so why not start there?
QANDISA
Qandisa was introduced to the range for Valentines 2013, and was part of the Everybody Loves Collection. This polish was based off an obscure female figure from Northern Moroccan mythology. Known in folk tales as an entity appearing as an attractive young lady with the propensity for a little shape-shifting, Qandisa lives in springs and rivers and her main aim in life was to seduce young men. Of course, she then drove those young men insane, and they were never seen again, so she wasn't all kisses and happiness!
The polish is much more user friendly, and as yet, SOP Headquarters have received no complaints of men disappearing. Although Qandisa is now sold out of the SOP store, she has been seen flitting around the SOP section of our Aussie stockist, Femme Fatale Cosmetics.
