## The Icons Shades: A Century of Blackened Reds

According to JINsoon, the shades are "inspired by a century of blackened reds," and each one reflects a different era in the history of the vampy manicure.

### Theda (1920s)

Theda is a **blackened blood red with warm undertones** and a **translucent jelly finish**. The brand says it takes its cue from the first known blackened red nail polish. It is named for silent-film star Theda Bara, who was nicknamed "The Vamp."

### Rita (1940s)

Rita is a **deep wintry plum** with a **crelly finish** (part cream, part jelly). It draws on the 1940s dark-nails trend. JINsoon says that was when advertisers first used the word "vamp" for this colour family, and the brand links the era to women wearing dark polish as a symbol of independence and power.

### Uma (mid-90s)

Uma is a **ripened fig red** with a **pearl finish** and **shifting green shimmer**. It refers to the return of dark red nails in the grunge era.

## What Makes The Icons Collection Different?

-   Each shade is tied to a named era, according to JINsoon: the 1920s (Theda), the 1940s (Rita) and the mid-90s (Uma).
-   The three shades use three different finishes: jelly, crelly, and pearl with green shimmer.
-   It is a collaboration with the @vintage\_dusties Instagram account.

## Formula Notes

According to JINsoon, The Icons shades are **21-free**, like all of its lacquers. The brand says they are made without ingredients such as formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor and parabens.

Uma's published ingredient list includes **mica, tin oxide and synthetic fluorphlogopite**, the shimmer ingredients behind its pearl finish. Theda's list does not include them. The ingredient lists for Rita and Uma both include Black 2 (CI 77266 \[nano\]).

## How to Use

According to JINsoon, Power Coat Base Coat should always be used with dark, richly pigmented shades like these. The brand says a base coat helps prevent the staining that deep reds and plums can cause.
