• Hades: Inspired by the Greek god of the underworld and death, Hades embodies retrained beauty with a deep black reminiscent of the underworld. This shimmering ink is littered with frozen blue glitter which gives it an ethereal look to capture the essence of the afterlife.
  
  
• Anubis: The lord of the Underworld is one of the most significant figures in Ancient Egyptian mythology, Anubis was credited with inventing the mummification process which enabled people to live on in the afterlife should they be worthy. Anubis was also said to be the guide of souls and was often depicted guiding souls across the threshold between the world of the living and the afterlife. One of his more famous roles however was the weighing of hearts, where Anubis would weigh a persons heart against the truth -which was usually represented as an ostrich feather- to judge their worthiness to enter the afterlife. Hearts heavier than the feather would be devoured by Ammit while those lighter would ascend to the afterlife.
