The Machine Gun Kelly nail polish line is here to satisfy your punk-rock style needs

Your bloody Valentine stepped into the beauty biz: the Machine Gun Kelly nail polish line, UN/DN LAQR, has officially launched, much to the delight of the rocker's fanbase (and likely Megan Fox).

With the intention of championing self-expression and creating a conversation, MGK's latest venture has resulted in a collection of bold colors that are available as singles and gift sets. (This might be worth noting if you're scouting for early Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers.) 

Shoppers can expect a dark black hue called "Depressionist" and a Kelly green shade titled "Mary Jane." There are also, perhaps surprisingly to some, shades of pastel, including a cool blue called "Bad Tendencies" and "Vertigo," a step up from lavender.

"My first brand has been incubating for over a year, now it’s ready," the rocker wrote on Instagram alongside a promo video. 

Check out the celebration of color for yourself!
