This nail polish has an orchid purple base with pink-gold magnetic pull.
The Sorites Paradox is sort of a philosophical paradox related to vagueness. It examines how we define terms and use them practically. The classic example is this:
A collection of 10,000 grains of sand is a heap of sand, but at which grain of sand did it become a heap? How many grains of sand would we need to remove before it is no longer a heap? The paradox asks if adding one grain of sand doesn't make a heap, when does it become a heap? Similarly, if buying one bottle of nail polish doesn't make it an addiction, at what exact bottle number should I start being concerned? If the line is a blurry one, then theoretically I'm only ever one bottle of polish away from having a perfectly normal hobby.
Sorites Paradox is part of the Philosophy 101 collection
