[shellac - new summer collections 2013 - pink bikini and grape gum]

I couldn't wait for these to arrive this morning and out of the four new season colours I opted for pink bikini and grape gum.

I haven't swatched the grape yet, but I have tried it quickly and it is much nicer than the bottle depicts which is often the case with shellac colours and although I wouldn't normally go for a colour like that, I have to confess it is really wearable and quite a soft grape rather than deep dark purple, which the bottle looks like.

I have taken a few pictures in different rooms with different light to try and get the correct shade but I still think it is nicer than the pictures but you get the idea!

[shellac layering - wildfire and negligee and special offer extended]

One of the great things I love about Shellac, in addition to how long it lasts and it's high shine finish is the fact that you can use two colours together to create a different colour.  Shellac call this "layering" and it gives the colour range a completely new dimension with so many more shades to be created.  The first layering option I tried today on a client was using the classic pillar box red that is wildfire (2 coats) covered with a layer of negligee, so three colour coats in total.

The negligee is a pearlescent colour that I have been using with a french manicure, the kind of colour that changes slightly as you move your hands.  By adding a layer of this over the red turns it into a dark pearlescent pinky/red a great alternative for someone who likes a classic red but isn't brave enough to wear it.



And here it is on my clients nails done earlier today .........................
