CND Shellac Layering: Iced Coral
NEW! The header tab at top of the page contains swatches
Sorry for inundating with swatches. I’d normally spread things out but I’m trying to take advantage of the holiday/down time to catch up on all of the editing.
Iced Coral is one of the prettiest Shellac colors for spring/summer and a great layering shade. It gives a bit of a peachy frost with a tinge of green. It usually softens and lightens any color you put it over, and smooths out the appearance (for example, over Iced Cappuccino). Over the different pinks and reds you get what I call sunshiney shades, and a good mix of peaches.
Iced Coral over Tropix
Iced Coral over Tutti Frutti
Iced Coral over Hot Pop Pink
Iced Coral over Gotcha
Iced Coral over Rose Bud
Iced Coral over Cappuccino
Iced Coral over Cocoa
Iced Coral over Romantique
Iced Coral over Strawberry Smoothie
Iced Coral over Black Pool
Putting Iced Coral over Rock Royalty or Fedora will have similar results. There is a slight color difference, but almost negligible.
Ok, Anonymous, keep in mind I have done a LOT of layering. These were all two main color coats and very thin top layers. I wouldn't say the brush is dry, but you need to do it using a very light hand. Good luck!
Hillary, how many coats did you use for the layering with Rose bud, Strawberry Smoothie, and Romantique? My manicurist tried two coats of Strawberry Smoothie under one coat of Iced Coral and it definitely did not look like yours! Please help!
