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.

CND Shellac Layering: Negligee

NEW! The header tab at top of the page contains swatches

Negligee over any Shellac color is an easy way to add a bit of dimension, smooth out imperfections and create a bit of opalescense. It doesn’t fully come through in the photos, but in many of the colors, especially pink reds, they look a bit like Jolly Ranchers. Very pretty and summery.  If you are looking for a deep Shellac Blue, the Negligee over Black Pool will give you that color.

 

Negligee over Black Pool

Negligee over RoseBud

Negligee over Hot Pop Pink

Negligee over Gotcha

Negligee over Decadence

Negligee over Wildfire

Negligee over Masquerade

Negligee over Rock Royalty

Negligee over Cocoa

Negligee over Hollywood
Hollywood is essentially Wildfire with beautiful silver microflakes. Negligee over either looks the same.

Round 2: Nokia N8 & ELLE Fashion Correspondent

I finally got my submission in for round 2, and let’s just say I focused on the creative a tad more than others (as far as I can tell right now).  I went the (Un)Spoken Word route which pasted perfectly for upload, but then it was reformatted.  Booville.

isokay. 

To the wonderful reader/s that nominated me in May as favorite blog to go to Malaysia with Cellnique – thank you and I love you and I know you’re thinking “DangIbotheredtonominategirlforasurprisetripandluxuryspaexperienceandsheblowsitoff” but I did not want to blow it off.  There is only so much a girl can do, and I also felt I had a conflict with another skincare trial I am doing now. I was still very touched and squealy.  I would love to see this through and would appreciate if you would channel that enthusiams to find my submission, to LIKE it via your Facebook login.  I will say it is a bit of a daunting task the way they have it set up.  At this time it is still under Gallery and then Select by Date as a top submission. 

But do you know what else? YOU HAVE TO VISIT THE SITE for the sheer number of amazing blogs getting exposure!  500 entries made it to round 2, and it is refreshing to get a few new voices and takes.  Love it, try it. 

Last but not least I’ve been trialing the awesomely pink Nokia N8.  I thought I could post directly from the phone but since it is a trial that hasn’t been made available I’m compiling my writeup for you.  No worries. 

Don’t forget – linkylinky. Thanks again – have a safe and happy 4th of July.
