Colour Comparisons

So many Nail Pro’s have been asking for colour comparison shots to see the colours from this collection up next to similar existing colours in the Shellac range. You will notice that a couple of the colours in particular are not too far away from some of the classic colours we already have. This is not surprising considering that the ICONIC collection shades were chosen because they were the most popular nail colours from back in the day. You can’t argue with a classic, and the kinds of colours loved all those years ago, are still some of our most sought after shades today.

Spike

I’m going to start with my personal favourite from the collection. It is deep and luscious with velvety metallic texture for days. Spike’s closest relatives are are all in the deep wine/bordeaux area of the shade chart.

• Darker than Masquerade
• More plum that Crimson Sash
• Less brown compared to Dark Lava

 

Satin Sheets

This bold, gently metallic red, is a dream to apply. It goes on like heaven. The existing shades closest to Satin Sheets are the super opaque, classic winter reds, though all of them are popular no matter the season.

• Deeper and less warm compared to Hollywood
• Cooler and creamier/less metallic than Tartan Punk
• Warmer and less raspberry compared to Red Baroness

 

Jiggy

What fabulously quirky colour! Jiggy lives on the border between blue and purple. It has a vibrant ultra violet quality. Simmering, light reflective and very cool.

• More metallic and purple than Blue Eyeshadow
• More vibrant and brightly blue than discontinued shade Purple Purple.
• Much further toward the blues compared to Eternal Midnight

 

Company Red

The original classic red from Creative Nail Design. Warm, creme, bold, this shade is an obvious icon. Company Red sits nicely amongst our other classic red shades, showing its age only by the slightly warmer pigment blend.

• A hint warmer and deeper than Wildfire
• Darker and less bright compared to Element
• A little deeper and more densely opaque than First Love

 

Pointe Blanc

Is it white? Is it pink? Pointe Blanc is more white than pink, a shade that can be useful for french manicures and for crisp, clean, full coverage.

• More pink and a little softer than Studio White
• Greater opacity and a bit less pink compared to Romantique
• More opaque, and pinker than White Wedding
