Hi Geeks,
I thought I would start another thread inspired by a comment made on Rinn's thread called, Who do you think CND are?
Rinn mentioned Iced Coral was a shelf sitter for her until she tried it layered over Tropix. Now for me its the complete opposite. I use Iced Coral a lot. I don't think I've ever used it on it on own but here are a few of the most popular combinations. Gotcha with Iced Coral reminds me of those pinky, orange tulips. Purple Purple with Iced Coral reminds me of petrol. Cityscape and Iced Coral is a pretty nude colour. It's also very popular over Cake Pop, Lilac Longing and Azure Wish.
For my shelf sitters I find wearing the colours on myself, or trying out new nail art based around those colours gets a lot more interest. For example Blackpool rarely gets used but I now use it for artwork such as leopard print, zebra print etc. I used it as a base colour and layered it with Grapefruit Sparkle which has been a colour that's grabbed clients attention. I've only had one client actually chose it over the past few weeks but a lot of them have said in Autumn/Winter it'll be their first dark colour!
Zillionaire, Mother of Pearl, Silver VIP Status and Gold VIP Status also go through a faze when they aren't used much. When I ask my clients if they'd like a glitter coat over the top of their colours I think they get scared. They see my Rockstar colour pops and think that's what they are getting. Now don't get me wrong Rockstars are huge and a lot of my clients have them on a regular basis but I have a few who are more reserved but I've found a way around it. If they aren't sure I quickly whip out either the colour pop or the bottle to match the colour on their nails, for example Pink Bikini. I then paint on a bit of the four glitters mentioned to show them the end result. 9 times out of 10 they will then go for one of the glitter coats.
So what do you all do? Do you have shelf sitters that you can share ideas on how to budge them with us? How do you promote these colours to clients?
I look forward to hearing all your fabulous ideas and creations.
