How can I make a midnight blue colour with Shellac?

[80's Girl]

So, a client has requested 'a midnight blue with a bit of sparkle'. Guess which shellac colour I don't have ....

Does anyone have any layering suggestions?

Many thanks

Try Blackpool with Negligee... a dark blue with shimmer. If she wants sparkle you could try Mother of Pearl over it...

Can you use an additive with the colours you do have?

Midnight Swim is pretty much a midnight colour already. A layer of Mother of Pearl over it would add the sparkle.

If you look above she says guess which colour she doesn't have, hence why she's trying to find a comparison :wink2:

I agree with Blackpool and Negligee, it's a gorgeous navy blue and then yes, MOP or Silver VIP over would give lovely sparkle

Try azure wish with blue haven additive makes a lovely royal blue (if your client doesn't mind lol) x

So after some experimentation I went with Overtly Onyx plus Cerulean Blue additive and Silver VIP. I think its lovely - I might have to have this myself!

Deep blue additive works a treat over blackpool. Really pretty.
