Looking to buy more Shellac colours - are there some to avoid, some more popular etc?

[trudy.trudylee]

Hi, I only have 9 colours & want to buy more but i've had a problem with streaks in romantique & have had rose bud fade abroad (which reading helpful posts on here can happen).
Would you guys be able to advise of any others to avoid, and which colours youve found most popular please?
I've got - zillionaire, romantique, beau, rose bud, hollywood, tango passion, rock royalty, night glimmer, & a silver one. Thank you xx

I know!!! Hate Cake Pop with a passion. However, the last set I did I floated the brush on both coats and had a beautiful result x

 

[trudy.trudylee]

Thanks everyone. Do you all find the pinks fade quickly in the sun, chlorine etc?

 

[pinkeedee]

cake pop is beautiful but so hard to get an even coverage it always looks streaky so I put another coat on and then it looks a bit thick. I try my best to put people off this colour which is such a shame as its a perfect colour for this time of year.

 

[trudy.trudylee]

Thanks, I'm having problems like that with Romantique, gorgeous colour but streaky as hell!

I've heard of floating the brush but work out how to do it, could you explain please. thanks

For me, floating the brush is having it parallel to the nail, with enough product loaded onto the brush to simply float across the nail with a feather light touch. This avoids seeing brush strokes etc and improves coverage.

I love Cake Pop, especially with a silver holo glitter fade. It can be like pink tipex to apply so make sure you give it a good ole shake. Try getting a cocktail stick inside and giving a good stir too and see if it makes any difference. I have the colours in my lap now as a matter of course (body temp) and then I shake and they are a much better consistency.

For colour choice I love,

Tinted Love
Midnight Swim
Grapefruit Sparkle for French and for layering
Bare Chemise
Satin Pajamas

Be careful with Burnt Romance and Cream Puff as they wrinkle if you don`t do really thin coats.
I do all my French Manicures with Studio White instead and Decadence is similar to Burnt Romance.
Sultry Sunset is now a very popular colour with me as is Tropix.
