Opaque navy Shellac?

[DazzlingDetails]

Hey
I have a client asking for navy blue shellac, she doesn't like shimmer or glitter and wants a deep matte opaque colour, so midnight swim is a no no and I've tried the deep blue additive on top of Black Pool and that's not dark enough and has a slight shimmer to it too...There doesn't seem to be a navy in the Shellac collection, unless I'm missing it somewhere...are there any layering combos or additives anyone can think of??? To be honest I would have thought a navy would have been a staple colour to have in the collection xxx

Have you tried cerulean blue additive?

 

[DazzlingDetails]

No, I assumed that would give a similar effect to the deep blue??? Xxx

You could add a teeny touch of black additive - if you have it - to darken the blue to the desired shade

Blue rapture is close to what you want but if you want darker color you can apply it over midnight swim ( I think you can avoid the shimmery look that way) or even over black pool for even darker result. Have a try on tips first and show them to her in order to help her make a decision and take responsibility for it.
Good luck.

I believe Negligee over Blackpool is navy?

Negligee has a shimmer to it though! I remember doing midnight swim with cerulean blue over and it did have a sheen to it! Maybe over Blackpool would be better xx

You would probably be best doing Blackpool and then mixing cerulean blue and black to make a navy and then use this. It will have a tiny shimmer but do it on a colour pop and then show her.
The only navy they have is midnight swim. Often when people say they don't like a shimmer, they end up choosing one with a shimmer anyways. Who doesn't love a shimmer?? Lol!

It's barely noticeable in Midnight swim and it adds depth to the colour. Because of the mirror shine of Shellac all of the colours look shimmery anyway. Even the creams.
