I really needed colour today, so I did not take the obvious monochrome approach. This was my first opportunity to use my new Ciate polish, and I thought a soft pink stamping polish would compliment it. Sadly, I did not do this Ciate polish justice. In real life it shifts from purple to green, apparently this effect is duochrome.

Lovely! I really like the pink over it. So does the Konad do well even after it's mixed to give you a colour? I imagine it took so little pink polish in the Konad white that it's unnoticeable. Is that the case? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Debz! I had about 1/3 old konad white left and added 1/2 bottle of Loreal Color Riche, 403 Femme Fatale (in stages). The konad white is such a strongly pigmented polish, it takes a lot to colour it. I tested it first (http://robertawilko.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/stamping-polish-experiment.html) and wanted it to be pinker, so added more red. The consistency became that of a brand new konad polish. It seems just as opaque and works just as well.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Thanks for letting me know :) When mine is nearly done, I'll have to have a go at something similar.
