Hi everyone. I’m working through all of my untried polishes to get them swatched, and today I have some light pinks to show you. Pinks and mauves are known to have fading issues, so I did fade tests on all of these polishes and I’m happy to report that none of them had issues. They are listed below from lightest to darkest (I think). I also have some medium pink polishes that are a few shades darker than these that I’ll be swatching in the next week or so.
This is ibd Just Gel Polish I’m No Damsel, the lightest pink that I currently own. It has a nice creamy finish and is pretty opaque with three coats. It still had some visible nail line with just two coats, so you could wear it with two coats but it would be a little more sheer. This pink is so pale that it almost looks white in some lights… it’s a really nice, soft color.
This is ibd Just Gel Polish North Wind. It’s also very pale, but it has a slight blue-ish tint to it and has a frosty finish. It will show your brush lines if you don’t apply carefully in long strokes. It still shows just a touch of visible nail line after three coats.
Gelaze Diva Bride is also a pale pink, and I think it appears to have a bit of a peachy tint to it. I really love this color and think it would be great for spring and Easter. It’s a little sheer and also just barely shows some visible nail line after three coats.
Pan-Duh is another frosty light pink by ibd. This color is a little richer pink than the others from ibd. This frosty finish will also show brushstrokes if not applied carefully.
And lastly, this is Artistic Colour Gloss Glisten. Glisten has a nice shimmer finish and is opaque in two to three coats. Glisten reminds me of Gelish Light Elegant, except it’s a little more pink and Light Elegant leans a little peachy. The finish is very similar though.
And here is a comparison picture of all of my light pinks next to one another. You can click on the image below to see it in a larger size. I no longer own the ones that have X’s marked on them. You’re So Sweet is a fader and this is shown in it’s faded state.
