I just received my bottle of Ray of Light from HSN today, and the flakies are Copper to (very light) green. They're most similar to the flakies in Nubar 2010.
The color also builds to opacity in two coats, but I chose to use a basecolor to keep it from having a bumpy surface.

Hope this helps!
 
New colors up on the Lippmann website! Swagga Like Us, Private Dancer, and Sugar Daddy. I hope swatches come out soon, because Swagga Like Us reminds me of Chanel Peridot and its assorted dupes, and Sugar Daddy reminds me of Glamorous Life. Hopefully they've got some sort of interesting duochrome shift or something!

LADIES. guess what just came in the maillllll!??!?! :woot:

I had issues getting the green side of the flakes to show on the nails in pictures, but you can definitely see it in RL. the last picture out in the sun is the most color accurate for the blue base. sooooooooo gorgeous. might be one of my new favorite DLs!

This is two coats of Ray of Light, no base color or top coat

Thanks for the swatch pics! The first one in the sunlight reminds me a lot of my current pedi (DL AtU with CG Luxe & Lush on top) and the second one I wonder if it could be replicated by a navy jelly with nubar 2010 or one of the finger paints flakies? Can you tell I'm trying to talk myself out of buying more polish?!???? :laugh: It's SO horrible - I don't think I've used any of my FP flakies nor nubar 2010...
