Gelish Swatches ONLY!

Here is my attempt at OPI Pompeii Purple. It's two coats of Tiger Blossom, & one coat of Star Burst. It's very close IRL, the PP has a tad more blue shimmer to it. Photos indoors with flash & outdoors in sun. Last two photos are comparison-Gelish combo on left, one coat of OPI PP on right.

Oops, I just realized my picture of my Gelish manicure out in the sunlight did not post.

Gelish Midnight Caller (2 coats) and Vegas Nights (1 coat) in the sun. So pretty and sparkly!

Paying it forward since I have been lurking and learning here on TPF. Since I'm looking to add a couple more colors, it's been so helpful seeing them in "real life". I would have made several purchase mistakes without all these pics! So thanks, everyone.

My first Gelish color, three coats of Need A Tan. It's nice with only two coats also, just sheer. It's aptly named I think, because that's what I thought - I need a tan with this. I think it would be gorgeous against darker skin.

My 11-year old daughter starts school this week and wanted to rock Ooba Ooba Blue.

For the French manicure on her fingernails, I did two coats of Ooba Ooba on the tips, one coat of Simple Sheer to backfill from the tip, and two coats of Vegas Nights on top.

For her toes, I did two coats of Ooba Ooba and two coats of Vegas Nights.

Some of these look pretty true to color, some are a bit off due to the lighting. Passion looks more orange to me in this pic but it is a brighter pink color IRL. Sheet White is white and blends into the paper! Bashful has a very light pearl look to it.

2 Coats of RCM Drop Dead Gorgeous (dupe for Ocean Wave) and 1 coat of Good Gossip. First pic indoors, second pic outside in the sun - still didn't show all the Good Gossip sparkliness!
