Tonight I have an unexpectedly awesome lacquer to share with you: this is Ricki's Coral Caspia.
I found this at the Canadian clothing retailer, Ricki's, for a few bucks. I'm really happy I did pick this up, because it's a diamond in the rough. Coral Caspia is a borderline neon coral with a gorgeous silver/blue shimmer. I didn't manage to capture this in the pictures very accurately, but in person it was very beautiful.
The first two pictures are the most colour accurate, but in this next picture (under artificial lighting), I think the silver/blue flash is most evident. Gorgeous.
What do you think of Coral Caspia? I'm so taken with it, I'm giving it a coveted "awesome" tag. Entirely unexpected, coming from a sale bin at a clothing store!
What a nice bright color, and it looks good on you too!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm very happy with it.
DeleteNice find! I think this color would look amazing on toes! Very bright!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely- the first thing I did was put this on my toes! Awesome pedi colour.

Aww, thank you- you're very sweet!
DeleteIs it a matte colour? It's very nice! I didn't even know that Ricki's makes nail lacquer!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call it matte- more like a satin. It dries that way because of the neon pigment in it. With a topcoat it's perfectly shiny, though!
DeleteAnd I didn't know Ricki's made nail lacquer, either! But I must have noticed my lacquer-senses tingling or something, because I definitely homed in on it quickly. ;)
oh i love corals! this one is gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Thank you, Lydz!
DeletePretty color! Does it have the rubber looking finish?
ReplyDeleteIt's slightly rubber-y without topcoat, but I think that's mostly because of the neon pigment in it. :)
DeleteI really like the satin/rubbery-y finish. The shimmer prevents it from falling flat.
ReplyDeleteThe shimmer is what makes this a special polish, I think- I really love the silvery/blue shimmer combined with the bright neon coral!
DeleteI looove corals! The shimmer makes it pretty awesome...is it like one of the those CG Summer Neon polishes? The coral one with the shimmer...
ReplyDeleteI didn't actually pick up any of the CG neons this time around! But I imagine it may be, with the shimmer and all.
