Ricki's Coral Caspia

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!

  4. Is it a matte colour? It's very nice! I didn't even know that Ricki's makes nail lacquer!

    1. I 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!

      And 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. ;)

    1. It's slightly rubber-y without topcoat, but I think that's mostly because of the neon pigment in it. :)

  7. I really like the satin/rubbery-y finish. The shimmer prevents it from falling flat.

    1. The shimmer is what makes this a special polish, I think- I really love the silvery/blue shimmer combined with the bright neon coral!

    1. I didn't actually pick up any of the CG neons this time around! But I imagine it may be, with the shimmer and all.
