For Summer 2018, CND is heating things up with a beautiful four-piece sunkissed collection called the Boho Spirit Collection. Available in both the Vinylux ($12.50 CAD for 15ml each) and the salon-exclusive Shellac formulation, the range is fun and full of bright energy. I've got swatches and reviews of each shade to share with you. To read on, click......
Offbeat:
This is a bright coral pink formulated with a rich, pigmented formulation. The application is super smooth so only two coats are needed for an opaque coverage. Offbeat is actually a great alternative to one of my favorite discontinued summer nail colors from Nicole by OPI called "Coral of the Story", so definitely pick this up if you love pinks and reds.
Uninhibited:
A soft peachy pink, Uninhibited has a smooth and even finish but the pigmentation is rather sheer. I needed three coats for a completely flawless coverage.
Vagabond:
A soft milky sand, Vagabond is slightly sheer but creamy. I needed three coats for an even, opaque coverage.
Gypsy:
This is a bright popsicle orange. The formulation has more of a translucent finish so it's definitely on the sheerer side. I was able to get away with two coats on a few nails but needed a third on the others to obtain a fully even and smooth coverage.
Overall, this is such a gorgeous and sunny collection. I love the color selection but do wish some of the shades were more pigmented. Nevertheless, if you love oranges and pinks, then definitely check out "Offbeat" and "Gypsy". What's your go-to summer nail color? Share with me in the comments below!
