Anyway, today's post is the really pretty Pink Wishes set CND has put out in October for Breast Cancer Awareness. I'm kind of obsessed with CND Effects so I wanted this duo just for that, I was so excited when a store near me got them in! Sometimes these CND sets are hit and miss in actual stores,the Jason Wu set never showed up around here but this one did.
The colour half of this set is called Pink Wishes, it's a very light pink. Normally pink shades this light scare me because they are a nightmare to apply. That was so not the case here, this baby went on like a dream. CND knows how to make a fantastic creme polish and this is no exception. I used 2 coats of Pink Wishes for the photos below.
Pink Wishes Pearl is the effect that comes in the duo, it is a gorgeous pink/purple shimmer. Did I mention I LOVE CND effects, this is so pretty! It's pretty subtle looking over Pink Wishes but when the light catches the shimmer at the right angle it's gorgeous! If you work somewhere that won't let you wear crazy colors you might be able to get away with this...it's subtle enough that people might not notice it!
Now of course, I couldn't leave Pink Wishes Pearl alone. It was so subtle over Pink Wishes that I *had* to see it over a dark color. I put it over black and WOW. I'll let the pictures below do the talking.

ReplyDeleteThat looks great on you, and the Pink Pearl is very pretty over black. Congrats on finding it!
ReplyDeleteGORGEous! Reminds me of Violet Shimmer effect, but I still need it. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous !!!! :)
ReplyDeleteNoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Playboy Club is our favorite new show!
ReplyDeleteTwo coat light pink? Got to get my hands on that! And the effects looks amazing over black!
ReplyDeleteI have this and love it too! CND Colour/Effect Duos are my favorite to collect. Their polishes are awesome! Have you see the pictures of the holiday "Plum Truffle Colour/Effect" duo coming out? OMG!
ReplyDelete@Maribeth, I did see the Plum one! I already bought it off nailsupplies.us It needs to hurry up and get here!!
ReplyDeleteLove the nail swatches and I too was shocked when The Playboy Club got canceled :( I read online it was because people were boycotting the show.
ReplyDeleteOOOhh I think I need to order some CND special effects!
ReplyDeleteI love first two photos! super cute color!
ReplyDeleteLove pink pearl effect nailpolish :)
ReplyDeletePoor Playboy Club. I bet the people who protested it didn't even know what it was about. Some other name and it probably would have aired longer. And I agree with you about Revenge - I love The Count of Monte Cristo and I'm excited about this as the plot for Revenge.
ReplyDeletePink Wishes Pearl is pretty awesome too :)
Ugh! I was so mad about Persons Unknown! Also, FastForward was a great show that left us in a huge cliffhanger! I hate that I will never know an explanation for either show!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks ♥
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's close to Violet Shimmer, I'll have to compare them!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI love it too, I'm so sad. Brooke (Blushing Noir) was telling me that another network might pick it up *fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteI know, amazing right! The pearl effect is really awesome in this set!
ReplyDeletereally? People need to get better hobbies, if I don't like a show I just watch something else...i don't boycott it lol
ReplyDeleteYOU DO! They are so incredible!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's such a nice light pink!
ReplyDeleteMe too, it's so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThey probably didn't, hopefully another network will pick the show up! I'm right there with you about Revenge!
ReplyDeleteoh man, I forgot about Fast Forward, I liked that show too...it was good! I don't get why they got rid of it :(
ReplyDeleteThanks ♥
ReplyDeleteLove the CND tutu, is there one similar in the shellac colors????
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, I don't use Shellac so I'm not familiar with the colors. Sorry!
