CND Shellac - Butterfly Queen 7.3ml/0.25 fl oz

Love the colour the photos don’t do it justice. Very well packaged. Thank you.

Easy to do, shellac is definitely the best in my opinion, much better staying power than the gel varnishes

Nice color for summer, but not much easy to apply.

Firstly, this post is about the COLOUR, not the delivery, not the concept of shellac and certainly not a rant about EU regulations. This is because this is what I would look for in a CND colour review, so I hope that works for you too.I have posted a couple of photos of this colour because I thought it was so difficult to describe. In bright conditions it really is the most beautiful 'Cadburys' purple. The colour is deep, with a slight sheen. In dull conditions it looks more like a royal blue with a purple hue (again there is a photo) and in the evening and indoors it is more like a navy blue with a purple hue.I find this colour extremely enjoyable to wear, because it is a bit snazzy when it looks purple but it is absolutely beautifully professional for me to go to work / meetings with. It doesnt look at all out of place with a work suit. Having 2 or 3 colours in one means that I havent got at all bored, which is very unusual for me.In case you are wondering, because this does appear blue in some light conditions, it is quite different from the 'Midnight Swim' CND colour (which is very dark aqua blue).You do need 3 coats to get enough coverage, but if you layer thinly, it will build up beautifully.You may also notice from the photos that it lasts. These were taken over a week after application and is growing out but still completely intact.Enjoy :o)

Really good gel , hard waring and nice finish.

Eternal Midnight - Nightspell, sadly this colour is really watery. Even after applying 4 coats to one nail it's still quite see through.

Quick delivery. Product as described. Lovely colour.

I'm not a nail tech, however, I bought a Mylee Gel Kit so that I could do my own nails at home cheaply as I can't justify going to a salon every 3 weeks. Anyway, I got some Mygel colours with the kit and they are FAR superior to this CND colour. Admittedly, I have never used Shellac colours previously but I wanted a lovely rich purple. This is NOT a nice rich purple; it is a watery nothingness and looks like I've applied a cheap nail varnish. I can't comment on longevity as I have only just applied it but I can't see it lasting very long. Actually, I will be removing it in a few days as it looks so bad. I don't know whether it is just this particular colour, but I probably won't buy Shellac again. The Mygel colours are so much better, richer and only need two coats, whereas I did three with this one and they are still a little translucent. A waste of money in my opinion

This colour is really hard to find. The sparkle is great for summer

Love this brand and colour!

I regularly use the CND product line and would recommend it to anyone who is cutting their nails with an LED/UV light. With this said, from this supplier, the periodic never arrived. I've had to reach out to request a refund. Hopefully this will go without issue.

This is absolutely gorgeous on! I love it as an accent nail and even on it own. I've done it with a Shiney top coat as well as Matte it that's pretty cool too! This has been in my top 10 for a few years now. There no other color quite like it. It's black with a bit of glitter but is easy to apply and goes on smooth.. I will be using this color forever!
