Ink Soak-Off Gel Polish Purple Swatches
Alter Ego is a light blue/grey-ish purple with a cream finish. I would say this has a very periwinkle feel to it. It went on a bit thin, so I applied three coats to get the coverage that you see here. The swatch stick that I created for this color is a couple years old and now has a brown-ish tint to it. That’s an indication that this color may fade with exposure to sunlight, though I haven’t conducted an official fade test to confirm.
Scarlet Empress is a beautiful shimmery light purple. It looks like it has some pink-ish tones when it’s next to these other purples, but it’s a pretty classic lilac shade. Ink does these shimmery finishes so well. This polish came out a little sheer, so I applied three coats for better coverage.
Capitvate is indeed a very captivating glittery dark purple with blue tones. It has scattered flecks of blue in it that make it really pop. I also applied three coats of this color for best coverage.
Vivid Violet doesn’t look anything like the label on the bottle, and doesn’t appear very vivid to me. It’s is a very vampy, dark reddish purple that appears dark burgundy in some lights. This color was opaque in just two coats and applied nicely, but just wasn’t the shade I was anticipating to come out of the bottle!
ooo! Captivate is going on my wish list!!
hmmm and I wonder how Empress would be for an effects topper over different colors??
OMG!!! they are all so very lovely!!! Lovely colors and the finish is just perfect! This will be in my purchase list.
Hi Andrea. I have a gel polish that’s a bit gloopy. What is the thinnig liquid like? Have you used it? And which is best to buy? Hope your Nail Tech course is going well? Thanks. Mal x
Hi Mal, it’s just a thin liquid with a dropper and you put a few drops in your bottle at a time and shake it up until you get the right consistency. The one I have is no longer around, but LeChat makes one called Gelos I believe.
Thanks Andrea. Does it work OK?
Yea, it works pretty well

Hi Ana. I don’t sell Ink gel polish. You can find the manufacturer at http://www.glamandglits.com/
Hi. Does pink gellac sell their base & top coat by themselves? (Not in a kit? If not can you recommend a good universal base & top coat that I can use with any brand.
Yes, they’re sold separately.
Dear Andrea,
Glam and Glitz has discontinued these. I loved Reflection, which was a very light pink jelly base with round holographic glitter. Can you suggest any dupes please, I am unable to find any. All the pink glitter polishes I can find have a clear or opaque base.
