Two Burgundy Gel Polish Shades: Ink Metro & Ink Cherryplum
I’m trying to work through some of my untried polishes, and I came across two burgundy shades by Ink. This is a great shade for the season so I thought I’d share. Both shades have a creamy finish and have decent coverage with two coats, but I applied three coats in these swatches. Ink Metro #49 is the lighter of the two shades as seen below.
And this is Ink Cherryplum #26. It definitely has some purple undertones, but the label on the bottle is way off on this one. I’ve had this bottle for quite a while so this may have been corrected since I bought this. If not, try not to be thrown off by the label. :)
When I look at the polish colors in the two pictures above they look very similar, so I took a picture of my swatch sticks side by side so that you can see that they are definitely different. Metro didn’t look as light/bright on my nails as it does on a clear swatch stick. And when compared like this you can definitely see the purple undertones in Cherryplum.
Both are gorgeous, and Metro sounds exactly like what I’ve been looking for. Thanks.
They both look gorgeous!
I’m looking for a gel-polish in the same color as Essie’s Bahama Mama.
Do you know any similiar ones? I know it is a hard question. :(
I was searching online for pictures of every Red-Burgundy-Berry Color of “Gelish”.
I thought maybe “Bella’s Vampire”? I think “A Touch of Sass” is a bit too much red leaning…
Could “Cherryplum” be the one I am looking for?
Sorry, you may not even have “Bahama Mama” by Essie! I just really love this shade… and I would love to know your Opinion.
Sorry, I don’t have that color to do any comparisons.
I looked it up online – it looks a little like Gelish Rendezvous.
Thank you for your quick answer. I really appreciate that you even looked it up online.
I nearly bought Rendezvous (based on your swatches I thought it would be a match)… but I saw so many pictures of Rendezvous leaning really pink and washed out …not as deep as I expected it to be.
I guess I just have to find out the “hard” way … buying lots of polishes in the same shade! :D
We can’t buy it in our country. I have to trust the pictures online.
Thank you again… I really appreciate it.
