Hindsight with Shellac colours

[Yummymummynails]

Hiya
I've just done my shellac brings them back training and now adding shellac to my menu.
I only have four colours plus French, going to invest in some more.
Just wondering which colours you find popular? Think best to offer? I sadly can't buy all of them ...just yet !! ?

Hi there,
Go have a look at this thread
Salon Geek - Shellac Color Buying Guide (updated for 2012)
I found it very useful.

With the benefit of hindsight, I maybe would not have bought:

Cocoa
Hotski to Tchochke
Blackpool
Rock Royalty
Purple Purple
Mother of Pearl (everyone opts for Zillionaire if they want glitter)

as these are the ones I have never used apart from on my colour wheels.

But then it's down to your client base - mine are quite conservative and their idea of nail art is a rhinestone on their thumb at Christmas lol - but it's nice to have all the colours to offer so I'm glad I bought them really and anyway I think they may be more popular on toes in the summer (I've only been doing Shellac since January)

The colours I use ALL THE TIME are:

Strawberry Smoothie (on its own and layered)
Moonlight & Roses (layered)
Iced Coral (mostly layered on other colours)
Wildfire
Tutti Frutti
Tropix
Zillionaire
Masquerade

S2 are doing a fab offer with shellac at the moment with the 3.0 pack, it's a good start. Tropix is a must too! X

see i find rock royalty and cocoa popular. Also hot pop pink and cityscape are quite popular! good idea to have one from each colour range i.e. bright pink, pale pink, a couple of darks, french, a couple of shades of red, wildfire is my fave hope this helps

It's so interesting that depending on your demographic which Shellac colors are popular.

Brillant.
I've ordered some of the bright colours, including tropix. Going to offer the colours as a summer collection, great suggestions everyone x

I was thinking the exact same thing! Fascinating. I loved Blossom's comment, that her clients' idea of nail art is a rhinestone on their thumb at Christmas lol! :lol:

Currently my most requested colours are Blackpool, Purple Purple and Dark Lava. Tropic and Tutti Frutti will popular again if we ever get the sun!! X

My clients' favourite summer colours are Tutti Frutti and Tropix. Rubble is a one and otherwise all of the reds are always popular. If I had to pick 2 reds that are chosen most it would be Masquerade and Hollywood.

My least used bottles are Purple Purple, Moonlight and Roses, Hotski to Tchotchki and Cocoa.
