After a bit of a drought, except for new collections, Gelish has introduced two new colors to the core Mini lineup. Note that, as far as I know, these polishes are available in Mini only*.
The names are Creme De La Femme (left above) and French Kiss and Tell (right above). These colors are great foundation colors for french manicures and other nail art, and make excellent neutrals for times when you don’t want flashy nails.
*By chance I discovered that Creme De La Femme seemed very close in color (though not formulation) to the new Gelish Structure Gel in Cover Pink.
Comparing new Gelish brush-on Structure gel to the previous formulation in a pot.
This happened because around the time I bought these 2 new Minis from Sally Beauty, I was wearing plain nails overlaid with PolyGel and then capped with Structure Gel in Cover Pink. I compared the two and immediately noticed how similar they are. When looking at French Kiss and Tell, I noticed that the color seemed very close the the shade of Structure Gel in Translucent Pink. My theory is that Gelish used the pigmentation they had created for the Structure Gels to produce two new colors for the Mini lineup.
Whether or not that’s the case, these are 2 beautiful and useful colors to add to your offerings. I wore the Cover Pink color for a couple weeks and got good reviews on it. The nails looked simple and clean, and the color stayed true for those two weeks.
