Gelish Cinderella Collection Swatches & Color Comparisons

I previously posted a sneak peek of the new Gelish and Morgan Taylor Cinderella Collection colors that are coming out in February, and today I have the full color swatches and comparisons of the Gelish shades. The Gelish Cinderella Collection consists of 6 colors and 3 Trends glitter toppers. I know that you all love to see how the colors compare to existing shades in the Gelish line, so I am combining everything into one BIG post. This is going to be a very long, and graphic-heavy post! Are you ready?

Gelish MINI colors can be purchased at Sally Beauty Supply online at www.sallybeauty.com, or in retail stores. You can also purchase directly from the Gelish MINI website at www.getgelished.com!

Each of the color swatches below shows three coats of color on my natural nails. My nails are short again due to another break (I’m still blaming the cold weather). The formula of the colors was a little inconsistent. Most of them applied a little streaky, which is why I ended up using three coats to get full coverage. Each of the Trends glitter toppers are shown with two coats over my natural nails.

Party at the Palace is a minty teal blue with a beautiful shimmer finish. This color starts off very sheer, but it builds up to opacity. You can see that after three coats I still have a little visible nail line. Party at the Palace is available in a Two-of-a-Kind set with a matching Morgan Taylor shade.

Here is a picture of Party at the Palace next to some other shimmery teals. It’s not quite as sheer as Oocha Coocha.

During my fade test this color actually changed a little. With exposure to natural sunlight the color turned slightly more yellow/green. It was hard to capture in a photo, but in person you can visibly see the difference. The photo below shows a freshly painted swatch stick on the left, and one that was exposed to sunlight on the right.

My Carriage Awaits is a peachy coral shade with a subtle shimmer. This is a pretty unique color in the Gelish line.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of My Carriage Awaits with some other peach and coral shades.

Ella of a Girl is a medium pink cream… love the creative play on the name. This shade is available in a Two-of-a-Kind set with a matching Morgan Taylor shade.

Here it is next to some other light & medium pink shades. Unfortunately many of my swatch sticks are old and most are now faded, so the comparison photo below isn’t a very accurate depiction of the colors when they are first applied. The light pinks definitely have a fading issue.

Ella of a Girl also fades to a lighter shade of pink with exposure to the sunlight as you can see in the photo below. The swatch stick on the left is freshly painted, and the stick on the right was exposed to the sunlight.

Watch Your Step, Sister! is a dark pink cream that leans a bit coral. I’m really crazy about this color for spring and summer. This color is available in a Two-of-a-Kind set with a matching Morgan Taylor shade.

Below is the comparison photo of this color. It’s very similar to Gelish Passion.

If the Slipper Fits is a silvery blue shimmer polish with holographic glitter. This is a very unique shade to the Gelish line. The base is pretty sheer, but it also builds up to opacity though you can still see some VNL after three coats.

I didn’t have anything to compare this color to, but I wanted to show it next to some silvers so that you can really see the blue tones. When I had it on alone it looked very silvery, but when you put it next to greys and silvers it most definitely has a blue-ish hue.

Live Like There’s No Midnight is dark blue with a shimmer finish. It’s really lovely and sparkly.

Live Like There’s No Midnight looks very similar to Caution, but it’s more shimmery and has more dimension than Caution.

That concludes the six colors, and next at the three TRENDS! The Trends can be purchased in a three piece set or separately.

Stepsisters Rule! is a dark pink Gelish Trends glitter topper mix that has some holographic glitters. I think this one is really nice when worn on it’s own like this. In general, I like how most of the Trends toppers look over a natural nail vs over a color.

I applied one coat of Stepsisters Rule! over white, black, and the two pink shades from this collection… Ella of a Girl and Watch Your Step, Sister. I didn’t realize that my black base only had one coat and is a little streaky until I was editing photos.

Here is a photo of some other pink/red Gelish Trends & glitter toppers. Shattered Beauty is a fairly close comparison to Stepsisters Rule!

I’ll Make it Fit is a Gelish Trends glitter topper with a multicolor glitter mix. These glitters seem to take on some jewel tones. This is also really pretty when worn alone.

In the photo below I have applied one coat of I’ll Make it Fit over white, black and the two blue shades from this collection.

There are a couple of other Gelish Trends that look similar to I’ll Make It Fit… Rays of Sunlight is probably the closest.

A Moment of Magic is the third Gelish Trends glitter topper. This one has a golden/yellow-tinted base and has yellow, white and a few pink glitter hexes in it in addition to some gold microglitter. The base looks very yellow in the bottle, but seems to lighten after curing. Again, I like how this color looks on it’s own without a base color underneath.

In the photo below, I applied A Moment of Magic over white and black. I don’t care for this shade over dark colors at all, but it might look nice applied over a yellow or gold base. I was exhausted by the time I got to this swatch and didn’t make the effort to pull out other colors to try it over. These swatch posts take a LONG time! LOL

Here is a comparison shot of some other gold glitters. A Moment of Magic is pretty unique.

Gelish MINI colors can be purchased at Sally Beauty Supply online at www.sallybeauty.com, or in retail stores. You can also purchase directly from the Gelish MINI website at www.getgelished.com!

Whew, that was a long post! Don’t expect anything else from me this week! Just kidding (or am I?)! LOL

So, which colors from this collection are your favorites?
