Fall is in the air and I’ve been itching to try something different with my nails. If you’ve spent any time on Curls N Pearls it doesn’t take long to see that I’m a  big fan of CND Shellac. CND currently has thirty to forty available shades in Shellac, and with layering you can create a myriad of color combinations. (Which I’ve probably tried everyone over the past year or so!)

I love nail art, and especially the glitter fade or “ombre” effects (see here), so upon learning about CND Additives, I couldn’t wait to experiment. The only trouble was I couldn’t make up my mind on which to actually wear! So I don’t have a pic of my nails for Mani Monday this week, but I do have six swatches of CND Shellac shades accented with a glitter fade of CND Additives Effect in Pink Gold Sparkle.

• Fedora
• Fedora layered with Decadence
• Purple Purple
• Decadence
• Asphalt
• Rubble

I’m partial to Fedora, Decadence and Rubble, do any of these combos catch your eye?

Check back tomorrow for part two of the CND Additives Mani Monday!
