Merlot is a wine red shimmer base color with added chameleon chrome pigment. This color has tiny micro purple flakes added for depth. Hard to capture in a photo, but gorgeous in person! It looks a little brown in some of the pictures, but it's more of a wine color. You can either wear this one as just a dip powder or you can chrome it for a different look. It will not look like a metallic chrome. These swatch photos were taken with indoor lighting and outside.
Swatch was made with 2 dips of color using gel liquids.
Pictures of colors are taken in different lighting to best represent their true color. Color may however vary slightly depending on monitor settings.
While I try to capture the best photo of the true color, there are many things that may alter the color and vary your results. Computer monitors may make the color appear different than what it looks like in person. Other factors include lighting and method of application. Dip liquids vs. gel liquids will give you a different result as well as the amount of layers of color that you may apply. Swatches are made with 2-3 coats of color using the laydown method in a cupcake liner and most colors are encapsulated in clear. Dip liquids are used on every swatch. Solid colors may also have a slight shimmer due to contamination of the dip liquids.
