Day 5: Royal Affair is a mixed mica shimmer powder that is a beautiful deep sapphire blue shade with tons of shimmer. This one pairs very well with Ice Breaker, which is Day 6 from the Advent Calendar. It’s shown here with Nibi and Light the Menorah as well. It’s the left blue swatch or the bottom blue.
Swatch was made with 2 dips of color and will get darker with each dip. It was also encapsulated in clear and dip top coat was used.
*Powders made with ultrafine glitter may sometimes have a different consistency due to the addition of powdered acrylic.
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.
