Water Lily is a light purple shimmer base color with blue undertones and added holographic diamond dust. This is more of a blue based purple tone where Grape Jam is a red based purple tone. I had issues with no natural light so the swatch photos were taken in my work area with LED lighting that changes the colors a little on my iphone. This one photographed way brighter in my work area and way darker in natural light with no sun. This has 2 dips of color and then activated and top coat. No buffing and no encapsulating in clear for the swatches. Definitely prettier in person and so hard to capture on camera.

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.
