Colleen - some swatches for you to compare to EDM Spin Cycle. Apologies for the poor quality photo, the daylight here is very dull even at midday.

Whisper is the closest colour match, but it is less pigmented and has a stronger sheen which makes it seem whiter in this photo. Retro is a cool toned version of the same thing. QFAD is close to Retro but with baby blue and multi-colour princess-like shimmery sparkles. Sandy is the closest match for visual texture, very similar pearly effect but slightly softer, more pastel toned. High Beam has a slightly yellower colour (without being yellow, it's less pink than Spin Cycle) and a totally different texture, but it's lovely. Nekkid is a deeper tone but similar pearly finish. Nothing is a perfect match but if you mixed Whisper and Sandstone, you'd get very close to it.

Thanks Cupcake. I tried to send you a message but I don't know if it went. It kept still being in my outbox, but it said a time for when it was sent.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the help and the warm welcome. Everyone has been so nice to us orphans that have come to join you on this lovely forum.
