Platinum Red vs. Classic Red

Post by evah2003 » Tue Aug 26, 2008 8:22 am

Hi!

Can somebody please swatch these two next to each other?
From the look of it, Platinum Red seems like a "truer" red (Classic Red turned dark pink on me..), but I want to make sure that they aren´t too close in colour!

Thanks in advance!

Hello Eva!

I should have mine in a few days. I can do this for you! But you will have to wait a bit. ;)

There's a difference- Classic had titanium dioxide in it- and even though it had a lot of red- I did find it shifting just a bit towards pink. Platinum Red is all red pigments so it's a little bit deeper, and it looks more rich- it also came out just a little bit creamier feeling.

Thanks, Jen and Karen!!

From the swatch on the site it looks deeper than Classic Red, I just wanted to make sure.

@ Jen: I am doing okay....stress at work ( I wish I was working somewhere else right now, to be true!), not sleeping too great, but that´s nothing new.
I love "escaping" to this forum and the AtM-group. Plus: online shopping helps. I was drooling over all the new products on the SN site today. Can´t wait to order! :-)

Eva-
Here is your comparison. I think it caught the light funny, because it is less blue. I added the other new ones that I got today. I think Iced Mocha is my new favorite of the liquid glosses!
