CND Colour Effects Featuring Blackjack
Happy Saturday morning!
Today I’ve got CND’s Blackjack to show you with the effects. There is definitely a difference in Blackjack compared to some of the lighter colors with the effects, as you’ll see.
A couple people had requested that I also show you what the effects look like over my bare nail so you could see them on their own. I was happy to oblige, so I’ll show you those swatches soon!
Oh and I forgot to actually take a picture of Blackjack on it’s own so to let you know, it’s basically a solid black creme. I used two coats.
Blackjack with Ice Blue Shimmer on thumb, Sapphire Sparkle on pointer, Amethyst Sparkle on middle, Emerald Shimmer on ring and Jade Sparkle on pinky.
Because Blackjack is a solid black color the effects came out either deeper or brighter with this one. It’s pretty interesting how it works depending on the polish color!
Blackjack with Ice Blue Shimmer
Ice Blue Shimmer is a deeper blue with Blackjack underneath. I love this.
Blackjack with Sapphire Sparkle
Sapphire Sparkle also has a more blue/black effect.
Blackjack with Amethyst Sparkle
Same goes for Amethyst Sparkle, just darker.
Blackjack with Emerald Shimmer
Emerald Shimmer was the only one that came out much brighter! It also looks a lot more green than with some of the other polish colors.I love the way this looks.
Blackjack with Jade Sparkle
Jade Sparkle looks pretty much the same as it did on some of the other dark polishes I swatched, but with a slightly more “olive” cast to it.
Watch out for the final (for now) installment in my CND Colour Effects week long series!

This CND effects polishes are so pretty its not even funny! I want them, they are sooo cool!
Everything time that I think I’m going to get away from glitters, I keep getting sucked back in. lol I like the ice blue and jade.
Do you really think this collection is worth it?I have lots of creme polishes and plenty of glitter, shimmers and other top coats. Can’t I just layer all those over my polishes?
Hi Lucy,
I definitely think some of the effects are worth it. The effects aren’t like other glitter or topcoats at all. In fact none of the ones I used are glitter, they are shimmery or sparkly. You could get away with not getting any of the polish colours though, except maybe Green Scene, that one is worth buying!
They look very cool!
