FInally, a Shellac color that combines the perfect amount of subtle, neutral, pale pink color with a fine (as opposed to coarse) shimmer. CND Shellac's Romantique has been my go-to color for over a year now: two coats of that, plus one coat of Shellac Zillionaire, but with the new Shellac Grapefruit Sparkle, I will be able to use two or three coats of it and skip the Zillionaire. Side-by-side, Grapefruit Sparkle has a bit more color density, is a wee bit pinker than Romantique, which make it perfect. I find if I use a pale neutral, I can get my DIY manicure to last 21-22 days. More of the natural nail shows as it grows out if you use darker shades, but with pale colors like Grapefruit Sparkle, no one can really tell you've had your polish on for 3 weeks.

Grapefruit Sparkle is a pretty color, but it isn't the peachy-pink of the bottle. It is like a shimmery topcoat with a pinkish tone to it. I wish it was a little more opaque. The bottle says it's "semi-sheer" but I have others that are "semi-sheer" that weren't this sheer. I can't return it now that it's open, but it is good if you want a very soft, natural nail, and would be pretty layered on top of other Shellac colors. I wouldn't buy this color if I had known it would be a barely-there color. May want to apply 3 coats instead of 2 for more coverage.Best Deals on CND Creative Nail Design Uv Nail Gel Polish Grapefruit Sparkle
I am disappointed in this color. I was so excited for the new spring colors! I like pastels and I thought this "grapefruit sparkle" was going to be a nice shimmery light lavender color based on the one photo they had available in this product page. I was assuming the picture was accurate since there were no previous reviews and there was no description of the polish I had no reason to doubt it...Then a few days later my shellac arrived; and when I first opened the amazon box, I thought they shipped me the wrong polish by mistake because what I saw was a very, very light pink polish bottle that said "sheer" on the packaging. The last thing I wanted was another clear pink polish. The first coat was barely detectable apart from a light shimmer effect. It literally took 5 coats of color before I couldn't see the white of my own nails showing through since the polish was so sheer.
This item is non-returnable so now I am stuck with another polish that may as well be the same color as the other half dozen pale pink totally sheer polishes shellac sells, just with a different name on the label. Everyone knows the thicker your gel polish is, the more quickly it starts to peel off. Now I will use it up twice as fast (5 coats for each manicure instead of my normal 2-3 with non-sheer colors) and it will peel and need to be re-done in half the time (I'm on day 3 and it is starting to lift on the tips of my nails already despite my "wrapping the color around the tips.")
To summarize: Unless you are looking for a French manicure style, very sheer, hardly noticeable pale pink polish, don't get this one. I will try to upload 2 pictures for you. One of the how it looked with just one coat and a 2nd picture of the color after coat 5.
Honest reviews on CND Creative Nail Design Uv Nail Gel Polish Grapefruit Sparkle
I wanted a subtle sparkle and that's just what I got. Grapefruit is a sheer, pink shellac with an allover very fine sparkle... kind of like pixie dust. This is a very close color to CND Shellac Beau. This is a little thicker than the non-sparkle colors but goes on nicely.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for CND Creative Nail Design Uv Nail Gel Polish Grapefruit Sparkle
