Hey girl... I like that pink. I'm partial to frosted colors more for the extra shine but I have to say that this pink looks great....
Will be watching for the black -- I've yet to experiment with that color! Though I did see something that tweaked my interest at the salon today so black could be something new for me pretty soon.

Thanks hun! To be honest I have a confession on how I get the brighter colors to "pop" ... one coat of silver or white polish first. From that base - your color will be exactly what the bottle presents it to be.
As for black, it is a personal favorite of mine. I prefer the darker colors or just plain naked. In life I am not very much of a "princess" or "girly-girl" so the extent of my pink is usually in t-shirt form or in my stars (for good reason)

ps - I also found that with this "base" the chance of the nails discoloring is lower too. Blue tends to linger when removing it and so does red. Ugh!

Silver - as in not glitter right? And white- but not clear right? lol Sorry, I am just interested now cause I have never heard this - but would be 1000x grateful to know. When you pay a nice amount for your nails- you want the colors to look the best!

Yes, Silver ... Orly "Dazzle" no.40486 - does the job for me. As for white - yes, WHITE (Orly "White Tips" no.42001)... not clear. Clear still allows the nature nail color underneath to affect the color of the polish. Much the same way as a yellow added to blue makes green
Honestly I do not spend money on my nails much like some women tend to. The salon is a special treat for myself when I want a "detached" foot and leg rub I enjoy painting my nails at home
