The Ficcare Thread (Formerly "Show me your Ficcare color")

[Joliebaby]

I have quite a few pink clips as well. Love the blush and guava. I have no clothes to match them exactly but who cares? I most wear white clothes and my hair is black, so I figured my hair clip can be any color.

Actually, I have always loved a combination of blue and pink, so I could definitely wear a pink clip to spice up a blue outfit! There are also several second hand pink clips available from the person I bought a few clips, but I would like them to arrive first before buying more

But one could argue that Coral is not really pink. And is fuchsia really pink? Oh no...

Coral definitely isn't Pink! (Insert a sigh from the background here, by someone who frequently says that there are only 10 colors in the world & doesn't know what I'm on about when I try to decide on pairing accessoires etc. aka my partner. )
The Ultramarine Blue gold border also caught my eye, the Picasso ones are all pretty.


I might just go with the new Light Lavender, tracking down older items can be fun too but this might be a case of "I need it now".

With the Blush & Guava I really can't decide, maybe they will both go on my birthday list.

The new lavender might not even be different, it could very well be down to just seeing photos where it looks different. To a discerning chromaphile, dontcha know

I totally get you on the Blush and Guava, they are both so lovely, and would look great worn together too. My hair is pretty thick so at some point I will probably double up, even if it's not strictly necessary, just to have fun combining clips. I really should direct some of this bent-up color love to my work, eh. I mean real work, not painting hair clips

[Joliebaby]

Ah-ha! The clip that is called "ultramarine" border at CultMate is "aquamarine" at the Ficcare site. The color is really neither in their pictures.. Would love to see a picture of it if anyone has it!

Joliebaby, I love geeking out about the colors! And so funny you should mention blue - close to half of my collection was blue or silver (I kept my beloved silver primavera). Izzy is right - you wouldn't be able to wear a small. My hair is 1.5" pony (and shrinking as we speak, from another Great Shed), and I had to go to center held buns with them when I was at hip. They are truly much smaller than the larges or even the mediums. Now, I like the small Ficci's (which hold even less hair!), and that's mostly what I kept. Your hair is such a pretty shade, I think you could wear most colors and look gorgeous!

IZZY!! It's so good to "see" you! Well, you use your huge collection though, wearing them two at a time! Plus, you like to wear all of them! I tended to just wear my favorites the vast majority of the time. I do wish all of our old photos were visible. There were some good ones in this thread.

I received my two pairs of mini Maximas clips (I got dark auburn and matte silver) today. They're absolutely adorable. I have to twist the sides of my hair to make a little roll in order to have enough hair for them to grab. But once they're in, they seem to hold like glue.

So glad it worked out for you! And I bet the little side twists look cute.

Dark Auburn is so pretty, I never noticed before? O.O
I might have to put it on my wish list. Ahaaaa what is this thread doing to me.

[Joliebaby]

Thanks so muchNeoma
I do quite like this, I've been wearing it every day except when I wore my new claw clip. My Horn acetate is still not fixed so I can't wear that.

I just got home and I had a note waiting in the mailbox about a package to be picked up from the post office. I really want to go get it, but the lazy part of me doesn't want to go back out again. I went yesterday to the post office because I thought the Ficcares might be there, but it was a package of facial cleanser I'd ordered! I was so disappointed. Maybe I will go later.

aeryss, I got it because my hair is cherry cola red from henna and hibiscus flowers. The color is almost an exact match!
