I'm creating a speech bubble with CSS and I have reached this far.
.says{
width: 200px;
padding: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
background: #BF7EF2;
color: #fff;
box-shadow: -3px 3px 5px #C1B9C8;
position: relative;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.says:before{
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
top: 14px;
right: -18px;
height: 20px;
border-right: 20px solid #BF7EF2;
border-bottom-right-radius: 25px 20px;
transform: translate(0, -4px);
box-shadow: -3px 3px 5px #C1B9C8;
}
.says:after{
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
top: 7px;
right: -18px;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
background: #fff;
border-bottom-left-radius: 40px 35px;
transform: translate(0px, -20px);
}
<div class="says">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Ratione aut facere cupiditate, sunt, nisi fugiat consectetur officiis veniam!</div>
Basically I have used :before
and :after
pseudo class and applied border-radius
. Then overlapped each other to reach the desire effect. Right now as you can see, I'm using background: #fff
on :after
because the current parent's background is white. This will go over many different divs with different bg colors throughout my app. And this is the issue I'm having right now.
Example-
Can I achieve the same "speech-bubble" tail without using the background property on :after
?

Or by any other completely different ways?
