I love Catrice polishes! They apply flawlessly and they are extremely long lasting, so there are no chips the very next day ;) The color range is big and anyone can find something suitable for themselves. Today I will show you the Catrice Lost In Mud which is medium brown creamy color with splash of gray. After applying a top coat this one becomes even more brownish. It’s opaque in two coats.

Catrice Lost In Mud:

 

I was in a good mood today so I’ve done some Konading. I used Konad image plate m75 and the Konad special polish in Apple Green color. I also added the Essence flower shaped rhinestones.

 

Do you like it?   -Lyra

Sold Out For Ever is light green pastel mint shade with a lot of fine shimmer, which is a slightly darker than the base.

Catrice Sold Out For Ever:

 

I have done the Konad with Essence dark green polish – Jungle and with the image plate m65. I also added a fimo lime on the ring finger.

Bye! Lyra

Sometimes it looks more like gray pink nude – depending on the lighting. It’s subtle and chic. It takes two coats for full coverage.

OPI Tickle My France-Y:

 

I had to do some Konading on this one, but not something that visible from miles away, it’s rather soft and subtle. I choose Catrice Lost In Mud and Konad image plate s6 for stamping. It came out pretty nice :)

It’s that classic kind of red color that suits anyone. It has a jelly finish. The application is like poetry. I really love it. It needs two coats for full coverage. 

 

Which is your favorite red polish?

I also added Essence Desert Fox and Catrice from Dusk to Dawn for compare.

I can say for sure that none of them are dupes. Zulu is the lightest and in comparisson to the others looks the grayest. Channelesque is the one with the strongest purple undertone. Desert Fox and FDTD have brown base, but Desert Fox is more grayish.

 

I hope you find this comparison useful.

Today I will show you two Catrice polishes. Yes, you read right, two! :)

The first one is named Clay-Ton My Hero. Funny name, but very special polish. It is a brownish gray color with a golden shimmer. It’s pretty unique. I don’t have any similar shade in my collection. It needs two coats for full coverage.

 

 

 *****

My Bests Friends Tiara is also beauty in the bottle. It is white color with a silver shimmer, and it also has a hint of gray in it. It looks so luxury. The finish is frosty and it’s opaque in two coats.

 

 

 I put some Konad on this one. I used Essence Bonnie for stamping and pattern from m64. I love how it comes out.

 

 

See you soon!

Sorry that I’m not posting more often, but this cold and rainy weather is so depressing that I’m not in the mood for anything. I promised you more swatches of Catrice polishes so here is another one.

BLUE’S BROTHER: is cold medium blue with turquoise shimmer. The finish is frosty, and I liked it that way. This color also reminds me of sea. I don’t know why all the blue shades remind me of sea, maybe because I can’t wait to go on a vacation, somewhere close to a beach. It’s opaque in two coats.

 

I put fishes from Konad image plate m27 on my ring finger with China Glaze Millennium.

 

In the next post I will show you two Catrice polishes ;)

Have a nice time!

Today I will show you another beautiful Catrice polish. It’s called Plum Play With Me, and you can assume on the name that is plum purple color. The finish is creamy and it needs two coats for full coverage. This one is pretty thick and sticky, so the second layer was thicker than what I wanted. Anyway it dried quickly. I just love this color!

PLUM PLAY WITH ME:

 

This time I decided to put some Konad on, so I chose rose pattern from m65. For stamping I used China Glaze OMG. The holo effect doesn’t show on the pictures, because of the rainy weather (bad light), but I think we all know, what the OMG looks like and you can imagine that the mani is really nice.

 

 I’m really hoping for good weather tomorrow, so I can do some more swatches of Catrice polishes. Today I also got the new six shades from Ciate. They are gorgeous, and I can’t wait to show them to you.

Have a nice polished day! :)

Yesterday I have shown you my new Catrice polishes. Most of you want me to make swatches of The Devil Wears Red and Poison Me, Poison You! So I did them both.

THE DEVIL WEARS RED is really dark vine red shade. In the first coat you can see the red color, but it’s so streaky that the second coat is absolutely necessary. When you put on another layer of the polish, the color becomes more brown than red. The redness comes out under really strong light. I had no problems with application. There are two coats on the pictures.

*****

POISON ME, POISON YOU! is gorgeous eggplant purple with blue and scarlet shimmer. The formula of this one is a little thick, but I managed somehow. This nail polish also needs two coats for full coverage.

*****

I have to say that I’m impressed with these polishes. They are great for such a low price. I also love the brush, it’s not too thin and it’s not too wide. It’s just the right size for perfect application. I also like that they have so many different shades to choose from. Everyone can find something for their taste.
More swatches to come tomorrow ;)

Have a nice time!!
