Catrice Nail Polishes

Luxury Lacquers Metal
03 My Satin Ballet Shoes
A pink-rose gold shade with a metallic/über frosty finish. The formula is very pigmented and reaches about 80% opacity with one coat. If you're not bothered with a hint of the tips showing through, then it's a one coater, otherwise a two-coater. The formula is quite thick, but it applies smoothly and evenly. Despite being a shimmery nail polish it's easy and quick to remove if you use a pot remover.
All of the nail polishes in the Luxury Line have a normal, "useful" brush.

Luxury Lacquers Brilliance
05 Plum Fiction
This is a colour that will probably pop out in the stand the most to people. It's a warm purple shimmer with a few red shimmer bits in it, you don't see a nail polish like this often. I expected it to look more spectacular on the nails and more shiny, but I do love the colour. The base is almost translucent and just slightly tinted purple, however, for the full effect/opacity two thick or three thin coats are needed. The removal process was incredibly long, even with the pot remover, which usually removes glitter polishes with ease and the shimmer went everywhere, so I will really consider it before using it again.

Luxury Lacquers Brilliance
01 It's Showtime
An eye-catching glittery silver that looks super glam on the nails. The base is translucent and again as at Plum fiction two thick or three thin coats are needed for full opacity. I love this shade, but again the removal process was so irritating.

Colour Brightening Base Coat
01 On Top of the Alps
I never had a white nail polish, but always wanted one. Remember how we painted our nail with Edigs (correction fluid) in primary school. Or was that just me? Colour Brightening Base Coat is a white nail polish with a semi-matte finish. It needs two/three thick coats to be even, so I'm not sure how would it work as a base because that would mean a hell of a lot of nail polish coats.
Unlike at the Luxury Line, this one unfortunately has the roundly shaped brush, which only slightly less annoying than the angled Bourjois' 10 Days one, but truly only by a small margin. It pretty much makes it impossible to apply the nail polish nicely, so it can result in the manicure looking like it was made by a two-year-old during an earthquake. It needs a lot of clean-up is what I'm trying to say as a lot of the polish ends up on the cuticles.

Million Styles Effect Top Coat
02 ¿Holo, Que Tal?
This looks a lot prettier in person than in pictures. It's a topper with a duo-chrome or perhaps even slightly holographic gold-green shimmer. It really makes for a glamorous manicure, but I find so far it works best over black. I applied three coats one the ring finger and on others it's one. It's easy to remove.

Jaz tudi trenutno pripravljam en post o belih lakih in sem se isto spraševala, kako za vraga naj bi bil ta lak podlaga ostalim barvnim lakom, ker to pomeni samo dodatne nepotrebne sloje. Vsekakor so beli laki ok za neon lake, ker zaradi njih še bolj izstopajo, to pa je to. Drugače pa mi je od teh bleščičastih najbolj všeč srebrn, je pa res katastrofalen za odstranjevanje.
OdgovoriIzbrišiTrue Story. Enostavno preveč slojev bi bilo, še posebej če hočeš, da izgleda lepo nanešeno. Kot praviš, edino za neonske je ok :)
IzbrišiEj, ene 15-20 minut sem odstranjevala oba ta bleščicasta. Pa to je noro, no. V tistih ločkih je noht dobesedno namočen v odstranjevalec in ni raztopilo vsega. Vsi drugi laki grejo takoj dol.
Joooj ne govori! :D
IzbrišiJaz sem se zaljubila v te bleščeče, prelepi so. AMPAK odstranjevanje je pa tko zamudno, groza. Sem jih podarila naprej :(
Si moraš prav čas vzet za odstranjevanje. Če ju bom še kdaj nosila, bo res za kakšno posebno priložnost, ali pa samo kot accent nail.
IzbrišiJaz ponavadi za odstranjevanje uporabim tehniko s folijo. Je prav tako zamudna, ampak ok, dovolj imam rada bleščičaste lake, da potrpim. Ampak na začetku sem se tudi matrala z drgnjenjem, nora kot sem, ker sem jih uporabljala samo na določenih nohtih kot del skittle manikure in sem samo z enega nohta odstranjevala lak 2 minuti. :P
IzbrišiSem že slišala za to s folijo, ampak niso ti odstranjevalci v lončkih pravzaprav zelo podoben način glede na to, da je noht "potopljen" v odstranjevalcu? Vsaj meni se tako zdi, but I could be wrong :) Na vsak način je odstranjevanje teh bleščic zelo zamudno.
IzbrišiTale vijola lak mi je pa ful hud ;)
OdgovoriIzbrišiJe eden izmed bolj unikatnih odtenkov :)
IzbrišiVsi so res lepi. A sem že hudo zlajnana, če rečem, da so res prekrasne slike!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI love the purple polish, it is stunning!
OdgovoriIzbrišiVsi Luxury Lacquers so mi lepi, ampak -ne hvala- ne bom tega odstranjevala:). Škoda, da niso še iznašli nekega boljšega sistema odstranjevanja bleščic. Ta bela podlaga je pa čisto mimo. Že zato, ker ni dovolj pigmentirana za podlago, če je treba nanesti tri sloje:).
OdgovoriIzbrišiTi odstranjevalci v lončku so še najboljši za bleščice, ampak pri teh Brilliance tudi ti niso zadosti dobri. Res najbolj zahtevni laki za odstranjevanje ever.
IzbrišiSaj ta base podlaga je dovolj pigmentirana, problem je v tem ker je gosta formula, kot pri pastelnih lakih in jo moraš nanest v slojih, da je enakomerno. Če bi bil čopič boljši, bi teoretično lahko nanesel en debelejši sloj, ki bi bil enakomeren, ampak večinoma pride streaky.
Colour Brightening Base Coat , Million Styles Effect Top Coat are just two must haves !!
OdgovoriIzbrišiAmazing swatches and pictures :)

Jaz sem skoraj živce zgubila s tem vijoličnim, kolk je lep tolk je odstranjevanje brutalno. Holo que tal topper pa mi je super, ful popestri temnejše lake :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI know...
IzbrišiKar lep je ta Catrice Topper, ampak meni je Icy Fairy edini, ki mi je res všeč :)
Luxury Lacquers so meni vsi trije res super :D pri vijoličnem in srebrnem je pa res hudič ko prideš do odstranjevanja. Jaz sem imela na srečo spodaj gel in je šlo hitreje ampak še vedno je bil dolg proces :D
OdgovoriIzbrišiSi me spomnila, da je Essence včasih imel (ima?) peel off bazo. S tistim bi se že dalo zdržat, čeprav me to, da se da odlepit stran malo straši :D
IzbrišiIt's show time bo v prihodnjih dneh definitivno v moji košarici. Kako je lep!
OdgovoriIzbrišiJ.

Jaz sem si tudi z edigsom barvala nohte v osnovni šoli :P Mi je pa vijoličen lak zelo všeč, ampak ga ne nosim veliko ravno za to ker se ga tako težko odstrani.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI bet Plum Fiction and It's Showtime would look awesome combined in a nail art!
OdgovoriIzbrišiJaz tega zadnjega srebrnega bleščičkota nikakor nisem mogla iz nohtov spravit-nikoli več!
OdgovoriIzbrišiKrasen post. :D Your blog is my favorite! Resno :P
