I'm Sold

Long time, no see. Between getting used to my new job and another surgery, I haven't been able to write blogs. But I've made swatches and I plan on catching up with reviews the next few weeks. Starting now with Catrice's Sold Out Forever.

Dutch OPI Lover

Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI? is the name of this purple, tulip-base color of the Holland Collection by OPI. All I can do is answer with an excited 'Yes!'

A Base To Build On

Everybody who dyes their nails all the time knows this problem; discoloration of your nails. Using a good base coat helps a lot to avoid this and it makes your nail manicure to last longer too. But as useful as a base coat is, I don't really want to pay big bucks for it. This HEMA base coat does what it should do for a nice price.

Price: < €3,00, I can't remember exactly
Content: 11ml

It works well with any brand, less chipping of your colored nail polish and... no discoloration. At all. The only bad news is that as far as I know they only sell in the Benelux. But should you ever be visiting, pick up a few of these bottles. It's the best budget base coat I've ever used and I've tried many.

See ya!

Star Of The Nail Polishes

I hadn't planned on buying this particular nail polish as I thought it resembled a different color I already own, but after seeing swatches, I caved anyway, so here we go; Catrice Welcome To Las Vegas Limited Edition Ultimate Nail Lacquer, C03 'Star of the Show'.

Slay Me, Please

More glitter and glamour with this nail polish from the November Essence Vampire's Love trend edition; no 01, 'Gold Old Buffy'.

Unforgettable

As it's already December, a little glamour on the nails is always welcome so I'm reviewing Catrice's 'Forget-Me-Not!' for you today.

Team Bella And Edward

Essence has released several nail art twins; A combination of two nail polishes (one base coat, one top coat) that match well together and go by the names of popular duos. I'll be swatching Nail Art Twins, no 6 today; 'Bella & Edward'.

New But The Old, Sexy Kind Of Way

Yes, dear readers, another one from the Catrice Fall 2011 collection; no 560, 'Rusty But Sexy'. This color was also released as part of the Modern Muse limited edition in August of this year but shows up in the fall collection too. I'm not exactly sure what Catrice wanted to accomplish with that, but the good news is that this polish will be available for a longer while! :)

Frosted ASHley

Today I'll be reviewing Catrice's Ultimate Nail Lacquer, no 610, 'ASHley' with the Catrice Frosting Top Coat.

 

Crack The Cherry

I had a job interview this week so I didn't have the time to change my manicure more than just one time. After Captain Sparrow's Boat, I was in the mood for something colorful and ended up going for Essence Multi Dimension, no. 63, 'Purple Cherry', with a crackle top coat by Herôme, no. 165, 'Gold Geneva'. I've included more pictures than before in this post, I hope this gives you a better impression of what the colors are like.

Crackled Love

After buying a few cracked nail polished earlier this week, I had to use them right away! I haven't had much time yet, so I've only used one but what a lovely color it is! I combined the Herôme 'Light Blue Malibu' (no. 163) crackle polish with Essence Multi Dimension, no. 57 'Love of Pink'.

A Star In The Making...

I had a fancy dinner last night and my previous nail look was already damaged so you're getting a new review from me already. After a while of contemplating, I decided to try Catrice's Ultimate Nail Lacquer, no 660 "I'm A Star..."
