Catrice & Essence have recently revamped their product lines, and this is one of the new items that caught my eye.
Jumping on the liquid sand/sand style/textured polish bandwagon, Catrice have come up with a range of sand style polishes called "Crushed Crystals". They cost €3.69 each (for 10ml) which is quite expensive for Catrice but in general it's not dear for a nail polish when you consider the price of some of the other brands of textured polishes.
It's been so, so long since Catrice have had any interesting polish so I was excited to try this! It applied evenly in two coats, no topcoat... *whispers* no basecoat either, because I forgot.
The polish is a salmon pink with gold flecks. The texture is very, very fine - probably the finest "sand" polish I've tried. It's not bumpy or too rough.
Stacking Midi Rings €1.50 for set of three, Penneys |
Without flash, inside:
It's lovely, it lasted 4 days with no topcoat and only minor tipwear. I think I'll definitely use it a lot over the summer, despite it being a bit Disney Princess-ish.
If I used tan I imagine it would look fanastic with it!
Beautiful that golden shimmer, really a nice polish!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the gold is so nice :)
DeleteVery pretty, love a bit of pink on the nails!
ReplyDeleteThis is really unusual, definitely one for summer! x
DeleteGorgeous! Reminds me of OPI Pussy galore and the one from the CG Sea Goddess collection whose name escapes me right now...
ReplyDeleteWish on a Starfish :) Do you know I actually overlooked the whole CG Sea Goddess collection but after trying this polish I might go back and reconsider a few, the finish is really subtle and nice!
Deletetotally a summer shade..love it
ReplyDeleteMe too, all we need now is the weather :)
DeleteIt is so pretty...I had it in my hands few times so far and return it because I have so many pinks but I know I will buy it eventually.
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing!! Then I found one on a stand and bought it, gave it to someone else, then went back to another stand for mine :)
DeleteI love this colour. It's such a beauty!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice, I'm so glad they're finally doing new interesting colours!
Deleteoooohhh! Goody goody gumdrops! Finally a new edit from Catrice!!! but when on earth will it land in the village out in the sticks?
ReplyDeleteI can confirm that I'm DEFINITELY in the sticks so you should have it now if not very, very soon! x
DeleteWow this nail polish is really stunning!! *__*
