Catrice new nail polish collection 2011 part 2


500 Sir, Yes Sir!


Dear Lacqueristas,

On to part two of the new Catrice collection. (to check out part one, click here)

Sir, Yes Sir! is a muddy green creme , as seen in the camouflage army gear. I used 2 coats and it applied like a dream.

390 Easy Peasy Lemon Squeesy!
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeesy is a lime green creme with a white base that makes it look a bit stark. The bottle says you have to apply 2 coats but I applied 3 coats. The formula was not giving me problems, it was just a little bit streaky.

510 Bye, Bye Birdy!
Bye, Bye Birdy! is a fantastic yellow. It is white based, a tad stark and can't decide if it's a pastel or a bright. The color is vivid and looks so fresh and clean, an awesome spring/summer color. I can't believe how excellent the formula was. For this swatch I applied 3 coats but in real life you just might get away with two. The formula is great and that's unheard of for a yellow. Yellows are notorious for beeing streaky or having other formula issues and Catrice just nailed it.
I am in love with this nail polish :-)


470 Snow Motion!
Snow Motion! is a white creme. In the swatch pic it looks like there's some lilac in it but that's not the case. Just a plain ol' white. Formula was not all that, 4 coats to even out streaks.


450 Sand Fransisco
Sand Fransisco is an akward color. Soft white-ish yellow, a tad of green with a super fine golden shimmer that leans to a pearl. This color is unique in my stash. I think it would work best with warm toned ladies and I was surprised how much I like it myself. Formula was good, 3 coats.

I wonder if Sand Fransisco is made to dupe another polish? Does it remind you of one?

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

I just love Catrice. I have only one. Bought it in Croatia. Why do we not have these in England? Grrrr. Bad, bad, bad.

oh!! that bright bold yellow is definitely standing out at me! :)
I love this brand, and I see at least a couple colors in this batch that I'm going to need to get into my stash.
I just bought the yellow and the green ones today!
I LOVE Bye Bye Birdie!
hi lacquerista!

i've been following your blog for ages and you inspired me to start my own blog about everything nail polish :) I would love if you would follow my blog too just for some support, my blog is called "polished" and my url is http://polished-people.blogspot.com/. I wish there were more stores in australia that stocked fabulous nail polish, i feel like the lone ranger down under :(
Must say San Fransisco is really beautiful. I have a very light skin tone and I hope it would still look good on me, if I ever get my hands on it!
