ABC Challenge: C is for Catrice

Hi ladies! Next up on the ABC Challenge stop we have 'C'. I had SO many options for C that I was struggling with which to choose, eventually I settled with Catrice, a European brand. Before we get into the swatches, I want to apologise for the photos. The lighting was completely off when I did these, it was SUPER dull outside and that shows in them, they're also a little grainy for my liking. Hopefully you'll forgive me and just enjoy...Remember to click here to see all ABC challenge posts!

Heavy Metallic is a frosty Purple metallic with flashes of Magenta and Purple running throughout. It's definitely one of those polishes that catches your eye, just by the way it glows from the nail. I wish I could have captured this polish better than I did. I used 2 coats of Heavy Metallic for the photos, without a base/top coat.

King Of Greens is a Forest Green polish with subtle Green and Silver shimmers. This is another one that I was just unable to capture it's true beauty, pretty much failing at this 'improving my photos' lark aren't I!? This is 2 coats of King Of Greens without a base or top coat.


Catrice polishes retail for around €2.50, being slightly more for Limited Edition shades, and are found in various European drugstores, unfortunately that doesn't include the UK, which is a total shame since I love Catrice! Which 'C' brand would have been your brand of choice for this post?

Challenge: Day 6 - Violet Nails

Hi ladies! Violet Nails is the challenge for Day 6, so I chose to use 2 coats of China Glaze - Spontaneous for my base colour and then stamped over it using BM-314 with Catrice - Heavy Metallic first, which didn't show up as I'd hoped so I added China Glaze - Devotion.

You can see Heavy Metallic ever so slightly in the second photo, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't as opaque as I wanted it to be, but I still think the mani turned out okay. What do you think?
