Catrice 55 Get the Blues

U junu sam najzad uspela da dođem do svojih prvih Catrice lakova, i to putem sajta Moje krpice. Proizvodi ih ista firma koja proizvodi Essence kozmetiku. Ne testiraju se na životinjama i ne sadrži ni jedan od pet famoznih štetnih sastojaka. Četkica im je široka, pljosnata i kružno sečena. Kod mog primerka je čekica bila loše isečena, bila je suviše špicasta ali to sam rešila makazicama za nokte. Noviji Catrice lakovi imaju drugačiju četkicu, ali ne znam kakva je, mada nisam pročitala ništa pozitivno o njoj.

I finally managed to get my first Catrice polishes in June. They are produced by the same company that produces Essence cosmetics. Their polishes are 5-free and cruelty free. The brush is flat, wide and round cut. Mine was bad, it was too spiky bur I fixed it with scissors. The newer Catrice polishes have new, different brush but I don't know what it is like, however I haven't read anything nice about it.

Odlučila sam da prvi lak koji ću isprobati bude Get the Blues. Osnovna boja mu je petrolej plavo-zelena u sivoj bazi. Ispunjen je šimerom u takođe plavoj i zelenoj boji, usled kojeg potezi četkice mogu biti vidljivi. U zavisnosti od osvetljenja, nekada je više plav, a nekada zelen, ali je plava dominantna. Ovo je duohrom lak i preliva se na ljubičasto. Efekat je najuočljiviji pri slabijem dnevnom osvetljenju u zatvorenim prostorijama i pod žutim veštačkim svetlom. 

I decided that Get the Blues would be the first polish I would test. Its main colour is petroleum blue-green in the grey base. It is filled with shimmer also in blue and green colour, which may make the brush strokes visible. Sometimes it is more blue and sometimes green, depending on the light source but blue is dominant. This is a duochrome polish and it switches to purple. The effect is most noticeable in the poor light, like bad daylight indoors and yellow artificial light.

Tečan je i jako se lepo maže, dva tanka sloja su dovoljna za punu boju i pokrivanje. Suši se prosečnom brzinom. Ne znam da li je do vrućine, mene ili samog laka, ali na nekim noktima su mi se stvorili mehurići. Posle drugog dana nošenja se lak malo izlizao na ćoškovima ali ne na svim noktima. Na slikama su dva sloja laka bez nadlaka. Nastale su na dnevnom svetlu, kako u hladu tako i na suncu.

It is runny and the application is easy, two thin coats are enough for the full colour and coverage. It dries with average speed. I don't know is it up to the heat, me or the polish itself, but I got bubbles on some nails. After two days of wearing, the polish was worn out a bit on the edges but not on all nails. On the pictures are two coats without top coat. The were taken in the daylight, in the shade as well as in the direct sunlight.
