Thank you all for your well wishes on my previous post about the new job! I've been working since Monday and it's good so far but getting used to the schedule is killing me. Its definitely an adjustment and I'm working on finding a new rhythm for blogging and doing my nails that doesn't exhaust me too much so posts might be random for a bit but I promise I'll be back to full force soon!
Today I have my first Catrice polish on the blog! I have four of these beauties to show you soon but I couldn't wait to wear this one in particular and, fortuitously, it was also great for a challenge post! This baby is Catrice Mint Me Up and it's like Butter London Two Fingered Salute's long lost sister. Very similar base color (from what I can tell in pictures) and coppery flecks but this has the added golden shimmer. The effect is very subtle and from afar it looks like a dusty minty green with pretty shimmer but I know it's more special than that :D. Many many thanks to Deborah from Love, Varnish for making me need these and then actually helping me get them!! <3
This was just ONE coat! I should have done two since I see the ridges on my nails a bit but time is SO sparse lately that one coat is really all I could do and coverage was fantastic at just one.
Doing this post made me realize I missed blogging more than I thought so I'm going to take another moment to thank you all for reading my blabbering, it really does make me happy to see all your comments (which I'll respond to soon).
Have a great day loves!
My phone only picked this up as minty green, but when I clicked one of the photos - WOW! Love this color! The shimmer doesn't overwhelm the green & is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSo happy your new job is working out. You'll get a rhythm going soon. And I love this polish! Especially the copper flakes!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't believe how color intense that is with just one coat. Super gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. That is gorgeous! This reminds me of that lovely patina copper metal gets when it stays out in the weather...so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOooo I likey! It totally reminds me of BL 2 fingered salute? Now the big question is, was it cheaper?!? Lol
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful color! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLooking good, indeed! You'll adjust to your new schedules soon :)
ReplyDeleteNice unique green, very soft! I love it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it super pretty? I think it's one of the best 3 new colours from Catrice Spring range!
ReplyDeleteHey, darlin'!!!! Glad to hear you're starting to get acclimated to the whole new work scene. It takes time, and you know we'll all be here while you're sorting it out. Especially when you pump out a pretty like this one...
ReplyDeleteIt sure does smack of BL's Two Fingered Salute. I love the gold vibe to it., which I think offers more options in terms of pairing it up with other polishes.
Lovely mani, Kat!!!!
