(Nail Art) Prizes/ Giveaways - Thanks Kruidvat and Catrice

'Somewhere in August I won a Catrice set with all new Fall season make uppies in there. This giveaway was on the Dutch Kruidvat Facebookpage. Omg, I'm feeling so lucky, cause I found two of their new Ultimate Laquer The Next Level polishes in the bag as well. Oh, how I love their polishes... I know, I didn't even do nailpolish swatches from their Summer 2015 shades, and I apologize, but I wasn't really in the mood to blog that much on here lately. I can't promise anything, but let's hope that will change. Aaaanyway, let's get into the video I made from this prize and their pics....'

'But, what's inside?!?!'

Purchases ~ Catrice Limited Edition VisionAiry Ultimate Laquers

'Gosh, it's a very long time, when I picked up a LE from Catrice, so I thought why not? Excally, these cool shimmers from their latest VisionAiry LE lured me in. I picked up two, cause mostly, their LE's appear in their regular line, well, color wise. They make pretty good look a likes of their LE's. I picked them up at my Dutch drugstore Trekpleister, for €3,59 each.'

'First, let's take a look at the package. Sooo purrrdy. All shimmery and glittery goodness. Really love these colors for a accent nail or something.'

'Now the swatches. I think these colors would be perrrfect for effects, but hey, it's called a Effect Laquer. I did one coat here, so I think the coverage is pretty decent. These colors reminds me a lot of winter. I want to say, that Mystic Moments reminds me of 62 Must - Have STEELetto also from Catrice and Greencard of Surreality is a good one for 63 Mind The Gap. So if you have these colors allready, you don't necessary need these. Personaly I love these kind of colors and I can't get enough of them at this time.'

Projects ~ My Christmas Manicure 2014

'I'm a bit late with sharing my Christmas Manicure. I did wear a lot of different Christmassy nailcombo's during this season, and gold with red accents was also one of them.' 

Used:
Catrice - I'm not a Greenager
Catrice - Nickel Minaj (Ringfinger)
Catrice Luxury Laquers Million Brilliance - Stars and Stories (over the green)
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Rosy Shooter (over the silver)

'However, I only photograph this one. I used green, with an silver accent. Over the green I did strokes of gold glitter, and I used a red glittery polish for the silver accent. I also want to point out, that glitters are very hard to catch, so I apologize for the wonkyness.'

Purchases ~ Trekpleister 1+1 Free Sales : Catrice Ultimate Laquers The Next Level #64, #65, #66, #67 (Fall 2014)

'There was a nice sale at the Dutch Trekpleister past September: buy one nailpolish get one free. So I went a bit nuts with Catrice's newest regular Fall colors. Catrice Ultimate Laquers are €2,99 each. (Except for one, and that's Blue and A Half Men. I wasn't sure to pick that one up, cause I'm not wearing tons of blue. In the end I picked it after the sale).'

From left to right: #64 It's Time For Lovender, #65 Be My Violetine, #66 Blue And A Half Men, #67 Greyday! Greyday!

'Like I said earlier, the brushes could be better at some colors. But still, the colors in this post are gorgeous. Maybe not that special anymore, still they scream Fall to me. The only color from this post wich needed two coats is Blue And A Half Men. However, I don't regret to get Blue And A Half Men, but it's not the favorite one. All the other ones could be worn in one coat, and goes on very well.'

From left to right: #64 It's Time For Lovevender, #65 Be My Violetine, #66 Blue And A Half Men, #67 Greyday! Greyday!

'You can guess my favorites, I think. Defenately the purples and the black.'

Purchases ~ Trekpleister 1+1 Free Sales : Catrice Ultimate Laquers The Next Level #59 - #63 (Fall 2014)

'There was a nice sale at the Dutch Trekpleister: buy one nailpolish get one free. So I went a bit nuts with Catrice's newest regular Fall colors. Catrice Ultimate Laquers are €2,99 each, so I paid for this lot basicly €7,50. (The sixth color I will show you in another upcoming post, beware of that).'

Left to right: #59 First Glass Up-Grape, #60 Out Of The Dark, #61 Greige! The New Beige, #62 Must-Have STEELetto, #63 Mint The Gap

'Those Fall colors are gorgeous. You can get away with one coat of the most Catrice Ultimate Laquers, and it dries quik. Only bad thing: Catrice doesn't really well on their brushes at the moment, so I don't know what that all about. The brushes are a bit bended at some polishes, or looking rough. So keep that in mind. The polishes gave me mostly a smooth application, and most of my brushes are okay. But let's be honest, right?'

#59 First Glass Up-Grape, #60 Out Of The Dark, #61 Greige! The New Beige

#62 Must-Have STEELetto, #63 Mint The Gap

'Favorites of the bunch: First Glass Up-Grape, Must-Have Steeletto and Mint The Gap. Those are beautiful eyecatchers for the nails.'

Purchases ~ Trekpleister Nailpolish 1+1 Free Sales : Catrice LE Luxury Laquers and Catrice Million Brilliance #03, #04, #07, #08

'There was a nice sale at the Dutch Trekpleister: buy one nailpolish get one free. So I went a bit nuts with Catrice's newest regular line: Luxury Laquers Million Brilliance. Along that, I bought also two discontinued Luxury Laquers, also one Million Brilliance in Glitz Carlton and one Sand'sation in 100 Per Sand Real. I bought these discontinued Limited Editions for only €2,50 each. The Million Brilliance Regular ones are normal €3,59, so I was done for €7,20, and got four polishes. Total of this: €12,20.'

Discontinued: Glitz Carlton, 100 Per Sand Real 

Regular Million Brilliance: #03 Let's Get Lost In Vegas, #04 Lost 'N Roses, #07 Stars And Stories, #08 My Big Green Wedding

'For the swatches, I only used one coat here, but off course, those are buildable. I personally want to use the Million Brilliance ones as a glittery topcoat accent nail.'

Projects ~ Connect the Dots... (Idea from Youtuber Tati)

'I got this awesome idea from Youtuber Tati: Mark your nailpolish bottles, if you put them in drawers. Or suitcases, like I did here. You take an dottingtool, and mark your bottles, like so:' 

'Here's how my suitcases and drawer looks now.'

Purchases ~ Catrice UL The Next Level #41 - #45 + New Catrice Colors Sneak Peak (Swatches)

'Over the past months I collected some more Catrice Ultimate Laquers The Next Level colors. The reason why I put these colors up now, is because some of them should be discontinued soon. You can purchase these colors now with 50% discount at the Dutch Kruidvat or Trekpleister. That means instead of paying €2,99 for most colors, you pay €1,50 for those. These colors should be replaced by new colors soon. I noticed they gonna release an Luxury Laquers line for permanent (?) now, wich contains Million Brilliance and Liquid Metal polishes. I'm excited for these line. Prices for these colors should be €3,59 a piece.' 

' Now on to my purchases.' 

* #41 Million Dollar Baby
* #42 Nickel Minaj
* # 43 Miami pINK
* # 44 Mermaid My Day
* #45 Kitch Me If You Can

'My favorites out of this bunch are Kitch Me If You Can, an pink glitter, and Mermaid My Day, an great teal blue shimmer color, wich is perfect on the beach these days. As we know from Catrice, these colors goes on smooth, and are quik drying. Miami pINK is the only one wich can use an third coat and looks a bit Christmassy, but if you look closer you can see that this color is defenately a fuchia glitter color.'

Purchases ~ Catrice UL in The Dark Knight and First Catrice Crushed Crystal

'I'm finally here to share with you my last purchased Ultimate Laquer from Catrice and my purchased Crushed Crystal. I should do this post way earlier, but offcourse, the Luxury Laquers came in between. (and so many other brands I spotted like OPI, Rimmel, Nicole by OPI etc...) So with no further jiggajagga, here are my Nailpolishes from Catrice.'

'Bought with 50% off: Catrice Ultimate Laquer in The Dark Knight. This color should be discontinued by now, but it's not really an unique color. Every brand has a color like this. I don't mind having another purple like this, though.'

'And here is my first Catrice Crushed Crystal. Those are so hard to photograph.  This color is PLUMdog Millionare.'

One coat PLUMdog Millionaire

Two coats PLUMdog Millionaire

'At this point I have a few more Catrice Nect Level Laquers, so be patient, I'm trying to make a swatch post wit them as well.'

... and here a video with two layers.

'I need to say that these Sand Laquers do feel a bit gritty on the nails, I love it. That way, it will make the polish more special to me. You will need two coats, though, but one will do, it's just how you want them pop.'
