Catrice ~
Alluring Night
Dark teal/blue
with microshimmer
and
B. O. ~ 68
Clear base
packed with silver glitter and stars
Alluring Night is from the ‘Welcome
To Las Vegas’ limited edition. It’s a very dark blue with microshimmer and it looks absolutely beautiful
in the bottle.
The formula was a dream –
not too runny, not too thick – and the polish went on effortlessly. No streaks
or bald spots and it was almost opaque after the first coat. I gave it two
coats anyway, to give the polish the best conditions to impress.
It dried up a bit on the
matte side. Here’s how it looks without top coat:
Pretty, no?
But a night needs stars to
be alluring for real. So I grabbed a bottle of B. O., which is a clear base
packed with glitter and stars, and got ready to do some fishing. Little did I
know that fishing wasn’t necessary. There were stars on the brush every time I
pulled it up. In fact, I sometimes had to push some stars off the brush,
wanting only two stars on each nail.
The polish smells pretty weird. Not bad, just weird, and drying time is definitely on the slow side. Thank god it only needed one layer of glitters/stars.

Here’s the result, all
sealed up with a layer of Color Club’s top coat.
Do you like it? I must admit
that I am absolutely in love with the B.O. polish!!

I love it! Talk about a starry starry night!!
ReplyDeleteYou actually can't see the stars in Vegas well. The lights of the city are too bright.
Really? I'd love to go there myself one day and check it out. :) It sounds like I could make myself comfortable there.
DeleteI love it with the stars on top. This isn't my favourite catrice shade but the B.O polish really brings it to life
ReplyDeleteThe Catrice didn't live up to my expectations either, so it might be finding a new home at some point :)
DeleteThat B.O. could easily become a favourite!
I like the bottle more than the color of the Catrice. I do love the stars for sure!
ReplyDeleteI agree - and I just LOVE the stars! :D
DeleteThis mani looks like a night sky! <3
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished, then. <3
DeleteGreat layering!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteReally love the top coat. I bet it was nice not needing to fish xD
ReplyDeleteIt was fantastic to just pull up star after star for each dip in the polish! ;D
DeleteWell done, I love the starry night :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I do too! :)
DeleteWow this is really pretty ! I love this combo!
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for stars. I really like them, which is why that topper is perfect! :)
