Catrice: C01 December To Remember
Classic red crème

C01 “December To Remember” is the last third of Catrice’s 2022 Holiday collection “Sparks Of Joy”. I’ll link to the two others in the collection at the end of this post.  

The formula of “December To Remember” is good and so is the coverage. I used two coats for this manicure and the drying time is good.

I dapped a bit of glitter by the base of each nail. The glitter is OPI’s “Glitter To My Heart”; a lovely silver/white glitter.

This is the final manicure including a layer of topcoat:

I really love this.

This is “December To Remember” alone; two coats and no topcoat.  I adore this colour.

OPI: Charmed, I’m Sure
Fuchsia purple shimmer

“Charmed, I’m Sure” is from OPI’s holiday 2022 collection “Jewel Be Bold”.

The colour of “Charmed, I’m Sure” is gorgeous but the formula is so tricky. It’s patchy and not easy to apply. It’s sheer as well. Not a winner formula-wise. I used three coats for my nails. The drying time is average.

I applied a bit of glitter by the base of my nails. The glitter is CND Creative Play’s “Look No Hands”.

This is the final result:

OPI “Charmed, I’m Sure” and CND Creative Play “Look No Hands”

Look at how pretty it is.

And here’s “Charmed, I’m Sure” alone; three coats and no topcoat yet.

It’s a shame that the formula is both tricky and sheer – and that the drying time is “only” average. The colour is super gorgeous, but… I’m not sure I have patience for this in future.


Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Average
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Tricky, sheer formula, average drying time. Gorgeous colour but it doesn’t quite make up for the formula problems
