Catrice ~ London
Town at Sundown
Deep red
shimmer
I asked my boyfriend what colour he thought I should
wear today. He went for red, and I gave him three different reds to choose
between – he quickly decided that London Town at Sundown was the nicest of the
three. I always knew that he has great taste (also in nail polishes) haha!
The formula is no less than fantastic and this is a
true one coater. I did apply a second coat because that’s how I roll, but it
honestly wasn’t necessary. The drying time was very good.
Take a look at how pretty two coats look:
Amazing polish, I love it!
My boyfriend suggested stamping and that’s exactly
what I did. But first I applied a layer of Ellagee’s Rainbow Syrup, which is a
fantastic holo topcoat. Then I used the water decal stamping motif from Bundle
Monster’s BM-XL210 and I stamped with China Glaze’s Chrome is Where the Heart
is.
Here’s the final mani including a layer of topcoat.
One final shot:
I must admit that I regretted the stamping. That water
marble stamping motif is way too big for my nails, it covers up too much of the
original base colour. I knew that, I just forgot it. Perhaps I should just get
rid of that plate, grrr.
Number of
coats: 2 – but this is a one coater
Drying time: Really good
Drying time: Really good

I love it!
I love that red Catrice - I do kind of like the stamping, but I agree, it is a big pattern...
ReplyDeleteIt's way too big for my small nails. I love the motif though, so it's a shame :)
DeleteThe Catrice is gorgeous :)
I loved the color combo. I agree the stamping is big. I didn't realize it a water marble pattern until I read it. But it look great :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! And no, it's quite hard to see that the stamp is originally a water marble design :D It works way better on bigger and longer nails than mine :)
DeleteWhat a great mani you did! And how come boyfriends choose reds so often? ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteIt's funny that they often chose reds :D For my toes he usually picks a green polish :)
That is a really nice red polish! Well it's nice with the nail art too, but I do prefer it on it's own.
ReplyDeleteMe too, it's such a nice red on its own :)
DeleteBeautiful shade of red ...never heard of that brand before though...where is from?
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's a German brand, but sold in a number of countries, check this out: http://www.catrice.eu/en/index.html
