Catrice: C03 Wrapped In Happiness
Coppery orange shimmer

C03 “Wrapped In Happiness” is another one third of Catrice’s 2022 Holiday collection “Sparks Of Joy”. I’ll link to the two others in the collection as I post them here on the blog.

The formula of “Wrapped In Happiness” is sheer. I used two coats and the drying time is good. I think I should have used three coats to get full coverage.

I stamped on it. The motif is from Moyou London’s stamping plate “Pro Collection-14”. I stamped with “Vinous” from El Corazòn.

This is the final manicure:

This is “Wrapped In Happiness” alone; two coats and no topcoat.  The shimmer is quite amazing.

China Glaze: None Of Your Risky Business
Bright orange crème

“None Of Your Risky Business” is from the Lite Brites Summer collection of 2016. I used it for a water marble manicure in 2016 but haven’t actually used it as a “real polish” – so to speak. Today I’m going to change that.

The formula is on the sheer side and I used two coats for my manicure today. I can see on the photos that I should have worn a third coat for the photo – but two coats was enough for the naked eye. The drying time was good.

I made a brush stroke with white and made three blue dots on top of the white. I topped it all with El Corazón’s holo topper 421h/25.

This is the final result under a lamp:

I kind of regretted the blue and wished that I had used red instead.

Here are the polishes I used today.

I didn’t photograph “None Of Your Risky Business” on its own because I thought it was already on the blog. Maybe next time.

Here's a link to my post where I use it for water marbling: Click here

Overall impression: Formula is a bit on the sheer side, good drying time, really awesome colour. And it water marbles.
