Catrice – Travelight Stories trend edition

Hey guys,

Happy Wednesday! How has your week been so far? Mine has been a little insane and crazy busy but it also means the days are flying by in a crazy blur!

While in this crazy blur I happened to see some new trend editions out by Catrice and Essence. I was extremely excited about both and I knew I had to try and get them swatched as soon as possible.  I started with the Catrice one and (what felt like) speed swatched them to be able to show you today.  Lets get to it.

Catrice – Chilly orange

This is 2 coats with no topcoat. This is a super opaque bright orange creme with a coral undertone.  It has a beautiful formula and is the most beautiful bright summery shade. It is absolutely gorgeous.  In the bottle it just looks like a normal orange but gosh it is beautiful.  This is also almost a one coater so I am excited for what might happen in the next Tuesday Stamping

Catrice – Salty shimmer sunset

This is 2 coats with no topcoat.  I really struggled to show this polish off at its best.  I think it freaked out my camera like crazy.  This is a white shimmery polish packed with so much glittery goodness.  I was surprised that it only took 2 coats to get this opaque and it was so shimmery it almost looked silver.   The polish also looks a bit lumpy which I suspect is the crazy shimmer playing with the light.  This is beautiful polish with a great formula and a surprisingly nice opacity.  I am not sure if I would wear it on it’s own but I am excited to pair it with the other shades in the collection.

Catrice – Skyline

This is 2 coats with no topcoat.  This is a light blue to silvery chrome.  It applies a bit brush strokey but the more it dried the less obvious they were.  I actually took a photo from a bit further away to show you how they aren’t as obvious unless you’re looking super close (like these photos).  This one also had a really nice formula and also almost a one coater.  It is actually a beautiful shade of chrome -y polish so don’t be put off by the brush strokes you might see initially.  Let it dry and it will be far less noticeable.  See?

Catrice – Deep dark winters

This is 2 coats with no topcoat.  This is a dark navy blue creme that dries to a rubbery matte finish.  I love the dramatic look of this polish and I also think it is perfect for the cooler weather we should have soon (I hope).  It’s quite dark and may look blackened in some light but I think the matte finish adds to it.  It applies beautifully and is also almost a one coater.

What do you think of this collection?  I will be honest, I was initially just drawn to the bottles and I had already decided that I NEED them once I saw them online.  It took a while to finally reach our shores but I am so happy it did because not only are the bottles the cutest thing ever, the colours are pretty great too.  I must apologise for the rushed swatches and if I have time I might try and do a better of it but I focused more on getting the polish as best I can.  I really like this collection and I also love how different all the polishes are.  In finish and in colour.  Do you have a favourite?

These are available from Dischem.
