I received this nail polish, because Catrice representatives from Slovenia saw this on my wishlist. What a lovely surprise it was and I knew immediately I will like it, because I already had Essence Glitter On Glitter Off Nail Polish 02 Razzle Dazzle which is pretty much the same formula as this one, but with smaller glitter and I love that formula, because it's so easy to remove.
Packaging
It comes in a glass bottle. The shape is squared with cut off edges. It has that regular medium long and thin brush. In it is 11 ml of product and it costs 4.39€.
Formula
This is peel off nail polish which means you take it off by just peeling it off the nail. That is why this feels thicker and it's more like a liquid glue. Glitter in it is more of a medium size and that makes it harder to apply evenly.
First coat is thinner with sparse glitter. Usually I go in with the second thicker coat and it can start to look chunky in certain places. Two thin coats, as it suggests on the bottle, are better. But I wanted it to look really dense and packed with glitter. There were some bolder spots, but that was because I didn't wait for it to dry properly. Apply few thinner coats for best result.
Colors
There are 8 colors available from silver and gold to more colorful options like blue and pink. 03 When In Doubt, Just Add Glitter is cool toned gold and it looks almost a bit bronze like. It's a mix of silver and gold colored glitter.
Performance
This takes longer to completely dry down and that is one of its disadvantages. If you apply thicker coats, it will take even longer to dry down. Once it's dry, it doesn't move and actually is quite long lasting for such a formula. I wore it for four days without any problem. On the forth day one of the nails chipped, so I peeled them all off. They peel off in one piece, if you apply thicker coat. The thicker the coating on nails, the easiest to remove.
Formula is not the easiest to apply evenly and it needs time to dry down, but the easiness of removing it, makes it all worth it. I hate wearing regular glitter nail polishes, because they are such a hassle to take off. This kind of formula, I actually love to wear. The glitter is big enough that it creates that impact and it's fairly long lasting for such a formula. This is that party nail polish that you apply for the party and can remove it the next day with the utmost ease. I would love to get some more colors in the future.

I absolutely love these! I don't wear regular glitters much because they're a pain so these are perfect. I find that using quick dry drops between layers really helps make them dry faster!
ReplyDeleteI love them for the same reason. What a good idea, haven't thought of using those types of products :).
