Catrice - Genius In The Bottle & Comparison

Catrice recently replaced some products out of their range for new ones, about 25 %. So tonight I went to several drugstores where they sell Catrice, and found out they were taking care of it at that moment. Since they weren't done yet, and I was cold and had to go back home to study, I just grabbed some of the polishes that were already there. 

Catrice has also improved their brush, it became larger. I think I like it, but I have to get used to it first. You only need two streaks to cover a nail. 

When I looked at Catrice's press release photo's, 'Genius In The Bottle' was my favourite, so I was glad I was able to find that one. 

Here it is! Definitely a duochrome. I have this feeling it's some kind of replacement for the discontinued 'Iron Mermaiden', also a duochrome, but the colours are way different. It changes from copper to green to bronze... Very pretty. I keep staring at it and turning my nails into different angles, even when I was taking a shower, lol. Also, the name of this polishes reminds me of that song called 'Genie in a bottle' from Christina Aguilera. No idea if it has anything to do with it.


I thought Nubar's Wildlife might be similar to Genius In The Bottle, so I decided to do a comparison.

The formula turns out to be way different. Fortunately, neither of them are streaky, which I experience a lot when applying a duochrome. Genius In The Bottle contains more shimmer and less duochrome than Wildlife. I actually don't think I can choose between these two, because Wildlife has a stronger duochrome effect, but Genius In The Bottle turns out to look warmer.

So, what do you think? Would you buy both of them or do you have one of them? 

Nubar - Wildlife

Today I'm wearing a very strong duochrome called Wildlife. This was also part of Nubar's Going Green collection. The base colour seems to be a pink copper colour, but it's not very difficult to see that there's also a strong green duochrome effect in this. I'm not really a duochrome fan, but I would totally recommend this to those who love duochrome. 

Nubar - Reclaim and my jewellery for prom

Today I'm showing you a gorgeous green prismatic polish called 'Reclaim'. It's from Nubar and it's part of their Going Green collection. What can I say? Green is my favourite color, and a whole collection full of green with lots of different finishes... Me likey. I want them ALL! It's the perfect collection for every green lover. Application is perfect, this is a two coater. 

In about three or four weeks, there will be... Prom. Everybody around me is making a big deal out of it, and they're all buying insanely expensive dresses which cost hundreds of euro's. It may sound weird, but that's just not me. Why would I spend so much money on a dress I will be wearing just once, or maybe twice? Anyway, I bought a dress for less! I will save the pictures of the dress for later, but I do already have some pictures of the jewellery I will be wearing with it. 

This is the necklace I will be wearing. I decided I wanted to have a short necklace (I'm used to long necklaces) and that it had to be black. You see, my dress is black with blue.. But I didn't want to wear any blue jewellery, because I want to keep it subtle. 

And then this ring. I think it matches the necklace perfectly, I can't wait to wear them together. I'm also pretty sure about wearing black nail polish, but I'm still not sure about whether to combine this with a blue stamping design or a marble design, for example.
