Catrice Ultimate Nails

While I have yet to see Catrice polish with my own two eyes, I'm still looking!  I finally found its sister polish, Essence in an Ulta store, but it was a super limited selection and they didn't have any of the new colors.  Regardless, please enjoy the following press release from Catrice!

Cheeky Monkey No Bra

Reader request here!  Ericka wanted to see what Cheeky Monkey No Bra was like.  Cheeky's website lists No Bra as a light neutral beige creme and that's pretty accurate.  I found the color to be a little lighter and more yellow brown than the online bottle but still pretty spot on.  Great neutral color for the office but I did find it a little too close to my skin tone.


I used a base of Cheeky Monkey Wet Dream, 3 coats of No Bra and a top coat of Seche Vite.  The formula on this color was nice - not too streaky or thick.

Here in the sun, you can see that it's a nice shiny color when the Seche Vite it added and just an overall nice beige.

Two different shade pictures next.  The first was under my porch, the second was more of an indirect sun.  I'm not sure I could rock this color on nubbins as well as it looked on long nails.  Nice color overall.  Hope this helps Ericka and all my readers!


Cheeky Monkey can be purchased on their website [official website] for $15 a bottle.

Blogs of Note

Happy Sunday!  I have 3 more blogs here for you.

First today is Playing with Polish.  Owner Jessica has medium nails and doesn't always buy entire collections but rather just the polishes that really grabs her eye.  She did get Shellaced before her trip overseas which was great to see an actual wear test from a blogger.  I'm still hoping to get Shallaced this year.


Next is Sasse's Stamping Stampede.  She has short nails that are always Konaded and has a great list of non-Konad polish that works with Konad (found here).


Last is So Much Pretty which is a beauty blog that is owned by someone I met through the blogging world.  She has a lot of different press releases and product reviews.


Enjoy!

Giveaway Prize

Well, the winner of the China Glaze Vintage Vixen Cat’s Meow 6 piece set never wrote back to give me her mailing address which I required to have by 10/31.  I ended up giving her another 5 days extra and still - nothing.  :(


So what would you like to see happen?  Please vote in the embedded poll and let me know!  I will be holding at least 3 giveaways this month... two sponsored by companies and one for my 600 Followers... the 600 Followers is where I would re-purpose the Cat's Meow 6 piece set if you (the reader!) think I should.


Voting ends this Monday 8 November.
