I’ve got this lacquer from the Catrice Glamourama collection. It is Times Square at midnight. A deep purple with blue and pink shimmer. I think it is a really nice color. At the picture above you can’t see the shimmer because the lightning sucks at the moment in The Netherlands.

I like these kind of lacquers matte, so I decided to try out the brand new Matte topcoat from Catrice. As most of you may know they changed their core collection, and this is one of the new lacquers they’ve got.

I saw this idea at lacquerized I believe (correct me if I’m wrong). I really liked the idea of playing a bit with the matte and shiny topcoats. So I did a fancy french manicure. First I applied the matte topcoat and then I did a freehand french with regular tc. The lacquer applied easily, 2 coats is enough to make it cover you whole nail. Wear time is good, the photo’s above are made after 1.5 day of wearing. Only the french topcoat is a bit chipped, the polish under that is still okay.

This is the last one from the matte collection. This is Matte Smoke. This one has the satin finish too.

Opaque in 2 coats again. Easy application and a nice color. What do we need more?

The only black I own is this matte (satin) one. It is as all the matte polishes from DC quite opague after 1 coat, but for the best result you would need two.
