Swatches Catrice Limited Edition Crème Fresh

Yesterday's post already showed what I think of this limited edition:

"The colors are perfect for Spring/Easter. Lovely pastels and a bright pink.

All the lacquers have a pearly shimmer which makes them even more sweet.

Colorwise this is a very beautiful limited edition.

 

However I didn't like the consistency of these polishes.

They are creamy (as you would expect from the name "Crème Fresh") but they are so thick that I had trouble to apply an even coat.

Although the polishes got gluey/sticky very fast, drying time was quite long.

Most of the polishes required two thin coats to be opaque and I find it very annoying to not being able to apply the next coat because the previous isn't dry yet."

 

Hereby the swatches of this limited edition:

 

C01 The Peach Boys

C03 Evergreen 60s

 

 

C04 Another Pink Panther

Perhaps a fast drying topcoat will be the key to this problem...I'll let you know.

 

Many ideas for these gorgeous colors but after removing the polish/nail art several times because of bumps, air bubbles and soft/mushy drying I was done with it!

 

Really...I'm a huge fan of Catrice polishes but this edition was going to see the trashcan!

And then I thought these would make just perfect lacquers for a sugar spun nail art.

Sticky within minutes ;D

 

And so it be...
