Sold Out Forever

Recently I decided that I don't devote much attention to the local polishes. Somehow because they are always there and always availiable, so I have less interest to them as for the rare or overseas brands - I neither own a lot  from the German assortiment. One exception is LEs: once a polish is a limited edition, I grab it immediately. If it's not - I keep thinking for months if I really need it or not. Unless they are discontinued or sold out forever. The hero of today's post is exactly that case: meet Catrice Sold Out Forever.

Sold Out Forever is a warm jade green creme with almost invisible nanoshimmer. Formula is fine - easy 2-coat application, whereas you might have problems with the 2d coat. My tip is: make 1st coat rather thin, and layer a thicker second one. So you will avoid the third. This shade of polish has a hitch: the colour varies depending on 1) your skin tone; and 2) the lighting. The less light it gets, the colder the shade looks. To show all the nuances I made photos in diverse light modes - firstly, direct and indirect sun:

Surprisingly, I liked this shade more than I expected, also because it didn't reveal the red undertone of my skin. Sadly, the name of the polish is the absolute truth: it's discontinued by Catrice (whyyyy?!) and in most cosmetic shops - sold out forever.

Have you heard...

...an expression "German quality"? Surely you did :)
This time it's not about cars or industrial equipment, it's about nail polish of course: Catrice Dirty Berry could be a good example of perfect quality for a reasonble price. See yourself!



Now under the sun to show a subtle (!) holoeffect:


For a long time I was hesitant if I should get this polish (it's my first Catrice, shame on me), but swatches of Stickers, Annie and some other have convinced me totally. So, as you understand, I never regreted. Perfect application in 2 coats, fast drying, lasts long. Hooray to Catrice, I'm gonna get to know this brand better now! :)

P.S. This is a planned post, I'm being on a trip in Belgium, but be sure I'll post, read and answer your comments when I'm back!
