Yes I made up a word-what are you gonna do about it?!?! Recently, I did a swap with Ivana at
Ivana Thinks Pink in Slovenia. I had seen on her blog that I owned her top lemming of all time. To me, the polish meant nothing-but to her?? Well-I'll just wait and let her tell you about it!!
She had sent me some Catrice polish. Since I can't get that here in the USA, I thought that'd be a cool thing to swap for. This is my first trial of Catrice polish. Today we have Plum Play With Me. I have been trying to bulk up the purples in my collection and this one is stunning. Of course, my camera ruined it-but no bother, it's all good!
Here is your silly bottle shot and a preview of what's to come-
Oh yeah-that's the skittlefied part! First we shall talk about Plum Play with Me. This is a true purple creme. I must say though that the formula kind of sucked. It was thin, runny and if I wasn't careful, it would pull up what I already laid down. Does that make sense? It got blotchy and seemed to not be nice to work with. Since this is my first Catrice-are they all like this? Or did I get a bum bottle? I had to do a thick second coat to cover up all the blotches and make it smooth. In the end, it really is a pretty color. Here are your indoor and outdoor shots.

Please note, that this is NOT the true color. My camera does not like purples. I wish I could find a way to fix that! Next, I took each of the Essie Luxe effects and Unicorn Puke and did a finger each on my left hand, and all Puke on my right hand.

From left to right these are: Pure Pearlfection, Shine of the Times, Gold as it Gets, Set in Stones and Unicorn Puke. Yes I do have a right hand, it's just not my model hand! This is all Cult Nails Unicorn Puke.
I am really not sure how I feel about these Essie effects. I am not a glitter fan, but am trying out new things. I am kind of digging the Unicorn Puke. It really is very pretty in person. As far as the Essie's go-I remain undecided.
What do you guys think? Are you dying for these Essies???
