Hi loves! Twice a year, Catrice updates their core assortment and releases new goodies. Obviously I always have to check for new fun polishes and this time I brought home 2 shades. I wasn't as impressed with this assortment update - there are a few new polish lines but they keep increasing prices and I'm just not sure if it's still worth it.

Catrice (S)wimbledon is a turqouise shade, almost neon and with a very fine silver shimmer running through it. But, even though my pictures might convince you otherwise, the shimmer isn't really to be seen in real life. It might have to do with the opacity of the formula - you could get away with 1 careful coat! Application wise it's kinda thick. I used 2 here and topped it with G&G HK Girl topcoat.
Catrice All You Need Is Pink is a medium pink, kinda warm in tone filled with a silver shimmer that seems to have some gold specks, too. The shimmer is definitely visible in real life! Again, very opaque formula, though slightly thinner tha (S)wimbledon - 2 coats were needed for proper opacity. Topped with G&G HK Girl topcoat.
Overall conclusion
These 2 new shades are a nice addition to the range and I'm impressed with the opacity of both of them. Nice, creamy formulas that apply well. The brush has changed (again) but for the better this time. It's less rounded on the bottom and slightly wider than the previous brush, but it's easier to control and gives a nice rounded each at the cuticle.
My favorite is All You Need Is Pink because the shimmer remains visible, but if you are looking for a fun and bright turquoise shade (S)wimbledon is your pick!
Which one do you like best? And have you ever tried any Catrice polishes? Tell me in the comments!

I saw these last Monday when I went looking for the Nudes that were announced a while ago. I kind of liked them but I didn't buy any as, like you said, the prices keep going up and I'd rather save my money for some of those gorgeous indies I keep seeing ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are really nice! I think I may have a polish that's similar to (s)wimbledon but All you need is pink looks like something I need to get :). I haven't bought any Catrices in a year or so :o
ReplyDeleteWell ain't that lovely, here I was thinking I could probably skip the new stuff. Thanks :P Those 2 just scream for some nailart! :D
ReplyDeleteI love (s)wimbledon, definitely going to pick that up after my spending ban!
ReplyDelete(S)wimbledon is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI really love these colors. They are so fresh and vibrant. I especially love All You Need is Pink, it is suuuppper pretty!!
ReplyDelete(S)wimbledon is my kind of color. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried any Catrice colors. I think I would want to own (S)wimbledon for its awesome name.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time in my life, I think I have to go with a pink shade over a teal one as my favorite! I just love that shimmer in All You Need is Pink!
ReplyDeleteI would normally have to go with (S)wimbledon but the shimmer in All You Need Is Pink just blows it out of the water! Oh who am I kidding, I would get both. lol
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous shades - wish we could get Catrice over here.
ReplyDeleteI would totally wear both of those colors!
ReplyDeleteI think swimbledon is my fav of the 2
ReplyDeleteI still love Catrice and the green one is my fav here, your nails are epiccc! :D
ReplyDelete(S)wimbledon is an awesome color!
ReplyDeleteThe shimmer in these is beautiful - I would totally rock these
ReplyDeleteLove them both! They have a beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteOh my lanta! What beautiful shimmery shades. They are making me need Summer immediately!
ReplyDeleteI wish i had them here, ive always wanted to try them
ReplyDelete(S)wimbeldon is amazing!
ReplyDelete(S)wimbledon is one I NEED!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are gorgeous! Especially Catrice (S)wimbledon, I need these but not a fan of the increased prices :/
ReplyDeleteI agree, I prefer Alll You Need is Pink because of that shimmer! I have a few Catrice polishes that friends overseas have sent me but most of them are glitter toppers.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the new Catrice products the day and you are right, nothing super impressive, but now looking at the swatch of (S)wimbledon I might go and pick it up :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Catrice, and they are both lovely but the shimmer in All You Need Is Pink won me over.
ReplyDeleteDidnt know Catrice did polish! What pretty colors, the green in particular.
ReplyDeleteI really like these both!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I really love the delicate shimmer in these!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I think they would also look very nice together!
ReplyDeleteAll You Need is Pink is SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's not like they are ugly or something, but somehow it just irks me that we keep paying more but it's not like the quality really improves. Though Catrice seems to wear quite nicely on me. Oh well, when they have a 1+1 sale I'm pretty sure I'll buy some more ;-).
ReplyDeleteThanks Eva! They are nice though not so surprising, maybe when there's a sale you could score some?
ReplyDeleteHa, #sorryimnotsorry :D! They do! Some lovely stamping ^^.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry :).
ReplyDeleteThey definitely feel appropriate for Spring! Thanks ^^
ReplyDeleteGlad you do!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty awesome name, huh?
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely the shimmer that makes it a stand out!
ReplyDeleteHa, especially when they have a 1+1 sale ^^.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever want me to shop for you, don't hesitate to contact me!
ReplyDeleteI bet they'd look lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it :).
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet girl! I always love your comments ♥.
ReplyDeleteIt is!
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you like them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer, I especially loved how creamy they are.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever need me to send you some Catrice beauties.. just let me know!
ReplyDelete*hint* I love shopping for others ;-)!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it!
ReplyDeleteDo you have access to Catrice? If not - I could always help you out!
ReplyDeleteYup the sneaky increases are not the most fun, but other than that they are fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty huh? And so nice to have friends that do have access to certain brands, it's always annoying when you want something but can't get it.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure when there's a 1+1 sale I'll grab some more. Just not for the regular price!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever need a mule, let me know!
ReplyDeleteYup, and lots of it! Thanks Norah.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelby!
ReplyDeleteA bit too delicate in (S)Wimbledon, but the creamy formula makes up for that!
ReplyDeleteOh you might be right!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it ^^.
ReplyDeleteGood plan!
