catrice after eight 400

odmah moram da upozorim, ovaj post će imati malo više slika nego obično, jer je u pitanju jedan od mojih omiljenih lakova, catrice after eight. pretpostavljam da je jasno odakle su u catrice-u dobili inspiraciju za ime :) ono što mi nikad neće biti jasno: zašto kompanije ne stavljaju verne sličice bočica na sajtove i promo slike? ovde je after eight ispao poprilično plav.

i must warn you, this post will have a few more pictures than usual, since i am presenting one of my all time favourites, catrice after eight. i guess their inspiration for the name is quite obvious :) one thing i really don't get, though, is why the companies don't put faithful pictures of the polishes in their websites and promos. here, after eight looks bluish.

after eight je tamno zelena nijansa sa zelenim i plavkastim šimerom koji nije preterano upadljiv, ali nije ni da treba da stojite direktno pod suncem u podne da bi se video.


iako je prilično taman, na noktima nikad ne izgleda crn. iz nekog neobjašnjivog razloga, ja ga vidim kao zelenu verziju još jednog njihovog fantastičnog laka, captain sparrow's boat (ili chanel black pearl). posle prvog sloja izgleda pomalo sivkasto, i svaki put kad ga mažem pitam se kako će dostići prelepu boju koju znam da ima, ali se to uvek desi kad dodam drugi sloj. formula je inače solidna, a i četkica je ona stara, savršena catrice četkica i stvarno se nadam da će je vratiti.

prirodna svetlost:

after eight is a deep green shade with green and blueish microshimmer that is not really in your face, but it's not like you have to stand directly under the sun in noon to see it. even though it is rather dark, it never looks black.

for some reason that i really can't explain, i see it as a green version of catrice's other amazing polish, captain sparrow's boat (or chanel black pearl). after the first layer it looks greyish and i wonder every time will it build up to this amazing color, and it always does after the second layer. other than that, the formula is solid and it has catrice's old school brush that we all love.

koristila sam bazu (opi start to finish) + dva sloja laka + top coat (essence better than gel nails top sealer BTGNTS).
