NOTD: Catrice ~ Mint Me Up

Hello people! Today I'm going to show you my NOTD, because I love this colour so freakishly much I need to share it with someone else than my BF who's only comment was: you can sell this one. To elaborate: I am planning to thin my collection a bit and obviously he thought I do not need to stick to this particular shade. Then again, I know he hates these colours on me. But I shan't sell it because i LOVE it! 
I am a bit late with the new Catrice colours, I was in Hong Kong when they came out. And then I first saw them in Vienna and I've bought The Dark Knight, because I needed a vampy colour and I adore the name (Batman fan!). The brush on that one was a disgrace! A very old and used broomstick came to mind when applying the polish. Catrice, what have you done? You had perfect brush, what the hell happened? But still, seeing new colours on Parokeets blog, I realised I will buy some other shades as well, even if I swore I shan't be buying any more polish for myself. Mint Me Up was the first one I bough then and luckily the brush is wonderful, and the colour is simply fantastic. Yay! 




To see the golden shimmer more clearly.
This was three coats, two would probably be enough, but I wanted my macro shots to look nice. Good brush, a bit tricky formula though. Mint shade, what can you do. All in all I love it. It's like someone in Catrice factory would mix I Sea You! and Am I Blue Or Green? and added a bit of shimmer. Success!!

Which colours do you recommend from the new line?

Thank you for reading!

  4. Very pretty. I love greens and this is such a nice muted minty dusty green. It reminds me of Sinful Colors' Mint Apple which is a favorite. Yours is a bit more bluer though and look at those gorgeous golden shimmers peeking out!

    1. Oh yes, that Sinful is quite lovely as well. Catrice has a similar mint colour and I love it.

    1. Kod Mint Me Up me stvarno iznenadila, odlična je. Ali ne sviđa se mi baš, da kvalitet sad nije isti svuda ... nikad neznam, koja četkica me ćeka u laku, jedino ako jih otvorim u trgovini ali to baš mrzim i nikada ne radim.

  9. I need this one, no matter how many mint nail polishes I hoarded so far, I need it! ;) As far as the other new shades go, take a look at Vino Tinto and Petrolpolitan, they're both gorgeous :) Oh, and don't even think about selling this one ;)
