Everyone's talking about them - the new ICONails nail polishes by Catrice.
With an innovative formula that is supposed to last up to 7 days without a top coat.
Well, I put that claim to the test. Let's see how it went.
Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer
LASTS UP TO 7 DAYS – WITHOUT A TOP COAT!The innovative nail polish formula ensures a perfect gel-shine finish and maximum durability on the nails. Thanks to the GLOSS SEAL’RTM Technologie, the nail polishes have a spectacular high-shine finish. The ICONails Gel Lacquers are enriched with acai oil, which provides pampering care for the natural nails in addition to intensive colour – Colour & Care at its best!
I tested two shades - 05 It's all about that red and 18 Beetlejuice.
The exclusive packaging is particularly practical: the slim, round cap with the professional brush allows an especially simple and accurate application. It is easy to apply just the right dosage of texture without any streaks.
05 IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT RED
A beautiful classic bright red that needs two thin coats for full opacity. The formula is lovely, the brush is amazing.
I wore it for 7 days before it chipped. With a top coat. I loved it!
18 BEETLEJUICE
Beetlejuice is a duo chrome nail polish that goes from lilac to a blue-green color. It shows its true colors only in shadow. In direct sunlight, it looks grayish.
I used two layers for full opacity. It lasted for 6 days on my nails before it chipped.
Overall I am happy with both nail polishes and I am impressed with the longevity. It's one of the rare nail polishes that last this long on my nails.
Before this line (and L.O.V.'s) nail polish would chip on me in two days. Mostly it would just peel off like a sticker.
I think I'll need to get more of them and because the price - less than 3€ this makes for an amazing nail polish. Great job Catrice!
