Allo polish
Pals,
How are we all this
morning? Have you been up to anything exciting? I've just been
feeling so lethargic and...'phloomfy' lately. Just sort of.. heavy
and tired all the time. I know I've got to get that in check - I'm
not generally lazy at all, so its more of a feeling. I do a lot but
everything just feels like effort at the moment - do you know what I
mean? Its weird.. Maybe its the change in season.
Today I have a swatch and review of Catrice's 'First Class
Up-Grape'.
Colour ~ 'First
Class Up-Grape' is a gorgeous deep (yeah you guessed it) grapey wine
shade, a beautiful combination of red and purple with a fabulous
glossy finish. Mr Bravo calls this 'Eggplantly' rather than grapey
but I think it lives up to its name perfectly. I am wearing two coats here.
Application
~ I had no real issue with application but I will recommend you
watch how fast and thick you apply your coats as it could bubble up
on yo'. Dry time is relativity good. It also seems to self level pretty nicely, we all know thats never a bad thing ;)
Texture ~
Definitely on the thicker side but not too much to be a problem.
Recommend
it to a friend? I think so, if
they are looking for a really glossy and glazed looking deep shade
although I think this is one that may really divide opinions

I really like this polish, dry time is pretty standard but that's to
be expected from the thickness of this polish. That said – doesn't
that beautiful glossed look seem worth it? I love when nails have
such a beautiful sheen. I'd say this is worth the stars I'm giving it
just from that alone.
Do
you like such deep grapey/wine shades? Would you wear this
colour?
Have a
lovely day!
Love
Ithi
amazing purple with pinch of gold :)

ReplyDeleteI've been picking this polish up and putting it back on the stands for a couple of times already, it's going in my basket the nest time I see it, I love it on your nails. PS I'm as well feeling a bit off for, well, since Fall started. I'm blaming it on the weather, I'm just not feeling it. :/ I hope you feel better soon. <3
