Catrice swatches - Be Aztec, From Dusk To Dawn and a Paradoxal dupe comparison and Red Butler

 

Today I again have some random Catrice Swatches for you - all shown in two coats - without a top coat.
Some are retired and/or re-launched with a new name and possibly a slight change...
The first is Be Aztec! - a gorgeous army green with an amazing shimmer....

 

The next is From Dusk To Dawn, and it's one of many Chanel Paradoxal dupe - but gorgeous.

 

My paradoxal dupes left to right: Absolute Nails by Douglas Maria 09, Catrice From Dusk To Dawn and China Glaze Jungle Queen.

 

The final Catrice polish today is Red Butler - I already have show nail art on this color...

All comments will be read when I open my computer again sometime next week!
HERE you can see what I have scheduled to post during my blog absence :)

Maria's flowers

 

 

I wanted new photos of Douglas Absolute Nails Maria 09, the first were from a dark day, see the new ones HERE.

I felt like painting flowers on them, using acrylic colors, and I ended up with flowers that could be roses, but also peonies. Do you like them?

Jeg har taget nye fotos af Douglas Absolute Nails Maria 09, da de første var taget en mørk dag, se de nye HER.

Jeg fik lyst til at male blomster, og endte op med det du ser på billederne. Jeg brugte akrylfarver, en fin pensel, og afsluttede med Seche Vite Top Coat. Det kunne både være roser, men også bonderoser (pæoner) – hvad synes du om dem?

Absolute Nails polishes are exclusively made for and sold in the Perfume shop chain called Douglas. Of course I “needed” to get Maria LOL – and the color is a dupe for Chanel Paradoxal. It’s a very dark mauve/plum with a purple hue. I also find it’s close to Misa Earthward, even if Earthward isn’t mauve – only brown. It’s darker than Essie Merino Cool and China Glaze Below Deck, that also has the same mauve/plum as Maria.
This is 2 coats over a base coat, no top coat. It’s easy to apply and dries quickly. 
PS: I added winter sun photos on January 31th.

Absolute Nails lakkerne sælges udelukkende i den tyske parfumerikæde Douglas. Maria var naturligvis en nødvendighed at få, med DET navn ;) – farven er udråbt til at være en kopi af Chanel Paradoxal. Den er en meget mørk mauve/blomme med et violet skær. Jeg synes også den er tæt på Misa Earthward, der dog er brun uden mauve og blommepræget. Den er mørkere end Essie Merino Cool og China Glaze Below Deck, der også har det mauve/blommepræg som Maria har. 

Dette er 2 lag over base coat, men der er ikke brugt top coat. Den er let at lægge og tørrer hurtigt.
PS: jeg tilføjede vintersol fotos den 31. januar.
