Swatch: Catherine Arley No. 140

(above camera flash - below natural light)

This is a color that I thought I would like but unfortunately it's not like that.

Pretty color but not stunning, totally boring on my nails.

It's quite sheer and probably too on the pink side for me.

I used a little for some franken and probably I will never wear it alone.

This color is actually a half franken. When I bought it the silver was pretty but very subtle so once at home I added some silver and multicolored glitter.

This is the result and I really like it.

It's perfect over every color and can transform plain colors in eye catching manicures!

Above black the glitter stand out very much.

Swatch: Catherine Arley No. 125

I never saw Catherine Arley polishes before last summer. I literally stumbled on them.

I went shopping with my friends and I was randomly looking around when I hit a big bowl full of polish from Catherine Arley. I was on the phone with my mum so I said: "Mom, there's a bowl full of cheap polishes, I have to go!" and I hung up! The color range wasn't very big but I bring home 3 of them.

This pink was the one I liked the least but I didn't have anything like that at the time. When I put it on I didn't change my mind. Boring color and too sheer to wear it alone, maybe can be used for french manicure.
