Catrice recently released their new limited edition collection Hip Trip. Along with eyeshadow, blush, lipstick and bronzing powder, this collection consists of five new polishes:
Let’s jump right into the swatches!
All swatches have a base coat, two coats of color and a top coat (Seche Vite).
First up: Nude & Rude, a light beige nude cream with ultra fine shimmer. I thought this was going to be very streaky, but it turned out not as bad as I thought. I applied the second coat ‘flowing’ without to much pressure. My favorite of these five is Wheels On Fire, a lovely pink with very subtle shimmer. The formula of this one is great.
Green Days, a light green green with shimmer. The first coat was sheer and a little streaky, but the second coat made it completely opaque.
The Salmon Dance, a dusty light pink cream with fine shimmer. As with Nude & Rude, I applied the second coat flowing to prevent streaking.
Blue Highway really stands out from this collection if you ask me. A dark blue shimmer among soft shades? It is lovely! The blue and purpleΒ shimmer makes this a true beauty. It is very pigmented. The formula is on the thin side, comparing to the rest. Not runny or anything, just something to keep in mind while applying.Β
Final thoughts:
I think this is a pretty collection. The blue one really stands out. I was expecting (a lot of) streaking with the soft shades, but it wasn’t so bad as I thought. Comparing to some other Catrice polishes that I’ve tried, the formula of these is pretty good. Sadly, my pictures doesn’t show the shimmer very well. It isn’t very visible on the nails either, at least with some of them. Pretty shades!
Did you pick up any polishes or other goodies from this collection?
nude and rude – LOVE

They are cute! I only picked green days and Blue Highway this time. I had the same experience with Green days. At first I really thought it wouldn’t cover in two layers at all. It’s a green surpise π
It is! π
Green days is right up my alley, bright and cheerful! Great swatches!
Thanks so much! π
The salmon dance vind ik wel mooi π
Een mooie zachte kleur he? π
ja lief! π
I love Wheels on Fire and Green days! They are very lovely!!
They are! Thanks!
I love Catrice polishes. But I can’t get them where I live. Boo. They look stunning on you! Love the deep blue one.
That’s such a pity! I’d be happy to pick some up for you if you’d like! Let me know π
That would be great, but I would insist on sending you some products you want in return. β€
Great idea! Please e-mail me so that we can arrange something π polish.alcoholic@gmail.com
That would be so amazing. I would definitely do a post about it as well with pics of the colors. My email is blnelson87@yahoo.com
The green looks just like a discontinued kiko I have, but my favourite is also the pink one! Might have to see if I have something similar and, if not, try to get my hands on it π
I don’t think that it’s very unique, but the subtle shimmer in it really makes it stand out! π
I love that green!
π It’s lovely!
Gorgeous ! You are so lucky, your skin tone looks amazing against any colour !
Ahww thanks so much. The only hue that doesn’t like my skin tone is the mustard murky yellow… you know what I mean π At least, I really don’t like it with my skin tone.
Mooie swatches! Ik heb alleen Nude & Rude meegenomen en ben ‘m meteen gaan swatchen, I love it!
π Die is zeker mooi! Goede keus!
