Hey there
Happy Mothers Day :)
To follow up my "I've got the blues" post, I thought I'd share some (nailwheel) swatches with you. So for this post I used two polishes from Catrice's recent limited edition called Ozeana (in Blue out to Sea and Sea of Green).
At home I realized that I had an similar polish* that looked like a dead-dupe for Blue ot to Sea and after swatching them on the nailwheel this was the result(number 16,17 and 18, shown in the same order as the bottles):
*Look by Bipa is a drugstore brand and recently came up with a new permanent display, this is one of their new shades
I used two coats each (hence the two dots ;) )
Hmm- not that obvious, but a pic taken with flash revealed its secrets:
You might see that I topped half of Sea of Green with a Topcoat to see how they look like de-mattified.
another, more accurate pic:
Flash-pic
And some bottle-love:
Here a flash pic- the shimmer in the blue ones look different but aren't visible (on the nail) at all:
and a bonus pic for those who are curious about the whole nail wheel (drope me a line in the comments if you'd like to know which polishes I've swatched there :) )
Edit: Vedra to know which colors I've swatched on the wheel, so here they are:

| 2 Essie Mesmerize |
| 3 H&M Blue my mind |

Wow, you've got so many gorgeous blue polishes!
AntwortenLöschenthank you Biba :)
AntwortenLöschenWow looks great! I've been looking for the Sea of Green from Catrice Oceana but here in the Netherlands I can't find it anymore, only the blue and red polishes..
AntwortenLöschenWhich polishes are #1 and #12?
Sad to hear Gwen- hope you find them soon (a pitty though that they are only sold in a few places unlike essence, who is supervised by the same company)
AntwortenLöschen#1 is H&M Aquatini, from their spring collection and #12 is an unnamed Claire's in a dark blue shade
You have a nice collection of Catrice. I was able to receive some catrice from a swap! I have I see You! (muted green creme and Catrice Royal nights royal petrol a beautiful steel blue :)
AntwortenLöschenthanks rmcandlelight :D
AntwortenLöscheni have the royal petrol too but it's in my untried-stash, need to dig it out soon :D
I love sea of green! I already bought it a week ago. I think I´m going to pick up the blue one as well :)
AntwortenLöschenSpaceinvaders the blue one is great too :D
AntwortenLöschenHey, showing us that whole nailwheel without naming the polishes borders on torture (especially since I know these could be actually available here)! ;) If you have time please post the names, I'm especially curious about nr. 2 and 9, but would love to know the other shades too! :)
AntwortenLöschenThank you so much for the update, it's very useful to see the shades next to each other! I had assumed Catrice Blue my mind was a dupe for OPI Yogata..., but it's clearly not. And of course my fav Mesmerize must be an US brand again - at least they're not sueing etailers like OPI! ;)
AntwortenLöschenYogata and blue my mind are pretty close- i can give you a link (via email) to my favourite (austrian) e-tailer(they also have a walk-in store in vienna), they still have this and other polishes in stock :)
