CATRICE Vernis à ongles Gel Affair 022 Cherry Is The New Black, 10,5 ml

CATRICE Gel Affair 022 Cherry Is The New Black nail polish, 10.5 ml

A deep cherry red that reads almost black in low light, the sort of shade that earns its place every winter. Coverage is full, and two coats give a completely even surface.

What the Gel Affair line does differently is deliver a gel-style finish with no UV lamp, no base coat and no top coat. The high shine is claimed to hold for up to seven days, and the formula carries no fragrance, so there is no heady smell while you paint.

Key points

• Dark cherry red with full coverage
• Gel-look finish, no UV lamp required
• Neither base nor top coat needed
• Wear time of up to 7 days
• Vegan, free from parabens and paraffins
• Fragrance-free

On short nails this shade visually shortens the hand, so leave a hairline gap at the cuticle and it will look far tidier. Give it a good ten minutes before getting dressed, because dark polish marks fabric.
