CATRICE Vernis à ongles Gel Affair 035 Love It Or Leaf It, 10,5 ml

CATRICE Gel Affair 035 Love It Or Leaf It: sage green with a gel finish, 10.5 ml

A soft, slightly dusty sage green that steps away from reds and nudes without ever shouting. The Gel Affair formula aims for a salon gel look yet goes on like an ordinary polish: no base coat, no top coat, no UV lamp.

Colour is fully opaque from the first pass and the shine stays bright for up to seven days. Açaí fruit oil sits in the formula, which is vegan and fragrance-free.

Key points

• Sage green shade with full opacity
• High-gloss gel finish, no UV lamp needed
• Wear time stated at up to 7 days
• Works alone, without base or top coat
• Vegan, paraben-free, fragrance-free

On short nails this green reads as quietly stylish; on longer nails it turns theatrical, which may be exactly the point. Only add the second coat once the first is properly dry, otherwise the gloss goes cloudy and the finish dents at the slightest knock.
