CATRICE Vernis à ongles Gel Affair 021 Caught On The Red Carpet, 10,5 ml

CATRICE Gel Affair Nail Lacquer 021 Caught On The Red Carpet, 10.5 ml

A deep wine red, darker and dressier than a classic bright red, and equally at home on short or long nails. The formula aims at seven days of wear with no base coat underneath and no top coat over it.

The finish imitates gel: the layer dries slightly domed and bounces light back like resin, yet everything happens in open air with no lamp involved. Acai fruit oil appears in the ingredient list.

Key points

• Intense, opaque burgundy red
• Glossy gel finish without a UV lamp
• Wear time stated at up to 7 days
• Used on its own, no base or top coat
• Vegan, free from parabens and fragrance

Two thin coats beat one thick one: with a lacquer this pigmented, an overloaded layer takes an age to cure right through and dents at the slightest knock. Leave two or three minutes between passes and keep your hands out of hot water for the following hour.
