CATRICE Vernis à ongles Gel Affair 043 Cranberry Jam, 10,5 ml

CATRICE Gel Affair 043 Cranberry Jam nail polish, 10.5 ml

Cranberry Jam is a dark, deep red that sits closer to crushed berries than to a classic pillar-box shade. The polish aims at a high-gloss gel look with no UV lamp and no salon appointment. Two coats are enough for full opacity.

CATRICE states wear of up to seven days, and the formula works alone: neither a base nor a top coat is required to get that domed finish.

Key points

• Dark red 043 Cranberry Jam
• Gel-like gloss without a UV lamp
• Intense colour, high opacity
• Lasts up to 7 days
• Free from parabens, fragrance and mineral oils

Dark reds are far less forgiving of a slip than nudes: run a cotton bud barely dampened with remover around the nail before it dries fully and the edge comes back clean. Give the first coat a solid five minutes before the second.
