Hi everyone!
Today I am showing you another shade from the new Catrice #ICONails nail polish range, which is slowly replacing the older Ultimate Nail Lacquer range.
Catrice Milky Bay (n. 15) is a milky white creme, as the name suggests. It’s actually a pure white shade, the milky part refers to its consistency, which is milkish i.e. translucent. Does that make any sense? Because of that feature coverage is poor and you need 3 coats for complete opacity. Drying time is slow, too, so you definitely need a top coat or a spray to help. Application is incredibly easy though, especially considering it’s a white creme, which is usually a hard colour to work with. Shame the 3 coats, if it were a two coater it would make a perfect white base for nail arts or neons.
Photos: three coats + top coat.
Have you already seen the new Catrice ICONails range in store? Any purchase? And what’s your go-to white creme?

DeleteAncora non l'ho mai vista questa nuova collezione di smalti, spero di rimediare al più presto!
Questo colore è bellissimo, anche come base per nail art, peccato che asciuga lentamente e ci vogliono tre passate... comunque mi piace, se lo trovo, lo prendo!
Un bacione!
Io purtroppo faccio sempre più fatica a trovare Catrice :(
non l'ho ancora vista neanche io, questa nuova linea...ma conto comunque prima di "prendere appunti" su cosa merita la pena di essere preso :)
ReplyDeleteInfatti questo bianco non rientra nella lista; non credo abbia le caratteristiche che cerco per una base nè come smalto da mettere "solo" :P
In compenso, sto ancora cercando il bianco sinful colors...temo proprio che sia anche lui da ordinare online perchè qui hanno sempre gli stessi quattro colori in croce -_-
Davvero è così difficile da trovare lo Snow Me White? Io l'ho trovato subito e per ora non mi serve un backup quindi non ci ho mai fatto caso!
DeleteBello e fresco! :-)
ReplyDeleteDavvero!
DeleteIt looks flawless on though, even though it took 3 coats, none of the chalky look that comes with many of the more opaque whites
ReplyDeleteThat's true! I think it's due to the watery formula.
DeleteI have been looking for a good white cream. I need this!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good one, shame for the three coats.
DeleteToo bad about the opacity but if it's translucent, maybe you could do a jelly sandwich with it?
ReplyDeleteI guess it would work for that, but I've never been a fan of jelly sandwiches.
DeleteRight now I'm using Whitewater by pipe dreams and White Undies by Jior Couture.
ReplyDeleteI wished indies were cheaper for us overseas! I'll have to stick to mainstreams.
DeleteIt's so perfect looks wise, too bad it takes so many coats!
ReplyDeleteAww man, it's so frustrating that it's so hard to find a decent white polish!
ReplyDeleteI so agree Marisa!
DeleteI like that white! Neat and clean.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer!
DeleteThis is a nice, smooth white!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI so wish this had been a two-coater. Having to do more than two just ends up frustrating me, especially from a white that I would like to use as an undie.
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly like that Kiersten!
DeleteAhhh... if only it had been opaque in two... but it looks beautiful nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteI wished it had!
DeleteToo bad about coverage and drying time, but the end result is really nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vedrana! The final look is so pretty, but I just can't do 3 coats for a base!
