Review: Essence Studio nails FIXING SYSTEM

Welcome back!
Today I have, as promised, review about studio nails FIXING SYSTEM for you!
First, you must remove all products from your nails. I took 100% acetone to remove nail polish and all natural oils from my nails. Here are my bare nails. I also filled surface of my nails and pushed back my cuticles.

Than I applied STEP 1- nail-strengthening undercoat with visible nylon fibres to leave a strengthening, nylon net on your nails. Nylon fibres are very visible, but don't worry, nails poish will cover them copletly. This step protects nails while they grow and it's for healthy nail growth.
After step 1 is completely dry, than I applied STEP 2- protective sealing polish over the nylon fibre polish from step 1 to give my nails a natural finish. The polish can also be used on its own, without the strengthening polish in step 1.
And here is final result, after both steps. Some nylon fibers are still visible trough, but don't worry, nails polish has covered them. My nails are harder after using this system (they are hard naturaly, but I have a filing they are a bit more harder). I will be using this two steps insted of my base coat for a month and i'll let you know if I'll have any breaks or splits.... Hope not!
I give this system 5 out of 5 and I definitely recommend it!

NEW Catrice King of greens

I have anouther gorgeous polish for you today, ofcourse, from Catrice's new line of polishes, called King of greens. No hard math, it's green :-) 
But it's so much more than just plain green color. This one has a bright green shine in in and it just glows on your nails! It kind of has shimmer finish. It has good coveredge, but I applied two coats, as you see on pictures.
As I said before, I love the new brush they came up with, because it's perfect for three strokes application and it's just slightly curved, so you can get very close to cuticles, without making a big mess all over your skin.
Like it?

Catrice NEW Fred said red

I have another beuatifull new color from Catrice to present to you. These days I'm rocking out this amazing color- Fred said red! First of all, I would said it's red with orange undertone, so on direct sunlight it's very very bright red or even orange color. Quite interesting! It has cream finish and it needs two coats to be bold as you see it. It's super easy to aplly, because the brush is easy to control and it does not leave any marks or stripes behind. Definitely recommend this one!

Catrice NEW Heavy Metallilac

As I promised, I'm showing this polish from Catrice's new line first. Well, I had it wrong. It's not duochrome, it just have slightly orange undertone. Never the less, it's gorgeous!
And very opaque too! This is just one coat you see on this pictures. I can't remember the last polish I wore that was so bold in one coating. Well, this one definitely is! 

I also love the brush. New shape is very good for apllying polish around cuticle area, because is slightly rounded, so you get nice curve around bottom of your nails. So, the shape is not so boxy as it is with strait cut brush.
If you are looking for interesting shade of purple, I definitely recommend this one!

BIG Essence and Catrice haul

 Today i have very exciting items to present to you. Some of them are going out of both, Essence's and Catrice's line and I had to stock up, but most of them are coming in, so they are brand new!!!
First, let's start with my favorite cosmetic products- nail polishes! Here are six brand new polishes- 5 in regular line and one from LE NYMPHELIA.
First one new is BROWNO MARS- bronzy brown color with shimmer finish. Next to it is BE POOL from limited edition NYMPHELIA- dark green with blue undertone and I think it also has a shimmer finish.
 Here on the left i my favorite polish from the bunch- KING OF GREENS- green with light green shine in it, with shimmer finish. Next to it it's HEAVY METALLILAC- lilac color and this one is a bit tricky to describe. I would say it has a duochrome finish. But I'll be sure, when I swatch it. Would you like to see it?
 These two colors are also very amazing. On the left FRED SAID RED- not red at all, but it's true orange color with cream finish. Great for incoming spring and summer. And also this one is ACidDC- greeny yellow color. It reminds me so much on OPI Who the Shreck are you! This one has a light green shine in it.
Here is newly shaped brush. It's flat from two sides and very wide. The tip is slightly curved, so placement  goes well near cuticle area. It's perfect for three strokes application. 
Here are polishes from Essence- new incoming polish nude glam polish in ICED STRAWBERRY CREAM, outgoing BE OPTIMISTIC! that I just had to get and also outgoing glitter topper from nail art twins- EDWARD, that I couldn't missed.
This polish is one of many incoming new tipe polishes 3 in 1. You can choose either of two or layer them over each other and get third color. Because I'm not pink person, this one will go up to swap, but I think concept is amazing!
 Here is new brush from Catrice- smokey eyes brush with two different brushes- one for smokey effect and other for eyeliner or filing in eyebrows.
From Essence in the middle is incoming two sided eyeliner with thin and thick tip for doing line on upper eyelid.
And Essence outgoing eyebrow pencil that I had to stock up!
Here you can see the difference between thin and thicker tips od 2 in 1 eyeliner pen.
 Here are 4 outgoing mono eyeshadows from Catrice that I just had to get, before they are discontinued. 

 And here are two incoming eyeshadows from Catrice. These two are acctualy from their Trend edition Nymphelia, but I think they are available also in their regular INTENSIV'EYE line.
 And one new incoming mono eyeshadow from Essence. Toupish purple color with matt finish.
 Again from Nymphelia- marbled baked powder brush with three different shades- red, orange and nude, for glowy cheeks :-)
 One new incoming lipstick from Catrice GET THE NUDES PAPER! I thought it would be more nude, since I'm not  a big lipstick person, but I'll try to rock it anyways :-)
 New incoming mascara from Essence- GET BIG LASHES- VOLUME BOOST! Love the brush. Let me try it and you'll see detailed review on this one...
... and also on this one- new incoming mascara from Catrice- XXL VOLUME- THE GIANT EXTREME VOLUME MASCARA. Also very big brush, interesting shape to cover all lashes, from way inner corner to all the way to outer corner.
 Well, that's it :-) Which products would you like to see in detail?
