Genius in the Bottle isn't exactly my type of color, but when I saw it in the store I couldn't help myself. Beautiful golden, copper and greenish tones in one bottle. *drool* I had to buy it. A downside is it looks much better in the bottle. Maybe they should have left the genius out of it. Set it free.
Catrice, Genius in the Bottle, 3 coats
Yeah, it needs 3 coats for full opacity, but I know some ladies might settle with 2 layers. The formula of this polish is great. Everything is great, except the brush. What were they thinking? Well, it's manageable but too big and weird shaped. I don't like it. I really don't.
You'll have to be careful with this polish - brush strokes are visible. That's one of the reasons why I didn't take any photos of it in my lightbox. Well, I did take them, but they're not good enough. Besides, these photos of the polish in natural lighting are more realistic.
Now this is a polish I don't mind applying 3 coats of. I'm sure we'll soon be swimming in the sea of Peridot look-alikes, but I dig this one 'cause it's easy to get (for me) and it's cheap. 10mL bottle of this golden/copper/green goodness cost me exactly €2.59. Spending €20 on a bottle of Chanel nail polish? No, thank you. It's JUST a polish.
Thanks for looking and commenting!
This polish is awesome, wow. I hope I will find this one in our drugstores soon...
ReplyDeleteI really had to laugh when I read this: "but when I saw it in the store I couldn't help myself"
:D Haha I know such situations so well.

I have Chanel Peridot, and this looks pretty darn close to me!
ReplyDeleteVidela sem že ogromno swatchev tega laka, ampak tvoj je enostavno najboljši in si me prepričala v nakup!
ReplyDeleteTi, ti Nihrida. Dobro, da je poceni ;)
Loving it! Such a gorgeous shade and I agree it looks even better in the bottle!
ReplyDeleteNice polish :]
ReplyDeleteI really like it! I just finished doing my nails with a dupe to peridot and this one, hidden treasure from Topshop! Considering the crappy brush, your application is flawless!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so pretty, almost like a cats-eye!
ReplyDeleteI like this one! I have a Peridot dupe from a swedish brand that cost me about 3-4 £ :)
ReplyDeleteI love duochromes and this one is so, so lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I bought this polish a couple of days ago! I already own the Sephora one, but "Genius in the bottle" looked so much better to me...I really can't wait to try it on! And your pictures really do him justice :)
ReplyDelete"It's just polish"? Snap! Oh, no, you didn't!
ReplyDelete;)
Za tegale se pa ne morem čisto odločit, a mi je všeč a ne. Bom pa verjetno na koncu itak ugotovila, da mi je, in ga šla kupit :D
ReplyDeleteWe're already in an OCEAN of PéridotS...
ReplyDeleteOh gosh this is awesome! This must be mine!
ReplyDeleteI love this one so much, can't wait to get my hands on it!!! :D
ReplyDeleteby the way I saw that S-he has a similar shade too now :D
It reminds me of Péridot by Chanel.
ReplyDeleteEven if I love duochromes, this shade's not one of those I'm used to wear..
It's gorgeous on you, though!!!!
This looks really good on you!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous polish. I did finally break down and buy the Chanel. It's so beautiful. I think I own one more Chanel. I'd only buy another Chanel if it was something very special. Now I saw on Vampy Varnish that Jessica polish has a dupe for Peridot. I may buy that as a backup.
ReplyDeleteOh, this one is pretty. Reminds me on Peridot definitely!
ReplyDelete<3
That`s gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI really want it...
Hope to find an online store that sells it!
I have this one and love it, I can't stop admiring my nails
