china glaze - skyscraper (metro)

čini mi se da sam zapostavila moje china glaze šljokičave lakove, pa sam odlučila da namažem skyscraper iz metro kolekcije za jesen 2011.

i feel like i've been neglecting my china glaze glitters, so i decided to wear skysraper from the metro collection for autumn 2011.

izvor-source

skyscraper je sastavljen iz teksas plave jelly baze sa dosta gustih srebrnih šljokica. pošto je baza ipak jelly, za kraće nokte bi dva sloja bila dovoljna za potpunu pokrivenost, ali sam dodala i treći da bih prikrila liniju nokta.

sve u svemu, sviđa mi se ovaj lak, kao i mnogi drugi cg šljokičavi lakovi. nije deo stalne kolekcije, ali ga nije teško naći.

skysraper consists of a denim blue jelly base packed with dense silver glitter. since the base is jelly, for shorter nails two coats would be enough for perfect opacity, but i had to add a third one because of the vnl.


overall, i love this polish, as many other cg glitters! it's not in the permanent range, but it's not that difficult to find.

ruffian: silver & black holo

prošlo je dosta od kad sam poslednji put imala ruffian, i već dugo imam ovakvu srebrno-crnu kombinaciju u glavi. kada sam videla sličnu kombinaciju na fashion polish blogu, rešila sam da je rekreiram uz zoya trixie i deborah shine tech 18.

it's been a while since i've done a ruffian mani, and i had this silver&black combo in mind for some time, but when i saw something similar on fashion polish blog, i decided to do it in her way, with zoya trixie  and deborah shine tech 18.

56. theme friday: ombre

tema prethodne nedele je bila ombre, i bilo je dosta više nego odličnih kombinacija! ja sam učestovala u zelenom tonu.

od danas do sledećeg četvrtka, tema je golden rose!

last week's theme was ombre, and we had a lot great color combinations. i decided to go green!

from today till next thursday, theme is golden rose!

essence prom-berry (colour & go 148)

prom-berry (color&go 148)  je jedan od novijih lakova u osnovnoj essence kolekciji.


malo je čudno da tek sad predstavljam ovaj lak, jer sam ga kupila još u februaru a ovo će biti poslednji put da ga imam na noktima jer sam već iskapila bočicu!

prom-berry (color&go 148) is one of the newer additions to the essence's core collection.

it is a bit strange that i'm showing the pics just now, since i bought it in back in february, and this is the last time i'll get to wear it, since the bottle is finished!

verovatno je malo čudno da sam nosila ovaj lak toliko puta u poslednjih par meseci, ali ovo je bio moj standardni lak, zajedno sa još nekoliko essence, koje sam nosila sa sobom na putovanja, a i često mi je bio i na  nogama. 

generalno volim ovakve tamno ljubičaste lakove sa šimerom. kod prom-berry, šimer je sitan plavi i crveni koji baš oživi na direktnom suncu, dok u senci i nije toliko izražen. zato mi je i bilo teško da ga uslikam tako da se vidi sva njegova lepota, otud ga i tako kasno predstavljam.

formula je bila ok, ništa problematično, i nemam neke zamerke. ipak, neću ga kupiti ponovo jer imam već nešto slično, nyx purple ink.

it's maybe weird that i wore this polish so many times in a couple of months, but it was, together with a few more essences, my go to polish on work trips, and i also wore it on my toes quite often.


i am a big fan of those dark purple polishes with shimmer. this one has blue and red microshimmer that really comes to life in direct sun, but it's not that visible in shade. because of that, i had hard time photographing it so that all of its beauty is shown, hence the delay in swatching.

formula was ok, nothing problematic and i don't have any complaints. i will not re-buy it since i have something similar, nyx purple ink.

opi - jinx (bond girls collection)

u opi-ju su odličili da cela letnja kolekcija bude posvećena liquid sand lakovima. uzela sam tri, i danas predstavljam jinx.

opi decided to do a summer collection that consists only of liquid sand polishes. i got three, and today i'm showing jinx.

their description: " this mesmerizing matte coral has lucky sparkle. "

kada sam gledala promo slike i svočeve blogerki, jinx je postao moj neočekivani favorit. znam da se ponavljam, ali koralne, breskvaste i slične nijanse mi nikad nisu legle, ali me je jinx nekako omađijao.


naručila sam lakiće kada sam poslednji put bila kući, ali se nešto zakompliovalo i paket nije stigao kad je trebalo i vratila sam se bez njih, a md je morao da se juri sa kurirom danima. baš sam bila nestrpljiva da ih probam, pa sam bila srećna da ih on ipak nije zaboravio da ponese sa sobom :D u međuvremenu sam prvi put videla jinx flašicu u parfimeriji, i ostala u blagom šoku jer je izgledao preintenzivno, prešljašteće, jednostavno previše.

ipak, kad sam ga konačno imala na noktima, to je bila potpuna ljubav. ovaj svetli koralac sa dosta jakim narandžastim tonom je idealan za leto. izgleda fantastično, suši brzo i skida se kao i svaki drugi lak. uhvatila sam sebe da stalno gledam u nokte.

prirodna svetlost:

when i was watching promo pictures, and then swatches from other bloggers, jinx became my surprising favorite. i'm repeating myself, but corals, peaches and similar shades were never my cup of tea, but jinx somehow mesmerised me!

i ordered my bottle on my last trip home, but something went wrong and my package didn't arrive when it was supposed to and i returned without the polishes, with my poor bf trying to pick it up for me. i was really anxious to try them, and was really happy that he didn't forget to pack them :D in the meantime, i saw the bottle of jinx in person, and left in a bit of a shock. it looked too intense, too flashy, too...much.


but then, i finally had it on my nails and it was complete love. this bright orangy coral with golden shimmer practically screams summer! it looks amazing, dries quickly and you can remove it regularly like any other polish. i caught myself often staring at my nails.
