essence glamorous life (colour&go 91)

kupila sam essence 91 glamorous life iako nije moja standardna boja pošto mi je izgledao primamljivo na polici. prvi put kad sam ga namazala, izgledao mi je čudno na noktima pa sam ga skinula a da nije izdržao ni jedan dan. razlog za to je što je tad bio početak proleća i moj ten je i dalje bio vampirski beo. sada kad sam uhvatila nešto sunca, izgleda mnogo bolje!

i bought  essence 91 glamorous life even though it's not my usual color because it looked so yummy in the bottle. but, the first time i had it on, it looked weird on me so i took it off after less than one day. the reason why i was so unhappy with it is probably because i bought it in the beginning of spring, when i was still so horribly pale. now that i have some color on me, i like it much more!

boju nije lako opisati. recimo da je to hladna malinasto crvena jelly osnova sa roze staklastim šimerom koji na noktima izgleda srebrnkasto. komplikovano, zar ne, ali predivno! formula je nešto ređa, što se i očekuje od želea, ali se nanosi lako (ja sam generalno zadovoljna essence formulom). šljokice su baš sitne, tako da ne ostavljaju grubu teksturu na noktima i oni su glatki i bez nadlaka. takođe, lak je visokog sjaja pa nadlak nije neophodan ali ja ne mogu da se zamislim bez BTGNTS. čak mi se i sviđa što je malo prozirniji, jer se šimer nazire kroz sve slojeve laka, i nije koncentrisan samo na gornjem sloju.
prirodna svetlost:

the polish itself is not so easily described. it is a cooled raspberry red jelly base with pink glass flecks that look silvery on nails. complicated, right? but gorgeous! formula is a bit on the thin side, which is expected for jellies, but the application is easy, as it usually is with essence polishes. the glass flecked glitter is quite fine, so it doesn't leave textured feel even without top coat. also, it is quite shiny on its own,  but i can't imagine not wearing top coat. i actually like that it's sheer, because the glass fleck somehow "jump out"  through all the coats.

natural light:

 

koristila sam bazu (opi start to finish) + dva debljasloja laka + top coat (essence better than gel nails top sealer BTGNTS).

i used base (opi start to finish) + two thicker layers of polish + top coat (essence better than gel nails top sealer BTGNTS)

EDIT

ovaj post je napravljen pre možda mesec dana, ali nikako nije stizao na red. u međuvremenu, juče sam poslednji put namazala ovaj lak, koji je tako, potpuno neočekivano, postao moj najnošeniji lak ovog leta. šteta što sam ga potrošila, jer zbog nove essence kolekcije, ovaj više ne može da se nađe. slikala sam ga, i stajao mi je najbolje do sad zbog skroz pocrnelih noktiju :D ali tek kad sam prebacila slike na komp, videla sam da su ispale očajno zrnaste jer se moj dragi igrao sa podešavanjima na moru a ja ih nisam vratila na staro :(

i made this post about a month ago, but somehow i always gave priority to other swatches. in the meantime, i had it on my nails yesterday for the last time, since i managed to empty the bottle, and with the new essence collection and all, it is discontinued. it turns out that, completely unexpectedly, i wore this polish more than any other this summer! i took some pictures yesterday, because my nails looked amazing, since i still have my summer tan  :D but, only when i transferred the pictures to my laptop, i saw that they look awfully grainy, because i forgot that my boyfriend played with the settings while we were on holiday, and i forgot to readjust them :(
