essence one kiwi a day (fruity limited edition)

essence i catrice kolekcije kod mene nestaju vrlo brzo. ako se ne pojavim u parfimeriji u istom danu kad ih izbace, mala je šansa da ću ih uopšte naći. ali, činilo mi se da je fruity kolekcije iz prošlog proleća bilo svuda, i moglo se naleteti na neki od lakova i nekoliko nedelja nakon što su se pojavili. lakovi su mi izgledali baš simpatično sa ovim čudnim šljokicama, ali pošto nisu moje boje, dugo sam se suzdržavala od kupovine, ali na kraju sam ipak posustala pred one kiwi a day.

essence and catrice limited editions can be a bit tough to buy where i live, since they seem to sell out in the same day they arrive. but, essence fruity le from last spring seemed to be everywhere, and although i liked the polishes, especially those with glitter in it, the colors were not the ones i usually wear and one kiwi a day was the only one that i considered buying. weeks went by, and i seem to find one kiwi a day everywhere, and in the end decided to get it.

one kiwi a day je pastelna limun zelena sa tamnijim zelenim okruglim šljokicama i šimerom, i vrlo je jasna asocijacija na kivi! formula je prilično dobra, ali su potrebna dva deblja sloja za potpunu pokrivenost.

na žalost, kao što sam od početka i sumnjala, nijansa zelene je za par nijansi svetija od one koja bi izgledala dobro uz moj ten. ove slike su napravljene sredinom septembra, ka sam se vratila sa mora i još uvek bila prilično tamna tako da i izgleda ok. sada, kad sam ponovo prilično bleda, stoji mi baš loše (što je nešto što vrlo retko pomislim :D), tako da, iako je lakić divan, dobio je novu kuću (meri, tebi u svakom slučaju mnogo bolje stoji :D)


prirodna svetlost:

one kiwi a day is a pastel lime green with darker green glitter and shimmer, and i can see why the inspiration was kiwi.  the formula and application were great, but two thicker coats were needed for full coverage.

unfortunately, as i expected from the beginning, it needed to be a few shades darker to match my skin tone. these photos were taken somewhere in september, when i returned from my summer vacation and my tan was still dark, so here it doesn't look that bad on me. now, when i'm back being my pale self, i'm not happy with the way it looks on me (which is something i doesn't say often :D), so this baby got a new home (marryj, polish looks much better on you!)

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