essence break through (color&go 132) + halfmoon grumpy breakthrough

odkad sam potrošila  essence gabriella, bila sam u potrazi za lakom koji bi mogao da je zameni. nije mi jasno kako nisam primećivala njihov lak iz nove color&go kolekcije, break through.

ever since i used up essence gabriella, i was on a quest to find this type of purple. i have no idea how i missed their new polish, break through (color&go 132)!

moje mišljenje je da je break through u stvari gabriella, bez onog skrivenog plavog šimera. u suštini, prelepa  ljubičasta krema sa crvenim podtonom. pošto sam, dosta nosila gabrella-u, rekla bih da će i ova bočica biti prazna do kraja leta!

nemam zamerke na formulu i pokrivenost, tako da sam verovatno konačno naučila da radim sa novom essence bočicom (nova četkica mi se od početka sviđala, ali mi je bočica bila problematična.)

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

prirodna svetlost na tmurnom danu:

in my opinion, break through is gabriella, but without it's hidden blue shimmer. so, basically, beautiful red toned purple creme. i really wore gabriella a lot, so i guess this bottle will be empty too by the end of the summer!

i have no complaints on formula and opacity, maybe i finally learned how to work with the new essence bottles (i liked the new brush from the beginning, but i found the bottle problematic).

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

natural light on a cloudy day:

juče sam malo začinila kombinaciju sa  jednim slojem essence grumpy, za današnji ruffina/polumesec tematski petak. iako sam super zadovoljna kombinacijom boja, koristila sam essence trakice koje su preširoke za moj nokat pa mi polumeseci nisu lepo ispali :(

ali, malopre sam kod naše sekretarice potpisivala neke papire, i prokomentarisala je da joj se sviđaju moji nokti, a ljudi ih retko komentarišu. verujem da je to zbog moje nove gabrielle!

then i spiced things up with one coat of essence grumpy, for today's ruffian/halfmoon theme. while i'm happy with the colour combo, i used essence stripes for french that are to wide for my nails, so my halfmoons are not halfmoony :(

but, i just came from signing some paperwork and our secretary commented on my nails, and people rarely comment on my nails. i like to believe that's the power of my gabriella look-a-like!
