zoya roxy (masquerade)

sećam se kad sam uzela roxy, neki zoya lakovi su bili na rasprodaji i nisam mogla da odolim da ga uzmem, iako nikad nisam videla svočeve. odmah sam ga uveče namazala, i bila sam malo razočarana i nisam shvatila celu famu oko tog laka kada je originalno izašao u "masquerade" kolekciji iz 2006. ali, kada sam ga videla sutradan na prirodnom svetlu, zaljubila sam se.

i remember when i got roxy, it was on sale and i couldn't resist getting it even though i never saw the swatches. i painted my nails in the evening, and i was a bit underwhelmed and didn't quite get the hype it got in the blogging community when it initially came out in the ancient "masquerade" collection. but then, i saw in in natural light and fell in love.

jedna od stvari koja mi se sviđa kod zoya lakova je ta što imaju prilično realne slike bočica i opise na njihovom sajtu. ovo piše za roxy: "proizna ljubičasta baza sa crvenim tonom sa gustim svetlo ljubičastim šljokicama."


baza je prilično pigmentovani ljubičasti sorbet sa magenta šljokicama. definitivno su potrebna tri sloja za potpunu pokrivenost, ali je formula prilično dobra. problem je, što sam ja prilično nestrpljiva kad treba da dodam i treći sloj, što se vidi iz moje ne tako savršene aplikacije. u svakom slučaju, nokti mi izgledaju slatko i sirupasto!

prirodna svetlost:

one thing i like about zoya polishes, is that thay have pretty accurate promo pictures of the bottles and descriptions on their website. this is what they wrote abot roxy: "a sheer red-toned purple base loaded with bright purple glitter. a must-have shade for any rock star or glamour girl."

the base is actually quite pigmented purple jelly with magenta glitter. it needs three coats for complete opacity, but the formula is quite nice. the problem is, i get impatient when i have to add a third layer, which can bee seen in my imperfect application. nevertheless, i find it looks so yummy and syrupy!

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