comparison: essence blue addicted vs essence cold breeze (over essie midnight cami)

u mom poslednjem postu, spomenula sam da je moja bočica essence blue addicted potrošena :( od kad sam kupila njihov nadlak cool breeze, imala sam ideju da, uz odgovarajuću baznu boju, može da se dobije sličan efekat. odlučila sam da ga namažem preko essie midnight cami, pa da vidimo rezultat.

in my last post, i mentioned that my bottle of essence blue addicted is finished :( and, ever since i got their cool breeze topper, i had an idea that, with a proper base color, it could make a similar effect. i chose to wear it over essie midnight cami, so let's see what i got.

na svim slikama, blue addicted je na kažiprstu i srednjem prstu, a kombinacija cool breeze + midnight cami na srednjem i malom.

može se primetiti da cool breeze nema sitne svetloplave šljokice, već žute slične veličine. velike šestougaone oplaescentne šljokice su iste u oba laka.


tako da, ova kombinacija nije baš identična sa blue addicted, ali se može reći da liči. naravno, prisutan je i problem očigledne razlike između šljokičavog nadlaka i šljokičavog laka na površini nokta,

prirodna svetlost:

in all the pictures, blue addicted is on the index and ring finger, and the cool breeze + midnight cami combo on the middle and little finger.

as you can see, cool breeze doesn't have the small light blue glitter, but some yellow glitter of similar size. the large hexagonal opalescence ones are the same in both polishes.

so, bottom line, it's not really a dupe to blue addicted, but it kind of looks like it. and, of course, there's always that issue that you can always see, from the surface, if it is a topper or a glittery polish.
