essence - mojito green (soul sista le)

za današnji tematski petak treba da predstavimo naš omiljeni prolećni lak. zvuči čudno, ali od samog početka sam znala da će to biti savršeni mojito green iz essence soul sista kolekcije od prošlog proleća.

today's topic for our theme friday is "favourite spring polish". weirdly, from the start i had only one polish in mind and that's insanely beautiful mojito green, from the essence's soul sista le collection from last spring.

ima nešto u ovom laku što čini da poželim da ga čuvam do večnosti :D on je savršena jako zelena nijansa koja naginje ka mintu, i uživo je za par nijansi zeleniji nego na slikama. ne samo da je nijansa savršena, ali ima i predivan zlatkasti šimer u tačno pravoj količini: dovoljno da se vidi pri svakom osvetljenju ali i ne i toliko da dominira.

iako od početka polušavam da mu nađem dupe, jer se iskreno bojim trenutka kada ću videti dno ovoj bočici, ali ne ide. slični lakovi su ili previše zeleni ili previše mint; ili bez šimera ila sa previše istog (poput depend 227). žao mi je da nisam uspela da uhvatim apsolutno vernu nijansu, jer imam utisak da je baš ta kap ili dve zelene, to što ovaj lak izdvaja od mnogih sličnih. ko zna, možda u budućnosti i nađem neki kojim ću biti zadovoljna.

prirodna svetlost:

there is something about this polish that makes me want to save it for the whole eternity :D. it a gorgeous green-leaning mint, that is a bit greener in real life than in the pictures. apart from the insanely pretty color, it has gorgeous golden shimmer in just the right amount, enough to be visible even in shade but not too overwhelming.


i tried so hard to find a dupe for it, since i'm scared of the moment when the bottle becomes empty, but other polishes are either too minty or too green, or without shimmer or with too much of it (like depend 227). i'm really sad that i couldn't capture the exact shade, because i think that this additional drop of two of green are what makes this polish vibrant and amazing. oh, well, maybe i'll find something that can compare in the future.

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