opi baby please come home (mariah carey holiday)

imam osećaj da sam zapostavila teksturce, pa sam odlučila da danas pokažem baby please come home iz opi mariah carey holiday kolekcije za 2013.

 i've kind of neglected texture polishes, so today i'm showing baby please come home from opi's mariah carey holiday collection for 2013.

pre nego što krenem da pričam o laku, moram da napomenem da nisam čula za neki sa depresivnijim imenom. ne znam marajinu pesmu koja je bila inspiracija, ali sigurno nije nešto veselo.

ipak, vidim zašto je ovaj lak deo praznične kolekcije, ili uopšte, zimske. jasno ga vidim uz velike, vunene džempere dok se pijucka čaj. nijansa je nežna lavanda sa istobojnim šljokicama. u pitanju je teksturac, ali sa metalnim izgledom, rešila sam da stavim nadlak na domali prst, iako smatram da teksturci treba da se nose kako je i namenjeo.

prirodna svetlost:

before i mention anything about the polish itself, i have to state that i've never heard of one with a more depressing name. don't know mariah's song that inspired it, but it has to be soooo not fun.

anyway, i can see how this polish is meant for holiday season, or more generally, winter. i can see it perfectly matched with big sweaters while sipping tea. it is a beautiful, soft lavender shade with glitter in matching colour. it is a textured polish, but with a metallic look. i decided to put top coat on the ring finger, even though i strongly believe that textures should be worn as that.

picture polish unicorn (collaboration shade by brit nails)

jedan od mojih najnovijih lakova je još jedna picture polish kolaboracija, unicorn.

one of my latest purchases is another picture polish collaboration shade, unicorn.

ovaj lepotan je napravljen u saradnji sa blogom brit nails, i stvarno je interesantan lak. bazna boja je nežna, plavkasto tirkizna obogaćena roze i srebrnim šljokicama.

pošto su šljokice krupne, suši se blago hrapavo, ali nije grudvast i to mu čak daje neku simpatičnu notu. prvi sloj nije preterano pigmentovan, ali je pokrivenost potpuno sređena drugim.

prirodna svetlost:

this shade is made in collaboration with the blog brit nails. it is a really interesting polish, the base colour is a soft, blue leaning turquoise, enriched with pink and silver glitter.

there is a slight bumpiness because of the chunky glitter, but it is not overwhelming and it is actually interesting. the first layer is a bit sheer, but it builds up nicely with the second.

dior purple mix (rock your nails)

dior rock your nails kolekcija iz 2011 je bila imala dosta pogodaka, a jedan od nje je i purple mix.

dior's rock your nails collection from 2011 was full of hits, and one of them is definitely purple mix.

ovo je jedan iz moje kolekcije zvane "lakovi za ozbiljne prilike". u pitanju je prelepa, zadimljena ali ipak topla ljubičasta. formula je beskprekorna.

prirodna svetlost:

this is one of the shades in my "serious polishes" range. it is a pretty, smoky but warm purple.the formula is flawless.

nyx purple ink (core)

danas pokazujem treći i poslednji nyx lak koji posedujem, purple ink.

today, i am showing the last out of the three nyx polishes that i own, purple ink.

iako ovaj lak izgleda odlično na noktima, mazati ga je potpuna noćna mora. treba mu bar tri sloja da bi se pokrila brojna ćelava mesta, a formula je istovremeno retka i gusta, i definitivno ne ide uz tanku četkicu.

u svakom slučaju, na kraju izgleda dobro. jer, kako tamno ljubičasti lak sa dovoljno divnog šimera može da stoji loše. ipak, ne verujem da ću više uzimati nyx lakove.

prirodna svetlost:

while this polish look gorgeous on the nail, it is a complete nightmare formula-wise. it takes at least three coats to eliminate bald patches, the formula is both runny and thick which definitely doesn't work with the thin brush.

anyway, in the end it looks good. i mean, what is not to like in a pretty dark violet with a lot of shimmer. just, i think i will not buy anymore nyx polishes.

a england ascalon (the legend)

danas pokazujem još jedan dijamant iz fenomenalne a england the legend kolekcije, i lak dana je ascalon.

i am showing you another gem from the a england's perfect the legend collection, and the polish of the day is ascalon.

moram da priznam da nisam bila potpuno svesna koliko je fantastičan ovaj lak dok mi nije bio na noktima. kao da nije bilo dovoljno napraviti fantastičan tamno sivi holo lak, pa mu je dodat i lavandast duohrom efekat. prelivanje boja je suptilno i nekako prirodno.

obožavam a england formulu i ovaj lak spada u grupu savršenih.

prirodna svetlost:

i have to admit i wasn't completely aware how awesome this polish is before i had it on my nails. like being a gorgeous grey holo polish wasn't enough, they added a lavander duochrome effect in the mix. the colour shift is subtle but really beautiful and somehow natural.

i am a superfan of a england's formula, and this one is no different.

ysl bleu galuchat (fall 2014)

mislim da ysl duo za ovu jesen nije dobio dovoljno pažnje koju mislim da zaslužuje, moguće zbog toga što je pomama za teksturnom završnicom u opadanju. ipak, bleu galuchat je stvarno poseban lak.

i think that ysl duo for this fall didn't get as much attention as i think it deserves, maybe because the texture finish craze is at a decline, but i am seriously in love with bleu galuchat.

iako je teksturac, efekat u bleu galuchat je ipak dosta suptilniji, i daje mu nekako izgled kože. bazna boja je skoro pa teget, uz vrlo malo petrolej šimera koji je vidljiviji u bočici.

lak se do teksturnog finiša suši prilično brzo, i krajnji rezultat je prelep. iako poseduje klasičnu eleganciju kao taman lak, tekstura mu daje jedinstvenost koja ipak nije previše ekstravagantna.

prirodna svetlost:

even though that bleu galuchat is textured, it is a much subtler finish, giving a completely leathery look. the base colour is almost navy blue, and there is some barely visible teal shimmer.

it dries to this texture pretty quickly, and the end result is really beautiful. while it has the quality of having that classical edge of darker polishes, the texture gives it uniqueness that is still not too extravagant.

picture polish jealousy (mesh)

verujem da moja ljubav prema zelembaćima nije tajna, tako da mi je jealousy iz picture polish kolekcije mesh bio logičan izbor.

my love for the greens is no secret, so i had to have jealousy from picture polish mesh collection.

obigravala sam oko jealousy mesecima, pokušavajući da se ubedim da mi ne treba, ali bi stvarno bila šteta da nije deo moje kolekcije.

u pitanju je živahna, trava zelena šljokičava nijansa. iako su čiste šljokice, savršeno je gust i nema straha od ćelavih mesta. suši se prilično glatko, iako izgleda grubo i po meni je jedan sloj nadlaka dovoljan. naravno da sam morala i da ga matiram!

prirodna svetlost:

i was circling around jealousy for such a long time, trying to convince myself that i don't need it, but it would be a pity if i missed it.

it is a vivid, grass green  glittery shade. even though it's pure glitter, it is perfectly dense so there is no fer of lousy coverage. it dries smoothly, but looks a bit gritty. for me, one layer of top coat was enough. of course, i had to mattify it.

opi green on the runway (coca cola)

green on the runway je moj jedini izbor iz ovogodišnje opi coca cola kolekcije.

green on the runway is my only pick from this year's opi's coca cola collection.

zaljubila sam se u ovaj lak posle prve objavljene slike. trebalo bi da predstavlja sprite, ali ja baš ne vidim neku povezanost. da, limenka je zelena, ali potpuno drugačija zelena. ali, dobro.

ovaj duohrom je više nego očaravajuć. maslinasto zelena je dominantna boja, ali se pod malo ekstremnijim uglovima pretvara u neku vrstu bakarne. aplikacija je solidna, gotovo da nema vidljivih poteza četkice. za mene je pravi lepotan.

prirodna svetlost:

the second i saw the first picture of this polish, i knew i'm in love. it is supposed to represent sprite, but i honestly can't see the inspiration. yup, the can is green, but a completely different sort of green.

this duochrome is beyond stunning. it is mainly olive green, but at more extreme angles it shifts to coppery kind of colour. application is nice, almost no brush strokes. it is a beauty.
