a england ophelia (gothic beauties)

ok, vreme je da prestanem da zaobilazim ovaj lak u mom folderu sa neobjavljenim svočevima i da ga izbacim iz sistema: ovo je ophelia iz a england gothic beauties kolekcije.

ok, i think it's time to stop just over-passing this polish in my unpublished folder and get it over with: this is ophelia from a england gothic beauties collection.

ophelia je trebalo da bude fenomenalna. pogledajte samo promo bočicu! ispostavilo se da je u stvari najveće razočarenje u mojoj kolekciji!

ophelia je trebalo da bude super lep crni lak sa gomilom ljubičastog šimera. na kraju, potrebno vam je da fokusirate snagu 10 000 sunaca da vidite trag tog ljubičastog šimera. on je zakopan doliko duboko da je potrebno čudo da se pojavi. na sreću, uzela sam ga na jednoj blogorasprodaji pa nisam platila punu cenu, zbog čega se osećam malo bolje! inače, formula je dobra i koristim ga kao običan crni lak.

prirodna svetlost:

ophelia was supposed to be awesome, just look at the promo bottle! it turned out to be one of the biggest letdowns from my collection.

ophelia was supposed to be this supper gorgeous black polish with bunch of gorgeous purple shimmer. in the end, you might need to focus the power of 10 000 suns to see a glimpse of purple shimmer. it is buried so deep that it takes a miracle to see it. i got it off a blog sale so didn't pay the full price, which makes me feel better! otherwise, formula is nice and i use it as a basic black polish.

a england queen of scots (elizabeth and mary)

danas pokazujem još jedan a england lak, ovaj put queen of scots, iz elizabeth and mary kolekcije.

today, i am showing yet another a england polish, this time queen of scots from elizabeth and mary collection..

iako su a england lakovi postali skoro pa sinonim za holo lakove, imaju oni i "regularnije" lakove.

queen of scots je kraljevsko plavi lak, ispunjen sitnim holo česticama. ima taj "sjaj iznutra" izgled i ja ga vidim kao plavog rođaka njihovog crvenog laka, percival.

ovaj lak je pravi pravcati jednoslojac, bez ikakve potrebe za drugim slojem. ako vam ovakav lak fali u kolekciji, moja definitivna preporuka!

prirodna svetlost:

even though a england somehow became a synonym for holo polishes, they also have more "regular! polishes.

queen of scots is a royal blue shade, filled with tiny blue shimmer. it has that inner glow look, and i see it as a blue twin of their red polish, percival.

it is a real deal one coater, definitely no need for the second. if you are missing this type of shade, i definitely recommend it!

natural light:

a england percival (the mythicals)

imala sam potrebu da godinu završim crvenim lakom, i koji i izbor bio bolji od percival-a iz a england fantastične the mythicals kolekcije za 2011.

i had the urge to finish the year off with a red polish, and which better than percival from the awesome a england the mythicals collection back in 2011.

percival je vrlo blizak duplikat butter london knees up. u svakom slučaju, fantastična šimerasta metalik crvena, sa onim specijalnim sjajem iznutra.

okačila sam više slika nego obično jer ovaj lak izgleda još bolje u senci nego na suncu. u kombinaciji sa savršenom formulom i četkicom, pravi je pobednik!

prirodna svetlost:

percival is a real close dupe to butter london knees up. nevertheless, a beyond gorgeous shimmery metallic red, with this glow within type of look.

i have more photos than usual, because this polish looks even better in shade than in the sun. and combined with an awesome formula and brush, it's a winner!

a england let me in (to emily bronte)

moji kompjuterski problemi su, bar privremeno, rešeni tako da se vraćam i počinjem sa a england lakom let me in, iz to emily bronte kolekcije.

my laptop problems are (temporarily) over, so i'm back and i will stat with gorgeous a england polish let me in, from the to emily bronte collection.

a england je brend poznat po prelepim suptilnim holo lakovima, i let me in nije izuzetak.

ovo je savršena, duboka magenta sa suptilnim rasejanim holo česticama. vrlo je bogat, sa neverovatnom formulom. definitivno pun pogodak.

prirodna svetlost:

to call a england the queen of rich subtle holos is an understatement, and let me in is no exception.

it is a gorgeous deep magenta with a subtle scattered holo particles. it is so rich, with an effortless formula, a real stunner!

natural light:

a england polovetsian dances (russian soul)

danas vam pokazujem još jednog a england lepotana iz njihove russian soul kolekcije, i ovaj put to je polovetsian dances.

i am showing you another a england beauty from their russian soul collection, and this time is polovetsian dances.

obožavam ovaj lak. obožavam! u pitanju je zacrnjena ljubičasta uz malo i blurple uticaja. na žalost, na mojim slikama je više blurple nego uživo. holo efekat je savršen, kao i u ostatku kolekcije.

formula je, kao i uvek, savršena. potpuno preporučujem ovaj lak!

prirodna svetlost:

i love this polish. love it! it is a blackened purple with a hint of blurple. unfortunately, a bit more blurple in my photos than in real life. the holo effect is just perfect, just as in the rest of the collection.

formula is, as usual, flawless. i highly recommend this polish.

natural light:

a england natasha's dance (russian soul)

još jedan lepotan iz a england russian soul kolekcije je natasha's dance.

another beauty from a england russian soul collection is natasha's dance.

nekako je ispalo da sam pre pola godine ponovo čitala rat i mit, kao što radim na svakih par godina, tako da mi je natašin ples vrlo svež  sećanju.

ne znam da li da opišem ovaj lak kao zacrnjeni plavi ili crni sa jakim plavim tonom, ali je definitivno taman. pod suncem se jasno vidi da nije čisto crn. živahni srebrni holo šimer ga čini dosta zanimljivijim.

prirodna svetlost:

funnily enough, i reread war and peace few months ago, as i do every few years, so i clearly remember the natasha's dance part in the book,

i'm not sure whether i should call it blackened blue or blue-toned black,  but it is a dark one. in direct sunlight it is obvious that it's not a pure black. it has this vibrant holographic shimmer that makes it pop out.

natural light:

a england kalinka (russian soul)

uvek jedva čokam nove a england kolekcije, i potpuno sam se zaljubila  u najnoviju, russian soul. prvi kog pokazujem je kalinka.

i am always excited to see a new a england collection, and i fell in love with the newest one, russian soul. the first one i'm showing is kalinka.

kalinka je prosto predivna. nijansa je srebrnkasto/lila, nekako prefinjena i delikatna. holo efekat nije zaslepljujuć ali je i dalje vrlo, vrlo vidljiv. izvinjavam se za broj slika, ali prosto nisam mogla da odolim.

formula je, kao i uvek, besprekorna i lak je savršen i vrlo nosiv, rekla bih da ide uz sve. izgleda odlično čak i u senci, što možete da vidite na poslednje dve fotografije.
natural light:

kalinka is simply gorgeous, it is a silvery lilac, such a delicate and pretty shade. holo effect is not crazy, but it is still very very visible. i apologize for the amount of pictures, but i just couldn't resist it.

formula is, as always, impeccable and the polish is so awesome and universal, it goes great with everything. it looks awesome in shade as well, as you can see in the last two photos.

natural light:

a england heathcliff (to emily bronte)

današnja zvezda je heathcliff iz a england kolekcije to emily bronte.

the star of the day is heathcliff from a england's to emily bronte collection.

heathcliff je definitivno atipičan lak za a england, što je jasno svima koji su bar malo uppućeni u brend. ipak, po meni kod njih nema greške.

heathcliff je crn, dobro pigmentovan jelly pun raznobojnih šljokica. koliko ja vidim, tu su plave, srebrne, crvene, ljubičaste i zlatne šljokice. zaista lep lak sa poprilično solidnom formulom za šljokičavi lak.

prirodna svetlost:

heathcliff is a bit atypical polish for a england range, if you are even a bit familiar with the brand. nevertheless, they can do no wrong in my book.

heathcliff is a black, well pigmented jelly filled with various microglitter. i can see blue, silver, red , purple and gold glitter. it is a very pretty polish with quite a solid formula for a glittery polish.

natural light:

a england crown of thistles (elisabeth & mary)

vreme je za još jednog a england lepotana, i ovaj put biram crown of thistles iz elisabeth & mary kolekcije.

it's time for another a england beauty, and this time i chose crown of thistles from elisabeth & mary collection.

ne mogu da prestanem da se oduševljavam a england lakovima jer su zaista po mom ukusu. crown of thistles je pelep, svetlo ljubičasti lak sa suptilnim ali vrlo vidljivim holo efektom.

kao i uvek, formula je čisto savršenstvo, i definitivno preporuka s moje strane.

prirodna svetlost:

i just can't stop gushing over a england polishes, because they are always so perfect. crown of thistles is such a pretty bright purple, with a quite subtle but still very vivid holo effect.

as usual, the formula is flawless and definitely a recommendation from me.

natural light:

a england incense burner (rosetti's goddess)

vreme je za još jedan a england lak. ovaj put sam izabrala incense burner iz rosetti's goddess kolekcije.

it's time for another a england, this time i chose incense burner from rosetti's goddess collection.

incense burner me je potpuno neočekivano raspametio. izgleda tako kompleksno i duboko.

nijansa naizgled izgleda kao jednostavna patlidžan/burgundy, ali ima i pomalo duohrom efekat. na krajevima, dobija malo zelene ili zlatne nijanse. tu je i vrlo, vrlo supttilni holo šimer, koji je tu samo da mu da malo efekta ali mislim da nije ni zamišljen da izgleda kao ludi holo lak.

formula je, kao i uvek odlična. zaista sam oduševljena ovim lakom, tako je kompleksan i divan.

prirodna svetlost:

incense burner blew me away quite unexpectedly. it is so complex and deep.

the colour seems like a simple eggplant/burgundy shade, but it has a bit of a duochrome effect in a way. on the edges, it can seem a bit green or gold. it has a really, really subtle holo shimmer, just in order not to look too bland, but i don't think that it being a crazy holo was a point here.

formula is, as usual, spot on. really, i love it. it's quite complex and gorgeous.

natural light:

a england cathy (to emily bronte)

čini mi se da sam zanemarila a england lakove, tako da sam rešila da to promenim uz cathy iz to emily bronte kolekcije.

it's been a while since i wrote about a england polishes, so i'm going for cathy from to emily bronte collection.

ozbiljno sam zaljubljena u cathy. nijansa je tako lepa, tako jedinstvena. cathy je bleda, neobična siva s lila tonom, uz diskretan holo šimer i iridiscentni plavi šimer kao šlag na tortu. konačni utisak je više nego savršen.

formula je malo gušća nego što bi se očekivalo, ali i dalje fina i kremasta.

prirodna svetlost:

i am seriously in love with cathy. the shade is so pretty, so unique. it is a pale, unusual grey with a hint of lillac, combined with subtle holo effect with some iridescent blue shimmer that makes it stand out even more.

formula is slightly thicker than you would expect, but nice and creamy nevertheless.

natural light:

a england whispering waves (heavenly quotes)

prelepi whispeing waves je najnoviji lak u a england heavenly quotes kolekciji.

gorgeous whispering waves is the newest addition to a england heavenly quotes collection.

 whispering waves je neobičan lak u a england porodici. vrlo živahna boja koja zaista odudara od standarnih adininih ideja.

potpuno sam poludela za ovim lakom, a i jasno je zašto. nijansa je svetla, živa tirkizna, sa blagim duohrom efektom i finim holo česticama, onaj a negland stil gde izgleda kao da šimer lebdi na površini nokta.

iako je formula tipično a england savršenstvo, na žalost boji nokte, pa preporučujem dva sloja baze.

prirodna svetlost:

whispering waves is the odd polish in a england family. it is a very vibrant color and it really stands out from adina's usual range.

i am completely in love with it though. and what's not to love! the shade is a bright turquoise, with a slight duochrome effect and a fine holo finish, one of those where it seems like the shimmer is floating on the surface.

while the formula is typically awesome, it is a stainer, so i recommend two layers of base coat.

natural light:

a england spirit of the moors (to emily bronte)

to emily bronte je najnovija a england kolekcija, i započinjem njeno prestavljanje prelepim lakom spirit of the moors.

to emily bronte is the latest a england collection, and i'm starting with the gorgeous spirit of the moors.

 

potpuno sam oduševljena ovim lakom. u pitanju je dobro pigmentovana kobaltno placa sa vrlo sitnim holo česticama. uživo je nešto svetliji nego na mojim slikama, poslednja je najrealnija.

uvek sam zamišljala britanski krajolik nazvan "moor" sumornim (pogotovo u orkanskim visovima od emili bronte), a ovaj lak je potpuno suprotan. formula je fantastična, baš kako nas je a england navikao.

prirodna svetlost;

i am simply in love with this polish. it's a well pigmented cobalt blue, with super fine holo particles. it is a bit brighter than in my photos, more like in the last pic.

i always imagined british moors as gloomy (especially in emily bronte's wuthering heights), and i assure you that this polish is everything but. formula is, as a england has accustomed us to, impeccable.

natural light:

a england virgin queen (elizabeth and mary)

vreme je za još jednoog a england lepotana, ovaj put je to virgin queen iz elizabeth and mary  kolekcije.

it's time for another a england beauty, this time it's virgin queen from elizabeth and mary collection.

virgin queen je jedan od lakova koje mi je skoro nemoguće da opišem. nijansa je u isto vreme i blatjava, i srebrna, zlatna, bronzana, čak i maslinasta.

takođe je istovremeno i blago metalik i duohrom, ali definitivno dominira rasejani holo efekat. formula je, kao i uvek, savršena.

prirodna svetlost:

virgin queen is one of the hardest polishes to describe. the colour is is at the same time taupe, silver, gold, bronze, even olive. pewter is maybe the one that sums it up the best.

at the same time, it is slightly metallic and duochrome, but definitely a scattered holo. formula is, as always, impeccable.

natural light:

a england proserpine (rossetti’s goddess)

proserpine je jedan od mojih najnovijih lakova, i još jedan u listi a england lepotana, ovaj put iz rossetti's goddess kolekcije.

proserpine is one of the newest additions to my collection, and it's another a england masterpiece from rossetti’s goddess collection.

moj strah da će proserpine biti previše sličan drugoj a england lepoti, saint george, na sreću nije bio opravdan. iako su oba duboke, bogate petrolej nijanse, proserpine je dosta plavlji.

stvarno je prelep lak, sa fantastičnim holo efektom i formulom. svakako moja nijansa!

prirodna svetlost;

my fear that proserpine would be too close to another a england beauty, saint george, was luckily not correct. while they are both rich, deep teals, proserpine is much more blue.

it really is a stunning polish, with amazing holo effect and formula. my type of shade for sure!

natural light:

a england beauty never fails (heavenly quotes)

danas prikazujem još jedan a england lak, beauty never fails iz heavenly quotes kolekcije.

today i am showing another a england polish, beauty never fails from the heavenly quotes collection.

nošenje a england lakova za mene je nekako kao specijalna prilika, i sa ovim je bilo isto. uvek sam fan zacrnjene bazne boje (ove, tamno, tamno zelena) ispunjene sitnim bronzano/zlatnim ljuspicama.

formula je, kao i uvek, neverovatna, jedna stvar na koju ovek možete da računate sa a england brendom.

prirodna svetlost:

having an a england polish on always feel like a special treat, and this one is no different. i am always a fan of a blackened base colour (here, it's dark, dark green) filled with fine bronze/gold glass flecks.

formula is as impeccable as always, one thing you can count on with a england brand.

natural light:

a england rose bower (burnes jones dream)

danas prikazujem još jedan a england lak rose bower is burnes jones dream kolekcije.

today i am showing yet another a england polish, rose bower from burnes jones dream collection.

na blogu su već bila tri laka iz ove kolekcije, briar rose,  briarwood i fated prince, i svima je zajednička prelepa, puna boja (u slučaju rose bower, brusnica crvena)i rasejani holo efekat uz prepoznatljivi a england stil koji daje osećaj da lak sija iznutra.

formula je kao i uvek fantastična, i lak je toliko lep da sam bila u čudu da mogu da toliko uživam noseći crveni lak!

prirodna svetlost:

i already showed three polishes from this collection, briar rose,  briarwood and fated prince, and they all have a similar pattern: a gorgeous, deep colour (in the case of rose bower, a cranberry red) with the scattered holo effect that gives the "inner glow effect", that a england produces beautifully.

formula is amazing as usual, and the polish itself is so pretty that i was shocked that i can enjoy a red one so much!

natural light:

a england fotheringhay castle (elizabeth and mary)

elizabeth and mary je među najnovijim a england kolekcijama, što je nešto čemu se uvek radujem. fotheringhay castle mi je odmah zapao za oko, tako da je bilo jasno da ću prvo njega da isprobam.

elizabeth and mary is one of the newest a england collections, which is something i always look forward to. fotheringhay castle was the one that stole my heart from the beginning, so it just had to be the first one i tried.

sve vezano za ovaj lak je savršeno. nijansa je bogata, svetla maslinasta sa tim unutrašnjim sjajem koje a england magično izvodi. holo čestice su rasejane i efekat je zaista prelep.

skoro je i nepotrebno reći, ali formula je savršena i ovaj lak mi je definitivno na listi najomiljenijih.

prirodna svetlost:

everything about this polish is perfect. the hue is a rich, light olive green with this inner light that a english does magically. holo particles are scattered and the effect is just beautiful.

needless to say, the formula is perfection. this polish is definitely on my favourites list!

natural light:

a england lady of the lake (the mythicals)

vreme je za još jednog a england lepotana, ovaj put je to lady of the lake iz fantastične the mythicals kolekcije. iz nje sam već prikazala excalibur revamped i tristam.

it is time for another a england beauty, lady of the lake from the amazing the mythicals collection. i already showed excalibur revamped and tristam from it.

lady of the lake je još jedan pun pogodak is a england arsenala. opisan je kao tamno ljubičasti sa duginim odsjajem.

nijansa ljubičaste je vrlo duboka a holo čestice izrazito sitne, tako da je završnica glatka ali bez linearnog holo efekta. u zatvorenom prostoru holo efekat nije toliko očigledan, ali je boja i dalje prelea. formula je, kao i obično, besprekorna.

prirodna svetlost:

lady of the lake is another jackpot from a england arsenal. it is described as "dusky purple with rainbow glimmer and glow".

the shade of purple is really deep and holo particles really fine, so the finish is smooth but not with the linear holo effect. indoors, the holo effect is not that obvious,  but the shade is beautiful anyway. formula is, once again, flawless.

natural light:

a england princess sabra (the legend)

danas ponovo pokazujem lak koji sam slikala baš baš davno, ali nekako je uvek drugi lak imao prednost da zasija na blogu. konačno je dan za princess sabra, iz fenomenalne a england the legend kolekcije.

today, i am again going with a polish that i swatched ages ago but never got around to posting about it. the polish in question is princess sabra, from a england's fantastic the legend collection.

ovaj lak definitivno nema duplikat u mojoj džinovskoj kolekciji. u pitanju je neobična nijansa, negde između maslinasto zelene i zlatne, sa ne preterano jakim holo efektom.

svakako je jedinstvena nijansa koja verovatno nije po svačijem ukusu ali se meni sviđa. istovremeno je i neobičan i nežan, ne previše zlatan i intenzivan. uz, naravno, prepoznatljivu a england savršenu formulu.

prirodna svetlost:

for this polish, i can definitely say i have nothing like it in my gigantic collection. it is a strange shade, somewhere between olive green and gold, with not to crazy holo effect.

it is definitely a unique shade that i guess doesn't appeal to everyone, but i really like it. it is strange and delicate at the same time, not to gold and flashy. and, of course with the signature a england amazing formula.

natural light:
