china glaze fyi (omg)

omg, china glaze kolekcija iz 2009te, je prva kolekcija u koju sam se zaljubila i prva u kojoj sam videla linearni holo lak. tako da sam rešila da počnem godinu sa fyi.

omg, china glaze's collection from 2009, was the first collection i fell in love with, and the first time i saw a linear holo. i am starting off this year with fyi.

kada bih imala priliku, definitivno bih kompletirala ovu kolekciju. jeste da su možda zastareli, i da ima modernijih holosa sa boljom formulom, ali mi je ova kolekcija i dalje nekako posebna.

fyi je najneutralniji lak u ovoj kolekciji. u pitanju je bež nijansa koja može da se utopi u ten, i definitivno nije šljašteći. volim da verujem da mi ide uz ten. kao i kod ostalih omg lakova, ovo je linearni holo sa nešto ređom formulom. kod većine starih holo lakova, bolje je koristiti vodenu bazu.

prirodna svetlost:

if i had an opportunity, i would definitely snatch all of the omg polishes. yes, they might be outdated, yes, there are more modern and better formulated collections, but this one hold a special place in my heart.

fyi is the most neutral polish in the collection. it is beige, tan-like and definitely not to flashy. i like to think it goes well with my skin colour. as all the polishes of omg, it is a linear holo, with a slightly thin formula. as the majority of these old school holos, it works better with an aqua based base coat.

dior gris trianon (cherie bow)

gris trianon je jedini lak koji nije roze u dior-ovoj cherry bow kolekciji za proleće 2012.

gris trianon is the only non-pink polish in dior's cherie bow collection for spring 2012.

obožavam dior-ove sive lakove i izgleda da ne mogu da im odolim. ovaj je doduše više "greige", odnosno, negde između sive i bež, i zaista izgleda lepo na noktima.

formula je besprekorna i zaista ne mogu da mu nađem manu. lakovi ovog tipa su mi uvek izbor kad hoću da se osećam malo ozbiljnijom ;)

prirodna svetlost:

i love dior's grey polishes and it seems like i can't resist them. this one is more of a greige, a combination of grey and beige, and it looks really pretty on nails.

the formula is flawless and there is nothing to complain about. i love wearing polishes like this when i feel like i want to be a bit more serious.

chanel quartz (illusions d'ombres fall 2011)

danas pokazujem moj prvi chanel lak, quartz iz llusions d'ombres kolekcije za jesen 2011.

today i am showing the first chanel polish i bought, quartz from the fall 2011 collection illusions d'ombres.

često se zapitam kako je moguće da mi je ovo prvi chanel, pogotovo kad se uzme u obzir da je quartz izašao uz peridot i graphite.

boja je vrlo interesantna, negde između bež i blatnjave, ali sa dosta raznobojnog šimera. formula je solidna. verovatno je ovo najnosiviji lak iz jeseni 2011 ali sam ja trenutno previše u zeleno/plavom raspoloženju da bi uživala u njemu.

prirodna svetlost:

i often wonder how it got to be that this is my first chanel, especially when you take into account that quartz came out with peridot and graphite.

colour is complex, somewhere between beige and taupe, but really rich in multicolored shimmer. formula is decent. it is the most wearable from fall 2011 trio and a nice shade, but i am currently in a blue and green mood so i will wear it again later in the year.

catrice same seine but different (ultimate nudes 70)

krajnje je vreme da pokažem same seine but different iz stare catrice ultimate nudes kolekcije.

long overdue, the time has come for same seine but different from catrice's old ultimate nudes collection.

u poslednje vreme imam opsesiju nude lakovima. to objašnjava zašto je same seine but different, koji je bio nošen jednom ili dva puta u oko dve godine, bio na mojim noktima bar četiri puta u poslednjih par meseci.

nije jednostavno naći nude lak koji odgovara koži, ali volim da verujem da mi ovaj dobro leži. u pitanju je bež nude nijansa, sa mrvicom šimera koji je gotovo nevidljiv i po meni ima ulogu da učini nanošenje lakšim. svakako radi posao, jer ne mam na šta da se požalim, a bonus je i šo ima staru dobru catrice četkicu.

prirodna svetlost:

i have a nude obsession lately. i guess that this explains how same seine but different came from being worn maybe once, max twice in two years, to being on my nails at least four times in the last two months or so.

it is not an easy task to find a nude that fits the skintone nicely but  i like to believe that i can pull this one off. it is a beige leaning nude, with a practically invisible shimmer that is here probably to make the apllication nicer. it definitely does that job, since i have nothing to complain. it also has the good old catrice brush!

ysl beige gallery (fall and winter 2013)

mislim da je moja opsesija ysl lakovima jasna, i mogla bih da kupim bilo koju njihovu nijansu bez razmišljanja i da se oduševim. beige gallery nije izuzetak.
 

i'm sure i made it clear that i could buy any ysl polish without even looking at it, and still be blown away by it. beige gallery is no exception.

nisam mogla da dočekam da se dokopam ysl tria za jesen/zimu 2013. beige gallery možda nije najjedinstvenija nijansa na svetu, ali je zacementirao moju odluku da se oslanjam na ysl kada su u pitanju kreme, sem ako nemaju ništa slično.

nijansa je malo teža za opisivanje, ali su mi slike prilično verne. nije ni potpuno blatnjav, ni potpuno bež ni potpuno braon, već negde između. meni je prelep, i identičan jednom od omiljenih džempera.

formula je izuzetna, a ysl četkica je moj definitivni favorit.

prirodna svetlost:

i was really anxious about getting the ysl fall-winter trio. beige gallery may not be the most unique shade in the world, but it cemented my decision that any creme polish that i buy will be from them (unless they don't have anything similar).

the colour is a bit difficult to describe, but my photos are really faithful. the shade is not completely taupe, not completely beige and not completely brown, but somewhere inbetween. i find it to be gorgeous, and it matches one of my sweaters perfectly.

formula is flawless, and ysl brush is my favourite.

essence sparkling champagner (cracking base base)

vreme je da predstavim jednog iz grupe mojih najstarijih lakova koji je odavno potrošen, iz prve essence cracking linije, bazna boja sparkling champagner.

it's time to show one of my oldest polishes that's been already emptied a while ago, from essence's first cracking line, a base color sparkling champagner.

ovo je bio period kada sam otkrila da postoje i druge boje sem crne, ali nisam imala pojma šta mi se sviđa inudi. tada sam uzela obe baze i sparkling silver se zadržao na listi mojih nosivih boja, dok stvarno ne znam šta mi je bilo u glavi kad sam uzela sparkling champagner!

ovo je školski primer prljavo bisernog frosty laka. boja stvarno podseća na šampanjac. potezi četkicom su vrlo vidljivi, što se i očekuje kod ovakve završnice.  sem prvog puta i kada sam napravila ove slike, nisam ga nosila samog jer je meni ovo tipična boja za starije godpođe. nosila sam ga uglavnom kako su ga u essence i zamislili, kao bazu za crni crackle,  a kombinaciju sa sunđerom ste mogli da vidite ovde.

prirodna svetlost:

it was that time when i discovered that there are more colors other than black, but had no idea what i liked. i got both bases, and sparkling silver turned out to be in the color area i still wear, but with champagner i had no idea what i was thinking :)


it is a textbook example of a dirty pearly frosty polish. the colour really reminds of champagne. you can see brush strokes a lot, because of the finish. other than first time and when i took those pictures, i never wore it on it's own, since it is, at least for me, a typical older lady polish. i wore it a lot as it was expected, as a base for black crackle, a sponge crackle combo can be seen here.

chanel rose confidentiel (fall 2010)

na prvi pogled, rose confidentiel je potpuno atipična boja za mene. tražila sam nešto slično baš dugo, i fifth avenue od china glaze je bio moj prvi izbor, ali ga nikad nije bilo kad sam ulazila u neki od sun-ova.

rose confidentiel je bio ljubav na prvi pogled, i kad sam spomenula na roze forumu da mi je na listi za kupovinu, fantastična i neverovatna ix me je kontaktirala i rekla da ga ona ima i uopšte ne maže, pa mi ga je poslala! ne mogu ni da opišem koliko sam se oduševila, i koristim i ovu priliku da joj se zahvalim!

at the first look, rose confidentiel is a completely atypical color for me. i've been looking for something similar for a while, with china glaze's fifth avenue as my first pick, but it was always out of stock when i looked for it.

i fell in love with rose confidentiel, and mentioned that it was on my wishlist on one serbian forum for polish addicts, and wonderful & completely amazing ix contacted me and told me she has a bottle she never uses, and she gave it to me! many thanks, once again!

ovaj lak je deo chanel-ove kolekcije za jesen 2010, zajedno sa  rose cache i rouge fatal. rose confidentiel je prelepa nude roze-bež krema sa braon podtonom, ili, kraće rečeno, dusty roze (nekako mi naša reč "prašnjava" odudara, ako neko ima bolji predlog, neka kaže!). iskreno mislim da sam ubola premiju sa ovim lakom, i da mi ide odlično uz ten, barem sad, dok sam bleda. videćemo kako će biti kad dobijem malo boje.
formula je predivna, potpuna pokrivenost u dva sloja a čak mi ni uska četkica nije smetala.

prirodna svetlost:

it was a part of chanel's autumn collection in 2010, together with rose cache and rouge fatal. it is amazing nude rose-beige pink creme with some brown undertones, or, as i like to call it, dusty pink. i honestly think i scored a jackpot with this polish, and i love the way it goes against my skintone, at least in the winter, we'll see how it goes when i actually catch some sun.

formula is amazing, like butter, with complete opacity after two layers. i even didn't mind the narrow brush.

essence nude it! (color&go 40)

praznična sezona i generalno oblačno vreme su mi odličan izgovor da prikažem lak koji sam davno fotografisala (a i potrošila) ali nisu stizali na red za objavu. današnji izbor je essence nude it! iz stare color&go kolekcije.

the holiday season and bad weather are the best excuse to finally show pictures of the polishes that i photographed while back but never got around to write about them. today's choice is essence nude it! from the old color&go collection.

ovo je bio moj prvi pokušaj da nosim nude lakove. jednom sam ga imala na noktima kada sam bila u poseti kući, i mama mi je rekla da izgledam kao mrtvak :) nude it! je bež nude krema, sa odličnom pokrivenošću. formula je bila standardno dobra  kao i sotatak stare kolekcije. meni se sviđa kako mi stoji.

slike su napravljene po oblačnom danu, ali ipak mislim da su verne.

this was my first go in the nude colors category. once i wore it when i was visiting home, and my mother said i looked like a corpse :D it is a beige nude creme, with excellent opacity and coverage. the formula was typically good for this color&go collection. i liked how it looked on me.

the pictures were taken on a cloudy day, but i think it photographed faithfully.

butter london all hail the queen (fall 2010)

ovaj lak se prvi put pojavio kao deo butter london jesenje kolekcije, zajedno sa lakovima bumster, marrow i victoriana, i to pod imenom all hail mcqueen. kasnije su ga iz legalnih razloga preimenovali u all hail the queen i deo je stalne kolekcije.

this polish first appeared as a part of butter london's fall 2010 collection, where it was called all hail mcqueen, but change the name to just all hail the queen later on. the other three polishes were bumster, marrow and victoriana.

ovo je bio prvi BL lak kog sam uzela sa police, i zaljubila sam se istog trenutka. baza laka je bež boje, i puna je finog holo glitera, tako da je njegov holo finiš rasejan. formula je odlična i sa dva sloja dobija se puna pokrivenost.

prirodna svetlost:

this was the first BL polish i picked up from the shelf, and immediately fell in love with it. this is how the color really has a nice beige, sandy tone and it is packed with fine scattered holographic glitter. formula is great, nothing to complain here.

natural light:

koristila sam bazu (opi start to finish) + dva sloja laka + nadlak (essence btgnts).

i used base (opi start to finish) + two layers of polish + top coat (essence btgnts).
