picture polish sun flower (collaboration with de briz)

vreme je tako oblačno i sumorno da sam morala da objavim jedan veseo lak, a sun flower je svakako takav. nastao je u saradnji picture polish sa ruskom blogerkom de briz.

the weather is so cloudy and gloomy, that i had to pull out a fun one, and sun flower for sure is fun. it was made by picture polish with collaboration with russian blogger de briz.

sun flower je izašao u leto 2016 zajedno da salt water, i zaista su dobar par jer imaju iste holo ljuspice, što je jedan od mojih omiljenih efekata u lakovima za nokte.

nijansa je vrlo zanimljiva žuta, zaista poput suncokreta. formula je više crelly nego krema, i izgleda odlično. znam da ovaj lak neće svakom biti po ukusu, ali po mom svakako jeste!

prirodna svetlost:

sun flower was released in spring together with salt water, and they are really a good couple since they have the same holo flakey particles. these are one of my favourite effects in a nail polish.

the shade itself is a strange shade of yellow, really sunflower-like. the formula is more crelly than creme, and it looks gorgeous. i know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it sure is mine!

dior sailor (transat)

dior uvek ima zanimljivi lak u prolećnoj kolekciji za krstarenja, a sailor je moj favorit iz transat kolekcije iz 2014.

dior always comes out with an interesting "cruise" type of collection, and sailor was my favourite from transat collection in 2014.

sailor je prelep lak. uvek me privuku kobaltno plave nijanse, pa ni njemu nisam odolela. lak je živahan, između kreme i jelly, savršen za leto.

formula je takože pristojna, s dva sloja dovoljna za pokrivenost.

prirodna svetlost:

sailor is such a pretty polish. i have a soft spot for these cobalt blue sort of shades. it is a vibrant crelly, perfect for the summer.

formula is also decent, two coats for the full opacity.

natural light:

ysl rouge dada (core 6)

vreme je za jednu klasičnu nijansu, ysl rouge dada iz osnovne kolekcije.

it's time for another classic shade, ysl rouge dada from the core collection.

boja ovog laka je vrlo čudna. u senci izgleda kako krvavo crvena. dok pod svetlom izgleda skoro ciklamasto. ovo se vidi i na slikama: nokat na malom prstu izgleda dosta tamnije jer je u ovom položaju najudaljeniji od svetla, iako svi nokti izgledaju isto uživo. (nosila sam ovaj lak tri puta, i ovaj efekat se uvek javljao).

formula je dobra, ali pošto je više crelly nego čista krema, potrebna su tri sloja za potpunu pokrivenost.

prirodna svetlost:

this polish's colour is really strange. in the shade it's one of those bloody reds, while it looks almost like a fuchsia in the light. this is also visible in the pictures: the pinky is always furthest from the light in this position, and it looks darker even though all the nails look the same in real life  (had this polish on 3 times already, and always had the same effect on pictures).

formula is really good, but it is more of a crelly than a creme, so it needs three coats for opacity.

natural light:

picture polish sizzle (collaboration with cosmetic sanctuary)

sizzle is yet another picture polish collaboration shade, this time with cosmetic sanctuary.

if there was one thing  to be sure of, is that i would not wear a pink polish. least of all, an almost neon one. but yet, i found myself looking at the swatches of this one so often, completely shocked that i like it so much. so, i decided to cut my out of my misery and finally get it.

i believe i made the right decision! it is bright, really sizzling crelly, with tiny silver holo paricles that gives it even more depth. it is absolutely gorgeous!

ysl rose abstrait (24)

ove slike su nastale pre više meseci, tako da je vreme da ih konačno predstavim, u pitanju je ysl rose abstrait.

these pictures were made a while ago, so it's time to put them out in the open. this pretty thing is ysl's rose abstrait.

ovo je jednostavan lak koji se ne izdvaja preterano, ali kada ga jednom namažete, lako ga je zavoleti. rose abstrait daje noktima prirodan, mlečno roze, sveži izgled.

u poslednje vreme sam u nude raspoloženju, i ovaj je divan!

oblačno vreme:

it is a simple polish, doesn't stand out much from the crowd, but once you have it on, it's easy to love it. it gives the nails natural, rosy, milky look that just makes them look fresh.

i am into nudish shades lately, and this one is just perfect.

ysl rouge pop art

imam osećaj da sam u poslednje vreme kačila uglavnom tamne lakove, i imala sam potrebu da pokažem nešto živahnije. ysl rouge pop art je bio idealan izbor.

it seems that lately i'm publishing only dark polishes, and i felt like i need something more lively. what better choice than ysl rouge pop art.

nisam neki kolekcionar crvenih lakova, ali povremeno osetim potrebu da nosim crveno na noktima. rouge pop art uvek uspeva da me oraspoloži. po meni je to crvena sa idealnim balansom plavih i narandžastih podtonova.

formula je skoro pa crelly (i krema i jelly). iako je dobra pokrivenost, ako imate duže i pogmentovane vrhove noktiju, oni će biti vidljivi. meni to ipak ne smeta, čak mi nekako izgleda još simpatičnije i svežije. formula je uobičajeno dobra.

prirodna svetlost:

i am not a red nail polish hoarder, but from time to time i get the urge to wear red on my nails. and rouge pop art always manages to cheer me up. i believe that it is a red with a perfect balance of orange and blue undertones.

it is a borderline crelly. although the coverage is good, if you have longer and more pigmented nails, the tips will be visible. i don't mind it  though, for some reason it feels even more cute and fresh. it s well formulated, as usual.

essence chilled orange (soul sista)

chilled orange je deo moje omiljene essence kolekcije, soul sista, još iz proleća 2012.

chilled orange was a part of my favourite essence limited edition collection, soul sista, back in the spring of 2012.

mislim da mi je ova kolekcija toliko draga zato što je izgledala baš sveže (mojito green mi je i dalje jedan od omiljenih lakova). i chilled orange je baš takav, živ i topao.

volim ove narandžasto/žute crelly lakove koje volim da zovem mango nijansama. jedini razlog što ga tek sad pokazujem je taj što takvi lakovi obično imaju nezgodnu formulu. u stvari, ovo je jedini razlog za ovoliku zadršku, svaki put kad sam ga nosila, nadala sam se da ću ga sledeči put bolje namazati. tri sloja su zaista neophodana da bi se sve lepo izjednačilo, ali je krajnji rezultat divan.

prirodna svetlost:

i really loved soul sista collection (mojito green is one of my fav shades) because it looked really fresh. chilled orange is just like that, warm and lively.

i like this orange/yellow crelly polishes that i like to call mango shades. the only reason i am showing it right now is because they are usually the ones with a complicated formula. actually, this is the only reason i am showing it with such a delay, every time i've worn it, i hoped that i'll apply it better next time. three coats are really necessary in order to even it out. nevertheless, the end result looks good.

nyx mermaid green (core)

baš je dugo vremena prošlo od kad sam prikazala svoj prvi nyx lak (sea of cortez) od tri koja sam uzela u holandiji pre godinu dana, tako da je vreme za mermaid green.

it's been ages since i swatched first (sea of cortez) out of three nyx polishes that i got in the netherlands a year ago, so it's finally time for mermaid green.

pošto ne mogu da nađem nikakvu informaciju u kolekciji, verovatno je deo stalne postavke.

dok mi je boja zaista prelepa, i mislim da joj mermaid green ime odlično pristaje jer je skoro podjednako plava koliko i zelena, formula je baš loša. prilično je redak i ostavlja dosta ćelavih mesta, tako da mora da se maže u tri sloja, pa čak i tad ponekad da izgleda vodenasto. ipak sam ga dosta nosila, ali prvenstveno na nogama.

prirodna svetlost:

since i can't get any other info, i have to guess it is in the core collection.

while i really like the colour, and i think the name mermaid green fits it perfectly, since it is almost as much as green as it is blue, i really dislike the formula. it is thin and leaves a lot of bald spots, so it has to go with three coats, and even then can sometimes look watery. i did wear it quite a few times, but mainly on my toes.

catrice on the bright side of life (neonaturals le)

lak koji predstavljam danas, on the bright side of life iz catrice kolekcije  neonaturals, definitivno ne ide na moju listu omiljenih.

the polish i'm presenting today,  on the bright side of life from catrice's neonaturals limited edition, is definitely not going to my favourite list .

moram da priznam da, iako mi je catrice omiljeni drugstore lak, njihove specijalne kolekcije me skoro nikad ne oduševe. iz nekog razloga, kad sam ugledala on the bright side of life na skoro rasprodatom stalku, shvatila sam to kao znak, jer sam tada još uvek bila u potrazi za omiljenim ljubičastim lakom.

možda je razlog zašto me je ovaj lak razočarao taj što sam previše očekivala. ovo je patlidžan ljubičasta krema koja vuče ka žele završnici, tzv. crelly.  baš sam se namučila da ga lepo namažem, ali pokušavam da se ubedim da se prosto ne slaže sa mojom bazom, jer drugi sloj sasvim lepo ide preko prvog. ipak, iz nekog razloga me ovaj lak izluđuje. već sam mu dala dve šanse, i iako nisam preterano zadovoljna slikama jer je dan bio očajan, kačim ih jer ne planiram da ga nosim i treći put.


da napomenem da povlačenje s vrhova nije krivica laka. ceo radni dan sam provela u pokušajima da popravim neku mašinu, i odvrtala šrafove malo šrafcigerom, malo noktima :D

prirodna svetlost:

i have to admit, even though catrice is my favourite drugstore brand, their limited editions somehow never amaze me. for some reason, when i saw on the bright side of life on the almost sold out rack, i saw it as a sign, since at that time i was still on my perfect purple quest.


maybe that's why this polish disappointed me, i expected too much. the color is eggplant purple, with formula being creme leaning on jelly. it was a disaster to apply,  which i thought that was the polish's fault, but now i'm leaning to the idea that it simply doesn't agree with my base, since the second coat goes quite nicely over the second. but, for some reason, i don't like this polish, and i gave it two chances and even though i'm not too happy with the pictures because the day was depressing, i don't plan to wear it for the third time.

the tip wear is not the polishes fault, though, i spent the entire work day trying to fix a machine and doing the screwing both with screwdriver and the nails :D
