opi the "it" color (mod about brights)

i am obsessed with yellow polishes. i don't care what the undertone is, or if it looks good with my complexion, i just love seeing a good yellow. and opi's (ancient) the "it" colour from mod about brights collection back in 2008 is just perfect.

the "it" colour is a very interesting yellow shade. it is not quite mustard, but not your typical yellow. formula is quite decent and has minimal streaking.

ysl blanc arty (street art)

while ysl is still my favourite nail polish brand, i have to sadly admit that my dream of having all of their polishes is disappearing: i missed on vandal orange, for example, from spring 2017 collection street art. but, i did snatch blanc arty.

i do love a good white nail polish, and blanc arty definitely falls in this category. although they tend to have unfriendly consistency, are prone to streaking and difficult to apply, they still look awesome on the nails. blanc arty is one of the best, if not the best, formula-wise.

dance legend melange 276

dance legend melange 276 appeared when i was out of pure black creme polish for a while. i decided to choose something from dance legend, since i was always happy with their brush and formula.

i ended getting number 276 from their melange collection, not completely black but one of those off blacks that takes an expert eyes to see that it's actually not. as usual, formula is flawless and it's a perfect choice for layering.

chanel provocation (fashion night out 2012)

chanel's provocation originally appeared in their fashion night out collection for 2012 (with infidele, the one that got away for me), but it was  brought back as a part of the permanent line.

it is a gorgeous, gorgeous plum shade. of course, the colour is a bit more complex than that, it has some brown undertones and dries a bit darker than in the bottle.

the first coat is a bit sheer but it builds up nicely with the second one. it a classy but not boring sort of polish.

collistar grafite lacca (carisma)

collistar's grafite lacca, from their carisma collection for autumn 2011, is one of my favourite polishes ever. i got it as a present and simply love it!

this is the only collistar polish i own, and the one my friends used to borrow a bit too often. it has a brush similar to opi's, so it works awesome for me. the shade is the most perfect muddy of all times, just the right mixture of beige, taupe, grey with a dash of blue. 

formula is awesome, because everything abut this polish is awesome. i think i will never ever get to it's last drop (and i am approaching that stage) but i will continue preserving it and looking at it for the whole eternity.

picture polish sky (light shades)

one of my rare 2017 purchases (for now) is actually an ancient picture polish shade, sky, from their light shades collection in 2007.

it is a really special light blue pastel, really resembles the sky but in its a bit murkier mood. the formula is nice, especially for an old pastel, but it needs three coats. nevertheless, they run smoothly so i don't see it as a bother.

ysl fur green (scandal)

i am finally showing one more recent ysl polish, fur green from this autumn's scandal collection. the other polish from this collection is vintage plum.

fur green is a truly gorgeous shade of green. one of these forest, muted green shades. although it's moodiness really is perfect for autumn, i can see myself wearing all the time because it works perfectly well with my wardrobe.

formula of these creme is amazing, as usual, and matched with (for me) perfect ysl brush, there is nothing to complain about.

chanel blue rebel (les jeans)

it's been ages since i swatched two out of three chanel polishes from ancient but awesome les jeans collection back in 2011, and it's time i showed blue rebel as well. other two polishes were equally awesome coco blue and blue boy.

this collection was supposed to be jeans inspired, and this polish emulates your basic dark, slightly washed out pair beautifully. it is the darkest blue out of the trio, but still too light to be called navy. more like a deep denim shade. it is awesome, well pigmented and with good formula.

i am sure that by now there are plenty of dupes out there, but i am simply happy i have this one.

dance legend melange 278 (melange)

ove nedelje nastavljam sa još jednom zelenom nijansom, 278 iz dance legend melange kolekcije.

this week i continue with another green polish, 278 from dance legend's melange collection.

bila sam u potrazi za savršenom maslinastom kremom, i pošto sam veliki obižavatelj dance legend formule i četkice, izabrala sam 278 iz kolekcije melange.

ovo je bogata, maslinasto/kamuflažna zelena, nijansa kakve mi je pun ormar a volim i da je imam i na noktima. formula je puterasta i definitivno velika preporuka s moje strane.

prirodna svetlost:

i was in a search for a perfect creme olive shade, and since i am a fan of dance legend formula and brush, decided to choose number 278 from their melange collection.

it is a rich, olive/camouflage green, a shade that i have a lot of in my wardrobe and love to have on my nails. the formula is buttery, and it's definitely a huge recommendation from me.

china glaze four leaf clover (up and away)

prošlo je dosta vremena od kad sam imala china glaze na blogu, pa sam se odlučila za four leaf clover iz stare up and away kolekcije iz 2010.

it's been a while since i had china glaze on the blog, so i am going with four leaf clover from an ancient up and away collection from 2010.

four leaf clover je lak kog bi svaka ljubiteljka zelenih lakova morala da ima. ali je i jedna od najtežih lakova za slikanje, ili je previše travnat (što nije baš tačno) ili više petrojel nego što bi trebalo da bude. u svakom slučaju je živahna srednje zelena.

formula je pristojna i posle ovoliko godina. ipak, ovaj lak je jedini u mojoj kolekciji koji dosta menja nijansu nakon što se doda nadlak. moje slike su sa nadlakom, bez kog je lak više petrolej, ali mi je teško da se nateram da ne namažem nadlak!

prirodna svetlost:

four leaf clover is a definite must have for green lovers. it is one of the hardest shades to capture: it either turns out like  a forest green (which it is not quite accurate) or more teal than it should. nevertheless, it is a vibrant, awesome medium green.

formula is decent even after all these years. there is one strange thing though: it changes the shade a bit after you put the top coat on. the only one i ever experienced this with. this is with the tc, without it, it's more teal. i just can't make myself wear a polish without my tc!

natural light:

ysl prune minimale (7)

prune minimale je jedan od prvih ysl lakova od kad su obnovili kolekciju 2012te.

prune minimale is one of the first (revamped) ysl nail polishes, back in 2012.

prune minimale je klasična vamp nijansa. boja je dosta tamna šljivasta sa jakim braon podtonom. po flašici biste pomislili da ima jak šimer, ali se ništa od toga ne prenosi na nokat, tako da ga ja više smatram kremom.

ovaj lak nema neki specijalni wow efekat, ali je ipak vrlo lep lak. formula je odlična i generalno sam zaljubljena u ysl četkicu, tako da, ako ste u potrazi za vamp lakom, ovo je definitivno dobar izbor.

prirodna svetlost:

prune minimale is a classical vampy shade. it's a quite dark plum that leans towards the brown spectrum. from the bottle, you would be mistaken to believe that it's full of shimmer, because virtually nothing transfers on the nail, so i labeled it as a creme.

there is nothing too special about it, but it is a really nice polish. formula is great and i am in love with the ysl brush, so if you are in a search for a vampy polish, it is definitely a good choice.

natural light:

ysl rose scabiosa (spring 2014)

rose scabiosa je deo ysl dua za proleće 2014, zajedno sa lakom rouge pablo.

rose scabiosa was a part of ysl spring 2014 nail polish duo, together with rouge pablo.

ako ste bili na mom blogu više od jednom, znate da roze nije moja boja, sem ako je u pitanju ysl lak.

rose scabiosa je skoro barby roze, sa blagim lila podtonom koji ga, bar u mom slučaju, čine nosivijem. u pitanju je ysl krema, tako da, u pitanju je savršena formula.

prirodna svetlost:

if you were on my blog more than once, you know i don't gravitate towards pink polishes, unless if it is a ysl polish.

rose scabiosa is almost a bubblegum pink, with a slight lilac undertone that makes it more wearable in my case. it is a ysl creme, so, perfect formula and application.

natural light:

opi no room for the blues (bright pair)

opi bright pair kolekcija je skoro pa preistorijska, jer se pojavila davne 2009, ali se nekoliko lakova zadržalo kao favorit. jedan od njih je svakako no room for the blues.

opi's bright pair collection is ancient, since it was released in 2009, but a few polishes found they way to stay relevant. no room for the blues is definitely one of them.

kod mene plavih lakova nikad dosta, a no room for the blues mi je jedna od omiljenih krema.

nijansa je prelepa, jarka srednje plava. formula je savršena. iako je star, beskprekorno se maže. gotovo sam sigurna da ova nijansa stoji svakom tonu kože, toliko je univerzalna!

prirodna svetlost:

i can never have enough of blue polishes, and no room for the blues is one of my favourite cremes.

it is a gorgeous bright medium blue. the formula is a perfection, even though it's old, it flows effortlessly. i am pretty sure that this shade can fit every skin tone, it's so universal.

natural light:

ysl opulente cannelle (spicy)

spicy je veoma zaniljiva ysl kolekcija iz proleća 2014. opulente cannelle je jedan od šest lakova iz ove kolekcije.

spicy was a very interesting collection from ysl back in spring 2014. opulente cannelle is one of the six polishes from this collection.

opulente cannelle je vrlo nezgodna nijansa za opisivanje. naučila sam da cannelle znači cimet na francuskom, i nekako mi ima smisla jer ima nekako cimetkast izgled.

nijansa je negde između srednje braon i onih prašnjavih roze boja. meni je nekako čudno lep, ali verujem da zavisi dosta od tona kože. formula je potpuno savršena.

prirodna svetlost:

opulente cannelle is very difficult shade to describe. i learned that cannelle actually means cinnamon in french, and it makes sense, it doeas have this cinnamony look.

the shade is somewhere between medium brown and those dusty rose colours. i find it strangley pretty, but i agree that it depends a lot on the skin tone. formula is impeccable.

natural light:

chanel misterious (superstition)

superstition je bila chanel jesenja kolekcija još 2013 i ne znam kako se desilo da sam ovoliko čekala da pokažem misterious .

superstition was chanel's autumn collection back in 2013, and i have no idea why i waited to show misterious until now.

misterious je opisan kao "duboka maslinasta" ali bih to duboko nazvala vrlo, vrlo dubokim.

nijansa je više zacrnjena maslinasta sa sivim i braon podtonovima.  pitanju je lepo klizeća krema, veoma elegantna i lepa.

prirodna svetlost:

misterious was described as a "deep khaki", but i would call that deep very, very deep.

it is more like a quite blackened olive green with some grey and brown undertones. a nicely flowing creme, very elegant and pretty.

natural light:

dior bleuette (glowing gardens)

dior-ova ovogodišnja prolećna kolekcija, glowing gardens, ima par lepotana, a jedan od njih je bleuette.

this year's spring collection from dior, glowing gardens, had a couple of interesting polishes. one of them is bleuette.

bleuette je savršenstvo. prelepa plava krema, na granici da bude pastel. nijansa je baby plava sa trunkom zelene, sasvim dovoljnom da ga napravi (potpuno) različitim od prošlogodišnjeg porceelaine. ne znam da li mi je lepši na suncu ili u hladu.

ovaj lak ima fantastičnu formulu, potpunii netipičnu za ovakve nijanse. dior lakovi su me potpuno impresionirali od kad su reformulisani.

prirodna svetlost:

bleuette is a stunner. a gorgeous blue creme, bordering on being pastel.it is a baby blue with a hint of green in it, just enough to make it (completely) different from last year's porcelaine. i don't know if i like it more in the sun or in the shade.

it has a magnificent formula, totally untypical for these sort of shades. i am really impressed by dior polishes since they got reformulated.

natural light:

opi i just can't cope-acabana (brazil)

leto se približava, pa je vreme da se okrenem živahnim lakovima, poput opi  i just can't cope-acabana iz kolekcije za leto 2014, brazil.

summer is approaching, so it's time for bright polishes, such as opi i just can't cope-acabana from summer collection brazil 2014.

uvek sam otvorena ka novim žutim lakovima, i ovaj je sada negde u vrhu te liste.

 i just can't cope-acabana je savršena svetla i nekako pastelna žuta. tako živahna nijansa, sa prlično dobrom formulom, pogotovo kad se uzme u obzir kako naporne žute umeju da budu. obožavam ga!

prirodna svetlost:

i am always open to new yellow shades, and this one is now among my favourites.

i just can't cope-acabana is a perfect, bright and somehow pastel yellow. it is such a vivid shade, with a pretty good formula, especially when you keep in mind that yellows can be a nightmare. i love it!

natural light:

ysl corail divin (core)

corail divin je prelepi koralni lak iz osnovne ysl kolekcije.

corail divin is a gorgeous coral polish from ysl core collection.

do skora me apsolutno nisu zanimale ovakve "ženske" nijanse. kada sam postala opsednuta ysl lakovima, posebno četkicom koja je kao pravljena za mene, rešila sam da dam šansu takvim lakovima. moram da priznam da se nisam pokajala-

corail divin je živa, narandžasto-koralna boja savršene formule. baš lepa, čista i vesela nijansa.

prirodna svetlost:

for a long time, i really wasn't interested in those "girly" type of colours. maybe because i became obsessed with ysl polishes, especially their brush that is the brush of my dreams, i decided to give these shades a chance. i have to admit, i didn't regret it.

corail divin is a vivid, orange-y coral with an impeccable formula. it really is a nice, clean and joyful shade.

natural light:

dior gris montaigne (gris city)

gris montaigne je prelepa siva iz dior-ove kolekcije gris city iz 2011.

gris montaigne is a really gorgeous grey from dior's old 2011 collection, gris city.

gris montaigne je savršen lak! nema veze koliko ga puta slikam, uvek ispadne tamniji nego uživo. takođe, ovo je jedna od najsivljih sivih koje posedujem, bez skoro nimalo plavog podtona ali sam odustala (za sad) od pokušavanja da ga uhvatim tačno.

boja je vrlo duboka i zasićena, a iako je stari lak, formula je savršena.

prirodna svetlost:

gris montaigne is so so gorgeous. whenever i took pictures of it, it turned out to look darker than it really is. also, it is one of the truest grey shades i have, with almost no blue undertone, but i gave up on trying to get it right.

the colour is very saturated, and even though it's old, formula is dreamy.

natural light:

picture polish chillax (urban shades)

danas prikazujem lak koji ću sigurno dosta nositi ovog leta: chillax iz picture polish kolekcije urban shades.

today i am showing a polish that i am sure i will wear a lot this summer: chillax from picture polish urban shades collection.

ova nijansa je prosto fantastična. prava živahna i bistra mint plava sa malčice više zelene nego što moje slike pokazuju, izgleda da je ovo jedna od onih nijansi koje izgledaju drugačije na različitoj vrsti tena, ali na meni je baš mint plav.

formula je odlična, mlečna krema koja se savršeno maže, prosto vrišti proleće i sunce!

prirodna svetlost:

this shade is pure awesomeness! it is a bright, vivid minty blue with a tad more green tone than in my photos. it seems to be one of those shades that look differently on different skin tones, but this is how it looks on mine.

it is a perfect, milky creme with perfect application. it simply screams spring and sun!
