deborah milano knock out violet (pret a porter 35)

danas se opraštam od deborah milano laka, knock out violet, iz njihove pret a porter linije.

today, i am saying goodbye to deborah milano knock out violet, from their pret a porter line.

kada su u potanju deborah milano lakovi, ima svakakvih primeraka. dosta nijansi je vrlo zanimljivo, ali često formula može da bude problematična. knock out violet je jedan od njihovih najpopularnijih lakova, ali ja nisam baš imala sreće s mojim primerkom.

ovaj lak ima sve što obično volim. bazna boja je tamno ljubičasta, sa plavim i ljubičastim staklastim šimerom. teško se slika, uvek ispada plavlji nego što jeste i mislim da nigde nisam videla potpuno veran swatch.

ja sam bila loše sreće s formulim. bočica mi je sad ispražnjena, i uvek sam se mučila s mazanjem da često nisam htela ni da slikam nokte, misleći da će sledeći put biti bolje. ovaj put sam to morala da uradim, pošto mi je bila poslednja prilika. izgleda da se niko drugi ne žali na formulu, pa je moguće da sam naletela na loš primerak, jer je dosta voden, ostavlja puno ćelavih mesta, nanosi se nejednako i sve u svemu, mazanje je noćna mora. šteta, jer je boja predivna.

when it comes to deborah milano, it can be hit and miss. they have a lot of interesting colours, but the formula can be problematic. knock out violet is one of the shades that we're most raved about, but it turns out, i wasn't so lucky with my bottle.

this polish has everything i usually love, it is a dark purple base, with purple and blue glass flecks. it is horror to photograph, it always looks bluer than it is, i'm not sure i ever saw a completely faithfull swatch.

i had bad luck with the formula. this bottle is now empty, and i always had problems with application so i didn't even want to photograph the nails, thinking that it will be better next time. now, since it's was my last chance, i had to do it. it seems that nobody else is complaining about the formula, so i guess i just got a bad bottle, but it is runny, a lot of bald spots, application is uneven ad it's a real horror to work with. too bad, since the shade is gorgeous.

ruffian: silver & black holo

prošlo je dosta od kad sam poslednji put imala ruffian, i već dugo imam ovakvu srebrno-crnu kombinaciju u glavi. kada sam videla sličnu kombinaciju na fashion polish blogu, rešila sam da je rekreiram uz zoya trixie i deborah shine tech 18.

it's been a while since i've done a ruffian mani, and i had this silver&black combo in mind for some time, but when i saw something similar on fashion polish blog, i decided to do it in her way, with zoya trixie  and deborah shine tech 18.

deborah milano 66 purplish

deborah pret-a-porter lakovi su mi se uvek sviđali iz daljine, ali me nekako nisu oduševili (naravno, sa izuzetkom predivnog knock out violet), tako da vrlo često ni ne bacim oko na njihov štand. ali, otprilike pre mesec dana,  ugledalan sam purplish čim sam zakoračila u parfimeriju, i odmah zaboravila na sva moja pravila o proveri na internetu i potrage za swatch-evima, već sam ga odmah strpala u korpu. na sreću, nije me razočarao.

i always found deborah pret-a-porter polishes to be cute from afar, but they never wowed me (with the notable exception of knock out violet), so i don't even check out their stands. but, about a month ago, i spotted purplish from a mile away! it looked so yummy in the bottle, i forgot everything about doing my research and looking for swatches online, i just grabbed it. and it didn't disappoint me.

bazna boja je tamno ljubičasta, sa puno raznobojnih mikro šljokica različitih boja (neke su i holo) i čak i oblika. formula je u redu, potpuna pokrivenost se dobija sa dva sloja. moram reći i da me je četkica prijatno iznenadila.

već sam ga nosila tri puta, ali mi nije nešto išlo sa fotografisanjem. ili je bilo previše oblačno da bi se istakle holo čestice, ili je bazna boja ispadala nekako plavlja, ovaj put mislim da sam je prilično verno uhvatila!

it is a dark purple shade, filled with glitter of all sorts of colors and shapes. some of the glitter particles are holo. the application was decent, the polish has good coverage and it is fully opaque with two layers, and the brush was suprisingly good.

i wore three times, and for the first two, i had some difficulties with capturing the color and the effects faithfully. either it was too cloudy to bring out the holo part, or the base color turned out too blurply. now, i think i finally got it!

deborah shine tech 18

deborah shine tech 18 je lak koji već dugo šmekam (definitivno sam slaba na crne lakove). ipak, cena i činjenica da sam se već razočarala sličnim, catrice i wear sunglasses at night, su me nekako odvlačili od kupovine. pre par nedelja su svi shine tech lakovi kod mene sniženi na nešto više od 2 evra pa sam ga konačno sam uzela. negde u to vreme je pao dogovor da je petak 13. goth petak, pa sam ga čuvala za ovu priliku.

deborah shine tech 18 was on my wishlist for a long time, because i am a sucker for a good black polish, but it's price and disappointment with similar polish from catrice, i wear my sunglasses at night, left the polish on my wish list instead of my nails. when all shine tech polishes got 50% off, it was a good opportunity to get it! somewhere around that time, we on ana agreed on goth friday, so i was saving it for today.

u flašici lak izgleda savršeno, krem crna sa holo česticama, ali sam se plašila da se boja neće tako verno preneti. ipak, nisam doživela catrice fijasko, i, sem nešto tanje četkice, nemam šta da zamerim. čestice se dovoljno dobro vide, ali nisu toliko in your face, što lak čini nosivim u svim prilikama.

dnevna svetlost:

polish looks perfect in the bottle, creme blach with holo particles. i was worried that they will not be visible enough (catrice fiasco), but i was surprised with how good the polish looks. particles are not so in your face, which makes it even more wearable. the brush was a little bit narrow for my taste, but nothing i couldn't work with.
