depend 227 (spring 2011)

danas pokazujem moj poslednji depend lak, broj 227 iz njihove kolecje za proleće 2011.

today i am showing my last depend polish, number 227, from their collection for spring 2011.

stvarno volim ovaj lak i dosta sam ga nosila. nijansa je svetla smaragdna zelena, puna srebrnkastih ljuspica. jedan je od onih lakoca kojima je teško uhvatiti boju, što je i razlog zašto mi je ovoliko vremena trebalo da ga pokažem na blogu.

formula je prilično dobra, bez vidljivih poteza četkicom, i stvarno nemam na šta da se požalim (sem činjenice da ima samo 5 ml).

prirodna svetlost:

i really love this polish and wore it a lot. it is a really gorgeous shade of light emerald green, packed with silvery glass flecks. it is one of those polishes that are hard to capture, which is the reason it took me so long to show it on the blog. this time i did a pretty god job.

formula is really good, without brushstrokes, nothing to complain about here (other than the fact that it has only 5 ml).

depend laurel green (holographic 2035)

bila sam ubeđena da sam odavno objavila slike laurel green is depend-ove holographic kolekcije, tako da sam se iznenadila kad sam shvatila da sam nekako zaboravila na njega, iako sam ga nosila nekoliko puta, dok sam druga dva laka, blue denim i raspberry , predstavila gotovo odmah.

i was so convinced i already swatched this beautiful holographic polish, laurel green from depend, and i was very surprised to see i somehow failed to do that, given that i posted about the other two i got, blue denim and raspberry, almost immediately and wore this one quite a lot.

ovaj lak sam prvi put nosila na moru prošlog leta, i mazala sam ga uveče, u prigušenom svetlu sobe (zbog mog preteranog straha od komaraca), i pri takvom osvetljenju mi se činilo da nije dovoljno izražajan sa dva sloja pa sam dodala i treći. sledeće jutro, na putu do plaže, skoro sam oslepela od jakog holo efekta :)

baš su mi dragi ovi mali depend holo lakovi, i baš šteta da više ne mogu da se nađu. bazna boja od laurel green je prigušena, svetlo zelena, i podseća me na zoya vespa. holo efekat je linearan i vrlo izražen.

lak izgleda neobično i u senci, jer je bazna boja baš lepa, a holo efekat se svede na zlatkasti šimer koji izbija iz laka. šteta da su bočice male, verovatno mogu da izvučem još maksimalno dva mazanja iz njega.

prirodna svetlost:

i remember that i wore this polish for the first time on our holiday last summer, and i was applying it in dim light of our hotel room (i have an unreasonable fear of mosquitoes), and it looked to me that it wasn't opaque enough with two layers so i added the third. next morning, as we headed to the beach, i got almost blinded from the crazy holo effect :)

i love these small depend holos, too bad it was a limited edition. laurel green's shade is a light, pale green, almost sage. in a way, the color reminds me of zoya's vespa. the holo effect is linear and quite strong.

i like this polish even in shade, because the base color is so pretty and holo effect is manifested as golden dancing shimmer. too bad the bottles are so small, i can probably scrape one or two more applications.

holo skittles

prethodna forumska tema je bila skittles. od početka sam imala ideju da napravim holo varijantu, jer, iako mi se najviše sviđaju pastelni skittles noktići, nemam ni jednog pastelca a kamo li da imam dovoljan izbor za skittles.

izbor je pao na china glaze fyi, color club fashion addict, depend 2027, 2032 i 2035.

the previous theme last week was skittle. from the beginning, i had an idea to do a holo version of skittles. even though my favorite combo is with pastel polishes, i don't own any, let alone enough to do a skittle mani!

my choice of polishes was china glaze fyi, color club fashion addict, depend 2027, 2032 and 2035.

problem je nastao jer sam bila na službenom putu od petka ujutro, i nije bilo prilike da namažem skittles nokte. srećna sam da na posao mogu da nosim kakve god lakove poželim, ali kada idem na konferencije i slično, ipak mislim da nije baš sve prikladno. avion mi je sleteo u sredu kasno uveče, i nisam se ni raspakovala kako treba, ali sam morala da namažem nokte u poslednjoj prilici za tematski petak!

na žalost, nisam znala da će seo četvrtak (juče) padati kiša, tako da je holo efekat skoro pa nevidljiv. ipak, sviđa mi se kako je ispalo.

prirodna svetlost:

the biggest probem was that i was on a work trip since friday morning, and there was no way i could do a skittles mani. i'm happy that i can wear any polish i want to work, but when i'm going on conferences, i don't think that everything's appropriate. so, my plane landed on wendesday evening, and i didn't even unpack completely, but i had to do a theme friday mani :D


unfortunately, i wasn't aware that it will be raining the entire thursday, so the holo effect of the polishes was poor, but i liked how it turned out anyway.

depend 045

uzela sam ovaj depend zlatni lak kao šalu. generalno, ne volim zlato, mada je počelo da mi se sviđa na noktima i početna ideja mi je bila da ga koristim kao nadlak preko tamnih boja.

i got this gold polish from depend as a joke. i don't actually like gold (but i started to enjoy it on nails), and my initial plan was to use it for layering over blacks.

nažalost, za mene je previše gust da bi se koristio kao nadlak. a i od kad imam huntsman iz essence snow white kolekcije, jedan je definitivno previše. kada sam ga namazala prvi put, izgledao mi je presmešno, ali sam ga nosila par puta vikendom za izlaske, i odmah ujutru skidala :D sva sreća pa se ovi depend lakovi brzo troše, verovatno će sledeće mazanje biti i poslednje!

prirodna svetlost:

unfortunately, it is a bit thickish for layering. now that i have the huntsman from essence's snow white le, one of them is definitely not needed. when i had it on for the first time, it looked so silly on me, but i ended up wearing it a couple of times on weekends, when i go out, and i remove it as soon as i open my eyes in the morning :D good thing is that depend polishes can be used up pretty quickly, i guess the next time i wear it would be the last!

layering: depend 5003 over depend 252

ovo je trebalo da bude oproštajni post za depend 252, ali se ispostavilo da je oproštajni post i za depend 5003 crackle.

uzela sam ovaj roze crackle od dependa, jer mi je ljubičasti izgledao gotovo crno na noktima, pa sam bila pametna i pomislila da će onda roze da vuče na ljubičasto :D naravno da nije, ali sam našla kombinacije u kojima mi se svidelo kako izgleda, a jedna od njih je bila sa 252 kao bazom.

na žalost, crackle se potpuno osušio kada sam krenula da ga premažem preko 252. nokti su mi izgledali užasno, roze deo se bukvalno ljuštio i izvijao na krajevima, tako da sam ga skinula istog trenutka. zbog toga, imam samo jednu sliku da prikažem, i to od ranije, sa crackle petka.

this was supposed to be a good bye post for depend 252, but it turned out to be a good bye post for 5003.

i got the pink crackle polish from depend because the purple one looked almost black on the nails, and i had a brilliant idea that the pink one would look like purple. of course it didn't :D although i don't like pink on my nails, i found some crackle combinations with it that i liked, and one of them was with 252.

unfortunately, the crackle polish dried out, and when i applied it, it looked horrible, with the ends of patterns bending away from the polish. i removed it all immediately, so i have only one picture to show you, the one from our crackle friday. as well.

depend 252

depend 252 je divni plavi lak sa staklastim šimerom.

depend 252 is a beautiful blue glass flecked polish!

lak ima savršenu formulu i lako se nanosi, samo je malo proziran, pa sam morala da namažem tri sloja. obično me nervira kada na standardna dva moram da dodam još jedan, ali ovde je sve išlo glatko. prethodni put kada sam ga mazala, sigurno su mi bila dovoljna dva sloja, ali tada sam imala svoju standardnu "dužinu" noktiju tj. bela linija nokta ni ne postoji, a sada sam se zapustila jedno 5 dana pa imam oko 2mm "izrastka" koje pod hitno moram da sredim (volim da imam nokte isečene "do živca") :) i sa tri sloja se ponegde providi.
prirodna svetlost:

formula is pretty good and the application is easy. it is a bit sheer, so i had to go for three layers. although i hate when i have to add one more layer to the existing two, but here everything went smoothly.  last time i wore it, i'm sure two layers were enough, but at that time i had my regular nail length, which means, no visible nail line to begin with :D for the last five days i didn't have enough time to take care of my nails, so now i have 2 mm of nail line that i will have to take care of as soon as possible (i like my nails short). even with three coats, VNL is still present.

depend 2027 raspbery (holographic)

raspberry je još jedan prelepi lak iz depend hologhraphic kolekcije.

raspberry is another gorgeous polish from depend's holographic collection.

raspberry je prelepi holo lak! kad nema svetlosti, izgleda kao obični malinasti lak sa šimerom, ali uz samo tračak svetla pretvara se u jedno pravo malo savršenstvo!

holo čestice su plave i narandžaste, ali su ove druge zadužene za wow efekat.

prirodna svetlost:

raspberry is a beautiful holo. when there is no light, or from a far, it looks like a simple raspberry polish with shimmer, but with just a little bit of light it turns into a prettiest thing ever. 

holo particles are blue and orange, but the orange ones are responsible for the wow effect of this polish.

my collection: depend

ovo je moja kolekcija depend lakova. na svu sreću, svi sem jednog su topperi i holo lakovi :D dobra stvar kod bočica od 5 ml je da ih možete potrošiti u nekom normalnom vremenskom periodu!

this is my collection of depend polishes. luckily, they are mostly toppers and holos! the good thing about this 5 ml bottle is that you can actually empty it in a reasonable amount of time!

1 045

2 252

3 5003 cracked effect

4 2032 holographic denim blue

5 2035 holographic laurel green

6 2027 holographic raspberry

ako se sećate, 5026 cracked je izmešten!
if you remeber, 5026 cracked has moved!

depend blue denim (2032 holographic)

depend.se je švedska firma čiji se lakovi mogu naći u dm-u (bar ovde gde ja živim). već sam koristila njihove crackle lakove, jer mi odgovara mala mililitraža (5 ml). sada se pojavila i holo serija, pa sam kao prvog uzela 2032 blue denim, ali se sigurno vraćam po još.

depend.se is relatively new swedish company. in my country, you can find their nailpolishes in dm stores. i already have a couple of their crackle polishes, because the bottle is small, 5 ml, so i know i will eventually empty it :) their holo series is new, i got 2032 blue denim to try it out, but will be back for more!
