gosh ocean (540)

while i'm on the subject of polishes that are hard to capture, say hello to gosh's ocean, that i won on cayca's giveaway ages ago. i almost finished the polish but i'm just now showing it. 

it is one of the polishes that gets mentioned as a close enough dupe for chanel azure. gosh is a danish brand so not so easy to catch, therefore i don't have no idea if it is supposed to be more accessible than the chanel one.

it is a very pretty (mostly) turquoise duochrome, that shifts through many ranges of blue and green, depending on the light. it also has a touch of iridescent effect on it. brushstrokes are there, but not overwhelming. a perfect summer polish!

picture polish free (special edition)

today i am showing you a special edition picture polish, free, that is so far my favourite polish of 2017.

if you live in australia, you get this polish for free (hence the name) with your purchase. luckily, us non-australians can still buy it regularly. and this polish is truly divine! it has a duochrome effect, shifting from teal to blue, with awesome holo shimmer. 

the formula is awesome, it simply flows. i couldn't stop looking at my nails, so i am posting a bit more photos than usual, because it is truly a chameleon. i took pictures under direct sunlight, slight overcast and in shade, and it is stunning in every condition,

dance legend wood goblin (anna gorelova winter)

posle perioda putovanja, vraćam se uz pomoć ovog lepotana, wood goblin iz anna gorelova zimske kolaboracije sa dance legend.

after some travelling, i am back and decided to start with this beauty, wood goblin from anna gorelova's winter collaboration with dance legend.

wood goblin je vrlo interesantan lak. duboko zeleni duohrom, koji se preliva u tamno ljubičastu. na žalost, iako je ovaj preliv vrlo jasan u senci, moj aparat prosto nije hteo da ga uhvati. ipak, efekat donekle može da se vidi u flašici.

suši se nekako satenasto, što mi se svidelo pa nisam koristila nadlak.

prirodna svetlost:

wood goblin is really stunning. it's a deep green duochrome, shifting to deep purple. unfortunately, even though the shift is very visible in the shade, my camera just couldn't capture it, but you can at least get a glimpse of it in the bottle.

it dries in kind of a satiny finish, which i find to be gorgeous so i didn't use a top coat..

fun lacquer desires (h) (christmas 2015)

postajem baš opsednuta f. u. n. lacquer lakovima, tako da vam danas pokazujem prelepi desires (h) iz christmas 2015 kolekcije.

i am really getting obessed with f. u. n. lacquer, so i am showing you the gorgeous desires (h) from christmas 2015 collection.

lakovi u ovoj kolekciji dolaze u holo verziji, obeleženoj s (h), i ne-holo. desires je prelepi duohrom, sa srednje zelenom kao dominantnom nijansom koja se preliva u zlatkasto/brontanu braon, štoje bolje vidljivo na slikama u senci.

u holo verziji, dodate su i stine i mikro zlatne šljokice i šimer, i kao krajnji rezultat imamo zaista divan lak. vidim zašto se nalazi u božićnoj kolekciji, ali ga ne vidim ograničenog samo na taj period godine. što se tiče formule, nemam ni na šta da se požalim.

prirodna svetlost:

polishes in this collection come in a holo, marked with (h) and non holo version. desires is really gorgeous duochrome, with medium green being the most dominant shade, that shifts to goldish/bronze brown, as you can see in the images in shade.

in the holo version,  fine and micro holographic gold glitter and shimmer are added to the mix. the end result is a really awesome shade. i see it perfect for christmas period, but not limited to it. formula wise, there is really nothing to complain about it.

picture polish magic (collaboration shade)

danas je vrlo poseban dan, kao što ću pojasniti dalje u tekstu, pa sam rešila da pišem o laku magic, koji je nastao u kolaboraciji picture polish sa lakkomlakkom.

this day is a very special day, as i will explain later in the text, so i decided to write about magic, picture polish collaboration shade with lakkomlakkom.

izvor/source

današnji dan ću pamtiti po neverovatnom otkriću zbog kog sam skakala od sreće (iako prolazim kroz loš period), bila na ivici suza i imala blagu aritmiju pre nego što se ozvaničilo. kao doktora fizike, otkriće gravitacionih talasa me je učinilo srećnom da živim u ovoj epohi. potpuno magičan, neverovatan događaj!

zato sam odlučila da pišem o laku koji se poklapa sa mojim trenutnim raspoloženjem: magic! ovo je vrlo jedinstven i kompleksan lak. duohrom, koji se menja iz roze zlata do bež, sa holo šimerom koji izgleda kao da pluta na površini nokta. čarobno! slike u senci pokazuju kompleksnost duohrom izgleda.

prirodna svetlost:

today marked an amazing achievement that made me jump from joy (even though i am going to a ruff period lately), being on the verge of crying and having small arrhythmia before the announcement. being a doctor of physics, i am so happy to live in the time where the gravitational waves were detected! what an amazing moment!

so, i chose the polish with the name that matches my emotional state: magic! it is a very unique and complex polish. duochrome, switching from  rose gold to a sort of beige shade, with holographic shimmer that looks like it's floating on top of the nails. stunning! the pictures in the shade show the true nature of the duochrome complexity.

chanel rose fusion (vamp attitude)

pošto je ovaj post najverovatnije poslednji za ovu godinu, rešila sam da izaberem baš poseban lak, i mislim da je rose fusion iz chanel-ove praznične kolekcije vamp attitude pravi izbor.

since this is probably my last post of the year, i wanted to finish it with a very special polish,and i believe that rose fusion from chanel's holiday collection called vamp attitude is just that.

 

moram priznati da bih ga verovatno preskočila da nije bilo slika od liv sa blushnglow bloga. bočica može da vas prevari da pomislite da je lak dosadan, a u stvari je jedan od najkomplesnijihh koje imam.

količina boja i finiša u jednoj bočici je neverovatna. kada je oblačan dan, izgleda kao prelepi duohrom koji se preliva iz ljubičaste u blatnjavu. na suncu postaje bronzikaszi metalik lak sa prelepim srebrnim šimerom.

stvarno je jedinstven i fantastičan, kao da imate drugi lak svaki put kad pogledate u nokte. pomalo se vide potezi četkice, ali nije strašno. postavila sam dosta slika jer zaista nisam mogla da oslolim.

oblačan dan:

i would have probably overlooked this one, if it wasn't for blushnglow. the botlle can fool you to think that this is a dull polish, while in reality, it is one of the most complex.

the amount of colours and finishes in one bottle is crazy. on  a cloudy day, it is a gorgeous purple to taupe duochrome, while at sun it becomes a more bronzy metallic polish with awesome silvery shimmer.

it is really unique and magnificent, as if you are wearing a different polish every time you look at your nails. the formula is a bit brushstrokey, but it's really fine. i have a lots of pictures, because i couldn't resist.

cloudy day:

catrice get the blues (ultimate nail lacquer 55)

moj današnji izbor je  catrice get the blues iz ultimate nail lacquer kolekcije.

my pick for today is catrice get the blues from their ultimate nail lacquer line.

mrzim kad se dobar brend potpuno pokvari. catrice mi je do pre par godina bio omiljeni drogerijski brend, a sada više ni ne gledam koje lakove izbacuju zbog nezgodne četkice i ne uvek najsrećnije formule.

get the blues je interesantan lak. imam slabu tačku za duohrom lakove, a ovaj je baš zanimljiv. dominantna nijansa je negde između prašnjavo sive i plave, koja se preliva u više petrolej ili plavu pod ekstremnijim uglovima i svetlom. kada prođete kroz ne baš lagano mazanje, utisak je dobar.

formula je prilično prozirna, i posle tri sloja sam viđala tzv. "ćelava" mesta.

prirodna svetlost:

i hate when a good nail polish brand manages to downgrade. that's the case with catrice for me, they used to be my favourite drugstore brand, but now i don't even pay attention to their line because of the horrible brush and not always good formula.

get the blues is overall a cool polish. i am a sucker for duochromes, and this one is really interesting. the main colour is a mix between a dusty grey and blue, becoming tealish or more blue in extreme angles. once you manage to get it on the nails, it looks really pretty.

it is quite sheer, though. even with three coats, you can find a bald patch.

picture polish nemesis (vampy chameleons)

nemesis je moj jedini izbor iz zaista prelepe picture polish kolekcije, vampy chameleons.

nemesis was my only pick from a truly gorgeous picture polish collection, vampy chameleons.

pošto nisam neki veliki ljubitelk crvenih lakova, odlučila sam se samo za jedan lak iz ove kolekcije, i nekako mi je nemesis zapao za oko.

bazna boja je bordo, sa blagim duohrom efektom gde ivice povuku na zlatkasto. lak uz to poseduje i rasejani holo efekat, uz blagi šimer, tako da je zaista poseban. formula je bez greške.

prirodna svetlost:

since i am not a huge red fan, i decided to pick only one polish from this collection, and nemesis somehow caught my eye.

the base colour is burgundy, with a slight duochrome effect as it gets goldish in the edges. add to that scattered holo and some shimmer, and you get a true gem. application is flawless.

dance legend sirin (anna gorelova winter collection)

anna gorelova zimska kolekcija za dance legend je potpuno magična. preuzela sam prvi fotografiju sa njenog bloga, i možete da vidite da se uz lak dobija i prsten. po mom mišljenju, sirin, na dnu desno, se jasno izdvaja!

anna gorelova winter collection for dance legend is a complete dream. i took the first picture from her blog, and you see that you also get a cute ring with the polish. if you ask me, sirin, the bottom right, is a standout!

izvor-source

lak je prelep, zaista prelep! divan duohrom, uglavnom tirkizni koji se preliva u druge nijanse plave. uz to, tu su i male holo čestice, u potpuno odgovarajućoj količini, da ne preuzmu primat nad primarnim efektom laka.

formula je isto odlična, tako da je ovaj lak po meni pun pogodak! uz to, i prsten je baš po mom ukusu i često ga nosim.

prirodna svetlost:

this polish is gorgeous, just gorgeous! amazing duochrome, mostly turquoise but leaning to other shades of blue. there is also some tiny holographic glitter, in just the right amount, not to overwhelm the polish.

formula is also nice, and, overall, a beautiful, magical shade that i'm in love with. and i wear the ring really often!

opi green on the runway (coca cola)

green on the runway je moj jedini izbor iz ovogodišnje opi coca cola kolekcije.

green on the runway is my only pick from this year's opi's coca cola collection.

zaljubila sam se u ovaj lak posle prve objavljene slike. trebalo bi da predstavlja sprite, ali ja baš ne vidim neku povezanost. da, limenka je zelena, ali potpuno drugačija zelena. ali, dobro.

ovaj duohrom je više nego očaravajuć. maslinasto zelena je dominantna boja, ali se pod malo ekstremnijim uglovima pretvara u neku vrstu bakarne. aplikacija je solidna, gotovo da nema vidljivih poteza četkice. za mene je pravi lepotan.

prirodna svetlost:

the second i saw the first picture of this polish, i knew i'm in love. it is supposed to represent sprite, but i honestly can't see the inspiration. yup, the can is green, but a completely different sort of green.

this duochrome is beyond stunning. it is mainly olive green, but at more extreme angles it shifts to coppery kind of colour. application is nice, almost no brush strokes. it is a beauty.

essence power girl (superheroes)

ne volim izgovore, ali su mi posao i putovanja stvarno pojeli svo slobodno vreme. sada se vraćam starom ritmu, i najbolji način da to započnem je sa lepotanom.

power girl je iz essence superheroes kolekcije iz prethodne zime. već sam prikazala drugi lak, the incredibles, ovde.

i'm not really big on excuses, but my work and travels really ate up all of my time. now i'm back on track, and it is only appropriate to start with a real beauty.

power girl is from essence's superheroes collection back in winter 2013. i already showed my other polish, the incredible, here.

ova kolekcija je bila posvećena lakovima sa specijalnim završnicama, i power girl je reklamiran kao lak sa efektom naftne mrlje. u suštini, duohrom koji se preliva iz plave u ljubičastu.

duohromi su mi slaba tačka, i zaista nemam ništa poput ovog laka. na žalost, essence kozmetika mi više nije dostupna, ali je caja bila ljubazna da mi ga nabavi.

ovaj lepotanko ima stvarno jak duohrom efekat, i boje su prelepe. na žalost, slike pod direktnim svetlom prikazuju samo plavu, sam nagoveštajem ljubičaste na ivicama, ali slike u zatvorenom ipak donekle dočaravaju efekat. tragovi četkice su vidljivi, što je i očekivano kod ovakvih lakova, pa mi to ni ne smeta.

direktna svetlost.

this collection was all about special effect polishes, and power girl was advertised as a polish with an oil slick effect. basically, a duochrome that shifts from purple to blue.

i am a sucker for duochromes, and i really have nothing like this one. unfortunately, essence cosmetics is not available to me anymore, so i am grateful to cayca that she picked this one up for me.

this baby has a really strong duochrome effect, and the colours are gorgeous. unfortunately, my pictures in the direct light show only the blue, with a hint of purple on the edges, but the indoor pictures are showing the effect much better. formula is a bit brushstrokey, which is expected for these finishes, but it doesn't really bother me.

chanel peridot (illusions d'ombres fall 2011)

konačno je došao trenutak da pokažem predivni chanel peridot, iz jesenje kolekcije za 2011, illusions d'ombres.

i think it's about time to show the gorgeous chanel peridot, from the 2011 fall collection illusions d'ombres.

imam pričicu vezanu za peridot, priznajem da sam se kasno upoznala sa high end lakovima, ali je peridot bio prvi lak ove vrste za koji sam čula. pročitala sam članak u blicu, koji je predstavljao ovu novu kolekciju sa naglaskom kako je u većini zemalja već lista čekanja za peridot. meni je to bio šok, pa me je zanimalo kako lak zaista izgleda, i još se više iznenadila kad sam zaključila da je toliko lep da je vredan čekanja!

svakako je ovo jedna od nijansa sa kojima se osećam najprirodnije, iako mogu da razumem da je za neke ovakav lak previše. takođe razumem da prva asocijacija na njega obično nije istoimeni kamen, već muva zunzara. ipak, ova duohrom zeleno zlatna kombinacija (zelena je dominantnija u senci, dok je zlatna primarna na više svetlosti), uz moju ljubav prema metalik lakovima, mi je logična da bude jedna od nijansi koje su mnoge kompanije probale da imitiraju. iako posedujem catrice verziju, genius in the bottle, peridot mi je miljnik iz razloga koje ću detaljnije objasniti kad napravim post poređenja.

pošto je metalik, ima vidljivih poteza četkicom, ali je formula ipak neverovatno dobra.

prirodna svetlost:

when it comes to peridot, i have a story. i admit i am a latecomer when it comes to high end polishes, but peridot was the first polish of this kind that i heard of. there was an article in one serbian newspaper, that was about this collection and mentioned that in many countries, there's a waiting list for peridot. this honestly shocked me, so i was interested to see how this polish looked like, and was surprised that i immediately fell in love with it!

and it sure is one of the shades i feel most comfortable with, although i can understand that it can be too much for some people. i also understand that the first association to it is not the stone of the same name, but the common fly. nevertheless, this combination of greenish gold duochrome (green more dominant in the shade, while gold wins in direct light), with my love for metallic finishes, makes it obvious to me why so many companies tried to make the dupe for it. i own catrice's version, genius in the bottle, and although i love it, i prefer peridot for the reasons i'll explain more thoroughly once i make a comparison post.

it is metallic, therefore brushstrokey, but the formula is impeccable.

miss sporty aurora borealis (metal flip)

danas je još jedan duohrom dan, i ovaj put predstavljam aurora borealis iz miss sporty metal flip kolekcije.

it's another duochrome day, and this time i'm showing aurora borealis from miss sporty metal flip collection.

čini mi se kao da je prošla večnost od kad sam dobila ovaj lak na cajinom blogodarivanju. bočicu sam skoro potrošila, ali sam uvek imala neki problem sa slikama; ili je bilo previše sunčano ili previše oblačno ili bih zaboravila aparat, ali sam sad zadovoljna.

već sam ovo spominjala, ali moram opet: nervira me što miss sporty lakovi nemaju imena na bočici, već morate da ih tražite na sajtu. to me baš frustrira.

ovaj lak je iz malo suptilnije duohrom porodice. nijansa je teška za opisivanje, srebrnkasto-lila sa šimerom, koja može da pređe u zelenkastu. efekat je mnogo očigledniji u bočici. tri sloja su neophodna za pokrivenost, a uvek imam osećaj da bih mogla da dodam još jedan.

nosila sam ga dosta, jer mi je nekako uvek bio izbor za situacije u kojima ne želim da mi nokti privlače pažnju, a opet mi treba neki efekat da ne budem samoj sebi dosadna. prošle nedelje sam otkrila da mi dobro stoji na papcima, tako da ću da ga koristim za pedikir.

prirodna svetlost:

it seems like forever since i got this one in cayca's giveaway. the bottle is almost empty, but something was always wrong with my pictures, either it was to sunny or to cloudy or i would forgot the camera, but i am happy with the pictures now.

i mentioned it before, but i have to say it again, i am frustrated that miss sporty people never put the polish name on the bottle, and then you have to search for it. simply annoying.

this polish is from a more subtle duochrome family. the shade is hard to describe, it is a shimmery silvery lillac that can shift towards green. the effect is much stronger in the bottle. it takes three layers for opacity, and i always have a feeling that i could add another one.

i wore it a lot, because it was sort of my go to polish when i didn't want my nails to stand out, but i still needed that extra something not to be bored. i discovered a week ago that it looks really good on my toes, so i'm going to finish the bottle in that style.

picture polish pshiiit ( pshiit boutique collaboration shade)

lakovi picture polish kolekcije napravljene u saradnji sa raznim blogerkama imaju tu osobinu da su često toliko neobični da ih moj jadni aparat ne može ni približno dobro da dočara. verujte mi, i pshiit, stvoren od strane camille s pshiiit.com (posetite ovaj blog, ima prelepe manikire i fotke) je jedan od njih.

picture polish collaboration shades have that habit of being too gorgeous to be captured faithfully by my sad little camera. trust me, pshiiit, the polish created by camille from pshiiit.com, is one of those shades.  this is one gorgeous blog, with amazing manicures and pictures.

za pshiiit nije dovoljno reći da je prelep. nosila sam ga tri puta, i moj aparat odbija da uhvati prelepu zelenu prirodu ovog laka-kameleona, tako da ste uskraćeni za jedno njegovo lice.

bazna je vrlo pigmentovana tirkizna jelly duohrom (u bočici izgleda zelenije), sa zelenim šimerom i ljuspicama. veoma upada u oči (nosila sam ga na jednoj žurci, i kad sam gledala zvanične slike, moji nokti baš upadaju u oči :D ), i stvarno je neopisivo lepši uživo.

prirodna svetlost:

to call pshiiit beautiful would be an understatement. i wore it three times, and my camera refuses to pick up the gorgeous green nature of this chameleon, so you can see just one aspect of it.

the base color is a highly saturated turquoise jelly duochrome (looks greener in the bottle), with green shimmer and flakes. it's vibrant, eye-catching (i went clubbing with it, and when i saw official photos from the event, my nails really stand out :D) and simply gorgeous, pictures don't do it justice.

catrice genius in the bottle 840

ovu godinu počinjem sa prelepim catrice lakom, genius in the bottle.

i'm starting this year with the beautiful catrice, genius in the bottle!

neću da kukam o tome koliko dugo mi je trebalo da objavim novi post. dosta radim, a i život u novoj, skoro egzotičnoj zemlji znači da barem virtualni život mora da ispašta, ali probaću da se bolje organizujem.

da se vratim na lak. ovaj lepotan je jedan od prvih, ako ne i najboljih duplikata za chanel peridot. veliki sam obožavalac duohrom završnice, pogotovo ako su boje u pitanju zlatna ka maslinastoj. ovo je poslednja catrice serija sa četkicom koju volim, tako da, plus i za to.

imam par slika na direktnom suncu, ali nisam preterano zadovoljna jer mi prsti izgledaju crvenkasto, dok "lightbox" slike pokazuju samo maslinasti deo spektra.

i'm not going to whine about how long it took me to write a new post. i am super busy at work, and living in a new, bit exotic country means that i have little time for my virtual life, but i'll try to organize better.

on to the polish. this baby is one of the first, if not the best, dupes for chanel peridot. i am big fan of duochromes, especially if the shades in question are olive green and gold. this was one of the last catrice polishes with a good brush, so it gets a plus there.

i have a couple of direct sunlight pictures, that i'm not too happy with since my fingers look a bit red, and my "lightbox" pictures show only the olive part of the specter.

essence - caribbean sea (show your feet 01)

ovo je još jedan oproštajni post, ovaj put predstavljam essence - caribbean sea iz show your feet kolekcije.

this is another good bye post, this time, it's essence - caribbean sea from show your feet collection.

ovaj lak sam kupila prošlog leta, priznajem, najviše zbog imena. volela bih da mogu ovo da potvrdim iz iskustva, ali meni stvarno izgleda kao karipsko more. nijansa je orava morska plava sa zelenim podtonom, dok je završnica istovremeno i šimerasta, frosty i blago duohrom, nažalost, sa dosta vidljivih poteza četkice.

essence je već imao lak istog imena, moj je druga verzija. on je slabije pigmentovan i definitivno su mu potrebna tri sloja, što i čini poteze četkicom dosta izražajnijim, ali sam baš uživala noseći ovu bojicu da mu nisam previše zamerila dodatni trud.

prirodna svetlost:

i bought this polish last summer, and i have to admit, i did it mainly because of the name! i wish i can say it from experience, but i think it does look caribbean-y. the shade is sea blue with strong green undertone, and the finish is shimmery, frosty and a bit duochrome-y, unfortunately with quite visible brushstrokes.

essence had a polish with the same name before, so i have version no 2. this one is less pigmented, it really needs three coats, and this is what makes the brushstrokes more prominent, but i enjoyed this colour and didn't mind the extra effort that much.

chanel - azure (l’eté papillon de chanel)

mislim da se može reći da su plavci iz chanel-ove letnje kolekcije l’eté papillon de chanel, bel argus i azure, lakovi o kojima se najviše pričalo ove godine. zvezda današnjeg posta je azure.

i guess it can be said that blues from chanel's summer collection l’eté papillon de chanel, bel argus and azure, are THE most talked about polishes this year. the star of today's post is azure.

do sada smo svi shvatili da obožavam plavce u svim varijantama nijansi i završnica. u ovaj duo sam se zaljubila u trenutku kad sam videla prve slike bočica i znala sam da mogu da ih kupim i na slepo, ali sam nekako mislila da me neće ostaviti bez daha, nakon što sam kolekciji dodavala plavac za plavcem. o, kako sam pogrešila!

azure je tirkizno duohrom savršenstvo, prava nijansa paunovog pera. prosto doziva leto, plažu i talase. duohrom efekat nije preintenzivan, ali sasvim dovoljan da me mami da gledam u nokte pod različitim uglovima, pošto je metalik, ima poneka vidljiva linija četkicem ali ništa preterano.

verujem da je svima dosta čitanja o azure, tako da prelazim na slike, i biće ih gomila. prirodna svetlost:

we all know by now that i'm a huge fan of blues in all the shades and finishes possible. i loved this duo ever since i saw the promo pictures and knew i could buy them blindly, but somehow thought that, after piling up one blue polish after another, they will not leave me breathless. boy, how was i wrong!

azure is a turquoise duochrome perfection, a true peacock shade. it screams summer, beach and waves. duochrome effect isn't insanely strong, but just enough for me to keep glancing at my nails at different angles. since it is metallic, there are some brushstrokes, but nothing too bad.

i'm sure everyone is fed up by azure post, so here are the pictures, and lots of them. natural light:

20. theme friday: duochrome

ovaj kolaž je trebalo da napravim i okačim juče, ali sam nekako zaboravila. tako da, evo meni danas dva posta! 20ti temtaski duohrom petak je bio uspešan (učestvovala sam sa china glaze unpredictable), ali ja ne mogu da dočekam da sklopim kolaž za trenutni, 21vi tematski petak: galaxy nails!

i was supposed to make and post the collage yesterday, but i somehow forgot! so, here we are, 20th theme friday (duochrome) was a success (i participated with china glaze unpredictable), but i am really looking forward for making the collage for the current, 21st theme friday, galaxy nails!

china glaze unpredictable (new bohemian)

kada sam videla promo slike za china glaze new bohemian kolekciju, oduševila sam se. obožavam duohrom lakove, a u ovoj kolekciji mi se apsolutno svaki svideo. rešila sam da prvo uzmem "unpredictable" pa da posle razmislim šta i kako dalje. mislim da sam napravila savršen izbor, jer sam se zaljubila u ovaj lak od trenutka kad sam prvu kap nanela na nokat.

when i saw promo pics for china glaze new bohemian collections, my eyes immediately popped out! i love duochromes, and i couldn't decide which one i liked better. i decided to get "unpredictable", and then decide if i should get more. i believe i made a perfect choice! i fell in love with it when i laid the first spot on my nail.

bazna boja je zelena sa jakim plavim, ili čak til podtonom, sa zlatnim šimerom, tako da se može reći da je ovaj lak zeleno/plavo/zlatni duohrom.

formula je dobra, mada tragovi četkice ostaju vidljivi. pošto je to očekivano za lakove ovog tipa finiša, i pošto je boja savršena, neću mu zameriti ovu jednu manu. lak potpuno pokriva sa dva sloja.

prirodna svetlost:

the base color is blue toned, or even teal green, with gold shimmer, so i guess you could say that it is a green/blue/gold duochrome.

 the formula is good, although it leaves visible brushstrokes, but since this is expected for this type of finish, and since the color is sooooo beautiful, i'm letting this one fault slide. it is fully opaque with two layers.

butter london knackered over zoya trixie

kada sam prvi put mazala knackered, iako sam znala da je lak proziran i da mu trebaju bar tri sloja da bi dobio dubinu, ipak sam probala da ga nosim samog, i čak mi se i takav svideo. lak je pravi kameleon! ovaj put sam rešila da ga namažem preko nekog drugog i trixie mi je zvučala kao dobar izbor. "proziran, svetlucavi lak boje ostrige (da, morala sam ovo da guglam, to je izgleda legitimna boja :D) sa mikro holo šljokicama" preko "svetlo srbernog laka sa svetlucavim metalik finišem" mi je zvučalo odlično, i mislim da sam bila u pravu!

knackered je ublažio intenzivnu srebrnu boju od trixie i dao joj malo duohrom efekta. holo čestice se, na žalost, ne slikaju dobro ali na suncu izgledaju prelepo!

prirodna svetlost:

i wore butter london's knackered on it's own once, and, even though it is shear and needs at least three layers to look opaque, i found it really cute. this time, i decided to use it for layering and trixie seemed like a good choice. "a sheer, twinkling oyster shade flecked with micro glitter holo particles" over "stunning light silver with a sparkling metallic foil finish" sounded good to me, and i wasn't wrong!




knackered toned down the intense silver in trixie and gave it a hint of duochrome. holo glitter is a bit camera shy, but it looks really gorgeous in the sunlight.
