opi have you seen my limo (holiday in hollywood)

pre nego što sam zapošela ovaj post, uopšte nisam bila svesna toga da je opi-jev lak have you seen my limo toliko star. izašao je kao deo holiday in hollywood kolekcije za praznike 2007.

before i started this post, i was completely unaware that opi's have you seen my limo is such an old polish! the collection it was in, holiday in hollywood, was released for holidays 2007.

nije mi jasno kako su u opi-ju ovoliko mogli da promaše promo sliku, jer nije ni približno onakva kako ovaj lak izgleda. trebalo bi da bude i blago duohrom, ali no ne vidim i neću ga tako označiti. ipak, obožavam ovaj lak i mislim da je jasno zašto.

limo je prelepa ljubičasto-patlidžanasta nijansa sa neverovatnim suptilnim zelenim i srebrnim šimerom kog mog kamera prosto ne ože da ulovi. veoma mi je žao zbog toga jer taj šimer je baš to što ovom laku da je specijalni momenat.

i have no idea how opi managed to mess up the promo picture like this, because it's not even similar to what it looks in real life. it is supposed to be slightly duochrome as well, but i definitely can't see it. nevertheless, i adore this polish, and i think it's easy to see why.

limo is a purple-eggplant type of shade with awesome subtle green and subtle shimmer that my camera just can't seem to catch. this is such a pity because it is what gives this polish that extra special touch. it is so rich and pretty!

a england incense burner (rosetti's goddess)

vreme je za još jedan a england lak. ovaj put sam izabrala incense burner iz rosetti's goddess kolekcije.

it's time for another a england, this time i chose incense burner from rosetti's goddess collection.

incense burner me je potpuno neočekivano raspametio. izgleda tako kompleksno i duboko.

nijansa naizgled izgleda kao jednostavna patlidžan/burgundy, ali ima i pomalo duohrom efekat. na krajevima, dobija malo zelene ili zlatne nijanse. tu je i vrlo, vrlo supttilni holo šimer, koji je tu samo da mu da malo efekta ali mislim da nije ni zamišljen da izgleda kao ludi holo lak.

formula je, kao i uvek odlična. zaista sam oduševljena ovim lakom, tako je kompleksan i divan.

prirodna svetlost:

incense burner blew me away quite unexpectedly. it is so complex and deep.

the colour seems like a simple eggplant/burgundy shade, but it has a bit of a duochrome effect in a way. on the edges, it can seem a bit green or gold. it has a really, really subtle holo shimmer, just in order not to look too bland, but i don't think that it being a crazy holo was a point here.

formula is, as usual, spot on. really, i love it. it's quite complex and gorgeous.

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

catrice purplelized 430

ne znam zašto sam zapostavljala  catrice purplelized, mislim da sam ga nosila  samo jednom od kad sam ga kupila pre godinu dana (a tad je negde i povučen). baš propust, jer je lak predivan!

i have no idea why i've been putting catrice's purplelized aside, i think i wore it only once since i bought it a year ago (and it's been discontinued for a while), and it's a shame because this polish is gorgeous!

 iako ima reč "ljubičasto" u imenu, ovo nije tipična ljubičasta, više je mešavina sa patlidžan nijansom i srebrnom. lak je prepun srebrnkastog šimera, koji može da izglea i plavo i rozikasto, u zavisnosti od ugla i svetlosti, i koji mu daje skoro metalik završnicu.

sad kad gledam slike, čini mi se da bi ovaj lak odlično izgledao matiran, ali sad je kasno da to isprobam. pošto je iz stare catrice linije, ima odličnu četkicu i solidnu formulu, što daje dodatne pluseve ovom laku.


prirodna svetlost:

even though it has a word "purple" in the name, this is not a typical purple shade. it's more of a purple-eggplant-silver mixture, packed with silvery shimmer that can look blue or pink, depending on the light and angle and it gives it almost a metallic look.

now that i'm looking at the pictures, i think it would look amazing with matte top coat, but that didn't occur to me when i wore the polish. since it is from the old catrice line, it has amazing brush and a solid formula, making this polish really special.
