essence sparkling champagner (cracking base base)

vreme je da predstavim jednog iz grupe mojih najstarijih lakova koji je odavno potrošen, iz prve essence cracking linije, bazna boja sparkling champagner.

it's time to show one of my oldest polishes that's been already emptied a while ago, from essence's first cracking line, a base color sparkling champagner.

ovo je bio period kada sam otkrila da postoje i druge boje sem crne, ali nisam imala pojma šta mi se sviđa inudi. tada sam uzela obe baze i sparkling silver se zadržao na listi mojih nosivih boja, dok stvarno ne znam šta mi je bilo u glavi kad sam uzela sparkling champagner!

ovo je školski primer prljavo bisernog frosty laka. boja stvarno podseća na šampanjac. potezi četkicom su vrlo vidljivi, što se i očekuje kod ovakve završnice.  sem prvog puta i kada sam napravila ove slike, nisam ga nosila samog jer je meni ovo tipična boja za starije godpođe. nosila sam ga uglavnom kako su ga u essence i zamislili, kao bazu za crni crackle,  a kombinaciju sa sunđerom ste mogli da vidite ovde.

it was that time when i discovered that there are more colors other than black, but had no idea what i liked. i got both bases, and sparkling silver turned out to be in the color area i still wear, but with champagner i had no idea what i was thinking :)


it is a textbook example of a dirty pearly frosty polish. the colour really reminds of champagne. you can see brush strokes a lot, because of the finish. other than first time and when i took those pictures, i never wore it on it's own, since it is, at least for me, a typical older lady polish. i wore it a lot as it was expected, as a base for black crackle, a sponge crackle combo can be seen here.

essence be optimistic! (colour&go 64)

64 be optimistic! je jedan od mojih retkih preostalih essence color&go lakova, i to je ovo druga bočica koju koristim.

one of my last remaining essence color & go polishes is 64 be optimistic! this is actually my second bottle of this polish.

ovo je prilično pigmentovana narandžasta koja naginje ka bronzi, sa zlatnim šimerom. formula nije jedna od essence-ovih najboljih, prilično je gusta i iako je jedan sloj sasvim dovoljan za potpunu pokrivenost, drugi je neophodan da bi se umanjili vidljivi potezi četkice. ipak, očigledno da mi to ne smeta preterano pošto završavam i drugu bočicu.
prirodna svetlost:

it is a highly opaque orange leaning on bronze shade with golden shimmer. formula is not their best, it is quite thick, enough coverage to be a one coater, but the second is needed to even out the brushstrokes. nevertheless, i obviously liked it enough to get the second bottle after i finish the first, and even this one is on it's way to be emptied.

catrice 620 captain sparrow's boat

pošto je siva tematska boja ovog petka, odlučila sam se za catrice 620 captain sparrow's boat.

since this friday's theme is grey, i decided to go with catrice 620 captain sparrow's boat.

ovaj lak je skoro identičan sa chanel black pearl, i uskoro ću da napravim to poređenje. boja je gunmetal siva, sa diskretnim zelenim šimerom koji je očigledniji u bočici nego na noktima. tragovi letkice mogu da budu vidljivi, ali ništa preterano. mislim da je ova boja jedna od onih koje svima dobro stoje, i baš volim da ga nosim.
prirodna svetlost:

this one is pretty close dupe for chanel black pearl, and i am going to make this comparison soon. the color is gunmetal grey, with some green shimmer that is much more visible in the bottle than on the nails. formula is ok, but it can get bit brushsrokey, nothing too much. it is one of those colors that look good on every skin tone and i really love wearing it.
