opi california raspberry

deluje mi kao nemoguća misija da otkrijem kojoj kolekciji pripada opi california raspberry, ali postoje ubedljivi dokazi da je pripadao prvoj kolekciji!

it seems like an impossible task to pinpoint opi's california raspberry to a specific collection, but there is evidence that it might go back to their first collection.

uzela sam california raspberry kada je draga lakoholičarka rešila da udomi deo kolekcije. iako na prvu loptu ne izgleda kao moja standardna boja, kad sam ga proverila, bilo mi je nešto privlačno u njemu a i bila sam u deficitu ženstvenijih nijansi.
california raspberry je interesantna kombinacija fuksija i hladne roze nijanse, sa srebrnim šimerom koji je skoro iridiscentan, možda i holo. definitivno ne uobičajena roze nijansa, što me je i pozvalo da ga uzmem. formula je besprekorna.

prirodna svetlost:

i picked up california raspberry when a friend was destashing, even though it doesn't look like my usual shade, there was something appealing to me when i looked it up, and at that point i really had no polishes like this.

california raspberry is an interesting mix of fuchsia and cool pink, with silver shimmer that is almost iridescent or even holo. definitely not your usual pink shade, which is what made it appealing to me. formula is flawless.

ysl fuchsia intemporel (core 9)

ništa ne govoril koliko obožavam ysl lakove kad čak imam i ciklamu u kolekciji, br. 9 iz osnovne kolekcije, fuchsia intemporel.

i guess you can tell i really, really love ysl polishes when i even have a fuchsia in my stash, the number 9 from the core colection, fuchsia intemporel.

proklet bio ysl što pravi tako savršene lakove da ih želim sve, čak i ako nisu moje standardne boje.

šalu na stranu, letos sam poželela da izađem malo iz svojih standardnih okvira, i nekako su mi ciklamaste boje prve pale na pamet, a dosta lnapih akoholičarki je hvalilo upravo ovaj lak. moram priznati da sam se iznenadila koliko elegantno mi je šaka izgledala! nije da ću da počnem da gomilam ciklame, ova mi je sasvim dovoljna!

nije da sam baš daltonista kad su u pitanju ženstvenije boje, ali ne mogu da ih razlikujem na pola tona, dok za plavi i zeleni deo spektra vidim i desetinu podtona, tako da ne mogu da kažem ništa posebno o nijansi sem da je rozikasta ciklama, prilično nosiva. mislim da sam pisala i previše o tome koliko mi je savršena ysl formula, samo ću reći da ni ovaj lak nije izuzetak.

prirodna svetlost:

damn you, ysl, for making polishes so perfect that i want them all, even if they are not the colours i usually go for.

all joking aside, sometime in the summer, i felt i needed to get out my comfort zone, and i was thinking of maybe trying fuchsia shades, and fellow nailpolish addicts were raving about this one. the end result is, i was surprised how elegant my hand looked. i will not start to pile up fuchsias, this one is enough, and i love it!

i am not really colour blind when it comes to girlyer colours, but i can't see the half-tone differences that are so distinctive to me when it comes to the blue and green part of the spectrum, so i can't say much regarding the shade, other than that it's a pinkish fuchsia, and that it's really wearable. i think i've been gushing about the perfect ysl formula a bit too much, but i'll just mention that it's a dream.

opi the impossible (mariah carey)

ne mogu da verujem da još nisam pokazala the impossible iz prošlogodišnje mariah carey kolekcije, pošto sam davno objavila can't let go i stay the night.

i can't believe that i still haven't shown the pictures of the impossible from last year's mariah carey collection, since i wrote about can't let go and stay the night a while ago.

ova kolekcija je bila prva kojom su uveli teksturnu završnicu. ovaj lak su opisali kao mat fuksiju sa zvezdastim konfetama.


za mene, ovo je više crvena nego fuksija, sa jelly formulom dok ne krene da se suši. ima rozikaste šestougaone šljokice i šimer. nažalost, ja imam mini koji je bez zvezdastih šljokica, koje su samo u velikim bočicama. iako sam se plašila nanošenja teksturaca mini četkicom, nije bilo apsolutno nikakvih problema, sa prosečnim vremenom sušenja od 20 min.

skoro sam opisala moju indiferentnost prema crvenim lakovima. situacija se malčice menja kada završnica nije kremasta, tj. dodajte mi šljoke i odmah sam srećnija!

prirodna svetlost, bez nadlaka:

this colection was the opi's introduction to the textured finish. their description of this one: "this matte fuchsia with star confetti will never give up".

to me, this is more red than fuchsia, with jelly-like formula before it dries. it has pink hexagonal glitter and shimmer. unfortunately, i have a mini, which doesn't have star glitter like the large bottles. even though i was scared of application of textured polishes with a mini brush, there was no problems whatsoever. average drying time was about 20 minutes.

i mentioned recently my indifference when it comes to red polishes. the situation is just a little bit different when the finish is not creme, just add me some glitter and i'm happier!

18. theme friday: fuchsia

the 18th theme friday has finished! i am again one day with the collage, but i wasn't around my computer yesterday. the theme was fuchsia (i didn't participate since it's not my color), and from today till next friday the teme is gold!

prođe i 18ti tematski petak. opet kasnim sa pravljenjem kolaža, doduše, samo jedan dan, ali nisam bila pri kompu na poslu juče. tema je bila fuksija/ciklama (nisam učestvovala jer nije moja boja), a od danas do sledećeg petka tema je zlato!
