opi live and let die (skyfall)

skyfall je verovatno još uvek moja omiljena opi kolekcija, i jedan od njenih lepotana je live and let die.

skyfall might still be my favourite opi collection, and one of awesome polishes released there is live and let die.

live and let die je zacrnjena zelena nijansa sa zelenim i zlatnim mikroljuspicama. šimer nije previše gust, taman koliko treba.

formula je takođe odlična, skoro je jednoslojac. kod mene nikad dosta ovakvih nijansi i nadam se da su svi ulovili svoj primerak jer ovaj lak mi je jedan od najlepših ove vrste.

prirodna svetlost:

live and let die is a blackened green shade filled with green and gold tiny glass flecks. this shimmer is not too dense, just the right amount.

the formula is awesome as well, it's almost a one-coater. i can't get enough of these shades and i really hope everyone got their bottle of this polish, because it is one of the prettiest shades of this kind.

picture polish honeymoon (collaboration with manicurator)

volim picture polish kolaboracije s blogerkama, a današnja zvezda je honey moon kog je kreirala manicurator.

i love picture polish collaboration shades, and today's star is honey moon by manicurator.

inspiracija za ovaj lak su bili karibi.


nijansa je prelepa zelena koja podseća na morsku penu, puna srebrnkastih ljuspica i pomalo holo šimera. formula je prilično  dobra. sve u svemu, simpatičan lak.

natural light:

the inspiration for this beautiful polish was the caribbean.

the shade itself is a very delicate and beautiful seafoam green, packed with silvery glass flecks and a bit of scattered holo particles. formula was also nice. all in all, a really cute polish.

natural light:

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).

natural light:

rimmel cutie colada (coctail colour)

cutie colada je deo rimmel kolecije coctail colour, a već sam pokazala apple berry smoothie.

cutie colada is a part of the coctail colour collection of rimmel, and i already showed apple berry smoothie.

ne bih baš da nazovem cutie colada-u promašajem, ali je postao lak kog sam često mazala samo da bih ga što pre potrošila.

kao i apple berry smoothie, u pitanju je prozračni lak sa ljuspicama. boja je jarka, svetla zelena i mislim da ne bi imao potpunu pokrivenost ni sa 10 slojeva. ovde ga vidite sa tri sloja, a malo ispod, kao nadlak preko alessandro black.

prirodna svetlost:

i wouldn't necessarily call cutie colada a disappointment, but it became a polish that i was wearing a lot just in order to finish it as soon as possible.

like apple berry smoothie, it is a sheer glass fleck kind of polish. the color is vivid, bright green and i think it would not be fully opaque even after 10 coats. here you can see it in three layers, and a bit more down, one coat over alessandro black.

a england beauty never fails (heavenly quotes)

danas prikazujem još jedan a england lak, beauty never fails iz heavenly quotes kolekcije.

today i am showing another a england polish, beauty never fails from the heavenly quotes collection.

nošenje a england lakova za mene je nekako kao specijalna prilika, i sa ovim je bilo isto. uvek sam fan zacrnjene bazne boje (ove, tamno, tamno zelena) ispunjene sitnim bronzano/zlatnim ljuspicama.

formula je, kao i uvek, neverovatna, jedna stvar na koju ovek možete da računate sa a england brendom.

prirodna svetlost:

having an a england polish on always feel like a special treat, and this one is no different. i am always a fan of a blackened base colour (here, it's dark, dark green) filled with fine bronze/gold glass flecks.

formula is as impeccable as always, one thing you can count on with a england brand.

natural light:

essence gold old buffy (vampire love)

danas predstavljam jedan praistorijski lak. u pitanju je gold old buffy iz essence vampire love kolekcije iz davne 2011.

this is definitely a blast from the past, because i am showing gold old buffy from essence's limited edition vampire love way back in 2011.

zaista mi nije jasno kako je moguće da nosim jedan lak više puta i na kraju ga predstavim nekoliko godina kasnije. ipak, bolje ikad nego nikad.

volim ovakve lakove: tamna, ali ne potpuno crna baza vrlo gusto ispunjena zlatnim ljuspicama.

gold old buffy je stvarno sladak lak, ali kako sada imam više sličnih, ovaj ima najlošiju formulu od svih. generalno nije loša, samo je malo tečniji i samim tim lošije pokrivenosti.

prirodna svetlost:

i seriously don't know how is it possible for me to wear a polish quite a few times and present it so many years later. well, better late than never.

i like polishes like this: dark but not completely black base densely packed with gold glass flecks.

gold old buffy is a really cute polish, and since i now own more than one that is similar, it is the one with the worst formula. it is not bad, though, just a bit to runny and not with the best coverage.

catrice i wear my sunglasses at night (440)

nastavljam sa starim svočevima koji su čekali svoj momenat da ugledaju svetlost dana, i danas je red došao za catrice oldtajmera, i wear my sunglasses at night.

i am continuing with the old swatches that have been waiting for their time, and today i'm showing a catrice oldie, i wear my sunglasses at night.

ovaj lak je jedan od prvenaca mog lakoholizma, i uz to i moje prvo razočarenje. samo gledajući bočicu, neiskusna kakva sam bila, očekivala sam da bude više poput deborah shine tech 18 (kog zaista moram ponovo da  uslikam). vremenom sam naučila da ga volim zbog onoga što jeste, a to je crni lak sa puno raznobojnih ljuspica.


moj najveći problem sa ovim lakom je da mu se formula vrlo brzo pogoršala. napravila sam grešku da ga nisam odmah slikala, jer je postao istovremeno gust i tečan, i sušio se bez sjaja. slike nisu tako dobre, ali pošto je davno potrošen, a nekako nikad nisam uspela da napravim bolje, šta je tu je.


prirodna svetlost:

i got this one in my nail polish beginnings, and i remember it being my first letdown. from the look from the bottle, unexperienced as is was back then, i expected it to be more like deborah shine tech 18 (that i seriously need to reswatch soon). with time, i learned to appreciate it for what it is, a black polish full with multicolored glass flecks.

my biggest problem with this polish though, is that the formula became funny really quickly. i made a mistake of not swatching it properly immediately. it became at the same time too thick and runny and drying to a dull finish. the swatches are not that good, but since this polish is long gone and i never managed to make them better, this will have to do.

natural light:

illamasqua facet (sacred hour)

nemam puno illamasqua lakova, ali su mi svi koje imam odlični. među njima se izdvaja facet, iz kolekcije sacred hour za jesen 2013.

i don't have a lot of illamasqua's, but the ones i have are amazing. and facet, from the sacred hour collection for autumn 2013,  may be my star.

facet je savršeni blatnjavko, koji naginje više ka braon na svetlu a ka sivoj u senci. ono što ga čini posebnim je fantastična kombinacija sa gustim bronzanim i zlatnim krupnim šimerom. rekla bih da je prilično jedinstven.

jedina mana, iako su formula i aplikacija u redu, mu je pokrivenost. malo je providniji, pa su potrebna ili dva deblja ili tri normalna sloja da sve bude odlično.

prirodna svetlost:

facet is a perfect taupe, leaning more towards brown in sunlight and grey in the shade. it's real beauty lies in the amazing maching with the dense coppery and golden fleckish type of shimmer. i would say its really unique.

one down side, although the formula and application are good, is the opacity. it is on the sheer side, and it takes either two really thick or three thin coats for perfect coverage.

natural light:

a england order of the garter (the legend)

nesrećni order of the garter nekako ostaje zanemaren u a england the legend kolekciji, pošto je tu jedini lak bez holo efekta.

poor order of the garter, it is the only polish in the a england's the legend collection that's not holo, so it get's overlooked!

order of the garter sam dodavala i skidala sa liste želja toliko često da sam na kraju rešila da ga uzmem, samo da se ne premišljam više. inspirisan je bojom lente engleskog najvišeg viteškog reda.

ovo je prelepa srednje plava nijansa sa sitnim svetlije plavim staklastim flekicama. prvi sloj je bio proziran, ali se pokrivenost sredila posle drugog. ovaj lak poseduje sve što se očekuje od a england laka: odličnu čestkicu i dobru formulu.

moram da dodam njihov opis, pošto je uvek poetskim ali zato, za moj talenat, neprevodiv: "majestically deep and filled with truth's purity & strength of will, this royal blue inspires honour with every scintillating pulse."

prirodna svetlost:

order of the garter was being on and off my wishlist for so long that i decided to take it, just to get over with it. it is inspired by the english highest order of chivalry and the color of it's sash.

it is a beautiful medium blue, with small  lighter blue glass flecks. the first coat was a bit sheer, but the opacity was built up nicely after the second. it has everything you expect from an a england polish: a great brush and good formula.

i have to add their description, because it is always so poetic: "majestically deep and filled with truth's purity & strength of will, this royal blue inspires honour with every scintillating pulse."

deborah milano knock out violet (pret a porter 35)

danas se opraštam od deborah milano laka, knock out violet, iz njihove pret a porter linije.

today, i am saying goodbye to deborah milano knock out violet, from their pret a porter line.

kada su u potanju deborah milano lakovi, ima svakakvih primeraka. dosta nijansi je vrlo zanimljivo, ali često formula može da bude problematična. knock out violet je jedan od njihovih najpopularnijih lakova, ali ja nisam baš imala sreće s mojim primerkom.

ovaj lak ima sve što obično volim. bazna boja je tamno ljubičasta, sa plavim i ljubičastim staklastim šimerom. teško se slika, uvek ispada plavlji nego što jeste i mislim da nigde nisam videla potpuno veran swatch.

ja sam bila loše sreće s formulim. bočica mi je sad ispražnjena, i uvek sam se mučila s mazanjem da često nisam htela ni da slikam nokte, misleći da će sledeći put biti bolje. ovaj put sam to morala da uradim, pošto mi je bila poslednja prilika. izgleda da se niko drugi ne žali na formulu, pa je moguće da sam naletela na loš primerak, jer je dosta voden, ostavlja puno ćelavih mesta, nanosi se nejednako i sve u svemu, mazanje je noćna mora. šteta, jer je boja predivna.

prirodna svetlost:

when it comes to deborah milano, it can be hit and miss. they have a lot of interesting colours, but the formula can be problematic. knock out violet is one of the shades that we're most raved about, but it turns out, i wasn't so lucky with my bottle.

this polish has everything i usually love, it is a dark purple base, with purple and blue glass flecks. it is horror to photograph, it always looks bluer than it is, i'm not sure i ever saw a completely faithfull swatch.

i had bad luck with the formula. this bottle is now empty, and i always had problems with application so i didn't even want to photograph the nails, thinking that it will be better next time. now, since it's was my last chance, i had to do it. it seems that nobody else is complaining about the formula, so i guess i just got a bad bottle, but it is runny, a lot of bald spots, application is uneven ad it's a real horror to work with. too bad, since the shade is gorgeous.

rimmel apple berry smoothie (coctail colour)

kada sam bila u poseti dragoj prijateljici u holadniji pre skoro godinu dana, ugledala sam rimmel coctail colour kolekciju koja nije bila dostupna u mom tadašnjem prebivalištu, tako da sam izabrala apple berry smoothie i cutie colada.

when i was visiting my dear friend in the netherlands last year around this time, i saw rimmel's coctail colour collection that wasn't available where i was living, so i picked up apple berry smoothie and cutie colada.

apple berry smoothie se baš čudno slika, što je i razlog da ga prikazujem tako kasno. pretpostavljam da je po samoj bočici jasno zašto mi je privukao pažnju, jer ima dve vrlo bitne osobine: plavo i staklasti finiš.

baš volim ovakve plavce, izgledaju nekako električno i živo. jedina mana mu je prozračnost, ponekad mi se činilo da ni tri sloja nisu dovoljna, ali mi je krajnji izgled ipak odličan.

prirodna svetlost:

apple berry smoothie photographs strangely, which is the reason i'm showing it with such a delay. i guess it is obvious just by looking at the bottle why it caught my eye; it has the keywords blue and glass flecks.

i love this sort of blue, it looks so electric and vibrant. it is sheer, this is the only downside, even three coats sometimes don't look like they're enough, but the overall effect is still great.

butter london jack the lad (holiday 2012)

butter london  jack the lad, iz holiday kolekcije za 2012, je bio moj izbor za doček nove godine.

butter london's jack the lad, from the holiday collection for 2012, was my choice for the new year's eve.

najčešće devojke biraju crvene nijanse za početak nove godine, dok mene zelene najviše uvode u praznično raspoloženje.

ovaj lak je pravi lepotan. nosila sam ga dva puta pre ovog događaja, i nikad nije prošao nezapaženo. opisali su ga kao "neproziran, mahovinasto zeleni lak sa zlatnim, tirkiznim i zelenim mikrošljokicama". po meni, ovaj lak je savršen, oduševljena sam kombinacijom bazne boje i staklastih šljokica.

plašila sam se da neće imati dovoljnu pokrivenost s dva sloja, pa sam dodala i treći, ipak je to bila nova godina i to, ali nije bilo potrebno.

slike su napravljene na veštačkoj svetlosti:

usually, girls like to start the year with a red polish. for me, the green ones are those that put me to holiday mood!

this polish is a true beauty. i wore it two times before this occasion, and it never went unnoticed. it is described as "opaque, moss green shimmer with gold, turquoise, and green microglitter". for me, it really is a stunner. i love the base color and the glass fleck combination.

i was scared that it wouldn't be opaque enough with two layers and added the third one, since it was the new year's eve and all, but it wasn't necessary.

essence - miss universe (colour & go 147)

pisanje o essence miss universe je bilo moja noćna mora! ovaj lak je toliko neverovatan, i spadao je, uz essence promberry, u grupicu koju sam nosila na putovanja, ali nikad nisam bila zadovoljna slikama jer mi se činilo da ne prikazuju njegovu pravu lepotu. pre nekoliko dana san iskapila bočicu, tako da sam morala da konačno izaberem slike.

making a post about essence's miss universe has been a nightmare for me! this polish is so gorgeous, it was one of my go to polishes, with essence promberry, but i was never ever satisfied with the pictures since i thought they couldn't show it's true beauty. couple of days ago, i finished the entire bottle, so i guess i had to pick some of the pics.

bazna boja je duboka plava, puna plavih i petrolej staklastih šljokica. moj jedini problem s ovim lakom je neočekivana prozirnost: tri sloja su neophodna da bi se postigla dubina s kojom izgleda fantastično. ipak, toliko volim ovaj lak da sam mu oprostila taj dodatni sloj jer je konačni rezultat magičan i svemirski.

razmatrala sam kupovinu essie dive bar, jer ih smatraju sličnim, ali kad god gledam njegove svočeve, nekako mi je razočaravajući posle miss universe. šta vi mislite? jedini razlog zašto, za sada, neću opet kupiti mu je jer želim da dam i nekim drugim lakovima šansu, a ne da mažem mu jednom nedeljno!


prirodna svetlost:

the base colour is deep blue full of blue and teal glass flecks. my only problem was the unexpected sheerness-it really needs three coats to reach the amazing level of depth. but, i was so in love with it that i didn't really mind adding another coat, since the end result was magical and space-y.


i considered buying essie dive bar, since they should be similar, but whenever i look at it's swatches, it's somewhat underwhelming comparing to miss universe. what do you think? the only reason i'm not re-buying mu for the time being is because i want to give some other polishes a chance instead of wearing this one once a week!

zoya ivanka (sparkle)

dok sam pregledala slike koje sam prošle nedelje napravila kad sam imala na noktima ivanku od zoye, balavila sam nad njima i žao mi je što ga nisam ponela sa sobom u posetu kući! ova lepota je deo zoyine sparkle kolekcije za proleće 2010.

ok, i was going over my zoya - ivanka pictures, and i was drooling over them and regreted that i haven't brought it for my visit home, since i have urge to wear it again. this beauty is a part of zoya's amazing sparkle collection from spring 2010.

izvor-source

zoyin opis: "svetlucavi sirena-zeleni metalik lak -  prava skupa metalik nijansa za leto!".


ovaj lak je već dugo moja želja, ali sam se ubeđivala da mi ne treba više zelenih lakova. ipak, pre par nedelja sam popustila, i ova kupovina je bila vredna toga! boja je prilično teška za opisivanje: bazna nijansa je svetlosmaragdna, sa zlatnim i svetlozelenim staklastim šimerom i dodatnim sitnim zelenim šimerom. ima i duohrom efekat, za koji se nadam da sam ga dočarala na slikama; može izgledati više žuto ili zeleno u zavisnosti od ugla i svetlosti.

već sam spominjala da volim sve što dolazi od zoye, pa ni ovaj lak nije izuzetak. formula je odlična, kao i nanošenje.

prirodna svetlost:

zoya's description: "mermaid green sparkling metallic. an expensive-looking metallic shade for summer. "

i wanted this one for a long time, but kept convincing myself that i don't need anymore greens. but, a few weeks ago, i succumbed, and it was well worth it! it is a rather complex color to describe - the base is emerald green, with gold and and lighter green flecks and additional green shimmer. it has a duochrome effect, which i hope i managed to capture in some of the pics; it can look more green or yellow depending on the lighting and the angle.


i already mentioned that i love everything by zoya, so this one wasn't an exception. great formula, great application!

opi on her majesty's secret service (skyfall collection)

danas predstavljam opi on her majesty secret service iz skyfall kolekcije, i u ovom slučaju preporučujem da kliknete na slike i tako ih uvećate, da bi se videla cela njegova lepota!

when it comes to opi on her majesty secret service for the skyfall collection, i recommend clicking on photos and thus enlarging them, in order to see it's extraordinary beauty!

opi kaže da ova "mistično-zelena kalajna nijansa zahteva pažnju". moram priznati da do sad nisam znala za nijansu kalaja :D ja ga vidim kao plavičastog brata the world is not enough, i podjednako nezgodnog za opisivanje. boja je hladna čelično plavo-srebrno-siva sa raznobojnim staklastim šimerom, uglavnom zlatnim, roze, zelenim i plavim.
nije previše pigmentovan i potrebna su mu tri sloja, opet kao kod njegovog blatnjavijeg brata, ali se pokrivenost i boja lepo nadograđuju.

dosta devojaka se žalilo na čudnjikav miris, ali moj je imao tipični miris običnog laka.

prirodna svetlost:

opi says that "this misty-green pewter commands attention." i see it as the world is not enough's bluish brother, and similarly difficult to describe. it is a cool toned steel blue-pewter-silver-grey polish with multicolored glass flecks, namely gold, pink, green, and blue.


it is rather sheer and needs three coats, again as its taupe brother :D, but the opacity and color build up nicely.


many girls said that it has a weird smell, but i didn't notice it with my bottle.

essence edward's love (twilight: breaking dawn part 2)

mislim da je krajnje vreme da okačim slike poslednjeg laka iz essence twilight: breaking dawn part 2 kolekcije, edward's love (jacob-a možete videti ovde, a alice ovde).

i guess it's about time to post swatches of the last polish i got from the essence le twilight: breaking dawn part 2, which is edward's love (you can see alice here and jacob here).

začuđujuće, ovaj lak mi je na kraju favorit od tri u kolekciji, iako mi je izgledao najmanje interesantan u bočici. bazna boja je crna, kombinacija kreme i sorbeta, sa srebrnim staklastim šimerom. kao i u slučaku ostala dva laka u ovoh kolekciji, formula je vrlo loša, lak je gust i  ume da "beži", ali se sa dva sloja dobija potpuna pokrivenost.
prirodna svetlost:

surprisingly, this polish turned out to be my favourite of the three, even though i liked it the least in the bottle. it is a black crelly with beautiful silver glass fleck, but again (for this collection), the formula is bad bad bad, thick and goopey at the same time, but it is completely opaque after two coats.

china glaze running in circles (cirque du soleil worlds away collection)

u poslednjih nekoliko nedelja nisam mogla da prestanem da gledam u slike nove china glaze kolekcije,  cirque du soleil worlds away. u nekom trenutku sam izgubila nadu da će ikada stići kod nas, ali, srećom, to se nije dogodilo i pre par dana sam izašla sa  whirled away, it's a trap-eze!, running in circles, hanging in the balance i water you waiting for.

nekako mi se pojavio običaj da za novu godinu nosim zelene lakove, tako da je running in circles bio odličan izbor, ali se na kraju pokazalo da je ovaj lak uskočio na listu mojih omiljenih za 2012.

in the last few weeks, i was completely in love with the swatches of the china glaze's cirque du soleil worlds away collection, and almost lost hope that it would ever come to serbia. luckily, i was wrong, and i got my hands on whirled away, it's a trap-eze!, running in circles, hanging in the balance and water you waiting for.

 i have a habit of wearing green on my nails for new year's eve, and running in circles was not only a perfect choice, but i ended the year wearing what seems to be one of five of my favourite polishes of 2012.

već sam nekoliko puta spomenula koliko volim zelembaće, ali ovaj lak je zaista poseban. bazna boja je smaragdno zelena, sa svetlije zelenim staklastim šimerom koji se presijava na zlatno. formula je zaista fantastična, lak se baš lako nanosi i pokrivenost je iznenađujuće potpuna nakon dva sloja. lak ima visoki sjaj i bez nadlaka (kog sam ja morala da stavim jer volim da sam potpuno funkcionalna par minuta posle mackanja).

oduševljena sam kako sve svetluca, i planiram da ga nosim duže od mojih standardnih 24h. žao mi je da su ovi dani prilično oblačni, ali mislim da sam uspela da prikažem koliko je ovaj lak neverovatan!
prirodna svetlost:

i said it already, i love my greens, but this one is soooo special! the base colour is emerald green, packed with lighter green flashing gold glass flecks. the formula is really amazing, it applied beautifully and everything is surprisingly opaque after two layers. the finish is pretty shiny even without topcoat (of coarse, i had to add it since i like to be fully functional with my hands immediately after applying the polish).


i love how sparkly this looks, and i intend to wear it longer than my usual 24h :) too bad it's cloudy these days, but i hope i managed to show it's gorgeousness!

essence jacob's protection (breaking dawn le)

već sam predstavila alice had a vision-again lak iz breaking dawn kolekcije, a sad je vreme za jacob's protection.

i already reviewed the first polish from the breaking dawn collection, alice had a vision again, and now it's time for jacob's protection.

znala sam već iz prvih slika, a kasnije i po bočici,  da će mi ovaj lak biti omiljeni u kolekciji, i tako je i bilo. boja je, na neki način, tamno plava verzija alice. bazna boja je tamno plava, skoro crna, puta plavih, zelenih i zlatnih staklastih čestica. formula je opet bila loša, u kombinaciji sa debelom četkicom, ali ipak bolja nego kod alice. sledeći put kad kad ga budem nosila, dodaću nekoliko kapi razređivača.
prirodna svetlost:

judging from the promo pictures, and the bottle itself, this one was my first pick from this collection, and rightfully so. it is, in a way, a dark blue counterpart of alice. the base color is almost-black blue, full with blue, green and gold glass flecks. the formula is once again bad, in combination with the wide brush, but a little better than in alice. i will add a few drops of thinner next time i wear it. 
natural light:

essence alice had a vision -again (breaking dawn part 2)

alice had a vision-again je jedan od lakova iz essence twilight breaking dawn part 2  kolekcije (koliko ime!), koju sam delimično predstavila ovde.

alice had a vision-again is one of the polishes from the essence twilight breaking dawn part 2 (what a long name!) le, that i partially swatched here.

u principu, ova kolekcija je mogla biti genijalna. ništa ne može više da me oduševi kao kolekcija sa tri skoro crna laka sa šimerom, ali, na žalost, ostala sam razočarana.

ovaj lak je tamna, skoro crna ljubičasta, puna plavog, svetlije ljubičastog i zelenog staklastog šimera. formula je jedna od najgorih sa kojim sam se susrela. lak je pregust a četkica široka i čudno sečena (kao loša kopija diorove), i u kombinaciji su baš nesrećni. iako je formula gusta, i posle dva sloja ostaju ćelava mesta. nosila sam ovaj lak 2 ipo puta. kada sam ga prvi put namazala, sve je izgledalo očajno pa sam ga odmah skinula, namazala jednu ruku opet, i pošto opet nisam bila zadovoljna, skinula sam ga. posle nekih nedelju dana sam opet probala i situacija je bila bolja, mada sam ipak namazala tri sloja. iako je krajnji rezultat predivan i boja izgleda izuzetno, poklonila sam ga jedno dragoj lakoholičarki, u nadi da će ona biti srećnija ili bar strpljivija.
prirodna svetlost:

in principle, this collection could've been a killer. give me a three dark based glass flecked shimmer polishes collection,  and i'll jump with joy. but, overall, i am disappointed.

this one is the deep almost-black purple base, full with blue, lighter purple and green flecks. the formula is one of the worst ones i ever applied. it is thick with a wide, weirdly cut brush (a bit of an ill made copy of dior's brush), which is bad when they are combined. even though the formula is thick, it leaves bald spots even after two coats. i wore this polish 2 1\2 times, the first time i wore it, it looked like a mess, so i removed it immediately and started again, but it wasn't much better. i tried again about a week later, this time the result was somewhat better, but i went with three coats. even though the end result is amazing, i decided to give it to another polish addict, in hope she'll be more lucky or patient!

nisam baš ubeđena da je magenta pravi opis ove boje. za mene je to više malinasta crvena sa magenta-roze podtonom i zlatnim i roze staklastim šimerom.  baza je mešavina kreme i želea, tako da, iako prvi sloj izgleda dosta prozirno, sa drugim se dobije potpuna pokrivenost. formula je standardno dobra. da se ovaj lak pojavio pre ovog leta, verovatno bih ga zaobišla, ali pošto sam baš volela essence glamorous life, na koji me ovaj lak podseća, ušao je na spisak i stvarno sam zadovoljna kako je ispao.

i'm not quite sure that magenta is the accurate color to describe this polish with.  to me, it's more of a raspberry red  base with hint of magenta\pink with pink and gold glass flecks. the base is a creme-jelly combo, so even though it seems sheer after one coat, it gets full opacity with second. the formula is standardly good. i would probably pass on this polish if it appeared before this summer, but since i had great experience with essence glamorous life that this opi reminds me of, i had to get it and i really, really like it.
