picture polish mossy (collaboration shade)

picture polish mossy is one of the newer collaboration shades, this one with russian instagram blogger  @sasshhaaaa.

mossy is definitely my type of shade: a deep (mossy :)) green crelly, with very dense gold holographic flecks. it is such a stunner, so excuse the overwhelming amount of photos, it's just that it looks awesome both in direct sunlight and in shade.

formula is flawless, so definitely thumbs up from me.

color club fashion addict (spring 2009)

wow, i have this nail polish for so long, and i have no idea how come i never properly swatched it, so here it goes: fashion addict from color club's spring 2009 collection.

fashion addict is a very cute polish. it is this soft shade of lavender/light purple, with an awesome linear holo effect. it is on the verge of being a crazy holo, bot not quite there. it looks cute in shade as well.

it is nicely saturated polish, doesn't need a water base and i recently started wearing it quite often.

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,

fun lacquer fashion show (new year 2016)

it's about time i showed yet another fun lacquer awesomeness, this time fashion show from the new year 2016 collection!

fashion show is such a complex polish and a complete chameleon. it is part purple, part blue and part grey and the side it shows heavily depends on the light. i took the direct sun pictures, that turn blue, got inside, it was more greyish, i went outside again and concluded that both indoors and outdoor pictures are faithful.

on top of the shade versatility, we have this dense golden holo glitter. simply awesome! formula is also great, it takes a tiny bit more effort to take it off but it's worth it.

picture polish winter (winter 2015)

danas pokazujem lak iz picture polish kolekcije za prošlu zimu, nazvan winter.

today i am showing a polish from last winter's picture polish collection, and it's called winter!

mnogo mi je smešno kad gledam zaostale postove iz moje prethodne zemlje pre selidbe, kad sam konstatno imala taman ten, u kontrastu sa imenom ovog laka.

winter je prelepa nijansa srednje sive, kombinovan sa jednim od mojih omiljenih finiša. holo ljuspicama. lak je za mazanje i savršen za sezonu džempera!

prirodna svetlost:

i find it so funny to look at my swatches made in my previous country of residence, since i was constantly so tanned, in contrast with the name of this polish!

winter is a gorgeous shade of medium grey, combined with one of my favourite finishes: holographic flakies. it is very easy to work with and it's perfect for sweater weather!

franken stuck on puzzle by shine eye

danas delim još jednu moju franken avanturu i ovaj lak sam nazvala stuck on puzzle.

i am sharing another of my franken adventures and this one is called stuck on puzzle.

potpuno sam oduševljena kako je stuck on puzzle ispao. ne-toliko-crn crn lak sa suptilnim holo šimerom koji nekako trčkara po površini. jedva čekam sledeću franken avanturu!

ovaj lak sam nazvala po jednoj od mojih omiljenih pesama, stuck on puzzle koju je alex turner napisao za film submarine.

prirodna svetlost:

i am so happy how stuck on puzzle turned out. not-so-black black with such a subtle holo shimmer running all over it. i am kind of looking forward to my other frankening adventures!

this one was named after one of my favourite songs, stuck on puzzle that alex turner did for the submarine movie soundtrack.

china glaze fyi (omg)

omg, china glaze kolekcija iz 2009te, je prva kolekcija u koju sam se zaljubila i prva u kojoj sam videla linearni holo lak. tako da sam rešila da počnem godinu sa fyi.

omg, china glaze's collection from 2009, was the first collection i fell in love with, and the first time i saw a linear holo. i am starting off this year with fyi.

kada bih imala priliku, definitivno bih kompletirala ovu kolekciju. jeste da su možda zastareli, i da ima modernijih holosa sa boljom formulom, ali mi je ova kolekcija i dalje nekako posebna.

fyi je najneutralniji lak u ovoj kolekciji. u pitanju je bež nijansa koja može da se utopi u ten, i definitivno nije šljašteći. volim da verujem da mi ide uz ten. kao i kod ostalih omg lakova, ovo je linearni holo sa nešto ređom formulom. kod većine starih holo lakova, bolje je koristiti vodenu bazu.

prirodna svetlost:

if i had an opportunity, i would definitely snatch all of the omg polishes. yes, they might be outdated, yes, there are more modern and better formulated collections, but this one hold a special place in my heart.

fyi is the most neutral polish in the collection. it is beige, tan-like and definitely not to flashy. i like to think it goes well with my skin colour. as all the polishes of omg, it is a linear holo, with a slightly thin formula. as the majority of these old school holos, it works better with an aqua based base coat.

picture polish big bang (collaboration shade)

vreme je za još jednu picture polish kolaboraciju, ovaj put big bang, kreiran u saradnji sa la npa mouton.

it's time for another picture polish collaboration shade, this time big bang, created with la npa mouton.

big bang je kompleksni lepotan! nijansa je blurple sa nešto jačim plavim tonom, i raznobojnim šljokicama. i zaista mislim raznobojnim, jer nema boje koja se ne pojavljuje. lak je dubok, bogat i kompleksan, pravo savršenstvo.

formula je odlična, pokriva u dva sloja i jedan je od mojih omiljenijih novijih pp lakova. na žalost, moje slike ne dočaravaju potpuno njegovu lepotu.

prirodna svetlost:

big bang is such a complex beauty! the shade is blue leaning blurple, with multicoloured, and i mean multicoloured because i can see pretty much everything, glitter. it is deep, rich, complex, in one word, a stunner!

formula is awesome, opaque in two coats, and one of my favourite recent pp shades. my pictures, sadly, don't do it justice.

a england let me in (to emily bronte)

moji kompjuterski problemi su, bar privremeno, rešeni tako da se vraćam i počinjem sa a england lakom let me in, iz to emily bronte kolekcije.

my laptop problems are (temporarily) over, so i'm back and i will stat with gorgeous a england polish let me in, from the to emily bronte collection.

a england je brend poznat po prelepim suptilnim holo lakovima, i let me in nije izuzetak.

ovo je savršena, duboka magenta sa suptilnim rasejanim holo česticama. vrlo je bogat, sa neverovatnom formulom. definitivno pun pogodak.

prirodna svetlost:

to call a england the queen of rich subtle holos is an understatement, and let me in is no exception.

it is a gorgeous deep magenta with a subtle scattered holo particles. it is so rich, with an effortless formula, a real stunner!

natural light:

a england polovetsian dances (russian soul)

danas vam pokazujem još jednog a england lepotana iz njihove russian soul kolekcije, i ovaj put to je polovetsian dances.

i am showing you another a england beauty from their russian soul collection, and this time is polovetsian dances.

obožavam ovaj lak. obožavam! u pitanju je zacrnjena ljubičasta uz malo i blurple uticaja. na žalost, na mojim slikama je više blurple nego uživo. holo efekat je savršen, kao i u ostatku kolekcije.

formula je, kao i uvek, savršena. potpuno preporučujem ovaj lak!

prirodna svetlost:

i love this polish. love it! it is a blackened purple with a hint of blurple. unfortunately, a bit more blurple in my photos than in real life. the holo effect is just perfect, just as in the rest of the collection.

formula is, as usual, flawless. i highly recommend this polish.

natural light:

a england natasha's dance (russian soul)

još jedan lepotan iz a england russian soul kolekcije je natasha's dance.

another beauty from a england russian soul collection is natasha's dance.

nekako je ispalo da sam pre pola godine ponovo čitala rat i mit, kao što radim na svakih par godina, tako da mi je natašin ples vrlo svež  sećanju.

ne znam da li da opišem ovaj lak kao zacrnjeni plavi ili crni sa jakim plavim tonom, ali je definitivno taman. pod suncem se jasno vidi da nije čisto crn. živahni srebrni holo šimer ga čini dosta zanimljivijim.

prirodna svetlost:

funnily enough, i reread war and peace few months ago, as i do every few years, so i clearly remember the natasha's dance part in the book,

i'm not sure whether i should call it blackened blue or blue-toned black,  but it is a dark one. in direct sunlight it is obvious that it's not a pure black. it has this vibrant holographic shimmer that makes it pop out.

fun lacquer midnight nocturne (summer 2015)

f. u. n. lacquer ima fantastične lakove, i jedan od njih je midnight nocturne iz njihove kolekcije za leto 2015.

f. u. n. lacquer has amazing polishes, and one of them is midnight nocturne from their summer 2015 collection.

midnight nocturne je fantastična blurple nijansa sa plavom kao dominantnijom bojom. kao i svi lakovi iz ove kolekcije, i ovaj je pun prelepih zlatnih holo čestica.

lak je odlične formule, vrlo lak za mazanje i sve u svemu, prelep.

prirodna svetlost:

midnight nocturne is an awesome blue-dominating blurple holographic polish. like all of the polishes from this collection, it is filled with amazing gold holo particles.

the shade is amazingly saturated, easy to work with and overall gorgeous.

a england kalinka (russian soul)

uvek jedva čokam nove a england kolekcije, i potpuno sam se zaljubila  u najnoviju, russian soul. prvi kog pokazujem je kalinka.

i am always excited to see a new a england collection, and i fell in love with the newest one, russian soul. the first one i'm showing is kalinka.

kalinka je prosto predivna. nijansa je srebrnkasto/lila, nekako prefinjena i delikatna. holo efekat nije zaslepljujuć ali je i dalje vrlo, vrlo vidljiv. izvinjavam se za broj slika, ali prosto nisam mogla da odolim.

formula je, kao i uvek, besprekorna i lak je savršen i vrlo nosiv, rekla bih da ide uz sve. izgleda odlično čak i u senci, što možete da vidite na poslednje dve fotografije.
natural light:

kalinka is simply gorgeous, it is a silvery lilac, such a delicate and pretty shade. holo effect is not crazy, but it is still very very visible. i apologize for the amount of pictures, but i just couldn't resist it.

formula is, as always, impeccable and the polish is so awesome and universal, it goes great with everything. it looks awesome in shade as well, as you can see in the last two photos.

natural light:

dance legend inhale (wow prism)

wow prism je jedna od mojih omiljenih kolekcija ikad  (i to ne samo od dance legend), a inhale jedan od miljenika među miljenicima.

wow prism is one of my most favourite collection ever (not just from dance legend), and inhale is definitely one of the favourites among the favourites.

inhale je tako savršen lak, ali mi je jasno da nije baš za svakoga, jer većina nelakoholičarki nije baš otvorena da nosi svetlo zeleni holo. ipak, ako ste spremni za takav skok, definitivno je vredan!

inhale je potpuno osvežavajući lak, sa fenomenalnim (wow?) holo efektom.

prirodna svetlost:

inhale is such an awesome polish, but i agree that it can be a bit of an acquired taste. not everyone is willing to wear a bright green holo, but if you are willing to take the plunge, it is definitely worth it.

inhale is such a breath of fresh air, such a pretty green with an awesome (wow?) holographic finish.

natural light:

a england crown of thistles (elisabeth & mary)

vreme je za još jednog a england lepotana, i ovaj put biram crown of thistles iz elisabeth & mary kolekcije.

it's time for another a england beauty, and this time i chose crown of thistles from elisabeth & mary collection.

ne mogu da prestanem da se oduševljavam a england lakovima jer su zaista po mom ukusu. crown of thistles je pelep, svetlo ljubičasti lak sa suptilnim ali vrlo vidljivim holo efektom.

kao i uvek, formula je čisto savršenstvo, i definitivno preporuka s moje strane.

prirodna svetlost:

i just can't stop gushing over a england polishes, because they are always so perfect. crown of thistles is such a pretty bright purple, with a quite subtle but still very vivid holo effect.

as usual, the formula is flawless and definitely a recommendation from me.

natural light:

zoya storm (ornate)

storm je jedan od lakova iz zoyine fantastične kolekcije ornate za zimu 2012.

storm is one of the polishes from zoya's awesome collection ornate for winter 2012.

storm je vrlo jednostavan lak u suštimi, ali to ne umanjuje njegovu izuzetnost. ovo je jedan od lakova koje svako treba da ima u kolekciji: crna baza ispunjena gustim holo česticama.

lak je zaista prelep sa odličnom formulom, kao duboko zvezdano nebo.

prirodna svetlost:

storm is a really straightforward polish, but nevertheless, a stunner. one of those that are a must have in every collection: a black base filled with dense holo particles.

it is beautiful and with a great formula, just like a deep starry night.

natural light:

dance legend cosmic rainbow (new prism)

uvek je dobar trenutak za holo lakove, tako da sam se odlučila za dance legend  cosmic rainbow iz fantastične new prism kolekcije.

it's always good time for a holo, so i'm showing dance legend's cosmic rainbow from the awesome new prism collection.

cosmic rainbow je predivan, jarko ljubičasti linearni holo lak. new prism je definitivno jedna od najboljih kolekcija ludih holo nijansi. izvinjavam se na količini slika, ali prosto nisam mogla da se odlučim.

sa ovakvim l akovima uvek koristim vodenu bazu, tako da ne mogu da komentarišem kako bi se ponašao sa običnom bazom.

prirodna svetlost:

cosmic rainbow is such an awesome bright purple linear holo. new prism is definitely one of the best collections of crazy holos. i apologize for the amount of pictures because i just couldn't make up my mind.

i always use water base with linear holos, so i can't comment on how it works with regulare base coat.

natural light:

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.

natural light:

a england cathy (to emily bronte)

čini mi se da sam zanemarila a england lakove, tako da sam rešila da to promenim uz cathy iz to emily bronte kolekcije.

it's been a while since i wrote about a england polishes, so i'm going for cathy from to emily bronte collection.

ozbiljno sam zaljubljena u cathy. nijansa je tako lepa, tako jedinstvena. cathy je bleda, neobična siva s lila tonom, uz diskretan holo šimer i iridiscentni plavi šimer kao šlag na tortu. konačni utisak je više nego savršen.

formula je malo gušća nego što bi se očekivalo, ali i dalje fina i kremasta.

prirodna svetlost:

i am seriously in love with cathy. the shade is so pretty, so unique. it is a pale, unusual grey with a hint of lillac, combined with subtle holo effect with some iridescent blue shimmer that makes it stand out even more.

formula is slightly thicker than you would expect, but nice and creamy nevertheless.

natural light:

a england whispering waves (heavenly quotes)

prelepi whispeing waves je najnoviji lak u a england heavenly quotes kolekciji.

gorgeous whispering waves is the newest addition to a england heavenly quotes collection.

 whispering waves je neobičan lak u a england porodici. vrlo živahna boja koja zaista odudara od standarnih adininih ideja.

potpuno sam poludela za ovim lakom, a i jasno je zašto. nijansa je svetla, živa tirkizna, sa blagim duohrom efektom i finim holo česticama, onaj a negland stil gde izgleda kao da šimer lebdi na površini nokta.

iako je formula tipično a england savršenstvo, na žalost boji nokte, pa preporučujem dva sloja baze.

prirodna svetlost:

whispering waves is the odd polish in a england family. it is a very vibrant color and it really stands out from adina's usual range.

i am completely in love with it though. and what's not to love! the shade is a bright turquoise, with a slight duochrome effect and a fine holo finish, one of those where it seems like the shimmer is floating on the surface.

while the formula is typically awesome, it is a stainer, so i recommend two layers of base coat.
