ysl peace green (boho stone)

peace green is this heaven of a polish from last year's ysl boho stone collection.

i am crazy for polishes with iridescent shimmer. they catch my eye from a mile away, doesn't matter which shade. i don't know what is it about them that i find so mesmerizing, but i do. and peace green isn't just iridescent, it is, indeed, green.

well, to be more accurate, it is a light, aqua-type green, and the shimmer appears pink around the edges under appropriate light. for me it is a must-have must-have. formula is a bit on the thin side, but easy to work with.

zoya saint (enchanted)

i'm back from my first holiday this season, and i'm starting with the stunning zoya saint from their holiday collection called enchanted.

saint was a love at first promo picture for me. it is such a complex and unusual polish. the base color is a rather sheer periwinkle, with iridescent magenta/pink shimmer. it changes a lot in different types of light. 

the first coat was sheer, but it had a decent coverage after the second one with no need for a third. it is so unusual and somehow soft.

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.

opi yodel me on my cell (swiss)

moj izbor za danas je prelepi yodel me on my cell iz opi swiss kolekcije iz davne 2010te

my pick of the day is the gorgeous yodel me on my cell from opi's swiss collection back in fall 2010.

rekla bih da je yodel me on my cell nezasluženo zanemaren lak. nekako je udavljen u moru sličnih plavih lakova, ali ja ga smatram odličnim ulovom.

bazna boja je plava koja naginje na tirkiznu, uz dodatak svetlijeg šimera i iridescentnih ljuspica koje mu daju onaj izgled "sjaja iznutra". baš sam bila pozitivno iznenađena kako dobro izgleda. formula je takože solidna, tako da je ovaj lak za mene pun pogodak!

prirodna svetlost:

i have a feeling that yodel me on my cell is such an overlooked polish. somehow it's drowned in the sea of blue polishes, but i think that it's quite a catch.

the base colour is turquoise-leaning blue, combined with lighter shimmer and kind of iridescent small flakies that gives the polish that "glow from the inside" kind of look. i was surprised at how good it looks. formula is also decent and to me, this polish is a winner!

zoya midori (ooh la la)

toliko sam srećna što danas predstavljam prelepu midori, iz zoya-ine ooh la la kolekcije za leto 2009.

i am so happy that today i can show you the gorgeous zoya midori, from their ooh la la collection for summer 2009.

uz ovaj lak sam saznala da midori znači zeleno na japanskom, a svi znamo da od svih mojoh lakova, najviše volim zelembaće!

midori je na zoya sajtu opisana kao "nijansa srednje zelene jabuke, sa žutim podtonom i jakim zlatnim šimerom, savršena za izlazak s drugaricama", i, kao i obično,  prilično dobro su je opisali.

rekla bih da je ova živahna jabučica baš ukusna, još u kombinaciji sa zlatnim šimerom koji je čini gotovo iridescentnom. definitivno je jedinstvena nijansa u mojoj inače ogromnoj kolekciji :D iako je završnica i metalik, potezi četkicom se ne vide i formula je sasvim u redu.

prirodna svetlost:

i discovered that midori means green in japanese, and we all know that i love my green polishes more than any other colours!

midori is described at zoya's website as "glowing medium apple green with yellow undertones and strong gold shimmer. a cocktail-green for a night out with the girls." and once again, they described it perfectly.

i find this vibrant apple green to be so delicious, and almost iridescent with the combination with the gold shimmer. it is definitely a unique polish in my otherwise vast collection :D even though it's metallic, there's no visible brush strokes and formula is good.

chanel intermezzo (fall 2009)

chanel intermezzo je izašao u jesenjoj kolekciji 2009te uz gondolu!

chanel intermezzo was released in their fall collection for 2009 together with gondola.

kada sam zaista počela da shvatam koliko je ovaj lak fantastičan, već ga je bilo skoro nemoguće naći. probala sam da se bar dokopam njemu sličnih, poput opijevog fit for queensland, ali ni njega nije bilo, i jednog flormara, koji takođe nikad nije bio na policama kada sam ga tražila. i onda, potpuno neočekivano, uhvatih intermezzo!

tako je elegantan i lep, sa njegovom mlečno belom bojom, ali ono što ga čini toliko posebnim je iridescentni rozikasti šimer, koji čini da nokti izgledaju osvetljeni iznutra i nisam mogla da prestanem da ih gledam pod različitim uglovima. formula je pomalo retka i ostaju tragovi četkice, tako da su potrebna tri sloja, ali mi se lak sviđa toliko da mu opraštam mane.

namazala sam ga istog trena kad sam ga uzela, kada je još bilo oblačno, tako da se, nažalost, ne vidi sva njegova lepota.

once i really started to realize that this polish is beautiful and amazing, it was already almost impossible to find it! i tried to put my hands on its supposed dupes, such as opi's fit for queensland, but not much luck there, and a flormar one, but it was never in stock. and then, out of a sudden, i found intermezzo!

it is so elegant and classy, with its milky white base, but what makes it special is the iridescent pinkish shimmer, that makes your nails glow. i really couldn't stop looking at my nails, moving them in different angles. the formula is a bit shear and streaky, it needed three coats but i liked it too much to hold this against it.


i wore it immediately when i bought it, when it was still cloudy, so its beauty isn't so obvious.
