picture polish cyan (collaboration shade by chit chat nails)

posle nekoliko lakova iz naftalina, vreme je za nešto potpuno novo. u pitanju je još jedna picture polish blogerska saradnja, u nijansi cyan.

after a couple of oldies, it's time for something brand new. it is another picture polish collaboration shade called cyan.

pretpostavljam da je do sad svako u lakoholičarskom univerzumu upoznat  sa picture polish konceptom da sarađuju sa blogerkama i stvore zaista jedinstvene lakove. moj današnji izbor, cyan, je nastao u saradnji s chit chat nails blogom.

boja je predivna i živa, u pitanju je svetlo plavo/tirkizno visokopigmentovan jelly, sa rasejanim holo česticama. bazna boja je nešto svetlija od fool's gold. potpuno sam zaljubljena u ovaj prelepi lak,

prirodna svetlost:

i guess that by now everyone in the polish universe is familiar with picture polish's concept to collaborate with bloggers and create some truly unique polishes. my choice for today, cyan, was created with the help of the chit chat nails blog.

the colour is so gorgeous and fresh. it is is a light blue/turquoise highly pigmented jelly, with scattered holo particles. the base colour is just slightly lighter than for fool's gold. i am simply in love with it.

dance legend tetraodon (caviar)

dance legend mi je vrlo brzo postao jedan od omiljenih brendova. danas prikazujem tetraodon iz caviar kolecije. inspirisana je ribama, i malo ispod možete videti tetraodon.

dance legend quickly became one of my favourite brands. today i'm showing tetraodon from the caviar collection. it is fish inspired, and a little bit down, you can see tetraodon.

meni je ova kolekcija preslatka. ideja je ista: gusta jelly baza, u ovom slučaju srednje zelena, sa istim crnim šestougaonim i belim kvadratnim mikro šljokicama.

uživo izgleda vrlo interesantno. iako su u pitanju šljokice, je jede nadlak, izgleda baš simpatično i mislim da ću uzeti još neki lak iz ove kolekcije.

prirodna svetlost:

this collecion is really cute. the idea is the same; a saturated jelly base, in this case, medium green, with the same black hexagonal and white square micro glitter.

it looks really interesting in real life. even though it is glittery, it doesn't eat up the top coat. it looks really cute and i'm thinking of picking up another one from the collection.

picture polish ocean (collaboration shade by kelly's kolors)

vratila sam se sa moje druge pauze (čak nisam uspela da proslavim drugu blogogodišnjicu) i nadam se da ću se sad vratiti na staro.

pravi lak za povratak je ocean od picture polish.

i'm back after my second break (i even failed to acknowledge my 2nd blogging anniversary) but i hope i will be back to regular now.

and my perfect comeback polish is ocean from picture polish.

ovo je još jedan pp lak iz njihove kolekcije u kojoj sarađuju sa blogerkama iz celog sveta. razlog zašto je kelly s bloga kelly's kolors izabrala ovakav lak, vidite ovde.

obožavam ovaj lak. bazna boja je jarko plavi/tirkizni jelly sa velikim holo šljokicama. pošto ima jelly završnicu, dva sloja nisu dovoljna za potpunu pokrivenost. ipak, meni se svideo  providnjikav pa sam ga tako i nosila. poslednja slika u postu je s dva sloja. sledeći dan sam bila u žurbi i nisam mogla da promenim lak, pa sam dodala treći sloj, i sve ostale slike su sa tri sloja,

prirodna svetlost:

this is another one from their collaboration shades with bloggers from all over the world. the reason why kelly from kelly's kolors chose this one can be read here!

i simply love it. it is a bright blue/turquoise jelly with large holographic glitter. since it is jelly, two coats are not sufficient for the full coverage, but i kind of liked it that way. the picture at the very bottom is with just two layers. i was in a rush the next day, so instead of taking this one off, i added another coat, so all the pictures are with three coats.

picture polish kryptonite (collaboration shade by more nail polish)

danas je došao red na picture polish kryptonite, koji je definitivno uskočio na moju listu omiljenih.

today, i am showing you picture polish kryptonite, that skyrocketed into my favorites list.

kryptonite je jedan od prvih lakova koje je australijski brend picture polish naparavio u kolaboraciji sa blogerkama (još u 2012), i kreirala ga je devojka iza bloga more nail polish, i njen razlog za što je izabrala zeleni holo lak možete pročitati ovde.

oduvek sam ga želela, ali baš dugo nije bio dostupan i kada se to konačno desilo, nisam ni sekundu razmišljala da li da ga naručim. sastoji se iz visoko pigmentovane jelly tamnozelene baze sa nepravilnim holo česticama koje pp pravi savršeno. takođe, suši se glatko, nema neravnina i samim tim ne jede nadlak. prelep je i stvarno mi je novi favorit.

prirodna svetlost:

kryptonite was in one among the first polishes that australian brand picture polish made in collaboration with nail bloggers (back in 2012), and it was the choice of the girl behind more nail polish blog, and her reasons for creating it can be read here.

i always wanted it, but it was out of stock for a long time so when i saw that it's available, i didn' t think for a second. it is consisted of a highly pigmented dark green base, with chunky holo particles, that pp makes beautifully. it also dries glossy, no gritty finish here, and it's not a top coat eater. it is gorgeous, i simply adore it.

essence choose me! (colour& go 38)

choose me! je bio moj omiljeni essence lak. jedini razlog zašto sam uzela nyx sea of cortez je jer sam konačno mogla opušteno da mažem choose me bez straha da ću ga potrošiti.

choose me! was my favourite essence polish. the only reason i got nyx sea of cortez is because i finally could wear this one without the fear of emptying it!
 

ispostavilo se da mu je nyx sea of cortez skoro identičan (u stvari, oba su "kopije" zoya charla) tako da, sve što sam napisala za nyx važi i ovde. slike su iz dve različite prilike, jer sam prvi put zaboravila slike u zatvorenom. u stvari, ovaj poslednji put, lak mi je bio već gotov tako da sam na desnoj ruci imala nyx, a razlika se nije mogla primetiti!

ne mogu da nosim ovaj lak a da ne pomislim na more i sirene. baza je plavkasto/petrolej žele, sa zlatnim ljuspicama i zelenim šimerom. iako je prelep, malo me nervira što ovim lakovima treba tri sloka, pa čak i tad, linija nokta ume da se providi. ipak, toliko mi je drag ovaj tip laka da ću uzeti i charlu kad se nyx približi svom kraju.

prirodna svetlost:

it turned out that nyx sea of cortez is it's exact dupe (or, i should say, both of them are dupes for zoya's charla), so all that i wrote about nyx, applies here. i'm posting pictures from two different occasions, since the first time i didn't make indoors pics. actually, that time i was already short on the polish, so i wore nyx on my right hand, and the difference was unnoticeable!

you can't wear this polish without thinking of mermaids! the base colour is bluish/tealish jelly with golden flakies and green shimmer. while it is pretty gorgeous, it's annoying that both of these polishes need three coats, and even with that, nail line can be visible. nevertheless, i plan to get charla too, once nyx approaches it's end.

picture polish lagoon (collaboration shade)

kada sam planirala drugu narudžbinu koja je uključivala i picture polish lakove, znala sam da želim nekog iz njihovog širokog spektra plavaca, ali mi je bilo baš teško da se odlučim. na kraju, lagoon mi je izgledao najinteresantnije, i znam da sam donela pravu odluku.

when i was planning my second order that included picture polish, i knew i wanted one of quite a few blues, but it was so hard to choose one. in the end, lagoon was the one that looked the most interesting to me, and now i'm sure i made the right choice.

picture polish je australijska kompanija koja je došla na odličnu ideju da kontaktiraju najpoznatije blogerke i da im, u saradnji sa njima, naprave lakove. lagoon je kreacija sam, čiji blog se zove fashion polish. njihov opis lagoon:""tirkizni jelly sa rasejanim holo efektom i suptilnim zelenim  šljokicama."

potpuno sam se zaljubila u ovj lak. bazna boja je savršena, sviđa mi se i rasejani holo jer mu daje dodatni bling, ali me najviše oduševljavaju tirkizne šestougaone šljokice koje izgledaju kao da su zakopane duboko, skoro pa u bazi. iako je jelly, pokrivenost je savršena. začuđujuće, mislim da mi je još lepši u hladu.

pošto prvi put predstavljam picture polish lak (iako sam isprobala sve koje imam), moram da kažem da sam baš zadovoljna i formulom i četkicom, a da i ne spominjem koliko mi se sviđaju njihove neobične nijanse.

prirodna svetlost:

people from australian nail polish brand, picture polish, had this great idea to contact the popular bloggers and design a polish for them. lagoon is creation of sam from great blog called fashion polish. their desription: "lagoon is a turquoise jelly holo (scattered) with a subtle smattering of ariel green glitter."

i am completely in love with this shade. the base color is amazing, the scattered holo particles give it a bling, but what i love the most is the turquoise hex glitter that looks buried in the bottom layer. even though it's jelly, the opacity is amazing. what's weird, i think i love it even more in the shade.


since it's first time i'm presenting picture polish (even though i tried all polishes i have), i have to say that i'm impressed with both the formula and brush, not to mention really creative polishes they make.

catrice marylin & me (550)

danas, neočekivano, predstavljam jedan povučen catrice lak, marylin & me.

today, unexpectedly, i'm showing one of the catrice oldies, marylin & me.

desilo se sledeće - namazala sam ovaj lak u nedelju posle posla, nosila ga u ponedeljak, bila potpuno nezadovoljna slikama, izbrisala ih, skinula lak u juče po poslu, standardno namazala nokte lemony flutter-om i pustila da ga upiju. krenula sam da vratim očišćenu bočicu u kutiju, i po prvi put u životu, bočica mi je ispala. pošto ovi postdok stanovi nemaju tepihe, bočica se razbila u milion delova i crveno se slivalo svuda. čišćenje je potrajalo, ali sam rešila da ono malo laka što je preostalo iskoristim da ga opet namažem za poslednju priliku da ga uslikam.

iskreno rečeno, lak je već bio u donjoj trećini bočice. kupila sam ga pre nekoliko godina kad je bila nestašica china glaze ruby pumps, i rešila da rp ne kupujem dok ovog ne potrošim. zbog toga sam ga relativno često mazala.

po meni, ovaj lak je potpuno novogodišnje-božićni. pošto je formula jelly (prava crvena sa šimerom i šljokicama), uvek sam nosila tri sloja, pa nije ni čudo što se brzo trošio. sad kad je ostatak u korpi za smeće, čini mi se da mi je bio draži nego što sam mislila. ako ništa drugo, sad mogu da kupim ruby pumps :)

prirodna svetlost:

the thing is, i applied this polish on sunday after work, wore it on monday, was completely unhappy with photos, deleted them, removed it yesterday after work, regularly applied lemony flutter and let it soak. i cleaned the bottle, went to put it back in the box, and for the first time in my life, dropped it. since these postdoc apartments are carpetless, the bottle broke into million pieces, red spilling everywhere. it took me a while to clean up, and decided to use the little polish that remained to re-apply it for it's last possibility of being photographed.

to be honest, the polish was in the last third of the bottle. i bought this one a few years back, since there was shortage on china glaze ruby pumps, and than decided that i couldn't buy rp until i finish this one, so i would wear it every once in a while.

there is something christmasy in this red jelly with shimmer and glitter. since it is a jelly, i always wore three coats, so it's no wonder i used up so much. now that the remainder is in the trash can, i feel like i liked it more than i knew. oh, well, it seems it's time to buy that china glaze :)

ysl - orange afrique

moja zaljubljenost u ysl lakove se nastavlja, a ovaj put opsednuta lakom orange afrique!

my complete love for ysl nailpolishes continues! this time, i'm obsessing about orange afrique!

ovaj lak sam dugo tražila, pošto mi je falila prava i intenzivna narandžasta nijansa i orange afrique je ispunio sve moje želje. intenzivan je, ali ne na neonski način, i iako je jelly, formula je i više nego neverovatna i maže se kao puter! i završnica me je oborila sa nogu, izgleda baš sjajno iako nemam nadlak.

rešila sam da namažem tri sloja. pošto je jelly, možete da vidite moj čudni prirodni oblik noktiju: na sredini ivice nokta su isturpijani na par mm, a sa strane izgleda kao da imam po dva ogromna bela trougla, da bih mogla da održavam četvrtast oblik. na početku moje opsesije lakovima sam imala ovaj smešni, prirodni oblik ali mi se više sviđa sada.

nešto se čudno dogodilo sa prikazom boja na ovim slikama. nijansa u bočici je identična tome kako lak izgleda uživo, a ta boja je takođe identična boji na noktima. nekakvo čudno prelamanje svetlosti je učinilo da na slikama, nijansa na noktima izgleda crvenije.

i've been searching for this polish for a while now, since i really wanted a bright, vibrant orange shade and this one fulfilled all of my wishes. it is intense but not in a neon-y kind of way, and even though it's jelly, the formula is beyond amazing and it applies like butter! and shine, look at that shine, and i'm not wearing a top coat!

i decided to do three layers this time. since it is a jelly, you can see how weirdly shaped my nails are: at the middle of the nailline,  i filed at to just a mm or two, but on sides i't like i have two giant triangles in order to keep the shape rectangular. at the beginning of my nail polish obsession, i had this funny natural shape, but now i prefer it this way.

there's something weird going on with the color in the photos. the shade in the bottle is pretty much how it looks like in real life, and it is identical to the color on the nails, but some weird light refraction makes the nails look redder.

nyx girls: sea of cortez ngp 200

skoro sam stajala ispred police sa nyx lakovima po prvi put, i pošto ih nisam očekivala, a ni znala da li ću se vratiti u radnju, nisam mogla da napravim istraživanje. uzela sam tri laka, i dva od njih odmah zamenila za druge. razlog: shvatila sam da kada otkrijem neki brend, uvek se hvatam za boje koje već imam. lak kog nisam zamenila je predivni sea of cortez (nemam informaciju kojoj kolekciji pripada).

i recently stood in front of a nyx counter for the first time, and since i didn't have the time to do the research because i didn't know if i'll be back in the shop, i took three polishes and immediately returned and exchanged two of them :D. the reason: i finally realized, when i discover a brand, i always go for the same colors i already own. but, one that i didn't exchange is magnificent sea of cortez (i can't find an info about the collection).

u stvari, on me je odmah podsetio na essence-ov choose me, jedan od mojih miljenika prema kome se ophodim kao prema svetom gralu. mazala sam ga samo dvaput, u strahu da ga ne potrošim jer je povučen.

sea of cortez je više nego savršen. baza vuče na žele stranu, plavo-petrolej tona, puna zlatnih flekica i zelenog šimera. komplikovano, zar ne? za duže nokte, preporučujem tri sloja, za slučajeve kao što je moj dovoljna su i dva. formula i četkica su dobri, i pošto je ovo moj prvi suret sa nyx girls lakovima, utisak je odličan!

sviđa mi se način na koji se boja menja u zavisnosti od osvetljenja. plava preovladava na prirodnoj svetlosti, dok zelena vodi na veštačkoj!

prirodna svetlost:

the thing is, i was immediately reminded of essence choose me, one of my favourites that i treat like a holy grail. i wore it only twice because i'm scared i'll run out, since it's discontinued.


sea of cortez is beyond amazing. the base is leaning toward jelly side, with the teal-blue color packed with gold flakes and green shimmer. complicated, isn't it? for longer nails, i suggest three coats, otherwise, like in my case, two is enough. formula and brush are good, it's my first contact with nyx girls polishes, and impression is great!

i love the way the color changes with lighting. it leans toward blue in natural light, while green shimmer leads the way in artificial!

zoya roxy (masquerade)

sećam se kad sam uzela roxy, neki zoya lakovi su bili na rasprodaji i nisam mogla da odolim da ga uzmem, iako nikad nisam videla svočeve. odmah sam ga uveče namazala, i bila sam malo razočarana i nisam shvatila celu famu oko tog laka kada je originalno izašao u "masquerade" kolekciji iz 2006. ali, kada sam ga videla sutradan na prirodnom svetlu, zaljubila sam se.

i remember when i got roxy, it was on sale and i couldn't resist getting it even though i never saw the swatches. i painted my nails in the evening, and i was a bit underwhelmed and didn't quite get the hype it got in the blogging community when it initially came out in the ancient "masquerade" collection. but then, i saw in in natural light and fell in love.

jedna od stvari koja mi se sviđa kod zoya lakova je ta što imaju prilično realne slike bočica i opise na njihovom sajtu. ovo piše za roxy: "proizna ljubičasta baza sa crvenim tonom sa gustim svetlo ljubičastim šljokicama."


baza je prilično pigmentovani ljubičasti sorbet sa magenta šljokicama. definitivno su potrebna tri sloja za potpunu pokrivenost, ali je formula prilično dobra. problem je, što sam ja prilično nestrpljiva kad treba da dodam i treći sloj, što se vidi iz moje ne tako savršene aplikacije. u svakom slučaju, nokti mi izgledaju slatko i sirupasto!

prirodna svetlost:

one thing i like about zoya polishes, is that thay have pretty accurate promo pictures of the bottles and descriptions on their website. this is what they wrote abot roxy: "a sheer red-toned purple base loaded with bright purple glitter. a must-have shade for any rock star or glamour girl."

the base is actually quite pigmented purple jelly with magenta glitter. it needs three coats for complete opacity, but the formula is quite nice. the problem is, i get impatient when i have to add a third layer, which can bee seen in my imperfect application. nevertheless, i find it looks so yummy and syrupy!


natural light:

essence glamorous life (colour&go 91)

kupila sam essence 91 glamorous life iako nije moja standardna boja pošto mi je izgledao primamljivo na polici. prvi put kad sam ga namazala, izgledao mi je čudno na noktima pa sam ga skinula a da nije izdržao ni jedan dan. razlog za to je što je tad bio početak proleća i moj ten je i dalje bio vampirski beo. sada kad sam uhvatila nešto sunca, izgleda mnogo bolje!

i bought  essence 91 glamorous life even though it's not my usual color because it looked so yummy in the bottle. but, the first time i had it on, it looked weird on me so i took it off after less than one day. the reason why i was so unhappy with it is probably because i bought it in the beginning of spring, when i was still so horribly pale. now that i have some color on me, i like it much more!

boju nije lako opisati. recimo da je to hladna malinasto crvena jelly osnova sa roze staklastim šimerom koji na noktima izgleda srebrnkasto. komplikovano, zar ne, ali predivno! formula je nešto ređa, što se i očekuje od želea, ali se nanosi lako (ja sam generalno zadovoljna essence formulom). šljokice su baš sitne, tako da ne ostavljaju grubu teksturu na noktima i oni su glatki i bez nadlaka. takođe, lak je visokog sjaja pa nadlak nije neophodan ali ja ne mogu da se zamislim bez BTGNTS. čak mi se i sviđa što je malo prozirniji, jer se šimer nazire kroz sve slojeve laka, i nije koncentrisan samo na gornjem sloju.
prirodna svetlost:

the polish itself is not so easily described. it is a cooled raspberry red jelly base with pink glass flecks that look silvery on nails. complicated, right? but gorgeous! formula is a bit on the thin side, which is expected for jellies, but the application is easy, as it usually is with essence polishes. the glass flecked glitter is quite fine, so it doesn't leave textured feel even without top coat. also, it is quite shiny on its own,  but i can't imagine not wearing top coat. i actually like that it's sheer, because the glass fleck somehow "jump out"  through all the coats.

dior 118 acapulco

dior 118 acapulco je drugi lak kog sam uzela iz dior-ove summer mix kolekcije (o lagoon sam pisala ovde).

dior 118 acapulco is another polish i got from the dior's summer mix collection (i wrote about lagoon here).

moram da priznam da žutu boju nisam podnosila i nisam imala ništa žuto ne samo među lakovima, nego i od odeće. i onda, pre godinu-dve mi je nešto kliknulo i sad je obožavam!
znala sam da moram da imam acapulco od trenutka kada sam videla promo slike, mada je dior ovaj put fino zeznuo stvar, jer su ove slike dosta drugačije od toga kako lakovi izgledaju uživo.
ova boja je meni sinonim za leto! prava limun žuta, bez ikakvog narandžastog podtona. formula je fantastična, pogotovo kad se uzme u obzir da su žuti lakovi noćna mora po pitanju nanošenja. kod ovog laka, čak i ako vam se učini da se vidi potez četkice, posle par sekundi se izjednači. na laku piše "gloss" i zaista ima visoki sjaj i žele finiš. sa dva sloja sam imala skoro potpunu pokrivenost, i bila bih zadovoljna time, ali nekad kod ovakvih boja mislite da je sve ok, a na slikama vidite da baš i nije pa sam se odlučila za još jedan sloj. postoji blago vidljiva linija nokta, ali to je i očekivano od želea. po prvi put u dugom vremenskom periodu nemam top coat.
prirodna svetlost:

i must admit, i hated yellow and didn't have any polish or any piece of clothing in this color. and then, about a year or two something clicked and i apsolutely love it now!
i new i had to have acapulco when i first saw the promo pics. mind you, this time, dior really did bad job with these because all the colors look quite different in real life.

anyway, this color screams summer! it is a bright lemony  yellow, but a REAL yellow, without any orange undertones. the formula is amazing, especially when you have in mind that the yellows are usually a difficult to apply. here, the formula is somehow self-leveling, even if you have a streak, it disappears after a few seconds. the finish has a high shine on its own (well, it says gloss on the package) and it is a jelly. i had almost a perfect coverage with two layers, but decided to add another one because what looks "completely covered" under a naked eye, it could be different in the pictures. there is a bit of a VNL, but this is expected from a jelly. i didn't use a top coat (this is a first for me!).
