picture polish lime light (neon shades)

i am not so much into neons, but i have a soft spot for greens, so i had to take picture polish lime light from their revamped neon shades collection.

lime lite originally appeared in 2013, but got a rebirth in 2016. and i am happy for that! it is an awesome, bright green. formula is very decent for this type of polish, the first coat is a bit sheer but it builds up nicely. there are no bold spots or visible brushstrokes. 

it is such a great summer/beach polish and i got it just in time, before the summer ends!

opi you are so outta lime (neon)

u opi-ju su 2014te izbacili neon kolekciju, i moj jedini izbor je bio you are so outta lime.

in 2014 opi launched a neon collection, and i purchased only you are so outta lime.

dugo sam želela zeleni neon lak, i you are so outta lime je izgledao kao savršen izbot.

u pitanju je srednje zelena, istovremeno nekako i jarka i zamućena. formula je na početku bila nekako neujednačena ali se na kraju sve sredilo. rešila sam da ga nosim bez belog laka ispod i nemam zamerki na izgled.

oblačan dan:

i wanted someting green and neon-y for a while, and you are so outta lime looked like exactly what i needed.

it is a medium green, somehow bright and muted at the same time. formula was a bit streaky to start with, but it evened out nicely. i decided to wear it with out a white polish beneath, and i have no regrets.

china glaze turned up turquoise (ink)

ovi neverovatno vrući dani savršeno idu uz china glaze turned up turquoise iz njihove ink kolekcije za leto 2008, čiji je deo i klasik, flying dragon.

these excruciatingly hot days are perfect for wearing china glaze's turned up turquoise from their ink collection for summer 2008, that also gave us a classic in flying dragon.

odustajem od duge misije da uhvatim tačnu količinu tirkiznosti ovog laka, kao i mnoge druge napaćene duše pre mene. prikazaću dva najrazličitija rezultata, pri čemu je prvi bliži realnosti ali i dalje ne sasvim veran.

dok je mint postao moja prilično nova opsesija, tirkizni lakovi su bili na vrhu moje liste baš dugo. tut je živahan i morski a uz to neon i mat. taj efekat mi se toliko sviđa da za ovih više od godinu dana što ga imam, još se nisam zainteresovala da mu dodam nadlak.

moje iskustvo s neoncima nije veliko, ali moram reći da je formula kod ovog sasvim pristojma. prve dve slike su stare oko godinu dana, dok su ostale novije.

prirodna svetlost:

i give up on the long mission to capture the exact amount of turquoiseness of this shade, like many more poor souls before me. you can see selected two results, with the first one being more accurate, but still not right on the spot.

while my mint fascination started just recently, i am obsessed with turquoise for a long time now. and this one is vibrant and aqua-like while being neon and matte. i love it like this so much, that even though i own it at least for a year now, i still wasn't tempted to see how it looks with a top coat.

my experience with neons is not really vast, but i have to say that the formula of this one is not problematic at all. first two pictures are from a year ago, the rest are recent.

10th theme friday (neon!) on ana.rs is finished, from tomorrow till next friday we will enjoy the beauty of blue polishes (my fav color)!

  

 moj izbor je bio china glaze - sun worshiper opisan ovde.

my choice was china glaze - sun worshiper, as desribed here.

china glaze sun worshiper (poolside)

china glaze sun worshiper je iz njihove neon pool side kolekcije, i moj prvi neon ikad. bilo je malo problema oko nanošenja, ali nije bilo toliko strašno koliko sam se plašila. ne mogu da prestanem da gledam u nokte, ali ne znam da li sam oduševljena ili zgađena :). ovo je moj izbor za tematski petak: neon.

sun worshiper from the china glaze's poolside collection is my first neon ever. the application wasn't the easiest, but it wasn't as hard as i expected. i can't stop looking at my nails, but i have problem deciding if i am amazed or repulsed by them :). also, this is my choice for theme friday, which is: neon!

 počela sam sa bazom (opi start to finish), jednim slojem maybelline mini colorama-french white i dva sloja SW, bez top coata da pokušam da uhvatim blago mat finiš. takođe se vide potezi četkice. nažalost, boju je teško uhvatiti i u prirodi je dosta intenzivnija i više narandžasta nego žuta.

prirodna svetlost:

i started with one base coat (opi start to finish), one layer of maybelline mini colorama-french white and two layers of SW, without a top coat in order to try and capture it's mostly matte finish. the brushstrokes are still quite visible. unfortunately, it is har do capture the real color, it is much more intense and more on the orangy side than yellow.
