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.

natural light:

picture polish sky (light shades)

one of my rare 2017 purchases (for now) is actually an ancient picture polish shade, sky, from their light shades collection in 2007.

it is a really special light blue pastel, really resembles the sky but in its a bit murkier mood. the formula is nice, especially for an old pastel, but it needs three coats. nevertheless, they run smoothly so i don't see it as a bother.

picture polish honey dew (limited edition)

spring is here, and it's time for fresh shades. honey dew is a really old picture polish shade from 2009.

i am very happy i own honey dew, even though i am on the verge of having too many mint polishes (if that is even possible!)

honey dew is such a vibrant pastel mint, on the verge of becoming neon. on top of being gorgeous, it has a great formula, especially for a pastel polish. definitely a perfect spring/summer shade!

i used base (china glaze strong adhesion) + two layers of polish + top coat (essence btgnts).

dior porcelaine (trianon)

danas je na redu prelepi porcelaine iz dior-ove kolekcije trianon za proleće 2014.

i am showing today the gorgeousness that is porcelaine from dior's trianon collection for spring 2014.

zaista sam se radovala ovom laku. nijansa je prelepa svetlo plava u koju sam poslednje vreme postala zaljubljenik.

iskreno, očekivala sam lošu formulu, tako da sam se baš prijatno iznenadila. prilično je samoizjednačujuć sa vrlo malo vidljivih poteza četkice. prvi sloj mi je bio normalne debljine, dok je drugi bio malo deblji i time sam dobila odličnu pokrivenost. definitivno odličan izbor.

senka:

i was really looking forward to this polish. it is a really pretty light blue shade that i've lately became a big fan of.

i expected a terrible formula, to be honest, and got pleasantly surprised. it is quite self leveling and with little streaking. i went one normal and second thicker coat, and got great coverage. definitely a great buy.

shade:

dance legend velvet 651

danas pokazujem još jedan lak iz raznovrsne dance legend kolekcije velvet, i ovaj put je to broj 651.

today i am showing another polish from the versatile dance legend velvet collection, and this time it's number 651.

izvor/source

jedina sličnost 651 sa lakom kog sam već pokazala, 648, je mat finiš. nijansa 651 je prelepa mešavina plave i ljubičaste, tzv. periwinkle.


rešila sam da koristim vodenu bazu jer ona uvek bolje sarađuje sa mat lakovima. formula je krečasta, ali ne i nemoguća i nisam imala problema s aplikacijom i suši se prilično brzo.

prirodna svetlost:

the only thing 651 has in common with 648 that i already showed, is the matte finish. the colour on this one is periwinkle, a beautiful interplay of blue and purple.

i decided to use aqua base, since it is supposed to work better with complicated formulas. it is a bit chalky, but i had no serious issues and it dried pretty quickly.

natural light:

dior sunwashed (tie dye)

tie dye je najnovija dior limitirana kolekcija za leto, a sunwashed je moj jedini izbor.

tie dye is dior's limited edition for the summer, and sunwashed is my only pick.

žuti lakovi su mi slaba tačka, ali obično biram one sa jačim mango podtonom. zbog toga, ova nijansa, meka, limunkasta žuta je definitivno jedinstvena u mojoj kolekciji.

nisam imala neke specijalne probleme u mazanju. nije da je lak sa najboljom formulom, ali nema vidljivih poteza ćetkicom. tu je i poznati dior-ov mikrošimer. rekla bih da sam već previše pocrnela za ovu nijansu, ali sam se ipak navikla na njega.

prirodna svetlost:

i do have a soft spot for yellow polishes, but i usually opt for those with more mango undertones. therefore, this one, a soft, lemony yellow, is something unique in my collection.

i had no particular problems applying it. granted, it's not the polish with a smoothest formula, but i didn't experience any brushstrokes. there is some of that hidden micro shimmer that dior is known for. i think my skin is already a bit to tanned for this shade, but i grown used to it.
