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.
