nyx purple ink (core)

danas pokazujem treći i poslednji nyx lak koji posedujem, purple ink.

today, i am showing the last out of the three nyx polishes that i own, purple ink.

iako ovaj lak izgleda odlično na noktima, mazati ga je potpuna noćna mora. treba mu bar tri sloja da bi se pokrila brojna ćelava mesta, a formula je istovremeno retka i gusta, i definitivno ne ide uz tanku četkicu.

u svakom slučaju, na kraju izgleda dobro. jer, kako tamno ljubičasti lak sa dovoljno divnog šimera može da stoji loše. ipak, ne verujem da ću više uzimati nyx lakove.

while this polish look gorgeous on the nail, it is a complete nightmare formula-wise. it takes at least three coats to eliminate bald patches, the formula is both runny and thick which definitely doesn't work with the thin brush.

anyway, in the end it looks good. i mean, what is not to like in a pretty dark violet with a lot of shimmer. just, i think i will not buy anymore nyx polishes.

nyx mermaid green (core)

baš je dugo vremena prošlo od kad sam prikazala svoj prvi nyx lak (sea of cortez) od tri koja sam uzela u holandiji pre godinu dana, tako da je vreme za mermaid green.

it's been ages since i swatched first (sea of cortez) out of three nyx polishes that i got in the netherlands a year ago, so it's finally time for mermaid green.

pošto ne mogu da nađem nikakvu informaciju u kolekciji, verovatno je deo stalne postavke.

dok mi je boja zaista prelepa, i mislim da joj mermaid green ime odlično pristaje jer je skoro podjednako plava koliko i zelena, formula je baš loša. prilično je redak i ostavlja dosta ćelavih mesta, tako da mora da se maže u tri sloja, pa čak i tad ponekad da izgleda vodenasto. ipak sam ga dosta nosila, ali prvenstveno na nogama.

since i can't get any other info, i have to guess it is in the core collection.

while i really like the colour, and i think the name mermaid green fits it perfectly, since it is almost as much as green as it is blue, i really dislike the formula. it is thin and leaves a lot of bald spots, so it has to go with three coats, and even then can sometimes look watery. i did wear it quite a few times, but mainly on my toes.

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!

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!
