ilamasqua - mottle (I'mperfection)

pošto je illamasqua skoro stigla u moj grad ("moj" još koju nedelju), i i'mperfection kolekcija je bila među standardnom ponudom, morala sam da uzmem nešto. favoriti su mi bili mottle i fragile, i jedva sam se odlučila za ovog drugog, ali je već bio rasprodat pa sam uzela poslednju bočicu mottle!

since illamasqua recently arrived in my city (well, mine for a few more weeks), and the i'mperfection collection was available, i had to get one. my favourites were mottle and fragile, i finally decided on latter but it was sold out so i took the last mottle!

ova kolekcija je inspirisana šarama na ptičjim jajima. mnogo volim ovaj lak i postao je mi je jedan od dražih u kolekciji. bazna boja je pastelna, skoro pa mint zelena, sa crnim šljokicama različitih oblika (okrugli i šestougaoni) i veličina. sviđa mi se ovaj pegavi efekat, posebno zbog dubine bazne boje.

iako je šljokičav, formula mu je fantastična, bez ikakvih problema u nanošenju. pošto nemam ni na šta da se požalim, prelazim na slike!

this collection was inspired by birds' eggs. i love this polish, it really holds a special place in my collection. the base is pastel, almost mint green creme, with black glitter in various shapes (round and hex) and sizes. i love this speckled effect, but also the depth of the base colour.

even though it's glittery polish, the formula was superb, no problems with applications, i really have nothing to complain about, so on to the pictures!

zoya - liberty (pixie dust)

vreme je za još jedan zoya pixie dust lak, ovaj put je to predivna liberty iz letnje kolekcije.!

it's time for another zoya pixie dust polish, this time, gorgeous liberty from the summer collection.

malo je falilo da propustim ovaj lak. mislila sam da mi je opi get your number dovoljan plavi teksturac, ali sam videla liberty na noktima jedne lakoholičarke (hvala, t.), i pošto je bila subota i nisam imala vremena da se vratim u ultrasun, a ona i a. su ionako išle tamo, zadužila sam ih da mi je ipak uzmu i konačno je dobila prošle nedelje.

zoya je opisuje kao plavi šećerni sjajni lak, što i jeste! nijansa je predivna srednje plava, sa srebrnkastim šimerom i predivnom teksturnom završnicom.  bilo bi mi žao da sam je propustila, jer stvarno izgleda fantastično, kao prava vilinska prašina. nisam bila kući kad sam ga slikala, tako da ovaj put nema slika s nadlakom ali ću ih dodati kad ga budem sledeći put nosila.

prirodna svetlost:

i almost missed this one. i thought that opi's get your number is enough for me in the blue texture range, but i saw it on the nails of a fellow nail polish addict (tnx, t.) and since it was saturday and i had no time to return to ultrasun, i gave her and a. money to buy it for me, and it finally came to my hands last week.

zoya describes it as a blue sugary sparkle, which it really is! the shade is medium blue, just perfect, with silvery shimmer and the gorgeous textured finish. i would be really sorry if i missed it, because it really looks amazing. true pixie dust, if you ask me! i wasn't at home when i took the photos, so no pics with a top coat this time, but i'll add them next time i wear it.

chanel - bel-argus (l’eté papillon de chanel)

današnji tematski petak je posvećen chanel lakovima, i stvarno sam htela da izaberem neki lak koji nisam skoro nosila, ali srce je želelo bel argus, kog sam mazala čim sam ga ulovila u nemačkoj.

pretpostavljam da je svima već poznato da je dobio ime po leptiru lysandra bellargus, ali mi je zanimljivo da je samo mužjak ovako plav, dok su ženkina krila pretežno braon.

this theme friday is about chanels. i really tried to choose a polish that i haven't worn that recently, but my heart wanted bel-argus, although i wore immediately after i bought it in germany.

i guess it's a known fact that it's named after lysandra bellargus butterfly, but it's only the male that is entirely blue; the top part of the female's wing is brown.

kada mi je na noktima bel argus, mislim da je lepši od azure, i obrnuto. ovo je još jedno plavo savršenstvo, ali ovog puta nijansa je skoro električno plava, kao duboko more. duohrom efekat je nešto blaži u poređenju sa azure, ali su isto tako slabiji i vidljivi potezi četkicom.

ne mogu da dočekam da ga nosim pored vode, danas sam zbog njega na poslu ceo dan sanjarila o moru!

prirodna svetlost:

when i wear bel argus, i prefer it to azure, and vice versa. it is another blue gorgeousness, this time, almost electric, deep sea blue metallic. it's duochrome effect is a bit toned down comparing to azure; also, the brushstrokes are less visible!

i can't wait to wear it near the water, it made me daydream of sea today at work!

essence - caribbean sea (show your feet 01)

ovo je još jedan oproštajni post, ovaj put predstavljam essence - caribbean sea iz show your feet kolekcije.

this is another good bye post, this time, it's essence - caribbean sea from show your feet collection.

ovaj lak sam kupila prošlog leta, priznajem, najviše zbog imena. volela bih da mogu ovo da potvrdim iz iskustva, ali meni stvarno izgleda kao karipsko more. nijansa je orava morska plava sa zelenim podtonom, dok je završnica istovremeno i šimerasta, frosty i blago duohrom, nažalost, sa dosta vidljivih poteza četkice.

essence je već imao lak istog imena, moj je druga verzija. on je slabije pigmentovan i definitivno su mu potrebna tri sloja, što i čini poteze četkicom dosta izražajnijim, ali sam baš uživala noseći ovu bojicu da mu nisam previše zamerila dodatni trud.

prirodna svetlost:

i bought this polish last summer, and i have to admit, i did it mainly because of the name! i wish i can say it from experience, but i think it does look caribbean-y. the shade is sea blue with strong green undertone, and the finish is shimmery, frosty and a bit duochrome-y, unfortunately with quite visible brushstrokes.

essence had a polish with the same name before, so i have version no 2. this one is less pigmented, it really needs three coats, and this is what makes the brushstrokes more prominent, but i enjoyed this colour and didn't mind the extra effort that much.

chanel - azure (l’eté papillon de chanel)

mislim da se može reći da su plavci iz chanel-ove letnje kolekcije l’eté papillon de chanel, bel argus i azure, lakovi o kojima se najviše pričalo ove godine. zvezda današnjeg posta je azure.

i guess it can be said that blues from chanel's summer collection l’eté papillon de chanel, bel argus and azure, are THE most talked about polishes this year. the star of today's post is azure.

do sada smo svi shvatili da obožavam plavce u svim varijantama nijansi i završnica. u ovaj duo sam se zaljubila u trenutku kad sam videla prve slike bočica i znala sam da mogu da ih kupim i na slepo, ali sam nekako mislila da me neće ostaviti bez daha, nakon što sam kolekciji dodavala plavac za plavcem. o, kako sam pogrešila!

azure je tirkizno duohrom savršenstvo, prava nijansa paunovog pera. prosto doziva leto, plažu i talase. duohrom efekat nije preintenzivan, ali sasvim dovoljan da me mami da gledam u nokte pod različitim uglovima, pošto je metalik, ima poneka vidljiva linija četkicem ali ništa preterano.

verujem da je svima dosta čitanja o azure, tako da prelazim na slike, i biće ih gomila. prirodna svetlost:

we all know by now that i'm a huge fan of blues in all the shades and finishes possible. i loved this duo ever since i saw the promo pictures and knew i could buy them blindly, but somehow thought that, after piling up one blue polish after another, they will not leave me breathless. boy, how was i wrong!

azure is a turquoise duochrome perfection, a true peacock shade. it screams summer, beach and waves. duochrome effect isn't insanely strong, but just enough for me to keep glancing at my nails at different angles. since it is metallic, there are some brushstrokes, but nothing too bad.

i'm sure everyone is fed up by azure post, so here are the pictures, and lots of them. natural light:
