essence 46 wake up!

u prethodnom postu sam pisala o sličnosti essence wake up! sa opijevim good man-darin...a sada ću se koncentrisati samo na wu!
nažalost, moj planirani boravak kući je trajao 5 umesto dva dana (nažalost zbog razgloga zbog kog sam morala da ostanem) a sa sobom sam imala samo ovaj lak. flašica je već bila skoro prazna, i kad sam ga prvi put mazala, lak se već bio zgusnuo dovoljno da se teško mazao, a ni ja nisam bila dovoljno strpljiva i sve se završilo sa gomilom mehurića. drugi put sam se više koncentrisala, ali, pošto nisam imala nikakav razređivač, sve je bilo prilično mučno ali ipak bolje nego prvi put. nisam zadovoljna slikama, ali sam rešila da ih ipak okačim jer sam konačno ugledala dno neke bočice i ovaj lak više neću moći da mažem.

i wrote about similarity of essence wake up with opi's good man-darin, and here i present the swatch of wu!

unfortunately, my visit home lasted 5 days instead of 2 (unfortunately because of the reason i had to prolong my stay), and i had only this polish with me, and the bottle was almost empty. it was already too thick to handle it properly, so the first time i applied it, i wasn't patient enough and it was too hot at my place, so i had a lot of bubbles. the second time, i was more careful, but the polish was even thicker and i had no thinner so it applied horribly, but i have to publish the pictures, because i finally saw the bottom of the bottle and it was my last chance to take pictures.

comparison: opi good man-darin is hard to find vs essence wake up!

kada sam postovala o GMIHTF opi-ju ovde,  spomenula sam kako retko nosim ovakve boje i kako nisu baš česte u mojoj kolekciji. onda, kada sam namazala essence-ov WU!, opisan ovde, shvatila sam koliko su ova dva laka u stvari slična. naravno, morala sam da napravim poređenje.

i wrote about opi's GMIHTF here where i mentioned how little of these colors i own. then, when i wore essence's WU! (described here), i realized how similar the two actually are. so, naturally, i did a comparison.

leva sličica je sa blicem, druga je na prirodnom svetlu. i generalno, kao što će se videti na ostalim slikama, u prirodi je WU! za par nijansi intenzivniji i sa paradajzičasto-crvenim podtonom, dok je na veštaškom svetlu ta razlika mnogo manje primetna.

left image was made with flash, while the right one is on natural light. in general, as you will see in the next few pictures, in natural light WU! is brighter and has a slight tomato red undertone, while this difference is toned down in artificial light.

depend 252

depend 252 je divni plavi lak sa staklastim šimerom.

depend 252 is a beautiful blue glass flecked polish!

lak ima savršenu formulu i lako se nanosi, samo je malo proziran, pa sam morala da namažem tri sloja. obično me nervira kada na standardna dva moram da dodam još jedan, ali ovde je sve išlo glatko. prethodni put kada sam ga mazala, sigurno su mi bila dovoljna dva sloja, ali tada sam imala svoju standardnu "dužinu" noktiju tj. bela linija nokta ni ne postoji, a sada sam se zapustila jedno 5 dana pa imam oko 2mm "izrastka" koje pod hitno moram da sredim (volim da imam nokte isečene "do živca") :) i sa tri sloja se ponegde providi.
prirodna svetlost:

formula is pretty good and the application is easy. it is a bit sheer, so i had to go for three layers. although i hate when i have to add one more layer to the existing two, but here everything went smoothly.  last time i wore it, i'm sure two layers were enough, but at that time i had my regular nail length, which means, no visible nail line to begin with :D for the last five days i didn't have enough time to take care of my nails, so now i have 2 mm of nail line that i will have to take care of as soon as possible (i like my nails short). even with three coats, VNL is still present.

11. theme friday: blue

prošao je i 11ti tematski petak na ana.rs (tema- plava), od sutra pa do sledećeg petka nas čekaju koralni lakovi. ovaj put neću učestvovati jer ne nosim koralce.

11th theme friday (blue!) on ana.rs has finished, from tomorrow till next friday we will enjoy the beauty of coral polishes (i will not participate, since i don't wear corals)!

moj izbor je bio dior lagoon.

my choice was dior lagoon.

 

essence prince charming over aura techno

priznajem, ne mogu da odolim laku koji ima dobro izabrano ime i propaganda ima veliki uticaj na mene po tom pitanju. zato sam bila na teškim mukama da ne uzem sve iz essence snow white kolekcije, a čak i ne volim tu bajku nešto posebno (da je kolekcija bila o maloj sireni ili uspavanoj lepotici, tu se već ne bih suzdržavala :D) na kraju sam odlučila da uzmem samo one koje sam stvarno želela (grumpy i dva topera, huntsman i prince charming, ali sam ipak dodala i evil queen, jer kako da ostavim reginu iz serije "once upon a time" na polici :)) čak je i stalak bio presladak!

i am a sucker for a well chosen nail polish name, and i admit to being susceptible to propaganda. that's why i had to try really hard not to buy everything from essence snow white limited edition. and i actually never liked that particular fairy tale (i would probably surrender to this urge if it was little mermaid or sleeping beauty :D). i decided to buy only the ones i really liked (grumpy and two toppers, huntsman and prince charming, but i had to have evil queen also, how could i leave regina form "once upon a time" on a shelf :)) even the stand was so adorable!
