catrice oh my goldness! (910)

i fell in love with catrice 910 oh my goldness! the moment i saw the bottle, and i wasn't surprised that it was on such a demand that it's hard to find it in the store.

in the bottle, it looks like a golden going on bronze shimmery polish, but when you start to apply it, you realize it is actually really fine golden glitter in the clear base  instead of shimmer. it is opaque enough, though, and you get uniform coverage from two layers. when you apply the first coat, it looks too shear, and i was afraid that it was one of the polishes that will need three layers to look good, but the second layer surprisingly gave it depth and there was no need for the third one.

zoya lotus (true spring)

lotus je iz zoyine kolekcije true spring iz ove godine. 

lotus is from zoya's true spring 2012 collection.

dugo sam zagledala ovaj lak, i nisam mogla da se odlučim da li da ga uzmem ili ne, a sada sam baš srećna da sam ga ipak kupila!

u zoyi su ga prilično dobro opisali, kao prašnjavu ljubičastu sa plavim podtonom i raznobojnim šimerom (roze, crveno i zlano). boja je stvarno prašnjavo ljubičasta, a iznenadila sam se koliko je šimer vidljiv na noktima, jer sam mislila da je dosta suptilniji. formula je odlična i potpuna pokrivenost se dobija sa dva sloja. mislim da je ovo jedan od onih lakova koji svima dobro stoje.

zoya describes it as: "a very soft, dusty blue-toned amethyst purple with colorful shimmer that reflects pink, red and gold. a dreamy smoky shade for purple lovers that looks both soft and luminous"  and they are dead on with the description. the color really is a dusty, muted purple packed with pinkish shimmer. formula is amazing and it is fully opaque after two coats. the shimmer is quite visible on the nails, which surprised me, because i expected it o be more subtle. i think that this is one of those shades that look good on every skintone.

catrice 870 copper cabana

predstavljam još jedan lak iz nove catrice kolekcije, ovaj put je to 870 copper cabana.

here comes another new catrice polish, this time 870 copper cabana.

i ovaj put, formula je bila malo komplikovana i pregusta. ponovo, ovo nije nikakav problem kog kap ili dva razređivača ne mogu da srede, ali nisam mogla da ih dodajem na pamet, dok ga ne probam u originalnoj verziji. i opet boja vadi stvar. obožavam ovakve rđave, rustične boje pa sam se zaljubila i ovu tamno narandžastu. finiš najviše vuče na metalik.
prirodno svetlo:

once again, the formula is a bit tricky and thick. again, this is nothing that a drop of two of thinner wouldn't solve, but i had to try the polish in it's original form first. but, the color is a beautiful dark orange. i love these rusty looking shades. i would say that the finish is metallic.

butter london all hail the queen (fall 2010)

ovaj lak se prvi put pojavio kao deo butter london jesenje kolekcije, zajedno sa lakovima bumster, marrow i victoriana, i to pod imenom all hail mcqueen. kasnije su ga iz legalnih razloga preimenovali u all hail the queen i deo je stalne kolekcije.

this polish first appeared as a part of butter london's fall 2010 collection, where it was called all hail mcqueen, but change the name to just all hail the queen later on. the other three polishes were bumster, marrow and victoriana.

ovo je bio prvi BL lak kog sam uzela sa police, i zaljubila sam se istog trenutka. baza laka je bež boje, i puna je finog holo glitera, tako da je njegov holo finiš rasejan. formula je odlična i sa dva sloja dobija se puna pokrivenost.

prirodna svetlost:

this was the first BL polish i picked up from the shelf, and immediately fell in love with it. this is how the color really has a nice beige, sandy tone and it is packed with fine scattered holographic glitter. formula is great, nothing to complain here.

natural light:

koristila sam bazu (opi start to finish) + dva sloja laka + nadlak (essence btgnts).

i used base (opi start to finish) + two layers of polish + top coat (essence btgnts).
