essence prom-berry (colour & go 148)

prom-berry (color&go 148)  je jedan od novijih lakova u osnovnoj essence kolekciji.


malo je čudno da tek sad predstavljam ovaj lak, jer sam ga kupila još u februaru a ovo će biti poslednji put da ga imam na noktima jer sam već iskapila bočicu!

prom-berry (color&go 148) is one of the newer additions to the essence's core collection.

it is a bit strange that i'm showing the pics just now, since i bought it in back in february, and this is the last time i'll get to wear it, since the bottle is finished!

verovatno je malo čudno da sam nosila ovaj lak toliko puta u poslednjih par meseci, ali ovo je bio moj standardni lak, zajedno sa još nekoliko essence, koje sam nosila sa sobom na putovanja, a i često mi je bio i na  nogama.

generalno volim ovakve tamno ljubičaste lakove sa šimerom. kod prom-berry, šimer je sitan plavi i crveni koji baš oživi na direktnom suncu, dok u senci i nije toliko izražen. zato mi je i bilo teško da ga uslikam tako da se vidi sva njegova lepota, otud ga i tako kasno predstavljam.

formula je bila ok, ništa problematično, i nemam neke zamerke. ipak, neću ga kupiti ponovo jer imam već nešto slično, nyx purple ink.

prirodna svetlost:

it's maybe weird that i wore this polish so many times in a couple of months, but it was, together with a few more essences, my go to polish on work trips, and i also wore it on my toes quite often.


i am a big fan of those dark purple polishes with shimmer. this one has blue and red microshimmer that really comes to life in direct sun, but it's not that visible in shade. because of that, i had hard time photographing it so that all of its beauty is shown, hence the delay in swatching.

formula was ok, nothing problematic and i don't have any complaints. i will not re-buy it since i have something similar, nyx purple ink.

opi - jinx (bond girls collection)

u opi-ju su odličili da cela letnja kolekcija bude posvećena liquid sand lakovima. uzela sam tri, i danas predstavljam jinx.

opi decided to do a summer collection that consists only of liquid sand polishes. i got three, and today i'm showing jinx.

their description: " this mesmerizing matte coral has lucky sparkle. "

kada sam gledala promo slike i svočeve blogerki, jinx je postao moj neočekivani favorit. znam da se ponavljam, ali koralne, breskvaste i slične nijanse mi nikad nisu legle, ali me je jinx nekako omađijao.


naručila sam lakiće kada sam poslednji put bila kući, ali se nešto zakompliovalo i paket nije stigao kad je trebalo i vratila sam se bez njih, a md je morao da se juri sa kurirom danima. baš sam bila nestrpljiva da ih probam, pa sam bila srećna da ih on ipak nije zaboravio da ponese sa sobom :D u međuvremenu sam prvi put videla jinx flašicu u parfimeriji, i ostala u blagom šoku jer je izgledao preintenzivno, prešljašteće, jednostavno previše.

ipak, kad sam ga konačno imala na noktima, to je bila potpuna ljubav. ovaj svetli koralac sa dosta jakim narandžastim tonom je idealan za leto. izgleda fantastično, suši brzo i skida se kao i svaki drugi lak. uhvatila sam sebe da stalno gledam u nokte.

prirodna svetlost:

when i was watching promo pictures, and then swatches from other bloggers, jinx became my surprising favorite. i'm repeating myself, but corals, peaches and similar shades were never my cup of tea, but jinx somehow mesmerised me!

i ordered my bottle on my last trip home, but something went wrong and my package didn't arrive when it was supposed to and i returned without the polishes, with my poor bf trying to pick it up for me. i was really anxious to try them, and was really happy that he didn't forget to pack them :D in the meantime, i saw the bottle of jinx in person, and left in a bit of a shock. it looked too intense, too flashy, too...much.


but then, i finally had it on my nails and it was complete love. this bright orangy coral with golden shimmer practically screams summer! it looks amazing, dries quickly and you can remove it regularly like any other polish. i caught myself often staring at my nails.

dior samba (birds of paradise)

za ovo leto, dior je osmislio dva seta po dva laka u birds of paradise kolekciji. dok me set baia nije preterano zanimao, drugi set po imenu samba sadrži boje za koje sam znala da ću ih voleti a da ih ni ne vidim uživo, tako da sam bila srećna da sam ga uhvatila na poslednjem putovanju.

danas predstavljam sambu 794.

for this summer, dior came up with two sets of polishes in the birds of paradise collection. while i had no interest in getting bahia, the other set called samba consists of colors that i know i'll love even without seeing them in real life, and i'm happy that i got it in my latest trip.

today, it's time for samba 794.

samba 794 je opisana kao "metalik peacock (paun) zelena", ali je, po meni, više petrolej koji naginje ka plavoj. nijansa je stvarno prelepa i uživo je mnogo interesantniji nego na slikama. šimer je divan i daje mu nekakav unutrašnji sjaj a duohrom efekat ume da povuče i na zlatkasto.

bočica je manja nego kod regularnih dior lakova (7 ml). i četkica je drugačija, ima istu širinu kao standardna ali je ravna, što je plus za one koji ne vole regularno sečenu dior četkicu (ja je, inače, obožavam). posle jednog sloja je pomalo proziran, ali sa dva se dobija savršena pokrivenost. postoji i poneki vidljivi potez četkice, ali nisu izraženi.

oduševljena sam ovom nijansom i mislim da je savršena za leto!

samba 794 is described as "metallic peacock green", but it is more of a teal going on blue. it really is gorgeous and pictures don't do it justice. the shimmer is amazing and gives it a bit of a glow, and the duochrome effect can make it look even goldish.


the bottle is smaller than for the regular dior polish (7 ml). the brush is a bit different too, it has the same width, but it is flat, so this is a plus for those of you who don't like the regularly cut dior brush (i actually love the standard one). it is a bit sheer with one coat, but the second one gives complete coverage. there are some visible brush strokes, but they are subtle.

i love this polish and i think it's great for the summer!

green ombre

trenutni tematski petak je posvećen ombre manikiru. pošto sam u zelenoj fazi, bilo je prirodno da izaberem lakove iz moje kolekcije zelenih krema.

ovo je moj izbor: essie go overboard, essence trust in fashion, opi jade is the new black, nyx mermaid tears i dior samba duo 402.

so, our theme friday is all about ombre nails. since i'm in a green mood, it was only natural to choose from my range of green cremes.

so, this is what i came up with: essie go overboard, essence trust in fashion, opi jade is the new black, nyx mermaid tears and dior samba duo 402.

morate mi verovati na reč da su ove nijanse u prirodi mnogo bliže jedna drugoj.


sviđa mi se ovaj ombre trend, možda napravim i kombinacije u ljubičastoj ili plavoj.

you have to take my word that these colora are much more blended with each other in real life.

i like this ombre trend, i might do another in purple or blue.
