comparison: purple creme (pamplona, no spain, breakthrough, violine)

ovo poređenje sam odavno napravila, ali nije stizalo na red.

bilo je dosta priče o tome koliko je  ysl violine surealiste sličan opikama pamplona purple i no spain no gain , a ubacila sam i essence breakthrough u kombinaciju jer je to jedina druga ljubičasta krema koju imam (uz ysl mauve naif, ali on ima dosta jači plavi podton). 

i've had this comparison in my folder for a while, but always forgot to post it.

there was a lot of talk about how similar is ysl violine surrealiste to opi's pamplona purple and no spain no gain, and i decided to put in essence breakthrough in the mix, since it is the only other purple creme i have (other than ysl mauve naif, but that one has much stronger blue undertone).

zoya beatrix (pixie dust summer)

beatrix is from the summer edition of zoya's pixie dust polishes. as usual, their description couldn't be more accurate: "tangerine metal sparkle in the exclusive zoya pixie dust textured, matte, foil twinkle formula".

i love everything about this polish, especially how the gold shimmer sparkles in this amazing vibrant orange base. i wore it three times this summer, the last time i took it to a 5 day festival, wore it the whole time, including the tent setting and all the unglamorous but fun stuff camping can give. all of that, without chipping! one of my dearest friends also loved it, so we were sporting matching manicures :)

formula and applications are typically without issues, drying time is about 20 minutes.

catrice run forest run! 340

konačno predstavljam jedan od mojih omiljenih lakova, catrice run forest run!

uvek kačim zvanične slike bočica, ali za ovaj nisam uspela da nađem. problem je što su ljudi u catrice promenili prvu, staru verziju verziju forest-a a zadržali ime, kao što možete videti na slici koju sam pozajmila sa parokeets bloga, pa promo slike nove bočice ne mogu da se nađu.

i will finally present one of my favourites, catrice's run forest run!

 i always post the official picture of the bottle, but i couldn't find one. the thing is, people at catrice changed the first and old version of forest but left the name, as you can see from the pic i borrowed from parokeets blog. so, now i can only find promo bottle pics from the old version.

ovaj lak, zajedno sa pool party at night, su bili moji prvi catrice lakovi i ostali su na mojoj listi omiljenih. mislim da nije teško shvatiti zašto volim forest: ovo je prelepa, svetla "trava" zelena krema sa odličom formulom. šteta da su ga povukli.


stvarno sam morala da jako mućkam bočicu da bih prikrila koliko je prazna, a planiram da potrošim svaku kap u njoj. baš sam slaba na ovaj lak, možda i zbog toga što sam baš dugo tražila zeleni lak da je izgledalo kao ostvarenje sna kad sam ga pronašla. u stara vremena, kad me lakovi nisu zanimali, mislila sam da lakovi poput ovog ne postoje, da je svet ispunjen samo crvenim i roze bojama a toliko sam želela zeleni lak :)

actually, this polish, together with pool party at night, were my first catrice polishes, and remain among my favorites. and i don't think i really need to explain why i love this one: this is the perfect, light "grass" green creme, with amazing formula. too bad it's discontinued.

i really had to shake this bottle to cover up how empty it is, but i intend to use every single drop of it. i have such a soft spot in my heart for this polish, maybe because i spent so much time finding a green polish that it seemed like a dream come true when i saw this one. back in the days, when i wasn't that into polishes, i actually thought that shades like forest didn't exist, that the world was filled with only reds ad pinks and i badly wanted a green one!

new in: august 2013

razmišljala sam se da li da napravim ovaj post jer nisam puno kupovala u avgustu (picture polish i a england su naručeni od drugarice još negde u aprilu ali su tek sad našli put do mene), dok je collistar poklon jedne divne lakoholičarke, ali pošto ću (najverovatnije) kupovati još manje, rešila sam da objavim.

i was thinking if i should do this post, since i didn't buy that much (picture polish and a england were ordered from a friend way back in april, but just now found their way to me), and collistar was a gift from one amazing polish addict but i'll (probably) be buying even less in the months to come, so i decided to do it.
