Essence Colour & Go 43 Where is the party?

Danas je tematski petak posvećen duohrom lakovima. Ja sam odabrala Essence Where is the party. Uspešno sam odolevala ovom laku jer mi je delovao kao prilično uobičajen ljubičasto-zeleni duohrom. Onda sam na Lab Muffin blogu naišla na prikaz ovog laka koji je pokazao da je ovo zapravo multihrom i tada sam odlučila da on ipak mora biti moj. Naravno, zbog promene uvoznika Essence kozmetike nisam uspela da ga nađem u prodavnicama i ostala bih bez njega da ga Bebichica sa foruma Ana.rs nije ponudila za prodaju.

Today is themed Friday and the theme is duochrome polishes. I chose Essence Where is the party. I managed to resist this polish because it seemed to me to be a rather common green-purple duochrome. But after I had seen the review at Lab Muffin blog that showed that it is actually a multichrome I decided I had to have it. Of course, due to the change of the importer of Essence cosmetics I was unable to find it in stores before it was discontinued and I'd have been left empty-handed if it weren't for Bebichica from Ana.rs forum who offered it for sale.

Ovo je prvi put da nisam sasvim zadovoljna kako se neki Essence lak maže. Za moje nokte su bila potrebna tri sloja za potpunu pokrivenost i relativnu ujednačenost boje. Relativnu pošto si na svetlu i dalje vide neravnomernosti. Dok sam mazala nokte stvarale su se grudvice laka pri vrhovima noktiju. Trećim slojem sam ih donekle prekrila, mada nisam uspela svuda. Na srednjem prstu su mi se napravili mehurići. Izgleda da se šimerasti duo- i multihromi ne slažu sa mojim noktima.

This is the first time I wasn't quite happy with the application of an Essence polish. It took me three coats of polish to get full coverage and relatively even colour. I say relatively because the unevenness is still visible in bright light. I had some clotting towards the free edge. I managed to cover them up somewhat with the third coat, although not entirely. I have a serious case of bubbling on my middle finger. It seems that the shimmery duo- and multichromes don't go along well with my nails.

Mada u bočici on zaista izgleda kao trihrom, ja nisam na svojim noktima uspela da ugledam ni naznaku tirkizne. Duohrom efekat je veoma izražen, čak i na malim površinama i pri najmanjim promenama u osvetljenju. Čak i nijanse ljubičaste i zelene variraju u zavisnosti od svetla - od pomalo prašnjave mahovinasto-zelene i lila preko trava-zelene i purpurne do tamno-zelene i sivo-ljubičaste. Svetliji je od Carpe Diem. Ne dopada mi se što se u šimeru vide tragovi četkice. Essence je izbacio ovaj iz proizvodnje, ali je ponudio mnogo impresivniji multihrom pod imenom Chic Reloaded.

Even though in the bottle the polish looks like a trichrome, I couldn't even catch a glimpse of turquoise on my nails. Duochrome effect is very prominent, even on very small surfaces and under tiniest changes in lighting. Even shades of green and purple change with the lighting - from a bit dusty mossy green and lilac to grass green and purple to dark green and greyish purple. It is lighter than Carpe Diem. I don't like the fact that this is a frost. This polish has been discontinued, but Essence put a much impressive multichrome, called Chic Reloaded, on the market.
