Don Juan LK101 i pečat u sendviču

Don Juan LK101 je jedan od lakova koje sam dobila u nagradnom paketiću. Kako nisam ljubitelj belog laka, ostao je neisproban sve do danas - belog tematskog petka. Don Juan lakovi imaju 12 ml i koštaju oko 120 dinara po parfimerijama.

Don Juan LK101 is one of the polishes that were part of Don Juan Graffi top prize. Not being a fan of white polish I kept this one untried until today - white-themed Friday.

Ovaj lak je beli krem veoma visokog sjaja. Nije previše pigmentovan i veoma je tečan. Meni je zapao primerak sa feleričnom, koso isečenom, četkicom. Ona mi je malo otežala nanošenje laka dok nisam našla položaj u kome mi ta kosina neće smetati. Ne vide se mnogo upadljivi tragovi četkice i donekle se boja sama izjednačila, ali se ipak vidi da se ne nanosi ravnomerno i da su potrebna barem tri sloja za potpunu pokrivenost i ujednačenost boje. Brzina sušenja je duža nego što bih volela da bude. Lak je bio suv na dodir desetak-petnaest minuta nakon mazanja, ali sam uspela da ga okrznem na malom prstu.

This polish is a very glossy white creme. It isn't very pigmented and is quite thin. Mine came with faulty, slanted, brush that made application a bit difficult until I found the way to hold it so that the slant doesn't bother me. The streaking isn't that severe and the colour did even itself a bit, but it is obvious that there are bald spots and that at least three coats are needed for full opacity and evenness of the colour. Drying time was somewhat longer than I'd like it to be. Polish was touch-dry ten-fifteen minutes after application, but I managed to disturb polish on my pinke.

Lak je veoma prozračan. Posle dva sloja bilo je jasno da ću morati da namažem i treći, ali sam odlučila da napravim eksperiment - da ispečatiram nokte i preko pečata nanesem treći sloj laka. Za pečatiranje sam koristila jednu od šara sa velike table koju sam uzela na sajmu i crni lak za pečatiranje, oba iz Alexandar cosmetics. Šarom sam veoma zadovoljna, posebno pošto mogu da je okrećem i pozicioniram na različite načine. Sloj LK101 preko pečata je potpuno izjednačio bele delove, a crnu boju pečata pretvorio u sivu i mestimično je razmazao, mada se to na slikama vidi mnogo bolje nego uživo.

The polish is very sheer. After I applied two coats it was clear to em that the third one will be necessary, but I wanted to do something different and stamp over the existing polish and then add the third coat of polish over the stamped design. I used one of the patterns fro the large stamping plate I got at the cosmetics fair and black stamping polish, both from Alexandar cosmetics. I'm very pleased with the design, especially because I can rotate and position it in different ways. A coat od LK101 over stamped image evened out the white colour completely and turned the black parts into grey, smudging them here and there. Smudges are more apparent in photos than in person.

Slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Na prve dve imam dva sloja laka, na druge dve tri sloja i pečatiran dizajn. Nemam nadlak. Sama nikada ne bih kupila ovakav lak, ali drago mi je što ga imam jer mi pruža nove mogućnosti za igranje sa pečatima i, recimo, pucajućim lakovima. Sigurno zanimljivo izgledaju u sendviču.

Photos were taken in daylight. I have two coats of polish in first two photos, three coats of polish and stamped design in other two. I have no top coat. I'd never buy a polish like this one, but I'm glad I have it because it gives me new possibilities for playing with stamping and, maybe crackle polishes. I'm sure they look interesting in sandwich.
