Essence Circus Circus 3 Applause, Applause

Circus Circus je trend kolekcija koju je Essence izbacio zimus. U njoj su se našla i četiri dvostruka laka za nokte, ali kod nas nije uvezan jedini koji sam želela. Kolekcija je odavno povučena te neću previše daviti nepotrebnim detaljima. Applause, Applause je dvostruki lak koji se sastoji iz crvenog krem laka i bezbojnog laka sa crvenim šljokicama. Mazanje mi ovog puta nije predstavljalo problem. Valjda sam se malo navikla na ovakav oblik bočice. Problem skladištenja ovakvih lakova je ostao.

Circus Circus is a limited edition Essence put on the market last winter. Among other things, it had four double polishes, but the only one I wanted had never been imported on Serbia. The collection has been long withdrawn so I won't bore you with unnecessary details. Applause, Applause is a dual wand polish that consists of a red creme polish and a clear base with red glitter. The application was smooth this time. I guess I got a bit used to this sort of bottle. The storage problem remained.

Crveni lak je jednoslojac. Možda bi nekome bio malkice prozračan, ali meni ova doza prozračnosti ne smeta. Posebno kada uzmem u obzir da je ovo nijansa crvene kakava mi se ne dopada i da sam lak zapravo uzela zbog šljokičavog dela. Dakle, crvena je veoma jarka i prilično plastičnog izgleda. Podseća me na veštačke nokte od bojene plastike. Možda bi na preplanulim prstima izgledao lepše, ali na meni deluje jeftino i veštački. Namazala sam dva sloja da bih povećala trajnost laka.

The red creme is a one-coater. Perhaps someone might find it a bit sheer, but I don't mind this amount of sheerness. Especially considering that this is the sort of red I don't like and that I bought the polish because of the glittery side. So, the red is very bright and rather plastic-looking. It reminded me of fake nails made out of coloured plastic. Perhaps it would look better on tanned fingers, but on me it looks cheap and artificial. I applied two coats in order to make it more durable.

Druga strana je veoma bogata sitnim okruglim i srednjim kvadratnim crvenim šljokicama. Nedovoljno da bi se njima mogao pokriti ceo nokat, ali dovoljno da se ne mora lak tapkati po noktu kako bi se sa četkice prenelo dovoljno šljoka, već se može sasvim normalno namazati. Šljokice su prilično grube i jedan sloj nadlaka nije dovoljan da se površina izravna.

The other side is packed with small round and medium square red glitter. There isn't enough glitter to achieve full opacity, but there is enough of it that one doesn't need to dab it on in order to get a decent amount of glitter on the nail. The glitter is rather rough and gritty and one coat of top coat isn't enough to even out the surface.

Slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka, jedan sloj šljokica i Seventeen Fast Finish nadlak preko šljokica.

Photos were taken in daylight. I have two coats of red polish, one coat of glitter and a coat of Seventeen Fast Finish top coat over glitter.
