China Glaze Glitz ’N Pieces

U januaru je u Alexandar i kod svih njihovih distributera stigla kolekcija Glitz—Bitz ’N Pieces China Glaze lakova. Kolekciju čini šest šljokičavih lakova. Deo šljokica u svim lakovima je crn, a drugi deo je srebrn, crven, zelen, plav, ljubičast ili ružičast. Svi se ovi lakovi mogu nositi preko drugih lakova ili sami. Cena im je nešto viša nego običnim China Glaze lakovima i iznosi 489 dinara za bočicu od 15 ml.

Glitz—Bitz ’N Pieces collection of China Glaze polishes arrived in January in Serbia. The collection consists of six glittery polishes, all of which have one part of black glitter and the other in one of six colours - silver, red, green, blue, purple or pink. They can all be worn either as toppers or on their own.

Glitz ’N Pieces (81232) je lak sačinjen od crnih i srebrnih šljokica u bezbojnoj bazi. Šljokice su različitih veličina - od manjih od jednog milimetra do većih od tri milimetara. Većina šljokica je šestougaona, ali ima i crnih duguljastih šljokica. Šljokice su prilično gusto raspoređene te se lak u tri, možda čak i dva sloja može nositi sam, ali nisu toliko guste da se lak ne može mazati preko drugog.

Glitz ’N Pieces (81232) is clear base with black and silver glitter. Glitter is of different sizes - from less than one millimetre to more than three millimetre. Most of the glitter is hexagonal, but there is also black bar glitter. There is quite a lot of glitter so that the polish can be worn on its own in three or maybe even two coats, but there is not that much of it that the polish can't be worn over some other polish.

Što se mazanja tiče, lak se nanosi veoma lako. Šljokice se mogu lepo rasporediti po noktu. Treba voditi računa da ne štrče sa ivice nokta jer se lako mogu kačiti za kosu ili odeću i time se odvaliti iz baze. Baza je prilično gusta i treba joj dosta vremena da se osuši. Šljokice su osetne pod prstom i treba ih prekriti barem sa dva sloja nadlaka kako bi se površina izglačala. Duguljaste šljokice su posebno užasne, štrče i ljušte se ako se ne zatope dobro nadlakom.

As for the application, it was very smooth. Glitter is manageable and can be distributed over the nail quite nicely. Care should be taken that there is no glitter protruding from the free edge of the nail because it can catch on hair and clothes and get ripped from the base. The base is thick and it takes long to dry. The glitter is palpable and it takes at leas two coats of top coat in order to even out the surface. Bar glitter is particularly awful, it sticks out and peels if you don't seal it well with top coat.

Slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Na prve dve slike imam dva sloja laka, na druge dve samo jedan i na njima nemam nadlak. Na poslednje dve slike imam jedan sloj Glitz ’N Pieces preko dva sloja Aura She Bunny 508 i sloj Seche Vite nadlaka.

Photos were taken in daylight. In first two photos I have two coats of polish, in the next two a single coat of polish. I have no top coat. In the last two photos I have one coat of Glitz ’N Pieces over two coats of Aura She Bunny 508. I have one coat of Seche Vite.
