Essence Colour³ 06 Ticket to the Show

Essence Colour³ lakovi su se pojavili prošlog proleća, a ovog ih povlače iz proizvodnje i ponude. U pitanju su dvostrani lakovi poput onih is Circus Circus kolekcije. Ima ih šest i svaki se sastoji iz osnovne boje i boje za mazanje preko. Odrednica "na kub" odnosi se na trostruku mogućnost nošenja ovog laka - osnovna boja samostalno, osnovna boja sa "pomoćnom" bojom preko i "pomoćna" boja samostalno. Od ovih lakova me je odbijao odnos količine (2x4 ml) i cene (oko 400 dinara). Kako se promenio uvoznik, u DMu su se svi proizvodi prethodnog uvoznika našli na rasprodaji i sada se ovi lakovi mogu kupiti za 199 dinara. U Lilly drogerijama se ovi lakovi i dalje prodaju po punoj ceni, ali očekujem da se do marta i oni nađu na sniženju zbog povlačenja.

Essence Colour³  nail polishes were placed on the market last spring and are being discontinued this spring. These are two-sided wand polishes, like Circus Circus TE polishes. There are six of them and every one consists of base and layering colour. I guess that the "cube" part of the name refers to the threefold way of wearing it - base colour alone, layering colour over base colour and layering colour alone. What put me off these polishes is the amount of product (2x4 ml) to price (about 4 €) ratio. Since the importer of Essence products for Serbia has changed, the remains of the former importer's stock have been put on sale so I got these polishes for half the regular price.

Ticket to the Show je drugi od dva Essence Colour³ laka koja sam uzela. Ticket to the Show strana je crni lak sa ružičastim, zlatnim, plavim i zelenim šljokicama nepravilnog oblika. Sa dva sloja sam dobila sasvim ujednačenu boju i potpunu pokrivenost. Volela bih da su šljokice upadljivije. Druga strana se zove Front Row or Backstage? i čini je prozračan crni lak sa zlatnim šljokicama nepravilnog oblika. Da li je do same baze ili do količine šljokica u njoj, ali ovaj lak je u potpunosti prekrio šljokice sa druge strane. Oba laka se suše neočekivano brzo. Lak mi je stajao na noktima puna tri dana nepromenjen, bez nadlaka.

Ticket to the Show is the second of the two Essence Colour³ polishes I bought. Ticket to the Show side is black polish with pink, gold, blue and green glass flecks. Two coats gave even colour and complete coverage. I wish the flecks were more visible. The layering side is called Front Row or Backstage? and it is a sheer black base with lots of gold glass flecks. I don't know if it is due to the base or the amount of flecks, but this side covered the glass flecks from the other side entirely. Both sides dry unexpectedly fast. I wore Ticket to the Show for full three days without top coat.

Prve četiri slike su sniljene na dnevnom svetlu, preostale dve na veštačkom svetlu. Na prve dve slike imam dva sloja Ticket to the Show strane i sloj Front Row or Backstage? Na preostale četiri imam samo dva sloja Ticket to the Show strane. Nemam nadlak.

First four photos were taken in daylight, other two in artificial light. I have two coats of base polish and a coat of layering polish on top of it in the first two photos. In other photos I have only two coats of the base polish. I have no top coat.
