OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest

Every Month Is Oktoberfest (NL G18) prvi je OPI lak koji sam kupila. Želela sam da to bude Black Cherry Chutney, ali kada sam uživo videla Every Month Is Oktoberfest znala sam da mora biti moj. Otkad su se letos pojavile prve slike doživeo je neverovatnu popularnost i to sasvim opravdano. Kako je juče bilo dosta sunca iskoristila sam priliku da uslikam svu raskoš ovog laka.

Every Month Is Oktoberfest (NL G18) is the first OPI nail polish I bought. I wanted my first one to be Black Cherry Chutney, but after seeing Every Month Is Oktoberfest in person I knew I had to have it. It has gained incredible popularity since the first photos appeared, and rightfully so. Yesterday was quite a sunny day so I took the opportunity to capture the luxuriance of this polish.

Ovo je znatno tamniji rođak nama nedostupnog Max Factor Fantasy Fire - ima mastiljavu bazu punu crvenog šimera. U bočici se ne razllikuje mnogo od Royal Rajah Ruby ili Midnight In Moscow jer se u bočici maltene samo šimer i vidi, ali bazna boja je ono što ga izdvaja. Za razliku od Fantasy Fire, dva sloja Every Month Is Oktoberfest daju punu pokrivenost. Ne znam da li je to do moje bočice, serije ili ove boje, ali četkica je bila nešto tvrđa, čvršća i povukla mi je pri drugom sloju povukla malo boje. Suši se prilično brzo.

This is much darker cousin of Max Factor Fantasy Fire - it has inky base full of red shimmery particles. In the bottle it doesn't look very different from Royal Rajah Ruby or Midnight In Moscow because shimmer is about the only thing that can be seen, but the base colour is what sets them apart. Unlike Fantasy Fire, Every Month Is Oktoberfest gives full coverage in two coats. I don't know whether it's just my bottle, the whole batch or just this shade, but my brush was somewhat harder, less flexible and it pulled some colour when I was applying second coat. It dries quite quickly.

Puna lepota ovog laka dolazi do izražaja na direktnom svetlu - tada se vidi i mastiljavost baze i sjaj šimera i zatamnjenost ivica. U senci izgleda skoro crno, ali se vidi da nije crn nego deluje veoma tamno ljubičasto. Ono što me je iznenadilo je da kada se osuši nema visok sjaj i deluje vao folija. Nadlak mu daje sjaj i dodatnu dubinu.

Full beauty of this polish comes to life in direct light. That's when the inkiness, shimmer and the darkened edges are all visible. In shade it looks almost black, but it is clear that it isn't black but it seems to be very dark purple. What surprised me is the lack of gloss. When dry it looked rather flat. Top coat gave it gloss and additional depth.

Prvih šest slika je snimljeno na direktnom suncu, preostale dve u senci. Imam dva sloja laka i sloj Seche Vite nadlaka.

First six photos were taken in direct sunlight, the other two in in shade. I have two coats of polish and a coat of Seche Vite.
