China Glaze Red-y & Willing

Alexandar Cosmetics nas je opet prijatno iznenadio i dobavio novu kolekciju China Glaze lakova mnogo pre nego što se ona pojavila u svetu. Ovog puta je reč o Autumn Nights kolekciji koja će se drugde u prodaji naći 1. avgusta, a kod nas se već može nabaviti. Kolekcija se sastoji od 12 lakova - 10 svetlucavih i dva kremasta - podeljenih u dve linije: Gossip over gimlets i Strike up a cosmo. Lakovi su dostupni i u Alexandar Cosmetics i kod distributera po drugim gradovima. Koštaju 387 dinara.

Alexandar Cosmetics, Serbian importer of China Glaze products surprised us pleasantly again by getting new collection of China Glaze polishes before it hit stores worldwide. This time it is Autumn Nights collection that should be available from August 1st. This collection consists of 12 polishes (ten shimmers and two cremes) split into two lines: Gossip over gimlets i Strike up a cosmo.

Meni se boje u Autumn Nights kolekciji nisu preterano svidele jer ili nisu moje boje ili su već viđene. Jedna od već viđenih, ali kojoj nisam mogla da odolim je Red-y & Willing. Na osnovu bočice mi je bilo jasno da se dovoljno razlikuje od Short & Sassy, ali nisam je poredila sa Heart of Africa, Thunderbird ili ostalim lakovima iz ove game. Ovo je prilično pogmentovan lak boje crvenog vina koji vuče malo na brusnica-crvenu boju. Vamp je, ali nije suviše taman. Sjaj mu je prilično visok.

I didn't like the shades in Autumn Nights collection because they either aren't my colours or they are already seen before. One of the latter ones, but the one I couldn't resist is Red-y & Willing. Bottle comparison showed it differs enough form Short & Sassy, but I didn't compare it to Heart of Africa, Thunderbird or other polishes from this colour range. This is highly pigmented wine-coloured polish that leans a bit toward cranberry red. It is vampy but not too dark. It has high gloss.

Neka vas mehurići na slikama ne plaše - prilično sam sigurna da su nastali zbog visoke temperature i vlage koja vlada ovih dana u Srbiji. Nanosi se veoma lepo i prilično ravnomerno. Na kraćim noktima bi sigurno mogao proći kao jednoslojac. Treba voditi računa o debljini slojeva jer se u debljem sloju mogu videti tragovi četkice. Suši se umereno brzo.

Don't let the bubbles you may see in the photos scare you - I'm quite sure they are due to the high temperatures and humidity we've been having these days in Serbia. The polish goes on really well and evenly. It could be a one-coater on shorter nails. Attention should be paid to the thickness of coats because brushstrokes could be visible in thicker coats. It dries moderately fast.

Za kraj poređenje sa Short & Sassy. Mislim da je razlika sasvim jasna - Short & Sassy je tamniji i zatvoreniji i više vuče na broan dok Red-y & Willing više vuče na ciklamu. Poredbena slika je snimljena u hladu, ali razlika je jasna pri svakom osvetljenju. Prve četiri slike u ovom postu su snimljene na indirektnom dnevnom svetlu, a naredne dve na direktnom suncu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

And to finish this post I have a comparison with Short & Sassy. I think the differences are quite apparent - Short & Sassy is darker and muted and leans toward brown, while Red-y & Willing leans toward fuchsia. The comparison photo is taken in shade, but the difference can be seen in any lighting. The first four photos were taken in indirect natural light, the other two in direct sunlight. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
