Zoya Blaze

Kada je Zoya zimus izbacila Ornate kolekciju po prvi put sam zaista osetila tugu što ovi lakovi nisu dostupni kod nas, no kada samo proletos saznali da će Ultra Sun početi da uvozi Zoya lakove rodila se nada da ću ipak moći da nabavim ove lepote. Trebalo je sačekati do juna, ali napokon je Ornate kolekcija stigla. Zoya lakovi ne sadrže toluen, dibutil ftalat, formalin, formalinski rezin, kamfor, sastojke životinjskog porekla i ne testiraju se na životinjama. Svi lakovi osim Pixie Dust koštaju 560 dinara i dolaze u pakovanjima od 15 ml. Možete ih nabaviti u Ultra Sunu. Ultra Sun šalje širom Srbije, a ima i distributere u Nišu i Čačku.

When first swatches of Zoya Ornate collection showed up on the internet for the first time I truly felt sad these polishes weren't available in Serbia, but when we learned that Ultra Sun will import them I was hopeful I'll finally get my hands on these lovelies. I had to wait till June, but the Ornate collection arrived after all. Zoya polishes don't contain toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and animal products and are not tested on animals.

Blaze (ZP641) je bila moja ljubav na prvi pogled. Možete i sami videti zašto. U senci i pri indirektnom svetlu deluje kao džem od malina ispunjen finim srebrnastim česticama. Na direktnom svetlu postaje jasno otkud mu ime (svi Zoya lakovi su imenovani po osobama i, mada ne znam po kome je ovaj nazvan, značenje ovog imena je plamen, bljesak, sjaj) jer se vidi da srebrnaste čestice nisu srebrnaste već prizmatične, ali zbog bazne boje laka do izražaja najviše dolaze crveni i ljubičasti tonovi. Ove čestice i po boji i po obliku i po sjaju podsećaju na one u OPI Designer Series lakovima, ali među OPI lakovima nema sličnog ovom.

Blaze (ZP641) was my love at first sight. You can see why. In shade and in indirect light it looks like raspberry jam filled with fine silvery glass flecks. Indirect light it becomes clear where this polish got its name (I mean the meaning, I have no idea who this polish is named after) because you can see that silvery particles aren't silvery but prismatic, but due to the base colour they mostly flash red and purple. These particles resemble those in OPI Designer Series in shape, colour and size, but I couldn't find an OPI polish similar to this one.

Što se mazanja tiče, nemam zamerki. Mislim da sam već spomenula da mi se četkica iz Zoya lakova mnogo dopada. Veoma je zgodnog oblika i veličine i njome se lak sasvim lepo raspoređuje po noktu. Doduše to nije teško ako se uzme u obzir da je konzistencija samog laka veoma dobra. Iako Blaze deluje kao da je žele, puna pokrivenost nokta se može dobiti iz jednog sloja, mada bih savetovala mazanje dva kako bi se boja ujednačila, a i zbog trajnosti. Slojevi se suše brzo. Površina je prilično glatka. Lak se fino cakli, ali nema visoki sjaj. Ako volite izgled geliranih noktiju, treba da nanesete nadlak.

As far as the application goes, I have no complaints. I think I mentioned earlier I love Zoya brush. Its shape and size are quite convenient and it distributes polish over the nail very nicely. That isn't hard, though, if you consider how good the formula of this polish is. Even though Blaze seems to be a jelly polish, one coat is enough for full coverage, but I'd recommend applying two in order to even out the colour as well as to increase its durability. The coats dry quite fast and to a smooth surface. The polish has nice shine, but not high gloss. If you prefer gel-like look, you may want to put a coat of top coat.

Prve tri slike su snimljene na direktnom suncu, preostale tri u senci. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

First three photos were taken in direct sunshine, the other three in shade. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
