Zoya Darcy

Kako je ovih dana vreme prilično tmurno odlučila sam da ga osunčam lepim žutim lakom. Zoya Darcy iz ovogodišnje prolećne kolekcije Stunning mi je došla kao poručena i zapravo kako sam namazala lak granulo je sunce (onu provalu oblaka koja je usledila ćemo zanemariti). Zoya lakovi ne sadrže toluen, dibutil ftalat, formalin, formalinski rezin, kamfor, sastojke životinjskog porekla i ne testiraju se na životinjama. Svi lakovi dolaze u bočicama od 15 ml. Pixie Dust lakovi koštaju 700 dinara, a svi ostali 560 dinara. Možete ih nabaviti u Ultra Sunu. Ultra Sun šalje širom Srbije, a ima i distributere u Nišu i Čačku.

The weather was murky last few days so I decided to bring some sunshine in form of yellow polish. Zoya Darcy, from this year's spring collection called Stunning fit the bill perfectly and actually the sun shone as soon as I painted my nails (we shall disregard the deluge that followed). Zoya polishes don't contain toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and animal products and are not tested on animals.

Darcy (ZP663) je veoma lepa sunčana žuta krema, ili sam makar to mislila dok nisam pregledala slike sa sunca. Vidite li šimer? Samo na slikama se i vidi, što mislim da je šteta. Laku je sjaj prilično visok, a šimer je toliko sitan i po boji bčizak baznoj boji da je neprimetan. Čak je i na sajtu Darcy opisana kao krem lak. Pigmentacija nije loša, a konačni izgled je prilično plastičan i skoro neonski. Rekla bih da je ovo dobar izbor i za one koji vole da nose jarke i upadljive boje leti i za one koji, poput me, vole da takve boje nose zimi kako bi razbili sivilo.

Darcy (ZP663) is quite nice sunny yellow creme, or at least I thought so until I started to browse my sunlit photos. Do you see the shimmer? It is only visible in the photos, which I think is a shame. The polish is so glossy and the shimmer so fine and so close in colour to the base colour that it is practically invisible. It is described as creme on the official website too. Pigmentation is not bad and the overall look is quite plastic and almost neon. I think this is a good choice for those who like bright in your face colours in the summer as well as for those who, like me, like to wear such polishes in winter in order to counter the overall greyness.

Što se mazanja tiče, znamo da su žuti lakovi problematični. Neki manje, neki više. Ovo je relativno tipičan žuti lak po pitanju formule. Prvi sloj je veoma neujednačen, ali drugi sloj daje punu i relativno ujednačenu boju. Lak se donekle sam izjednačava što znači da nema razloga za brigu ako vam se pojave brazde u laku jer je sasvim moguće da će se površina izravnati. Meni se nije svuda izravnala pa sam nanela i treći sloj. Suši se prosečnom brzinom.

As far as the application is concerned, we know yellow polishes are troublesome. Some more, some less. Formula-wise this is quite typical yellow polish. The first coat is quite uneven, but the second one gives full and relatively even colour. The polish is somewhat self-leveling which means there's no reason to worry if it goes on a bit streaky as it is possible that it will even out. I still had some unevenness so I applied the third coat. It dries averagely fast.

Sve slike osim prve dve su snimljene na direktnom suncu. Prve dve su snimljene u senci. Na prvih šest slika imam tri sloja laka i nemam nadlak. Na poslednje dve slike imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak. Predstavljeni proizvod sam dobila na iskrenu recenziju. Za više informacija vidite moju politiku rada.

All photos except the first two were taken in sunshine. The first two were taken in shade. I have three coats of polish and no top coat in the first six photos. I have two coats of polish and no top coat in the last two photos. I have received this product for an honest review. For additional info see my disclosure policy.
