Zoya Envy

Jeste li spremni za jednu jesenju boju? Envy je prigodno nazvana zelena krema iz Dare kolekcije za jesen 2009. godine koja me je podsetila na jedan predivan prsten koji dugo nisam nosila. Lak mi se toliko dopao da sam ga nosila dva puta tokom nedelju dana, što se zaista dešava retko. 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.

Are you ready for a true autumn colour? Envy is quite aptly named green creme from Dare collection for autumn 2009. It reminded me of a gorgeous ring I haven't worn for quite some time. Zoya polishes don't contain toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and animal products and are not tested on animals.

Envy (ZP490) je na sajtu opisana kao zacrnjena zelena sa suptilnim žutim podtonom i jedva vidljivim šimerom i mislim da je to odličan opis. Ovo je prilično zagasita tamno zelena. Voskasti sjaj i boja koja nije ujednačena već je nekako zrnasta sasvim podsećaju na žad. Kad kažem da je boja zrnasta ne mislim da je neka tekstura osetna pod prstima već da se čini kao da je sačinjena od čestica tamne boje koje nisu sasvim umešane u svetliju bazu. To se vidi pri prvom sloju, kasnije se boja izjednači. Spomenuti šimer je zaista jedva vidljiv (ja sam ga videla tek pod jakom neonskom lampom).

On the official website Envy (ZP490) is described as deep blackened green with subtle yellow undertones and barely-perceptible shimmer and I think this is an excellent description. It is quite muted dark green. The waxy finish and the colour that is sort of grainy remind me of jade. It seems as if the colour consists of dark particles suspended in lighter base. It is visible on the first coat, afterwards the colour gets fairly even. Aforementioned shimmer is truly barely visible (I had only seen it under strong neon spotlight).

Mazanje je išlo bez ikakvih problema. Lak nije mnogo gust i dva tanka sloja su dovoljna za punu pokrivenost, mada ne i za sasvim ravnomernu boju, ali ta neujednačenost je primetna samo na slikama. Problem je nastao kada sam lak već namazala. Suši se brzo, ali kako se sušio tako su počeli da mi se pojavljuju mehurići i nastavili su da mi se pojavljuju sigurno dva sata nakon mazanja, kada je lak bio uveliko suv. No drugi put kada sam ga mazala nije bilo nikakvih mehurića tako da prvi slučaj pripisujem vrućem i sparnom vremenu. Treba nositi dva sloja baze ispod ovog laka jer lak ostavlja fleke.<

Application was free of any trouble. The polish isn't very thick, but it took me two thin coats for full coverage, although not for the complete evenness of the colour, but this unevenness is visible only in photos. The problem occurred after the polish was on. It dries fast, but as it dried it started to bubble up and it continued to do so for about two hours, well after it was dry. But the second time I wore this polish I had no bubbling at all so I put the first issue down to hot and humid weather. This polish needs two coats of base coat because it stains.
