NYX Girls Dorothy

Kako izgleda lakoholičarkina prva poseta novom mestu? U mom slučaju je podrazumevala da pravo sa Schiphola bez razgledanja hvatam voz za Utreht, koji je prelep grad, a zatim da prođem kroz najveći tržni centar u Nizozemskoj, Hoog Catharijne, da bih uopšte izašla iz stanice. U tržnom centru ima svačega, ali mene butici, bioskop i hrana ne zanimaju. Pažnju me privlači Douglas parfimerija. Posle manje od 10 minuta u Utrehtu kupila sam lak - Dorothy iz NYX Girls linije. U trenutku objavljivanja ovog posta ponovo sam na putu i ne sumnjam da ću imati još koju sličnu situaciju.

How does a polishaholic's first visit to a new place look like? In my case it meant catching a train to Utrecht straight from Schiphol without having any time to browse around and once in Utrecht, which is an adorable city, I had to pass through the largest shopping mall in the Netherlands, Hoog Catharijne, in order to exit train station in the first place. There is so much going on at the mall, but I don't care about the boutiques, cinema or food. Douglas perfume store draws my attention. After less than 10 minutes in Utrecht I had bought a nail polish - NYX Girls Dorothy.

Dorothy (NGP209) je drogerijska verzija NYX Dark Glitter (NPS217) i djup za daleko skuplji Deborah Lippman Ruby Red Slippers. Ovo je prozračan crni lak ispunjen metalik crvenim šestougaonim šljokicama u dve veličine. Sam po sebi je suviše prozračan i nedovoljno crn za moj ukus, ali jedan sloj preko crnog laka izgleda savršeno. Kao kod drugih lakova sa krupnijim šljokicama i ovde treba obratiti pažnju na to da šljokice ne štrče sa ivice nokta jer to može da ubrza krzanje laka. Zbog šljokica se ovaj lak ne suši do visokog sjaja.

Dorothy (NGP209) is a drugstore version of NYX Dark Glitter (NPS217) and a dupe for far more expensive Deborah Lippman Ruby Red Slippers. This is a translucent black polish filled with two sizes of metallic red hexagonal glitter. On its ow it is too sheer and not black enough for my liking, but it looks perfect layered over black polish. Like with other polishes with large glitter you should take care not to have any glitter sticking from your nail because it can facilitate chipping. Because of glitter this polish doesn't dry to a high gloss.

Po pitanju kvaliteta ovaj lak zaista ne ispunjava moja očekivanja. Nanosi se okej za šljokičavi lak. Nije potrebno natapkavati ga već je dovoljno mazati ga kao bilo koji običan lak. Suši se veoma dugo. Zapravo prvi put kada sam ga nosila dva sloja laka se nisu osušila ni posle dva sata. Morala sam da ga skinem tada jer sam slučajno zakačila odeću rukom i svukla skoro sav lak sa nekoliko noktiju. Drugi put sam ga nosila preko proverenog laka i proverene baze sa proverenim nadlakom i počeo je da se krza istog dana, što me je rastužilo jer je izgledao savršeno.

When it comes to quality this polish leaves a lot to be desired. Application is all right for a glittery polish. You don't have to dab it, but just paint your nails as regular. It takes forever to dry. Actually when I had worn it for the first time two coats of this polish didn't dry for two hours. I had to remove it because I accidentally touched my clothes and dragged nearly all the polish from my nails. Other time I decided to layer it over my trusted base coat, my trusted black polish and with my trusted top coat and it had chipped the same day. It saddens me because the polish did look perfect.

Sve slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Na prve četiri slike imam jedan sloj NYX Girls Dorothy preko Don Juan One Coat OC229 i sloj Cult Nails Wicked Fast nadlaka. Na ostale četiri slike imam samo dva sloja Nyx Girls Dorothy i nemam nadlak.

All photos were taken in daylight. In the first four photos I have one coat of NYX Girls Dorothy over Don Juan One Coat OC229 and a coat Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat. In the other four photos I have only two coats of Nyx Girls Dorothy and no top coat.
