Butter London Sprog

Spomenula sam u mesečnom pregledu da sam od Marije dobila neke lakove, a Butter London Sprog je jedan od njih. On mi je imenom prvi privukao pažnju. Sprog u britanskom žargonu znači "derle, derište" a izraz sam prvi put čula u The Fast Show u sklopu božićnog specijala Holy Sprog (možete pogledati klip na kraju članka). Butter London lakovi su američke proizvodnje, 3-free i nisu testirani na životinjama. Videla sam da ih ima u Nemačkoj u Douglas parfimerijama i tamo koštaju oko 18 €. Ova nijansa je dostupna samo u Ulta radnjama.

I have mentioned in my monthly overview that Maria had sent me some polishes. Butter London Sprog is one of those polishes and the first one to catch my eye with its name. In British slang "sprog" is a term for a child and I have first heard it in The Fast Show Christmas special Holy Sprog (you can see the video at the end of this article). Butter London is an American brand, polishes are 3-free and they aren't tested on animals. In Germany in Douglas drugstores they retail for about 18 €. This shade is exclusive to Ulta.

Sprog je prigušena plavo-ljubičasta krema visokog sjaja. Ovo je boja sa kojom imam komplikovan odnos. Kao boja mi se dopada, ali hladne nijanse meni ne stoje dobro tako da se retko odlučujem da je nosim. U tim retkim situacijama me ne zanima da li mi stoji ili ne, samo uživam u boji. Ovo je bila jedna od takvih situacija. Konzistencija laka je bila savršena (manje i ne očekujem od ovako skupog proizvoda). Lak se maže fino i lako i delimično je samoravnajuć. Brzina sušenja je brza, a postojanost odlična. Jedino mi se ne sviđa što spoljni čep mora da se skine, a ispod ostaje meni prekratka i nezgodna rebrasta drška četkice. I pored toga mislim da ću sledeći put kada se budem našla u zemlji u kojoj mogu da kupim Butter London uzeti barem British Racing Green. Slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

Sprog is a glossy, muted periwinkle blue creme. Periwinkle is a shade I have a love-hate relationship with. I love it as colour, but cool shades don't look good on me so I seldom wear it. But on those rare occasions I don't care if it looks good on me or not, I just enjoy the colour. This was one of those situations. Formula of this polish is perfect (I expect nothing less than that from a high end brand). The polish goes on smoothly and it is somewhat self-levelling. It also dries fast and is long lasting. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the outer cap has to be removed and beneath it is a ribbed handle that is too short for my liking. Even so, I think that next time I go to a country that I can get Butter London in I'll take at least British Racing Green. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
