Aura Twins 06

Pre par godina sam slučajno nabasala na veoma neobičan lak domaće proizvodnje. Aurin dvostrani lak koji je na jednoj strani imao nadlak sa ljuspicama nije mogao da mi promakne te sam ga ponela kući i odmah se bacila u potragu za informacijama o njemu. Nažalost, jedini podatak do kog sam uspela da dođem je da se ova kolekcija lakova u tom momentu nije proizvodila već više od pet godina. Kadašnja je kolekcija, koliko je lakova imala niti kojih su boja oni bili mi je i dalje nepoznanica, kao i zapremina bočica. Volela bih da se Aura potrudi i ponovo napravi neki toper poput ovog jer nam fale takvi proizvodi na tržištu.

A couple of years ago I stumbled upon an unusual nail polish by a local brand. Aura's double-sided nail polish that contained a flakies topper had caught my eye so I had brought it home and I immediately tried to find any information about it. Sadly, the only info I could get is that that collection had been discontinued for over five years at that point. When it was made, how many polishes it consisted of, what colours were they and how much product is there in bottles is still a mystery to me. I wish Aura would try and make a topper such as this one as we are in need for such product on Serbian market.

Aura Twins 06 je dvostrani lak koji se jedne strane ima prilično neutralan nude lak sa šimerom, a sa druge strane nadlak ispunjen multihromatskim ljuspicama. Sam lak mi nije zanimljiv iako mi nošen sam stoji prilično dobro. Zanimljiva strana ovog dvojca je toper i to iz više razloga. Prvi je, naravno, činjenica da Aura može da napravi takav toper i da su to učinili pre nego što je ovaj trend uzeo maha. Drugi je da toper isprva deluje bezbojno, ali to nije. Na slikama zapravo možete videti koliko je izmenio boju baznog laka. Da li je to trebalo tako da bude ili su ljuspice vremenom otpustile boju, ostaće misterija. Treća važna stvar je da ova kombinacija boja nikako ne ide dobro zajedno. Bazna boja je suviše svetla i neutralna da bi prelivanje boja ljuspica od zelene preko zlatne do narandžaste moglo da dođe do ikakavog izražaja. Ljuspica je malo u ovoj bazi pa bi više slojeva bilo potrebno za neki jači efekat. Slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka, sloj topera i nemam nadlak.

Aura Twins 06 is a dual-sided nail polish that has a rather neutral shimmery nude polish on one side and multichromatic flakies topper on the other end. Polish itself is not that interesting to me, despite suiting me quite well. The interesting side of this polish is this topper. Firstly, it is interesting to know that Aura could make such polish and that they had developed it before it came into fashion. Secondly, while flakie base looks clear, it isn't. You can see in photos how much it had changed colour of base polish. I do not know it that is the way it should be or flakes released some tint. Thirdly, these colours don't work well together. Base colour is too light and neutral for colour shift of flakies from green to gold to orange to come to life. Flakies are also quite sparse so two coats would be needed to get stronger effect. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish, a coat of topper and no top coat.
