Avon Mudslide

Poslednjih par dana nosim jedan neočekivan lak, koji je put do mene našao zahvaljujući Maloj Palčici. Neočekivan je pre svega zato što je Avon, a ja tu kozmetiku jedva da koristim, a potom i zbog boje. Ovo je lak iz Gel Finish linije, koji, poput mnogih "the gel" lakova, pored gela ili gel laka prošao nije, a vala nema ni viši sjaj ni duže trajanje od lakova koji nemaju to "the gel" u imenu. Bočica je od 12 ml, a cena varira od kataloga do kataloga, od 490 dinara (puna cena) do 229 dinara, koliko trenutno košta na Avon.rs.

Last couple of days I've been wearing an unexpected polish, which found its way to me thanks to Mala Palčica. It is unexpected firstly because it is from Avon, and I seldom use that cosmetics, and secondly because of colour. This is a polish from Gel Finish line, which, like so many "the gel" polishes has nothing in common with gel or gel polish and it neither has higher gloss nor it lasts any longer than polishes that don't flaunt "the gel" in their names. It comes in 12 ml bottle and price varies from one campaign to another.

Mada mi je malo nejasno zašto bi neko želeo kozmetički proizvod da nazove po klizištu, moram reći da Mudslide uopšte nije loše imenovan. Bojom me podseća na masno blato, ono koje ostavlja fleke kakve se jedino mogu skinuti makazama. Pretežno je braon, ali sa maslinastim i sivim primesama. Možda asocijacija na blato nije najprijatnija, a boja nije najlepša, ali je veoma zanimljiva i prilično nosiva. Rekla bih da je neutralnog podtona te da stoga odgovara svima. Sjaj mu je isprva visok, ali ovo je lak fleksibilne strukture i zato su mi u njemu tokom noći ostali otisci kose, ćebeta, jastuka... Za puno pokrivanje su mi bila potrebna dva sloja, koja sam lako nanela kako zbog prilično tečne formule tako i zbog tanke, ali fino oblikovane četkice. Brzina sušenja je prosečna. Posle jednog dana je lak počeo da mi se krza na obe ruke. Uz nadlak, koji ja nisam nosila, možda bi trajao duže i verovatno svoje tragove ne bi ostavili redovni krivci za gubitak sjaja lak. Slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

While I am baffled by the idea of wearing a cosmetics product named after a mudslide, I have to say that Mudslide is aptly named. It reminds me of greasy mud, the one which leaves stains that can only be removed with scissors. It is mostly brown, but it has olive and drab tinge. Perhaps association with mud is not the most pleasant one and this colour may not be the the prettiest, but it is very interesting and rather wearable. I'd say that it is neutral in terms of tone, so it should suit everybody. At first the gloss is very high, but because of flexible structure I ended up with hair, pillow, blanket (...) marks. It gave full coverage in two easy coats and it went on smoothly thanks to quite runny formula and thin, well shaped brush. Drying time is average. I had some tipwear on both hands after just one day. Had I worn top coat, it may have lasted a bit longer and usual suspects that dull shine may not have left their mark. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
