Essence I ♥ Trends lakovi

Kroz Essence ponudu lakova svake godine prođu desetine boja. Neke od njih se zadrže nekoliko sezona, druge svega par meseci. Među tim lakovima koji se često menjaju se nalaze lakovi iz I ♥ Trends linije. I same potkolekcije u sklopu ove linije se često menjaju, a pojedinačni lakovi se retko zadrže u prodaji duže od jedne sezone. Lakovi koje danas predstavljam su iz The Darks i The Metals podlinija. The Darks segment je povučen iz prodaje, a The Metals je još uvek aktuelan, u nešto izmenjenom sastavu. Nijedan od ova četiri laka nije više dostupan, mada se koji zaostali primerak Chrome Paradise možda još uvek može naći po sniženoj ceni u ponekom Liliju.

Each year dozens of polishes go through Essence range. Some of them stay for several seasons, while some ore withdrawn after only several months. Among those that are changed often are polishes from I ♥ Trends line. This line's sub-collections are also changed very often and individual polishes rarely stay in it for more than one season. Polishes I am showing today come form The Darks and The Metals sub-sections. The Darks is no longer available and The Metals is still available, albeit in somewhat changed line-up.

Essence I ♥ Trends The Metals 24 Chrome Paradise nisam planirala da ga uzmem jer mi je na promo slikama delovao kao zamena za Chic Reloaded. Tek sam na sniženju obratila pažnju na njega i pošto mi je delovao dovoljno drugačije ipak sam ga uzela. Ovo je znatno bleđi, ispraniji rođak Chic Reloaded. Preliva se iz čelično-plave u zasivljeno-lila. Dobro pokriva iz dva sloja, mada ni treći ne bi bio na odmet. Za moj ukus je suviše bled. Pretpostavljam da bi namazan preko crne osnove mogao izgledati bolje. Slike su snimljene na prirodnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

I did not intend to get Essence I ♥ Trends The Metals 24 Chrome Paradise because from promo shits it looked like a possible dupe for Chic Reloaded. Only when it was on final sale I had paid my attention to it and since it looked different enough, I had gotten it. This is a much paler, washed-out cousin of Chic Reloaded. It shifts from steely-blue to greyish-lilac. It gives good coverage in two coats, but another layer wouldn't hurt. It is too pale for my liking. I guess that it could look better if applied over black. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.

Essence I ♥ Trends The Darks 20 Turn On The Black sam uzela čim je kod nas stigla ova kolekcija, nadajući se da će biti posebniji nego što je u bočici delovao. Nažalost, ovaj lak je za mene razočaranje. Iako mu je boja relativno zanimljiva - tamno-siva sa bogatim šimerom i visokim sjajem, suviše je loše pigmentacije da bi njegova lepota mogla da se sagleda u potpunosti. Uz to je redak i svaki dodatni sloj je skidao prethodno nanesenu boju. Stoga ni sa tri sloja nisam dobila puno pokrivanje. Slike su snimljene na prirodnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

I got Essence I ♥ Trends The Darks 20 Turn On The Black as soon as the collection had arrived in our stores. I had hoped it would be more special than what the bottle had suggested. Sadly, it turned out to be a disappointment to me. Even though the colour is relatively interesting - dark grey with rich shimmer and high gloss, it is not pigmented enough to show off its beauty in full. Formula is thin and each layer would remove some of the previously applied colour, which left me with bald spots. Not even three coats could give me full and even coverage. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.

Essence I ♥ Trends The Darks 17 Indigo To Go sam kupila zajedno sa Turn On The Black. Njega sam uzela više da se utešim što nam Happy New Green nije stigao nego zato što sam ga baš želela. Na ovaj lak intenzivno plave boje i krupnog šimera nemam nikakvu zamerku, ali ovo nije moja boja. Na indirektnom svetlu čak daje blagi preliv na ljubičasto, ali nedovoljno upadljiv da bih ga mogla smatrati za duohrom. Pigmentacija mu je odlična. Dva sloja su sasvim dovoljna za puno pokrivanje. Slike su snimljene na prirodnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

Essence I ♥ Trends The Darks 17 Indigo To Go was the other polish I bought with Turn On The Black. I got it more because Happy New Green hadn't arrived than because I wanted this particular polish. I have no objections to this vivid blue polish with large shimmer, but it is not my colour. In indirect light it even has a slight shift to purple, but it is too faint for me to consider it a duochrome. Pigmentation is great. Two coats are good enough for even colour and full coverage. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.

Essence I ♥ Trends The Darks 18 Happy New Green nije bio predviđen za srpsko tržište, ali uz malu pomoć dragih prijatelja jedan primerak je iz Hrvatske našao svoj put do mene. Ovo je izrazito taman mat lak sa zelenim šimerom. Prijatno me je iznenadilo kako se maže, s obzirom na to da se mat lakovi često suše prebrzo da bi se mogli lepo naneti. Ovaj je sasvim dobre konzistencije i odlične pigmentacije. Dva sloja su dovoljna za punu boju i ravnomerno pokrivanje. Slike su snimljene na prirodnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

Essence I ♥ Trends The Darks 18 Happy New Green was not available in Serbia, but with little help from my dear friends, a bottle had found its way from Croatia to me. This is an extremely dark matte polish with green shimmer. I was pleasantly surprised by application. Matte polishes usually dry so fast that they are difficult to apply smoothly, but this one has good formula and great pigmentation. It takes two coats for full coverage and even colour. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
