Dior Vernis Gris Montaigne

Kroz moj blog ste mogli da primetite da nisam neki ljbitelj HE lakova. Meni odbojnost ne izaziva njihova previsoka cena sama po sebi, jer imam lakove koji koštaju skoro isto kao neki od njih. Stvar je u tome što sam iz tuđih iskustava zaključila da ta cena neretko nije u srazmeri sa kvalitetom, a firma mi ništa ne znači. Ponekada se ipak nađe neki poseban HE lak, a ako uspem da ga nađem polovnog po nižoj ceni, tu priliku neću propustiti. Dior Gris Montaigne je upravo takav lak.

So far, you could notice from my blog that I am not particularly fond of HE polishes. I am not on the fence because of their too high price, because I have some other polishes with quite close price tags. The thing is that I have learned from other people's experiences that that high price is usually not backed up by high quality, and I don't care about brand names. However, from time to time I'll find an interesting HE polish, and if I manage to find it second-hand at lower price, I won't miss that chance. Dior Gris Montaigne is one such polish.

Dior Vernis Gris Montaigne (707) bio je deo Gris City kolekcije za proleće 2011. Inspirisan je jednom od boja Dior butika na Aveniji Montaigne u Parizu. Ovo je srednje-tamna siva krema bez jasno plavih, zelenih, braon ili žutih primesa. Sjaj laka je visok, plastičan. Pigmentacija je solidna. Dva sloja su potrebna za punu boju i pokrivenost, ali savetujem da nanosite srednje-debele slojeve kako biste izbegli neujednačenosti. Ono gde me je ovaj lak oduševio je brzina sušenja. Namazala sam ga u brzini, pola sata-sat kasnije sam otišla da se tuširama i perem kosu i oduševila sam se što se lak nije ni na koji način poremetio. Ova boja se više ne proizvodi, ali ako na krpicama ili negde drugde imate priliku da ga nabavite, obavezno ga uzmite jer vredi svake pare. Slike su snimljene na prirodnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

Dior Vernis Gris Montaigne (707) was part of Gris City collectionfor spring 2011. It was inspired by one of colours from Avenue Montaigne, Paris Dior Boutique colour scheme. This is a medium-dark grey polish creme, without clear blue, green, brown or yellow undertone. It has high, plastic-like, gloss. It has decent pigmentation. It takes two coats for full colour and even coverage, but I suggest you apply medium-thick coats in order to avoid any patchiness. Where this polish really shines is drying speed. I applied it in haste and took a shower with hair-washing half an hour to one hour later and was thrilled to see that the polish didn't budge. This colour is discontinued, but if you manage to find a second-hand bottle, do get it because it is worth it. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
