Alessandro Go Magic Crystal Punk Green Underground

Magic City u svojoj ponudi Alessandro proizvoda ima i više setova lakova, često sa nekin posebnim efektom. Crystal Punk setovi se sastoje od crnog krem laka i topera sa ljuspicama u četiri boje, a ja imam Green Underground da vam pokažem. Lakovi su od po 5 ml. Moguće je da će se ovi setovi naći na Alessandro štandu na sajmu za vikend.

There are many Alessandro nail polish sets, most of them with some special effect. Crystal Punk sets consist of a black creme polish and a topper with flakes in four colours, and I have Green Underground to show you today. Polishes are in 5 ml bottles and can still be found on Ebay and similar websites.

Alessandro Midnight Black je klasičan crni krem lak odlične pigmentacije. Može proći kao jednoslojac. Očigledno je u pitanju stara proizvodnja jer ima veoma jak miris, koji me podseća na lakove za pečatiranje. Alessandro lakovi su reformulisani prošle godine, ali i ovaj je 5-free. Green Underground toper sadrži pretežno zelene ljuspice, sa ponekom plavom ili bakarnom, u bezbojnoj bazi. Kada gledam bočicu ne mogu reći da ljuspica ima malo, ali malo ih završi na četkici. Pokušala sam da ih na drugoj ruci nanesem sunđerom, što je svakako dalo bolje pokrivanje, ali tako nanesene ljuspice je veoma teško rasporediti po noktu. Većina ljuspica je dovoljno tanka i sitna da lepo naleže na nokat, ali našla se poneka koja je štrčala i koju nisam mogla da porekrijem čak ni debljim slojem Cuccio 7 Second nadlaka. I pored toga mislim da je ovaj efekat razbijenog stakla dovoljno zanimljiv da se vredi potruditi oko mazanja i topera i nadlaka. Slike su snimljene na prirodnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka, jedan sloj topera i nemam nadlak.

Alessandro Midnight Black is a classic black creme polish. It is well pigmented, a one-coater. Obviously this is from old line of polishes as it has very strong scent that reminds me of stamping polishes. Alessandro polishes have been reformulated last year, but this one is 5-free. Green Underground topper has mostly green flakes, with an odd blue and copper one here and there, suspended in clear base. When I look at the bottle, I can't say that they are sparse, but very few end up on brush. I have tried to sponge them on my other hand, which provided much better coverage, but those I could not arrange them as I wanted. Most of flakes are thin and tiny and they lay flat on the nail, but some of them were stiff and protruded from nail and I couldn't cover them up with a thick coat of Cuccio 7 Second top coat. Despite that, I think this shattered glass effect is interesting enough for you to take your time applying both topper and top coat. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish, one coat of topper and no top coat.
