Zoya Godiva

Posle niza upadljivih i jakih boja sam želela da nosim nešto mirnije na noktima, a pritom i da sprovedem mali eksperiment sa teksturisanim lakovima te sam posegnula za Godivom. Pre pet godina sam zažalila što je nisam uzela (i potom uzela Tomoko kao utehu), ali mi se posrećilo kada je Jeca odlučila da smanji svoju kolekciju te je Godiva ipak našla put do mene.

After a succession of strong, bold colours, I wanted to wear something more subtle on my nails, and also to conduct an experiment with textured polishes, so I reached for Godiva. Five years ago I regretted not getting it in time (and bought Tomoko as consolation), but I lucked out when Jeca decided to destash some of her collection so a bottle of Godiva did find its way to me.

Colores de Carol The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight

Konačno mi je stigla dugo očekivana porudžbina sa Lakodom sajta. U pretprodaji sam uzela svoje prve Colores de Carol lakove i naravno da sam odmah morala da probam neki od njih (i u najboljim danima je bila retkost da blogujem o laku onog dana kada sam ga namazala, ali ovo je jedan od tih izuzetaka). Već godinama sam u potrazi za dobrim jarkim narandžastim holo lakom. Kada sam videla slike The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight pomislila sam da je potraga gotova. Da li je zaista tako?

My long awaited preorder from Lakodom finally arrived this week. I have gotten my first Colores de Carol polishes and I had to try one of them ASAP (even in my best days I seldom blogged about a polish on the day I used it, but this is one of those exceptions). I have been looking for a good bright orange holo polish. When I saw Colores de Carol The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight in photos, I thought my search was over. But was it?

Golden Rose Holographic 07

Od svih holo lakova koje imam, najređe nosim srebrne/sive. Zašto sam onda uzela dva siva Golden Rose holo laka koji deluju kao djupovi za neke koje već imam u kolekciji? Zato što sam veverica, a ponekada i zmaj. Veverica kupuje da bi imala, ne nužno da bi koristila, a zmaja privlače svetlucave stvari. Dodajmo na to činjenicu da su GR lakovi veoma pristupačni i eto savršenog recepta za impulsivnu kupovinu. Na svu sreću (ili nesreću), nijedan od ova dva laka ne može više da se nađe, ali druge boje su još uvek dostupne.

Out of all holo polishes I have, I wear silver/grey ones the least. Why then did I buy two such Golden Rose polishes that look like dupes for some of the ones I alrady have in my collection? Acquisition disorder. I am a squirrel and sometimes a dragon. Squirrel buys things to own them, not necesarrily to use them, and dragon is drawn to shiny things. Add to that the fact that Golden Rose polishes are quite inexpensive and you have a perfect recipe for an impulsive purchase. Fortunately (or not), neither of the two polishes is available anymore, but in Serbia you can still find some of the other colours.

Dior Nirvana

Otkako se ponuda lakova sa posebnim efektima povećala, prošla me je volja za krem lakovima, iako oni čine četvrtinu moje kolekcije. Ovaj krem lak je čekao sedam godina da ga namažem. Ovo je prvi Dior lak koji sam kupila, a poslednji koji sam nosila.

Ever since the range of polishes with special effects increased, I have gone off creme polishes, even though they make about the quarter of my collection. This particular creme waited for seven years to be worn. It is the first Dior polish I ever bought, but the last one to be worn.

ILNP Riot

ILNP je veoma brzo i lako postao moj omiljeni boutique proizvođač lakova za nokte, a nije tajna da su mi zeleni lakovi omiljeni. Zato nije iznenađenje što sam spontano kupila ILNP Riot kada sam pre nekog vremena poručivala neke druge lakove. Ta je porudžbina bila sa sajta Lakodom, koji se na žalost zatvara, ali sam ILNP i dalje proizvodi ovaj lak i dostavlja za Srbiju.

ILNP quickly and easily became my favourite boutique nail polish brand, and it is no secret that green polishes are my favourite. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I threw in ILNP Riot in one of my recent nail polish orders. That order was from Lakodom, who are sadly closing their store, but ILNP is still making this polish and have their own online store and offer international delivery.
