A England Virgin Queen

Adina, žena koja stoji iza A England, poslednjih nekoliko godina kao da se specijalizovala za veoma nežne holose (ahem, kolekcija Ballerina). U kolekciji Elizabeth & Mary se našao jedan takav lak, ali daleko neobičnije boje i naravno da sam ga morala uzeti. A England lakovi imaju istu cenu na Hypnotic Polish i na NailLand-u - 9,40 € za bočicu od 11 ml.

Adina, the lady behind A England, seems to have specialized for very delicate holo polishes (ahem, Ballerina collection). Elizabeth & Mary collection also has one such polish, but much more interesting in terms of tone and I just had to have it. A England polishes retail for the same price at Hypnotic Polish and NailLand - € 9.40 for 11 ml.

ILNP Mountain View

Moja kolekcija indie lakova je skromna, delom zbog njihove slabije dostupnosti, delom zbog cene, delom zato što ima toliko brendova da je teško odlučiti se. No za mene se jedan brend izdvojio kako svojom paletom boja, tako i svojom ambalažom, koja ne deluje kao da je indie već kao da je high end (zapravo se više i ne vode kao indie već kao boutique brend). To je brend koji imenom sumira stav svake lakoholičarke prema lakovima - ILNP (I Love Nail Polish). ILNP lakovi imaju 12 ml i na NailLand sajtu koštaju 10,6-12,3 € u zavisnosti od finiša i kolekcije. NailLand šalje robu širom sveta - za Evropu šalju GLS-om (General Logistics Systems) i mađarskom poštom (Hungarian Post), a za ostatak sveta samo preko mađarske pošte. Za Srbiju šalju preko mađarske pošte (sa praćenjem) i poštarina je 10 € za narudžbine do 5 proizvoda, odn. 15 € za narudžbine preko 5 proizvoda, a besplatna je za pošiljke preko 75 € odn. 100 €. Ako se nađete u Budimpešti, možete posetiti i njihovu radnju u centru WestEnd u Váci ulici. Takođe svake nedelje organizuju takmičenja na svom Instagram nalogu u kojima možete osvojiti kupone za popust na njihovom sajtu.

I have only a modest selection of indie polishes, partly because they are not as easily accessible, partly because of their price, partly because there are so many brands that it is difficult to make a choice. However, there is a brand that in my book set itself apart from others in terms of colour scheme and its packaging, which doesn't look like indie, but like high end packaging (in fact they aren't an indie brand any more, but a boutique brand). Name of this brand sums up what every polishaholic feels - ILNP (I Love Nail Polish). ILNP polishes come in 12 ml bottles and retail for 10.6-12.3 € at NailLand, depending on finish and collection. NailLand ships worldwide - from Europe via GLS (General Logistics Systems) and Hungarian Post, and for rest of the world only via Hungarian Post. Shipping via Hungarian Post is with tracking and costs € 10 for orders up to five items and € 15 for orders larger than five items. They also offer free shipping for orders over €75 (up to five items) and € 100 (over five items). If you are in Budapest, you can visit their shop at WestEnd City Center at Váci street. They also organize weekly contests on their Instagram and you can win discount for shopping on their website.

Born Pretty BP-L022

Prošle nedelje sam vam pokazala jednu od najstarijih, a danas vam predstavljam jednu od najnovijih Born Pretty Store pločica. Jedan od motiva sa ove pločice ste mogli da vidite i u prošlom usklađenom manikiru, a danas imam još tri nova manikira.

Last week I have shown you one of the oldest Born Pretty Store image plates and this week I have prepared for you one of the newest ones. You have already seen one of these motifs in last week's Matching Manicure and today you can see three new manis.

OPI At Your Quebec & Call

OPI je nedavno promenio izgled nalepnice na dnu svojih bočica, nalepnice koja sadrže sve važne podatke o tom laku - ime, šifru boje, bar kod, serijski broj bočice, sastav... Boju teksta su vratili iz zelene u crnu, ali i sam dizajn nalepnice je promenjen. Ovo nije prvi put da su napravili takvu izmenu. Lak koji vam danas pokazujem je iz takozvane "black label" ere, vremena pre nego što je OPI izbacio iz sastava toluen i dibutil ftalat, vremena kada su podaci na nalepnicama bili ispisani crnom bojom. Ovi lakovi se sada teško mogu naći, a ja sam na ovaj sasvim slučajno nabasala pre par godina u apoteci Biljana i Luka.

OPI has recently changed the look of the bottom label on their bottles, the label that has all the important information about that polish - name, colour code, bar code, batch code, ingredients... They have reverted from green letters to black and they have changed the overall design of the label. This isn't the first time they've done it, though. Polish I am showing you today comes from so-called "black label era", time before OPI was 3-free, time when their labels first had black lettering. These polishes are very difficult to find and I have accidentally stumbled upon this one some years ago.

After one newer image plate it is now time to show you one of the older MoYou Nails stamping plate.

Alessandro Heavy Metal Call Me Hero

Danas vam predstavljam jedan od martovskih noviteta i jedan od moja prva tri Alessandro laka. Još sam na jesenjem Dodiru Pariza zagledala Heavy Metal kolekciju, ali pošto su mi lakovi delovali suviše prozračno nisam kupila nijedan. Onda su u martu Alessandro Srbija i Lilly imali 2 + 1 gratis akciju te sam bezuspešno obišla obližnje Lilije u potrazi za ovim lakovima. Ne znam kako i zašto, ali oni nisu dostupni u drogerijama, možda čak ni u Sephora radnjama. Na svu sreću mogli su se naručiti direktno od uvoznika i ponovo moram pohvaliti njihovu korisničku službu na uslužnosti, ažurnosti i ekspeditivnosti. Lakovi iz ove kolekcije su koštali 711 dinara po komadu. Imaju 10 ml. Spremite se na mnogo slika.

Today I have one of my new arrivals from March and also one of the only three Alessandro polishes I own. I was looking at Heavy Metal polishes at last autumn's Touch of Paris fair, but I decided not to get any because of their sheerness. Then Alessandro Srbija and Lilly drugstores had a "2 + 1" special offer in March so I hit the stores hoping to find this collection. I don't know how and why, but this collection wasn't available in drugstores, maybe even in Sephora. Fortunately, I could order directly from our importer and I have to commend their customer service. Get ready for pics galore.

OPI Warm & Fozzie

Jesenas sam na Dodiru Pariza napokon poklekla pred Warm & Fozzie koji se već dugo nalazio u kurpici sa lakovima na rasprodaji. Onda dugo nisam mogla da smislim kako da ga upotrebim, kada da ga nosim, jer u pitanju je zaista veoma svečana nijansa, a ja retko idem na mesta gde bi takav lak bio prikladan. Mogli ste da ga vidite u manikiru sa reptilskom šarom. Bez obzira na to što je Warm & Fozzie bio sezonski lak koji je odavno povučen iz prodaje još uvek ga možete naći i u apotekama i u korpici na sajmovima, a verovatno i u Nail Lineu.

Last autumn I finally gave in and got Warm & Fozzie, a polish I've been seeing for quite some time in the discount bin. Then I couldn't think of how and when to wear it because this is a really fancy shade and I rarely go to places this sort of polish would be appropriate. You could see it on my blog in reptile skin manicure.

OPI Muir Muir on the Wall

Muir Muir on the Wall (NL F61) bio je lak o koji sam se zaljubila kada sam videla najave za kolekciju San Francisco. Onda su se pojavile prve fotografije laka i nisam bila toliko oduševljena njime, posebno kada sam videla poređenja sa Every Month is Oktoberfest. Potom sam ga videla u bočici i ponovo sam se zaljubila i, na svu sreću, Frenzy je bila veoma ljubazna da mi ga pozajmi kako bih konačno odlučila da li ga želim ili ne. San Francisco kolekcija se nalazi u prodaji i svi lakovi iz ove kolekcije bi trebalo da se mogu naći u apotekama koje sarađuju sa OPI Srbija, neki se mogu naručiti iz Nail Linea.

Muir Muir on the Wall (NL F61) was the polish I fell in love with when I first saw the promo pictures for San Francisco collection. Then the first swatches started to pop up and I was underwhelmed, especially after I had seen comparisons with Every Month is Oktoberfest. Then I saw the bottle in person and I fell in love with it again and, fortunately, Frenzy was kind enough to lend me this polish so I could finally decide if I wanted it or not.

Sephora Nail designer Bronze glitter

Ovim šljokicama završavam prikazivanje jesenjih noviteta u Sephora parfimerijama. Sephora Nail designer šljokice se proizvode u tri boje - crnoj, plavoj i bronzanoj. Pakovanja su od 1,2 grama i košta 950 dinara. Kutijica je dobro obezbeđena - prvo celofanom, a potom i dvostrukim poklopcem, tako da ste sigurni da vam se sadržaj neće rasuti.

With this product I am bringing reviews of autumn additions to Sephora and Sephora exclusive range to a close. Sephora Nail designer glitter is made in three colours - black, blue and bronze. It comes in 1.2 g boxes and costs about 9 €. Each box is well protected - first with a cellophane wrap and then with two caps, so you can rest assured that the product wont spill.

Miss Sporty Metal Flip 040 Fiery Blaze

Od jesenas sam željno iščekivala da Miss Sporty Metal Flip i Rimmel Metal Rush lakovi stignu kod nas. Na kraju sam u Nizozemskoj uzela onaj koji me je najviše zanimao - Metal Flip 040. Kako to obično biva, nedelju ili dve nakon što sam se vratila sa puta Mauricius je ubacio i Metal Flip kolekciju u ponudu. U bočicama je 7 ml laka, a četkica je široka i zaobljena. Metal Flip lakovi u DM drogerijama koštaju 275 dinara, u Mauricius parfimerijama 225 dinara.

I've been waiting for Miss Sporty Metal Flip and Rimmel Metal Rush polishes to arrive in Serbia. In the end I bought Metal Flip 040, the one that appealed to me the most, in the Netherlands. As it often happens, a week or two after I came back the importer put the Metal Flip collection in the stores. Bottles hold 7 ml of product. The brush is wide and rounded.
