ILNP Reminisce H

Od svih boutique brendova, ILNP mi je omiljen. Sećam se kada su izbacili kolekciju Ultra Chrome™ lakova, a potom i unapređene verzije sa holo česticama. Obe kolekcije su bile toliko uspešne da su ovi lakovi i dalje u ponudi i mogu se nabaviti direktno sa proizvođačevog sajta ili kod bilo kog od mnogih distributera.

Our of all the boutique nail polish brands, ILNP is my favourite. I remember when they first launched their Ultra Chrome™ collection, and then holo versions of those polishes. Both collections were so successfull that those polishes are still available on their website and from any of their distributors.

Zoya Olivera

Kada su zimus posle dugog, predugog čekanja konačno stigle nove kolekcije Zoya lakova u Ultra Sun, imala sam spisak lakova koje sam uzela u razmatranje za kupovinu. Olivera nije bila među njima, ali je jedan pogled uživo na nju bio dovoljan da budem sasvim očarana te sam je bez razmišljanja ponela kući. Oliveru i druge Zoya lakove možete kupiti u Ultra Sun-u i kod njihovih distributera po ceni od 949 dinara.

When, after too long a wait, new Zoya collections finally arrived in Ultra Sun, I went there with a list of polishes I considered buying. Olivera was not on that list, but a single glance at it in person was quite enough to charm me, so I had to take her home with me.

Matching Manicures - Matte

Mat lakovi i manikiri su nešto što mnogo volim, a tako često smetnem s uma. Na svu sreću, tu je usklađeni manikir da me podseti da se nokti mogu matirati i da je ponekada veoma poželjno to učiniti.

Matte polishes and manis in general are something I like a lot, but so often forget. Fortunately, Matching Manicure is here to remind me that I can mattify my nalis and that sometimes it is preferable to do so.

ILNP Masquerade (H)

Među onih nekoliko ILNP lakova koje sam letos nabavila našao se i par duohroma u mojoj omiljenoj kombinaciji boja -zeleno-ljubičasto. Od svih njih jedino za ovaj smatram da mi zaista nije bio potreban jer suviše slične lakove već imam. Pakovanje je od 12 ml i košta €12,3 i na Hypnotic Polish i na NailLand.

There was a couple of duochrome polishe in my favourite colour shift (purple to green) among those ILNP polishes that I got this summer, This is the only one I think that I could give a miss, because it is too similar to other polishes I already have. It comes in 12 ml bottle and retails for €12.3 both on Hypnotic Polish and NailLand.

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.

Born Pretty Chameleon 33

Nedavno sam dobila paketić sa nekim lepim Born Pretty proizvodima, a među njima je bio i duohromatski lak koji danas predstavljam. Born Pretty Chameleon lakovi su zbunjujuće spakovani u bočice sa natpisom Holo Polish, a pakovanje je od 6 ml. Cena im je previsoka i za količinu i za kvalitet ($15.88), ali često su na sniženju te se ovaj trenutno može kupiti za "samo" $6.99.

I have recently received a package with some nice Born Pretty goodies, and this duochromatic polish was among them. Born Pretty Chameleon polishes come in 6 ml bottles with confusing Holo Polish label. I find the price of $15.88 too high for this amount and quality, but they are often at some sort of discount and at the moment this one retails for "just" $6.99.

Alessandro Heavy Metal Shake Your Head

Nisu prošle ni dve godine otkako sam kompletirala Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal četvorku, a već nosim taj poslednji kupljeni lak iz te linije. :D Nisam planirala da ga uopšte uzmem, ali bilo bi mi žao da ga nisam kupila, zbog celovitosti kolekcije. Ovih lakova još uvek ima (mada mislim da su ostale svega dve nijanse) i mogu se nabaviti direktno od uvoznika.

Not two years have passed since I rounded up the Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal foursome, and I am already wearing the one that I had bought last. :D At first I wasn't planning to get it at all, but it would be a shame had I not bought it because now I have the entire collection. This was a limited edition and I am unsure if it can still be found somewhere.

China Glaze Cabin Fever

Poslednjih nekoliko dana se kroz oblake promalja i neko svetlo te sam iskoristila priliku da malo nosim jedan od aktuelnih duohromatskih lakova. Ovo je China Glaze Cabin Fever, koji ne samo što je iz jesenje kolekcije (The Great Outdoors), nego je i u pravim jesenjim bojama. Možete ga nabaviti u Alexandar Cosmetics u pakovanju od 14 ml po ceni od 498 dinara, ili u mini bočici od 3,6 ml za 213 dinara.

These past few days we've had some light shining through clouds so I took the opportunity to wear one of current duochrome polishes. This is China Glaze Cabin Fever, which is not only part of an autumn collection (The Great Outdoors), but is in true autumnal shades.

Depend Chameleon 2089 Gold Rush

Polako ali sigurno raščišćavam gomilicu starih neisprobanih ili nepredstavljenih lakova (treba napraviti mesta za nove). Ovaj spada u drugu kategoriju jer isproban je bio, ali ne i predstavljen i do sada ste ga mogli videti samo na mahove u nekim pečatnim manikirima. Kupljen u junu 2014. godine, ovo je poslednji Depend Chameleon koji je došao u moju kolekciju. Lakovi iz ove kolekcije imaju 5 ml i koštaju 289 dinara, a čini mi se da su u DMu bili nedavno na sniženju.

Slowly but steadily I am moving through my pile of untried or not shown polishes (I need to make space for new ones). This polish is from the latter category because it has been tried, but I haven't blogged about it and I have shown you only glimpses of it in some stampicures. Bought in June 2014. this is the last Depend Chameleon polish to come into my collection. Depend Chameleon polishes come in 5 ml bottles and have probably been discontinued or sold out everywhere, but they can still be found in Serbian drugstores.

OPI Not Like The Movies

Opet pravim mali izlet među OPI staritete i ovom prilikom predstavljam lak koji je dugo čekao da se nateram da ga probam, a potom je veoma brzo napustio moju kolekciju. Mislim da se još uvek može naći na sajmovima u čuvenoj korpici sa OPI lakovima na sniženju.

I am making another little trip among OPI oldies and today I am showing you a polish that had waited so long for me to bring myself to try it and it had left my collection soon afterwards.

Depend Chameleon 2084 Peacock Shades

Krajnje neočekivano za LE kolekciju, Depend Chameleon, verovatno najveća, a moguće i jedina kolekcija duohrom lakova u ponudi na našem tržištu, još uvek je dostupna u našim radnjama. U kolekciji je dvanaest lakova označenih brojevima, mada se na Depend Facebook strani mogu naći i njihova imena. Lakovi iz Depend Chameleon kolekcije imaju 5 ml i koštaju 289 dinara, mada su u M Drogerie verovatno na sniženju.

Quite unexpected for a LE collection, Depend Chameleon, probably the largest and maybe the only duochrome polish collection on Serbian market, still is available in our stores. There are twelve polishes in the collection and they are all numbered, but names can be found on Depend Facebook page. Depend Chameleon polishes come in 5 ml bottles.

Matching Manicures - Stamping

Dugo nisam pečatirala pa evo prilike da to učinim za usklađeni manikir. :D Šalim se, naravno, ali ovog puta pečatiranje radim na malo drugačiji način. Odlučila sam da isprobam par tehnika koje nisam - pravljenje pečatiranih nalepnica i lead-lighting tehniku. Morala sam da uposlim sve pečate koje imam i nadam se da će vam se rezultat dopasti.

It's been such a long time since I last did a stampicure so I'll rectify that for this Matching Manicure. :D I'm joking, naturally, but this time I am going for a different form of stamping. I wanted to try a couple of techniques I haven't tried so far - making stamped decals and lead-lighting. I had to put all of my stampers into use and I hope you'll like the result.

China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You

U mesečnom pregledu sam spomenula neočekivani poklon od Jelene. U pitanju je veoma neobičan China Glaze lak, koji mi je zadovoljstvo da vam danas pokažem. China Glaze lakovi koštaju 498 din, a možete ih nabaviti preko Alexandar Cosmetics i njihovih distributera.

I have mentioned in my monthly overview an unexpected gift from Jelena. It was an unusual China Glaze polish that I am happy to show you today.

Catrice Chromeo & Julia

Ne znam kako sam zaboravila na ovaj lak kada sam ga mesecima jurila (tačnije molila ljude da mi ga ujure) po inostranstvu. Do mene je došao prošlog maja sa još tri Catrice Luxury Lacquers Chameleon laka koja mi je poslala Maria i onda sam ga potpuno neopravdano zapostavila. Sada kada je krenulo lepše vreme ipak želim da uživam u ovoj lepoti koja menja boje i podseća na svitanje. Kako je bio deo ograničene kolekcije ovaj lak više nije u prodaji, ali još se kod nas može naći pravi duplikat.

I have no idea how could I forget about this polish that I was looking for abroad (or better said that I was begging people to find it for me). It had reached me last May along with three other Catrice Luxury Lacquers Chameleon nail polishes that Maria was kind to send me and I had completely forgotten about it afterwards. Now that we have nice weather I want to enjoy this colour-changing beauty that resembles sunrise. Since it was limited edition it is no longer available, but there is a true dupe for it.

Essence Colour & go 173 Over the Rainbow

Stičem utisak da s obzirom na to koliko Essence lakova imam relativno retko pišem o njima. To je pre svega zato što ih retko nosim same, a više ih koristim za nail art i pečatiranje. Ostalo mi je još nekoliko neisprobanih Colour & go lakova, a Essence od proleća povlači ovu liniju i zamenjuje je The Gel Nail Polish linijom. Uskoro će početi i redovna rasprodaja zbog smene proizvoda te će se svi Colour & go lakovi moći kupiti za 119 umesto za 199 dinara.

I am under the impression that considering how many Essence polishes I have I rarely write about them. That is mostly because I seldom wear them as full mani, but use them in nail art and stamping. I still have several untried Colour & go polishes and this line is being discontinued and replaced with The Gel Nail Polish line. Colour & go already are or soon should be on sale.

Matching Manicures - pahulje

U iščekivanju snega smo se dogovorile da nokte ukrasimo pahuljama. Moje su sa MoYou Nails pločice 127. Baza mi je Dance Legend Solar Eclipse, jer deluje prilično praznično, a za pečatiranje sam koristila Manhattan Liquid Metals 101z.

While we are expecting snow we have decided to decorate our nails with snowflakes. Mine are from MoYou Nails 127 stamping plate. Base colour is festive-looking Dance Legend Solar Eclipse, and I have used Manhattan Liquid Metals 101z to stamp.

OPI Green On The Runway

Pošto sam još uvek udobno u sred zelene faze, nisam mogla da propustim da uzmem OPI Green On The Runway. Ovo je lak inspirisan Sprajtom i deo je kolekcije napravljene povodom 125. godišnjice Koka Kole. Preporučujem da ga uzmete ukoliko volite zelene lakove i/ili duohrome jer je jedinstven na našem tržištu, a možda i u svetu.

Since I'm still very much in the middle of my green phase so naturally I had to get OPI Green On The Runway. This polish was part of the Coca Cola collection, made to celebrate company's 125th anniversary and this particular shade is inspired by Sprite. If you like green shades or duochrome polishes I'd definitely recommend this one.

Qgirl 010

Dok iščekujem da mi stignu dva paketića sa novim Born Pretty pločicama za pečatiranje isprobala sam jednu od drugih pločica koje BPS nudi na sajtu. U pitanju je Qgirl pločica 010.

https://www.bornprettystore.com/nail-stamp-image-plate-diamond-wave-rhombus-pattern-qgirl-p-16459.html

While waiting for two orders of Born Pretty stamping plates to arrive I gave another image plate BPS offers a go. This is Qgirl stamping plate 010.

Dance Legend New Promise

Poslednji dan jula mi je ulepšala vest da sam jedan od dobitnika Hypnotic Polish nagradne igre. Nagrada su tri Dance Legend Holodays laka po izboru dobitnika i verujte mi da nisam bila mirna dok moji odabrani lakovi nisu stigli. Morala sam da čekam sunce da mogu da počnem da ih pokazujem u svoj njihovoj lepoti, a prvi koji sam odabrala da nosim je New Promise.

On the last day of July I was thrilled to learn I was one of two winners of Hypnotic Polish giveaway. The prize was three Dance Legend Holodays polishes of the winner's choice and trust me, I've been on pins and needles until my chosen three have arrived. I had to wait for sunshine to see them in all their glory and the first one I chose to wear is New Promise.

piCture pOlish Mallard

Za australijski boutique brend piCture pOlish znam otkad sam počela da pratim lakoholičarske blogove, ali Mallard je prvi njihov lak koji sam morala da imam (i uspela da ga nabavim zahvaljuući ShineEye). PiCture pOlish je proizvođač koji s vremena na vreme u saradnji sa poznatim/popularnim/kvalitetnim noktoblogerkama pravi posebne nijanse lakova, a Mallard su napravili u saradnji sa Džen - The PolishAholic. Svi piCture pOlish lakovi su u bočicama od 11 ml i imaju odličnu uzanu pljosnatu četkicu. Možete ih naručiti sa nekog od mnogobrojnih sajtova koji prodaju indie i boutique lakove.

I'd learned about Australian boutique brand piCture pOlish when I first started to read nail polish blogs, but Mallard was the first of their polishes that I simply had to have (and managed to get it thanks to ShineEye). PiCture pOlish is a brand that makes collaboration shades with well known/successful/high quality bloggers from time to time and Mallard is product of such collaboration with Jen - The PolishAholic. All piCture pOlish polishes come in 11 ml bottles and have great thin flat brush. You can order these polishes from many e-tailers that carry indie and boutique nail polish brands.
