Essence Colour & go 146 That's What I Mint!

Još jedan lak koji sam koristila za pečatiranje kada sam isprobavala MoYou Nails 106 je Essence That's What I Mint. Essence lakovi ne sadrže DBP, toluen, formalinski rezin i kamfor. Imaju 8 ml i koštaju 219 dinara. Mogu se nabaviti u DM i Lilly drogerijama.

Another polish I have used when I did a review of MoYou Nails 106 is Essence That's What I Mint. Essence polishes are big 5-free (don't contain formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde resin and camphor). They come in 8 ml bottles and have wide, flat, rounded brush.

Kada sam prošle godine otkrila mint boju usredsredila sam se na zelenije nijanse jer nisam sigurna da bi mi plavlje stajale dobro. Kako nisam bila spremna da rizikujem i dam mnogo novca na Essie Mint Candy Apple kao predstavnika plavljeg dela mint spektra odlučila sam se za jeftiniju verziju koju nudi Essence. Ne znam koliko su zaista bliski jer ih sama nikada nisam uživo poredila, samo mi se čini da je Essie čista krema dok Essence ima veoma fin šimer. Ovaj šimer nije upadljiv, ali doprinosi tome da lak ne izgleda plastično. Lak je veoma gust i nezgodan za nanošenje uprkos divnoj širokoj četkici. Štrafte od mazanja su se donekle same izravnale tokom sušenja, ali ne u potpunosti. Zbog gustine laka su mi se posle pola sata stvorili mehurići skoro na svim noktima, što je problem skoro sa svim Colour & go lakovima. Sve slike su snimljene na suncu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

Last year when I discovered mint polish I focused on the greener shades because I was unsure if the bluer ones would suit me. As I was reluctant to spend large amount of money on Essie Mint Candy Apple as a representative of the bluer end of mint spectrum I had settled for the cheaper substitute offered by Essence. I don't know how close they really are because I haven't compared them side by side, but it seems to me that Essie is creme while Essence has fine shimmer. This shimmer is barely visible, but makes the polish look less plastic. The polish is rather thick and difficult to apply despite the lovely wide brush. It goes on streaky and is somewhat self-leveling, but it didn't even out entirely. Due to thickness of polish I had severe bubbling on all nails half an hour after application, which seems to be the problem with almost all Colour & go polishes. All photos were taken in sunlight. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
