Essie The Perfect Cover Up


Kako nam Essie kolekcije stižu samo delimično, a i ono što nam stigne uglavnom nije po mom ukusu, okrećem se kolekciji koja jeste bila po mom ukusu. (Ne znam ko odlučuje koje će se boje uvesti, ali mi je još nejasnije otkud samom proizvođaču i "kreativnom" timu inspiracija za još jedan ne-sasvim-beli i trunku-drugačiji-od-klasičnog-crvenog laka.) Ovaj je iz Dress to Kilt kolekcije za jesen 2014. godine, čiji se ostaci još uvek mogu naći u DMovima i to po ceni od tristotinak do oko sedamsto dinara.


Since we've been getting only partial Essie collections, and not to my taste, I am turning to a collection that was to my liking. (I have no idea who gets to choose what will be imported and the bigger unknown is where do the manufacturer and the "creative" team get ideas for another not-quite-white or just-a-tad-different-from-classic-red polish.) This polish is from Dress to Kilt collection from autumn 2014.


The Perfect Cover Up je taman, prašnjav, zasivljeni plavi lak petrolej tona. Imam nekoliko sličnih lakova, ali svi više naginju zelenoj boji, dok je ovaj više plav. Formula mu je savršena, kremasta, a pigmentacija odlična. Realno, lak bi mogao da prođe kao jednoslojac, ali ja sam zbog postojanosti i dubine boje nanela dva. Suši se brzo, a i postojanost mu je dobra. Bez nadlaka mi je trajao četiri dana. Zbog sjaja mu ipak treba dodati nadlak. Slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.


The Perfect Cover Up is a dark, dusty, greyed-out blue polish with a teal undertone. I do have several similar polishes, but they are all leaning towards green, while this one is more blue. It has perfect, creamy formula and great pigmentation. It could be a one-coater, but I applied two coats for depth and durability. It dries fast and has good staying power. It lasted four days on me without top coat. However, it could do with top coat to give it some gloss. Photos were taken in natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.

  2. Predivno! Ja samo gledam ovu kolekciju po korpicam na snizenju, udahnem duboko i kazem ne treba mi. Mozda ipak pokleknem dok gledam ove slike. Dress to Kilt je stvarno sjajna kolekcija.

  4. Ja sam im na instagramu prokomentarisala da bih odabrala Haute tub iz zimske kolekcije kada su pitali koji bi lak kupili. :D
    The Perfect Cover Up mi je lep ali za mene previse taman.

    1. Ne pratim ih na IG, a ne verujem da bi iko primio na znanje to šta mi zaista želimo da vidimo od kolekcija kada već ne uvoze sve.

  5. Na noktima mi izgleda tamnije nego u bocici, ali sve u svemu mi deluje savrseno! :) <3

    1. Jeste malo tamniji nego u bočici, ali je takđe i življi nego u bočici. :D

  6. I like how it's black - but then again not, it's soft even if it is this dark!

  7. Imam ga sada na noktima, divan je. Na popodnevnom suncu je bio prasnjavo maslinast.

    1. I pod neonkama danas je delovao upravo tako - prašnjavo maslinast.

  8. I love this kind of colours! And I had a big laugh thinking of how many reds are released for winter collections!

    1. Oh, don't get me started on holiday reds. Just think about that Gwen Stefani OPI collection.
