ILNP Abundance (H)

Letos sam opet uspela da nabavim neke ILNP (i ne samo ILNP) lepote i da ih precrtam sa liste želja. Abundance mi se na toj listi povremeno pojavljivao, pa sam ga sklanjala pa vraćala pa... Smatrala sam da imam dovoljno sličnih lakova i da mi, iako je sasvim po mom ukusu, ne treba još jedan. No čim se ukazala prva prilika da ga uzmem, zgrabila sam je i sada je ova divota moja. Samo moja. Pakovanje je od 12 ml i košta €12,3 i na Hypnotic Polish i na NailLand.

This summer I managed to snag some ILNP (and not just ILNP) beauties and cross them off my wish list. Abundance is a polish that was on and off that list quite a few times because I considered that I already have enough similar polishes and that, even though this one was right up my alley, I don't need another one. However, the first time I had the chance to get my hands on it, I took it and now this gorgeousness is mine. All mine. It comes in 12 ml bottle and retails for €12.3 both on Hypnotic Polish and NailLand.

ILNP Abundance je bio jedan od Ultra Chrome lakova iz kolekcije za jesen 2014. godine. S proleća naredne godine su mu dodali sitne prizmatične čestice i napravili Abundance H (Holographic Ultra Chrome), a najesen i ljuspastu (Ultra Chrome Flakies) verziju pod imenom Glory. Osnovni preliv ovog laka je iz zlatne preko bakarne do purpurne na indirektnom svetlu, a na suncu blješti bakarno sa rasutim odsjajem hologramskih čestica. Te čestice su toliko sitne i diskretne da uopšte ne narušavaju prelive boje i u hladu su zapravo jedva primetne i tek na direktnom svetlu zapravo ožive. Pigmentacija laka je dobra i dva sloja su dovoljna za bunu boju i ravnomerno pokrivanje. Postojanost mu nije najbolja (brzo mi se izlizao sa vrhova) te savetujem da ga zaštitite slojem dugotrajnog nadlaka. Ovaj lak zaslužuje da potraje na noktima.

ILNP Abundance was one of Ultra Chrome polishes from fall 2014. collection. Following spring they added prismatic particles to it and created Abundance H (Holographic Ultra Chrome), and the next fall they created Ultra Chrome Flakies version called Glory. Main shift of colour in this polish is from gold to copper to pinky-purple in indirect light, and in sunshine it glows coppery with scattered holographic effect. These holo particles are so fine and inconspicuous that they don't obstruct colour shift and you can barely notice them in shade, but in sunlight they come alive. This is well pigmented polish. It gives full colour and even coverage in two easy coats. On its own it does not wear very well (I got tipwear very fast) so I suggest you top it off with a layer of long lasting top coat. This polish deserves to be well worn.

ILNP Glory - Dance Legend Mars - ILNP Abundance (H) - Dance Legend New Promise

U uvodu sam spomenula kako sam se oko Abundance nećkala jer imam već dosta sličnih lakova, ali se ispostavilo da ih zapravo i nemam toliko jer je većina tih "sličnih" lakova manje zlatna, a više ružičasta. Čak ni Dance Legend New Promise nije ni blizu po boji, a i holo efekti im se znatno razlikuju jer su čestice u Abundance (H) sitnije, a efekat veoma raštrkan. Najpribližnije što imam je Dance Legend Mars, koji nema holo čestice već ljuspice.

I have mentioned in the intro how I was reluctant to get Abundance because I already have plenty of similar polishes, but it turned out that I don't have any. Most of those polishes I have are less gold and more pink, and not even Dance Legend New Promise comes close in terms of colour, and holo effect is decidedly different because holo particles in Abundance (H) are so fine and scattered. The closest thing I have is Dance Legend Mars, which doesn't have holo glitters, but flakies.

Slike su snimljene na prirodnom svetlu (direktnom i indirektnom). Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

Photos were taken in direct sunlight and indirect natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
