ILNP Eclipse

Dugo se nije desilo da mi se neki lak toliko dopao da sam morala da ga kupim, a potom kada sam ga probala da me je dodatno oduševio. Nije nikakva novina da mi se ILNP lakovi sviđaju, ali nisam bila u prilici da ih kupujem jer online prodavnica iz kojih sam naručivala ili više ne dostavljaju za Srbiju ili nemaju u ponudi one lakove koje sam želela da uzmem. Onda sam poručila direktno od njih. ILNP shop dostavlja za Srbiju, ali poštarina je visoka (meni je za 4 laka ispala skoro $30). Ipak, meni je vredelo jer sam silno želela da uzme Eclipse. I Eclipse (H). Za slučaj da vas zanima, paket sa 4 laka je mali i prošao je bez otvaranja i dodatnih troškova.

It has been quite some time that I liked a polish enough that I had to buy it, and then to delight me even more in person. It is no news that I like ILNP polishes, but I had no opportunity to buy new ones because etailers I used to order from either no longer ship to Serbia or don't have the colours I wanted in stock. So I gave their offical web shop a go. They do ship to Serbia, but shipping is rather high (it was almonst $30 for 4 polishes). Despite that, It was worth it to me because I really wanted to get my hands on Eclipse. And Eclipse (H).

Eclipse je opisan kao ponoćno crn lak koji se preliva na crveno, ali to je suviše jednostavan opis. Opisala bih ga kao gunmetal sivi lak koji se preliva preko ljubičaste na crveno, ali ne staje tu već nastavlja preko narandžaste do žute. Na zvaničnom sajtu kažu da se može videti rezeda, ali to još nisam ugledala. Da li je to problem? Ni najmanje. Već žuta je prijatno iznenađenje jer više nikada neću morati da pravim sumračni ombre. Samo namažem Eclipse i spremna sam.

Eclipse is described as midnight black that shifts to red, but that is an oversimplified description. I would describe it as gunmetal grey polish that shifts to purple and red, but it doesn't stop there and shifts to orange and yellow. The official website says that you may even see some teal in there, but I haven't noticed it yet. Is that a problem? Not at all. The yellow is a pleasant surprise because I will not have to make a sunset ombre ever again. I'll just apply Eclipse and I I'll be ready to go.

Što se konzistencije laka tiče, prvi sloj je bio prilično neravnomeran, ali drugi sloj mi je dao i punu boju i potpuno pokrivanje. Suši se prilično brzo. Na slikama možete videti tragove mazanja u šimeru, ali oni uživo nisu vidljivi. Što se sjaja tiče, on nije visok (tipično za ovakve lakove) i savetujem da nosite i sloj nadlaka. Slike su snimljene na indirektnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i sloj nadlaka.

In terms of formula, this polish is very patchy on the first coat, but the second layer gave me full colour and coverage. It dries quite fast. You may see some brush strokes in these photos, but they are not visible in person. This polish is not very glossy (as is typical for this kind of polish), and I advise you to add a top coat. Photos were taken in indirect natural light. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.
