OPI DS Original

Pre par godina me je za rođendan Jeca iznenadila lakom koji nikada nisam očekivala da ću posedovati - OPI DS Original iz 2008. godine. Mada su u međuvremenu izašli mnogo kvalitetniji holo lakovi, ovaj vredi spomenuti jer bih rekla da je bio ispred svog vremena. I ispred onoga što OPI danas radi.

A couple of years ago, Jeca surprised me with a polish I never expected to own - OPI DS Original, from 2008. While much better holo polishes have been made since, this one deserves a mention because it was ahead of its time. And ahead of what OPI is doing today.

Masura Sapphire of Heaven

Magnetni lakovi su lakovi na koje sam se primila čim su se pojavili i kupovala sam ih kad god sam mogla da ih nađem na našem tržištu. Ovaj efekat je zamro kod mejnstrim proizvođača, ali indie i boutique brendovi ih i dalje prave, a verovatno najveći doprinos je dao ruski brend Masura.

Magnetic polishes are the one bandwagon I jumped on as soon as it showed up and I used to buy them whenever I could get them on Serbian market. While mainstream manufacturers have soon abandoned this trend, indie and boutique brands still keep it alive. Russian brand Masura is probably one of the most important contributors.

ILNP Eclipse (H)

Pošto sam bila toliko impresionirana crno-crvenim multihrom lakovima, odmah sam uzela dva takva ILNP laka - običan Eclipse i Eclipse (H). Ne mogu garantovati da neću uzeti još koji na ovaj fazon. ILNP shop dostavlja za Srbiju, ali poštarina je visoka (meni je za 4 laka ispala skoro $30). Za slučaj da vas zanima, paket sa 4 laka je mali i prošao je bez otvaranja i dodatnih troškova. Lakovi imaju 12 ml.

Since I was so impressed with black to red multichrome polishes, I had to get two such ILNP polishes - a regular Eclipse and Eclipse (H). I can't promise I won't get several more. I ordered from ILNP web shop. They do ship to Serbia, but shipping is rather high (it was almonst $30 for 4 polishes). Polishes come in 12 ml bottles.

Dance Legend Top Prismatic

Pre nekoliko godina, kada je Dance Legend ponudio nadlak koji od bilo kog laka može napraviti holo lak, silno sam čeznula za njim. Potom kada sam napokon uspela da ga nabavim, nisam ga koristila. Donekle zato što sam u međuvremenu nabavila dovoljno holo lakova (da li to postoji?), donekle zato što sam bila malo razočarana efektom ovog nadlaka.

Several years ago, when Dance Legend made a top coat that would turn any nail polish into a holo, I wanted to have it really bad. Then, after I finally got my hands on one, I didn't use it. In part because I acquired enough holo polishes (is there such a thing?), and in part because I was somewhat disappointed with the effect of this topper.

CND Vinylux Mint Convertible

Koliko god da ne delim boje na letnje i zimske (završnice su već druga priča), lepo vreme nekako mami da nosim mintaće. U ovom slučaju, Vinylux Mint Convertible. Vinylux su hibridni lakovi firme CND i kod nas se mogu nabaviti u Unitechu. Cena je 1117 dinara za bočicu od 15 ml, ali veoma često budu na sniženju.

While I don't separate nail polish colours by season (finishes are a different story), nice weather tempts me to wear mint polishes. In this case, Vinylux Mint Convertible. Vinylux are hybrid polishes by CND and come in 15 ml bottles.
