China Glaze Some like it haute

Nakon glittera... još jedan glitter :D. Nevjerojatno je kako mi nisu dosadili ali mislim da ovaj niti neće. Moram reći da mi je ovo, uz Nubar Violet sparkle, najkul glitter koji sam vidjela :x  - sitni crni i srebrni glitter (ako me oči dobro služe) i veliki holografski glitter u prozirnoj bazi. Kao da ste u bočicu China Glaze Nove ulili Milani Silver dazzle... Fenomenalno! Jedina zamjerka je što je "pocicao" dva sloja nadlaka pa sam morala dodati i treći, na dva sloja laka. Some like it haute (divno mu je i ime :) ) dio je zimske Eye candy 3D kolekcije glittera iz 2011. (iz koje mjerkam još i Lorelei's Tiaru...).

After some glitters... more glitter :D. It's amazing that I'm not fed up with them yet. And I'm not sure I could be fed up with Some like it haute... ever. This is one of the coolest glitter polishes I have ever seen :x (along with Nubar Violet sparkle) - it's black and silver microglitter with some large round holographic glitter in clear base. It's like you poured Milani Silver dazzle into China Glaze Nova ... Awesome! The only flaw I can find is that it sucked two layers of top coat so I had to use three. There are two layers of polish underneath. Some like it haute (love the name too :) ) was released in 2011. Winter Eye candy 3D glitter collection (from which I'm also lemming Lorelei's Tiara... ).

Isprobavala sam neke nove "poze", više ili manje uspješno. Neke su dosta smiješne :D...
I've been trying some new swatching "poses", with limited success. Some are quite ridiculous :D...

Ova mi je osobni favorit, zovem je "Napad mutantske šljokičave kandže" :D
This is my personal favorite, I call it "The attack of the mutant glitter claw" :D

Layering: Sinful Colors Daddy's girl + China Glaze Nova

Ovome obično pribjegnem kad trebam malo blinga ali želim izbjeći hrapavost glittera i stavljanje x slojeva nadlaka - jelly sandwich :D. Na fotkama je sloj Sinful Colors Daddy's girl, sloj China Glaze Nove pa opet 2x Daddy's girl i sloj brzosušećeg nadlaka. Da, to je opet 5 slojeva ali ova manikura je bila gotova za 20-tak minuta bez puno čekanja između slojeva. Novu sam već prije fotkala preko srebrnog CND Silver chromea ali daleko mi je zanimljivija u ovoj varijanti. Nekako mi ova manikura ima puno više "dubine" od običnog layeringa. Daddy's girl je dosta rijedak jelly ali baš zato odlično ide uz Novu i ne zagušuje njezin holo čak ni s dva sloja. Novin hex glitter se i ispod svjetluca kao lud. :x Definitivno trebam još jelly lakova - dosta!
I usually do this type of mani when I need some bling but want to avoid the chunkiness of glitter and using half a bottle of top coat - jelly sandwich :D. This is: one coat of Sinful Colors Daddy's girl, one layer of China Glaze Nova +  two more layers of Daddy's girl and one of tc. True, it's still 5 layers of polish but this mani was done in 20 minutes without much waiting in between layers. I swatched Nova once before, over CND Silver Chrome but I find it much more interesting in this combo. Somehow, there's much more depth in this than in a regular layering. Daddy's girl is a pretty thin jelly but that makes it work great because it doesn't smother the holo in Nova, even after two layers. The hex holo glitter in Nova sparkles like crazy even under those two layers :x. I'll definitely be needing more jelly polishes...

Guppy Sanding Fruit Extract 13

Guppy Sanding Fruit Extract 13 ili, kako ga na Ebayu zovu - CUDDV Sanding Fruit Extract 13 :D, je predivan, brzosušeći ali nevjerojatno smrdljivi modri mat glitter. Što me zbunjuje i više od čudnog imena (sanding? - kao šmirgl papir?! OK, malo je hrapav ali ništa prejako), listing za ovaj lak je u opisu imao tekst "fruit scented", no možda se seller samo zbunio natpisom Fruit na bočici pa je pomislio da miriši. U svakom slučaju, Guppy SFE13, bar meni - izgleda fenomenalno. Na fotki su 3 tanka sloja, bez nadlaka naravno. Idući dan sam dodala sloj nadlaka da vidim kako izgleda u sjajnoj verziji i nije loš, ali neusporediv je s mat originalom. Četkica također zaslužuje pohvalu a sviđa mi se i brušeno staklo bočice. Ono što daje lagani dojam jeftinjaka (uz miris) je čep. Da zaključim - za cijenu od 3.55$ s besplatnom poštarinom i nakon što ishlape pare, meni nije loše ;).

Guppy Sanding Fruit Extract 13, also known as CUDDV Sanding Fruit Extract 13 on Ebay :D is a gorgeous fast-drying but unbelievably stinky blue matte glitter. What's more confusing than the weird name (sanding? - like sandpaper?! OK, it's a bit gritty but nothing like sandpaper) is the fact that this listing had "fruit scented" in the description. Maybe the seller got confused by the "fruit" part and thought it smelled nice. In any case, I think Guppy SFE13 looks fabulous. There are 3 thin coats in the pictures, without tc off course. I added a layer of tc the next day and it looked fine but nothing compared to the original matte version. The brush is pretty good too and I love the matte glass of the bottle. The cheap looking thing, aside from the smell, is the cap. To sum it up - for the price of around 3.55$ (free shipping) and after the horrible fumes evaporate, I can't complain ;).

Giveaway reminder and Orly On the list

Samo da vas na brzinu podsjetim da se još danas možete prijaviti na moj piCture pOlish giveaway! I da ubacim jedan brzinski swatch. Ne znam u kojoj je kolekciji izašao Orly on the list, mislim da nije božićni, a i zašto postoji samo u mini verziji. On the list je bordo-ciklamasti jelly pun rozih šljokica, kao tamnija i crvenija verzija Zoye Roxy. Ne sjećam se kako se nanosi ali mislim da bi ga zapamtila da je iskustvo nanošenja bilo prestrašno, tako da pretpostavljam da je vjerojatno OK :D. Uživo je naravno puno ljepši (moj fotić (kao i ja) baš ne voli umjetno svjetlo). Za točniji swatch, bacite oko na ovaj post na nailjuice.blogspot.com.

Just a quick reminder - you have until midnight to enter my piCture pOlish giveaway! And to throw in a quick swatch. I don't know if Orly On the list was part of any collection or why there's only a mini version. On the list is a dark red to dark magenta jelly full of pink glitter, like a darker and more red version of Zoya Roxy. I don't really remember what the application is like but I suppose I would remember if it was a nightmare so I suppose it was fine :D. It's much more beautiful in person (my camera is not to fond of artificial light (just like me). If you'd like to see a more accurate swatch, check out the one by nailjuice.

Color Club Sugarplum fairy

OK, ovaj post neću započeti s još jednom isprikom zbog nedostatka postova, nema smisla, a dosađujem i vama i sebi. Jedino mogu obećati da ću pokušati postati kad god stignem. :) S jeseni stižu i swatchevi pod svjetlom lampe, koje nažalost obično oduzme puno od boje laka ali ovom glitteru to kao da nekako ne smeta. Fotke su malo spržene ali ipak dosta dobro dočaravaju svjetlucavost ovog lakića. Sugarplum fairy je lila holografski glitter u prozirnoj bazi - šljokice "u hladu" izgledaju srebrno-lila a na svjetlu počnu svjetlucati u svim bojama. Podsjeća me na miks Color Club Magic attraction i OPI Mad as a hattera. Tri sloja i jedan sloj nadlaka - ne bi škodio još koji ali trebalo bi ga dosta da bude onako glanc a lijep mi je lak i bez toga. Plus, htjela sam izbjeći mogući "katapult efekt" čest kod puno slojeva glittera i nadlaka - pojavu kad lak jednostavno odleti s nokta u jednom komadu (i obično završi u važnim dokumentima na poslu ili na stolu usred sastanka :"> ). Sugarplum Fairy dio je Color Clubove božićne kolekcije - Beyond the Mistletoe.
I won't start this post with yet another apology for the lack of posts - why bore you with excuses? All I can do is promise I'll try posting as often as I possibly can ;). With another fall, the dreaded artificial light swatches return. They usually take a lot from the real color of a polish or even make it unrecognizable, but this baby doesn't seem to have a problem with it. The swatches are a bit overexposed but the color and the effect is pretty accurate.  Sugarplum fairy is a silvery lilac holographic glitter suspended in a clear base - "in shade" the particles appear silver with a hint of lilac and in the light, the holographic particles come to life. It's somewhere in between Color Club Magic attraction and OPI Mad as a hatter. There are three layers in the pics and a layer of top coat. It would probably take 3 layers of tc to make it really smooth but I like it like this. Plus, I wanted to avoid the possible "catapulting effect" that sometimes occurs with glitter polishes and too many layers of tc (when the polish flies off the nail in one piece, usually ending up in important work documents or the conference table in the middle of a meeting :"> ). Sugarplum fairy was released as part of this year's holiday collection - Beyond the Mistletoe.

Kleancolor haul

Stigli suuuuu! :x  I mene je uhvatila Kleancolor manija pa naručih par komada. I istina, smrde grozno, ali bar su svi u komadu i izgledaju predivno! :D Nokti su mi u komi ali nadam se da ću uspjet pofotkat koji uskoro...

Yay!! :x My Kleancolors have arrived! True, they smell awful, but they're gorgeous to look at! :D My nails are a mess but I hope I'll manage to swatch some of them soon...

Milani Purple gleam

Evo i ljubičastog Milani glittera - šećer na kraju. Purple gleam je miks crnog i magenta glittera. Za razliku od Nubar Violet sparkle koji vuče na indigo ljubičastu (iliti ultraviolet kako je ja volim zvati :), Purple gleam je ljubičasta koja više vuče na crvenu stranu spektra. Zaljubljena sam... :x Jedino što sam zeznula s ovim lakom je što sam ga nanijela predebelo - stavila sam dva sloja iako je i s jednim izgledao čisto OK, na to tri sloja nadlaka i naravno, idući dan je lak počeo otpadat ucijelo. :D Mislim da bi bio postojaniji s manje nadlaka (ali što mogu kad volim da je kao voda) ili sa samo jednim slojem.

And finally, last but not the least - the purple Milani glitter. Purple gleam is a mix of black and dark magenta glitter. Unlike Nubar's Violet sparkle which is more of an indigo purple (I like to call it ultraviolet :) ), Purple gleam is more a red-based purple. I'm in LOVE :x.... I messed up the application because I applied it too thick - I used two coats even though it looked just fine with one. Add 3 coats of top coat on top of that and what you get is polish flying off your nails within a day. :D I think it would last more either in a single coat or with less top coat, but I can't help it - I like my glitters glossy.

Cherryculture haul and nubbins again

Konačno mi je stigao paketić s Cherryculture s dugo priželjkivanim Milani glitterima i isti dan mi pukne nokat na kažiprstu. :( Nadam se da ću ponoviti ove swatcheve s normalnom duljinom, ali evo par ćevapčić-svočeva za prvu ruku. 

The day the package from Cherryculture with my Milani glitters finally arrived, the nail on my index broke. :( Hope I'll redo these when  I reach normal length again. In the mean time, here are some nubbin-swatches.

NYX Lime sparkle, Milani Purple gleam, Photo flash, Silver dazzle i Blue flash.

NYX Lime sparkle, Milani Purple gleam, Photo flash, Silver dazzle and Blue flash.

Milani Blue Flash je prava ljetna plava i stvarno se nanosi skoro u jednom sloju. Ja sam ipak stavila još jedan budući da se na fotkama obično pokažu praznine koje se ne vide uživo. Meni ovaj lakić lijepo izgleda i bez nadlaka ali na dodir je hrapav pa sam ga ipak dodala tri sloja INM Out the door nadlaka. Sechea bi vjerojatno bilo dosta dva sloja jer je gušći.

Milani Blue flash is a summer blue shade that's almost a one-coater. I applied a second coat because pictures usually tend to show gaps that aren't really noticable in real life. I like the look of this polish even without a top coat but I added 3 layers of INM Out the door top coat since it felt a little too scratchy. Guess you could get away with two layers of Seche because it's much thicker.

Milani Silver dazzle je miks crnog i srebrnog glittera koji daje tamnosivu boju i meni najdraži od svih. :x Mrak!

Milani Silver dazzle is a mix of black and silver glitter which gives this gunmetal or charcoal gray color. :x This is my favorite of the bunch. :x Awesome!

Nubar Violet sparkle

Upoznajte jedan od najgenijalnijih glittera na svijetu iz najgenijalnije kolekcije glittera na svijetu - Nubar Violet Sparkle iz Sparkles kolekcije (proljeće 2010.). :x Samo dodajte dosta boje, zamislite da su ove svijetlije čestice više pinky i dodajte masu sjaja i dobit ćete približnu predodžbu ove ljepote. Ovdje su dva sloja preko Nfu Oh Aqua basea i dva sloja INM Out the door nadlaka. Imam ga dva dana i nije se otkrnuo čak ni na desnom kažiprstu (koji mi se izlistao pa s njega inače sve otpada u roku odmah), što je za mene fenomen kad su glitteri u pitanju. No možda je stvar i u tome što sam umjesto Seche Vitea stavila INM.
Meet one of the most fabulous glitters on the planet from the most amazing glitter collection on the planet - Nubar Violet Sparkle from the Sparkles collection (spring 2010.). :x Just add some more color, imagine these lighter particles being more pink, add a lot of glow and you'll be able to picture this beauty. There are two coats here over Nfu Oh Aqua base and two coats of INM Out the door top coat. I've worn it for two days and it hasn't chipped even on my right index (polish usually falls off this nail within a day since it's peeling), which is a phenomenon for me and glitters. On the other hand, it may have something to do with the fact I used INM instead of Seche Vite.

Claire's Chunky purple

Konačno, nakon mjesec dana čekanja, stigao mi je moj dugo željeni Chunky purple. :x  Ne znam baš koliko je purple, više je zagasita ciklama. Baza je ciklamasti jelly, sitne šljokice su roskaste a velike šesterokutne su srebrne što daje zanimljiv efekt - one koje su nanesene u prvom sloju izgledaju ciklamasto a one u zadnjem sloju laka srebrno.  Na fokama su tri sloja (što je više slojeva, to je boja ljepša i tamnija - s jednim je skroz rozi) i sloj INM Out the door brzosušećeg nadlaka. Mislim da mi je ovaj slatkiš postao novi najdraži magenta glitter (prešišavši Zoyu Roxy :D ).

Finally, after a month of waiting, Chunky purple - my long time lemming has arrived. :x I wouldn't really call this purple, it's more of a deep magenta. The base is a magenta jelly, the small glitter is pinkish while the large hexagonal ones are silver. That creates an interesting effect  - the hex glitters in the first coat shine through the base and the ones in the last coat look silver. There are three coats in these pics (the more coats, the richer and darker the color) and a layer of INM Out the door fast-drying top coat. I think this has become my new favorite magenta glitter (before Zoya Roxy :D ).

New Year mani: OPI Mad as a hatter

Evo konačno i mog swatcha Hattera. Ne mogu vjerovat da ga imam skoro godinu dana a da ga tek sad fotkam. Eto, mogu staviti kvačicu kraj bar jedne od novogodišnjih odluka. Da su bar sve tako lake! :D Što reći o Mad as a hatteru... predivna šljokičava bomba koja se lako nanosi (2 sloja su obično dosta), ali nažalost brzo otkrhne i brzo zgusne. Ovo je jedan od onih lakova za koje treba "malo" pretrpiti ali se definitivno isplati. Na fotkama su tri sloja (treći je dodan da malo popravim izlizane vrhove) bez nadlaka. Uočila sam da se Hatter i sa i bez nadlaka otkrhne na par mjesta za dan ali sa Seche Vite zna kompletno otpast s nokta (pogledajte Ivanine fotke sličnog Hatter+Seche incidenta :D). Unatoč Burlesque kolekciji, iako je predivna, Mad as a hatter je ipak moj najdraži višebojni glitter. :x

And finally my Mad as a hatter swatch. I can't believe I had it for almost a year and didn't swatch it. At least I can mark one of my New year resolutions as done, wish they were all this simple. :D What can I say about Mad as a hatter... a gorgeous glitter bomb that applies nicely (2 coats are usually enough), but chips and thickens too fast. It's one of these polishes that requires some extra effort but it is definitely worth it. There are three coats here (I added the third to fix some tipwear) without top coat. I noticed Hatter chips with or without TC, but when I apply Seche vite on top it sometimes completely falls off (check out Ivana's pics of the Hatter+Seche incident :D ). So I usually choose not to apply TC cause I prefer a few small chips than no polish on my nail at all. In spite of the Burlesque collection, as beautiful as it is, Mad as a hatter still remains my favorite multi-colored glitter. :x

Christmas mani: Jolly Holly & Party Hearty

Sretan Božić!
Merry Christmas!

Nadam se da ste imale lijep Božić, fino papale i uživale! Još ako ste imale i snijega... :)

Ah, toliko je lijepih božićnih Blogger predložaka a ja sam (zbog glupog Intense debate sistema za komentare) zaglavila s ovim, očito zauvijek. Jedini način da ovom blogu dam malo božićnog ugođaja je s malo svjetlucavog teksta i swatchevima božićne manikure. Naravno, glavni junak je Party Hearty. :D Nije neko iznenađenje da sam izabrala ovaj lakić ali ako za Božić neću nositi ovu šljokičavu bombu, kad ću? ;)

I hope you all had a wonderful and snowy Christmas! :)

I see so many beautiful Christmas Blogger templates but I'm stuck with this one, probably forever (because I made a mistake of installing the Intense debate commenting system). The only way to add some Christmas atmosphere to my blog is to add some sparkly text and some holiday swatches. Of course, China Glaze Party hearty is the star of the mani. :D It's hardly a surprise I chose this polish - if I won't wear this glitter bomb for Christmas, when will I? ;)

Layering: China Glaze Party hearty, Take I & Giveaway reminder

China Glaze Party hearty... prvi pokušaj. OK, ovo baš nije ispalo kako sam očekivala. Lakić je super ali drugi sloj bio je suvišan i pokvario je stvar, plus - od odsjaja lampe uopće se ne vide detalji - oblici i vrste šljokica. Izgleda da ću ga uskoro morati ponovno isprobati. :D
I podsjećam da se još večeras možete prijaviti za moj mini giveaway (tj. budući da je u Honoluluu 24. 11. još nekih 12 sati, ako ste s Havaja, imate malo više vremena ;) ).

So, this is my first and not so fabulous attempt at swatching China Glaze Party hearty. It didn't turn out like I expected. The polish is great but the second coat totally ruined the manicure and on top of that, the lamp reflection hides the detail - the shapes and colors of the glitter. Guess I'll have to try it again soon. I hope that will result in better swatches. :D
And a quick reminder: my giveaway ends soon, you still have a few hours to enter (or if you're from Honolulu, you still have 12 hours to enter ;) ).

Layering: Claire's No-name blue glitter over Orly Royal navy

U gužvi sam pa slabo stignem slikati ovih dana, plus nokti su mi u komi, ali moram staviti nekakav swatch da proslavim 100 sljedbenika! Wow, sad tek imam feeling da ovo malo mjestašce na webu mogu nazvati pravim blogom! :) Znam da sam velik dio sljedbenika stekla s mini darivanjem, ali stići do 100 dobar je osjećaj, bez obzira. Hvala vam cure što komentirate i pratite moj mali blogić!  >:D<
A sad na swatch... Iako sam rekla da ću se odmoriti od šljokica do Božića, preovisna sam o blingu da bi to uspjela izdržati. Claire's plavi glitter koji sam kupila u Grazu ipak nije bio dovoljno gust da se nanosi sam pa sam se ipak odlučila za layering - dva sloja Orly Royal navy, dva sloja Claire's glittera i dva sloja Sechea. Boje lakova su jako slične. Zanimljivo, da su šljokice četverokutne, vidi se samo skroz izbliza. Obožavam ovu plavu, ne mogu je se zasititi.

I've been too busy lately to take any pics and my nails are a mess but I had to post a swatch to celebrate 100 followers! Wow, now I feel I can call this little place on the web a real blog! :) I realize many followers joined because of the mini giveaway but it still feels nice to reach 100. Thank you all for commenting and following my little blog! >:D<

Now, on to the swatch... Although I said I would take a glitter-break until Christmas, seems I'm too addicted to bling to avoid it for more that three days. Claire's no-name glitter I got in Austria wasn't thick enough to be worn alone so I decided to layer it. These are two coats of Orly Royal navy, two coats of Claire's glitter and two coats of Seche Vite. The two blues are very similar. The glitter is square-shaped, but it's visible only in macro shots. I love this type of blue, can't get enough of it.

Claire's Chunky silver over Essence Rock'n'roll

Još jedan lak iz Magic Maid shopa. :)  Nadala sam se da će i ovaj lak imati fenomenalan efekt poput Chunky purple i Chunky blue koje si želim oduvijek, ali nema. Ipak je lijep srebrni glitter. Budući da se slabo prima za nokat, počela sam sa slojem Essence Rock'n'rolla, srebrnog foil glittera. Zapravo su sitni srebrni glitteri isti i u Chunkyju i u Rock'n'rollu, samo Chunky ima i veliki šestorokutni glitter. Anyway, ovo su 3 sloja preko jednog sloja Essencea, bez nadlaka. I puno je ljepši i blještaviji uživo.
Another polish  I got from Magic Maid's blog shop. :) I hoped this polish would have the same amazing effect as Chunky purple or Chunky blue I've been lemming forever, but it doesn't. It's still a nice silver glitter. Since I had trouble making the glitter stick to the nail instead of hanging on the brush, I started with a layer of Essence Rock'n'roll, a silver foily glitter. The small glitter particles are actually the same in both polishes but Chunky also has this large hexagonal glitter. These are three layers over one layer of Essence, no TC. It looks much better and brighter IRL. ;)

Studio M Slamming red

Jedan od lakova koji je na mojoj wishlisti odavno je Studio M (ex Massini) Slamming red. Ovaj swatch na Scrangienom blogu me totalno očarao i konačno sam ga uspjela ugrabiti na rasprodaji kod Magic Maid. Jeee! :D Otkuda da počnem... Ovo je jedna od najgenijalnijih boja koje sam vidjela - pogledajte samo taj holo glitter u bočici! Naravno, taj efekt se jednostavno nije dao uloviti na noktu ali vjerujte, presijava se ludo. S druge strane, ovo je jedna od najgorih, ako ne i najgora formula laka koju sam imala prilike isprobati - podsjeća me na masu za fugiranje. Lak je gust nenormalno, kad se osuši potpuno je mat i izgleda kao neka čudna grbava tvorevina na noktu. Tu su tri (!) gusta sloja Seche vitea a i dalje izgleda grbavo.Kako je Scrangie uspjela ovako lijepo nanijeti taj lak, nije mi uopće jasno. Idući put definitivno moram dodati thinnera (iako me malo frka da mi ne ubije holo...) i slikati po danu, da ulovim to blještavilo. I usput, iako piše "red" a možda i vuče malo na crveno na mojim fotkama, ovo je predivna ciklama (magenta). :x

A polish that was on my lemming list for ages - Studio M (ex Massini) Slamming red. It was this swatch on Scrangie's blog that got me obsessed and I finally grabbed one at Magic Maid's blog sale! Yaaay! :D Where do I start... This is one of  the most amazing colors I have ever seen - just look at this holo glitter goodness in the bottle. The effect didn't photograph on my nails that well and it's not as strong as in the bottle but still it sparkles like crazy. On the other hand, this may be the worst polish formula ever! It reminds me of tile grout. It's unbelievably thick, it dries to this weird matte lumpy finish. Here are 3 (!) thick layers of Seche Vite and it still isn't smooth. How Scrangie managed to apply it so nice is beyond me. Next time I'll have to add some thinner (but I'm affraid it could ruin the holo...) and take pics in daylight, to catch the sparkle. Although it's called Slamming red, and my pics make it look a bit reddish, it' not red at all - it's a beautiful deep magenta. :x

Update, 11/2011.: dodala sam dosta thinnera u Slamming red - i dalje podsjeća na masu za fugiranje ali se nanosi puno ljepše i u jednom sloju. Evo i novih swatcheva! (grozni stari su na dnu posta :D)

Update, Nov 2011.: I added some thinner to Slamming red - it still has the texture of tile grout but it's much thinner and easier to apply. This is just one coat. And here are the new swatches! (the dreadful thick old ones are at the bottom of the post :D).

China Glaze Emerald sparkle

Iako je do Božića još puno, ovaj hladni zrak mi miriše na snijeg i zimu i ova boja mi jednostavno paše. Smaragdno-zelena uopće nije moja nijansa zelene (moja bi bila bliže Watermelon Rind), ali svejedno si ne mogu prestati gledati nokte. :x Ako vam se ovo čini debelo, to je zato što i je. :D Zapravo sam stavila dva tanka sloja i nadlak ali kako kod mene tipwear (izliznuće vrhova ?) nastupi prije manje od 24 sata, za fotke sam dodala još jedan sloj laka i opet (dosta) nadlaka. Bez njega je zeleniji i šljokičaviji pa ga možda drugi put i neću staviti, ali i ovako mi je lijep. Još nisam izabrala, ali Emerald sparkle definitivno ulazi u moj uži izbor za ovogodišnju božićnu manikuru. Na fotkama mi ruke izgledaju nekako narančasto-crveno ali to nije ništa neobično s mojim fotićem i zelenim lakovima.

Nubar Petunia Sparkle

Konačno je i sunce provirilo pa sam uspjela pofotkat i ovu slatkicu. Ta-da.... :D Nubar Petunia Sparkle iliti najluđi glitter na svijetu. Ovo su tri sloja, s tim da je treći dodan samo da popravim lagani tipwear od drugog dana nošenja. Nisam stavila nadlak ali mislim da bi s njim bio još blještaviji. Površina nokta je mrvicu hrapavija ali meni uopće nije smetalo. Moj fotić uporno je radio čuda s ovom bojom no na kraju sam uspjela dobiti približno realnu boju slikajući na popodnevnom suncu. Ako želite vidjeti što je moj fotić učinio od boje u oblačan dan, pogledajte zadnju fotku. Eeek! :-O

China Glaze Blue Sparrow

Još jedan ljetni lakić kojeg moj fotoaparat ne kuži je China Glaze Blue Sparrow. Tješi me to što nisam uspjela naći nijedan točan swatch ni na netu, što znači da i drugi fotići imaju problema s ovom bojom. :D Lak je iz Ink kolekcije i u principu bi trebao biti neonski ali iako je intenzivne boje (definitivno intenzivnije nego na ovim fotkama) ne vidim po čemu je neon, osim možda po tome što je mat kad se osuši. Malo sam škrtarila sa Secheom pa je površina ostala malo grbava. Inače preporučujem obilno nanošenje nadlaka. Bez obzira na to, predivan je - morsko-plava baza prepuna tirkiznih šljokica. I tako divno stoji na rukama... :x Nosila sam ga na more (8 dana je izdržao na moru bez imalo oštećenja) i događalo mi se da, dok plivam, počnem buljiti u svoje ruke pod vodom. :)) Nanošenje je brzo i bezbolno, sušenje brzo... milina! :)

China Glaze Ruby Pumps

Još jedan blještavi sunčani swatch za još jedan kišni dan... :) Prizivanje sunca nije uspjelo s Nfu Oh 59, no možda uspije s ovim lakićem. China Glaze Ruby Pumps zapravo i nije ljetni lak, nije mi ni božićni baš - presvijetli je. Na Božić me više asocira tamnocrveni glitter. Univerzalan je - mislim da paše u svako godišnje doba. Nadam se da ću, iako mi ga je mama maznula, uspjet jednom napraviti i usporedne swatcheve sa Smitten with mittens. Ruby Pumps je svakako svijetliji i ima baš crveni glitter za razliku od SWM koji ima zlatni glass-fleck glitter (koji u crvenoj jelly bazi izgleda crveno). Sve u svemu - lak je klasik! Nanosi se ko' putar, skoro bi i jedan sloj bio dosta ali ipak stavih dva za fotkanje. Skidanje je malo neuredno ali kad je ovakav ljepotan u pitanju, ako mene pitate - muka se isplati. ;)
