Mancina asked me to make a comparison between Essence Zulu and China Glaze Channelesque so I made it. I also added Essence Desert Fox and Catrice from Dusk to Dawn for compare.

I can say for sure that none of them are dupes. Zulu is the lightest and in comparisson to the others looks the grayest. Channelesque is the one with the strongest purple undertone. Desert Fox and FDTD have brown base, but Desert Fox is more grayish.

 

I hope you find this comparison useful.

Hi!!

Yaaaay!! I have a new Essence Trend Edition collection. It’s called Into The Wild. You can find polishes, lip-glosses, eye-shadows, bronzing powder and jumbo eye-pencils in it. Look at all this stuff:

*****

POLISHES: in collection are four polishes.

Desert Fox is warm brown shade with gray undertone. The application was OK, and I applied two coats. If I was more careful, one would be enough.

 

Zulu is my favorite. It’s gray color with a hint of lavender. This one should be matte, but the matte effect is not so strong. It’s more plastic like looking. Anyway I like glossy look more than matte so it doesn’t bother me. I applied two coats.

 

Heart Chakra is my second favorite. It is nice mixture between coral and rose shade, so under some lights is more rosy and on the other is more coral looking. It needs two coats for full coverage.

 

Bongo Drums is neutral milky shade. This one is not well pigmented. After the first layer it looks like it’s almost clear. On the pictures are three layers, but the white tips are still visible. It’s also quite streaky.

*****

LIP-GLOSSES: the collection has three different shades of lip-glosses. Essence usually disappoints me with their glosses, because they are not well pigmented, but this time I was pleasantly surprised. They are good pigmented and the colors are also nice. One is jelly looking and the other two have shimmer in them.
Here I made swatches on my arm:

 

Heart Chakra is nice jelly rose shade, with coral undertones. This is my favorite.

 

Beat the Heat is shimmering golden color. Nice, but it doesn’t suit me at all.

 

40 Degree is golden brown shade with silver and red shimmer mixed in it.

 

How do you like this collection?

Have a nice day! :) -Lyra

Hello!

Today I will show you two Catrice polishes. Yes, you read right, two! :)

The first one is named Clay-Ton My Hero. Funny name, but very special polish. It is a brownish gray color with a golden shimmer. It’s pretty unique. I don’t have any similar shade in my collection. It needs two coats for full coverage.

 

 

 *****

My Bests Friends Tiara is also beauty in the bottle. It is white color with a silver shimmer, and it also has a hint of gray in it. It looks so luxury. The finish is frosty and it’s opaque in two coats.

 

 

 I put some Konad on this one. I used Essence Bonnie for stamping and pattern from m64. I love how it comes out.

 

 

See you soon!

Nubar: Jewel

posted by lyra

Hy everyone!!

How are you?

Today I will show you an awsome polish by Nubar.
It’s called Jewel. I got it from my dear friend Gani :)

Jewel is a dark taupe base with a lot of holo glitter mixed in.
Depending on the light it sometimes looks more cool brown, while other times it is more golden brown.
It’s not like the usaul holos, it is pretty unique. It has big and chunky particles,
but the holo effect is still insane!
I think I found a new favourite holo polish ;)

Aplication is flaweles and it’s opaque in two coats.

Danes se ne počutim najbolj kreativno, zato ne bom menjala manikure.

Pokazala vam bom eno starejšo, ki je nisem utegnila predstavit ;)

Essence-Chocolate Shake je lak, ki spada v omejeno kolekcijo Creamylicious.
Je sivkasto rjav oddtenek z bronasto-zlatom shimmrom.

Essence-Chocolate Shake:

 

Dodala sem mu vzorček iz Konad plate m69 z China Glaze-2030.

Se spomnite tega lepotca? CLICK!
Gani mi je poslala še enega njenega zmešančka in tale je prav tako
dih jemajoč lepotec <3

Sestavine so seveda skrivnost, razen če se Gani odloči da jih bo delila
z nami ;)

Ker ima Gani danes rojstni dan za njo nosim njen lakec :D
Vse najboljše bejba! :D
Tukaj pa ena torta zate ;)

 

Zmešanček je rdečkasto-rjave barve, včasih vidim v njem celo malo vijolične. Vsebuje zlato-srebrn finish, mislim da se v njem skriva tudi nekaj holografskih bleščic, prav tako pa so v njem rdeče bleščice.

 

Dodala sem še zvezdice iz Konad plate m42, zlat lak pa je China Glaze-2030.

Sicer nisem največja navdušenka nad OPI laki, ampak morala sem probat
tega iz Suede kolekcije.
Gre z lak, ki vsebuje veliko shimmra z mat finishem. Končni izdelek izgleda
kot semiš :D

You Don’t Konw Jacques! ima v sebi pretežno toplo rjavo barvo, venar v njem
vidim tudi nekaj sive.

Nanos ni problematičen, vendar je treba bit dokaj hiter, saj se extremno hitro
suši. Prekrivnost je dosežena že z prvim slojem! :D

OPI-You Don’t Konw Jacques! SUEDE:

 

Po enem dnevu sem dodala še nadlak Essie-Good to Go! in postal je še lepši!
Shimmer z nadlakom pride še bolj do izraza. Res je nekaj posebnega =)

OPI-You Don’t Konw Jacques! SUEDE + Essie-G2G:

7Feb

Ta lak imam v mini izvedbi, in res je zelo mini =)
Bil je v kompletu Mini Merries z All A-Bordeaux The Sled, Comet Loves Cupid
in Shim-Merry Chic.

Holiday Glow je zelo unikaten lak in v svoji zbirki nimam nič podobnega.
Gre za bogato temno rjavo barvo, v kateri se najde večji rdeč in zlat shimmer.
Preprosto čudovit!

Nanos ni težaven, prekrivnost je dosežena v dveh slojih.

OPI-Holiday Glow:

 

Na tej sliki lahko vidite primerjavo mini OPI-ja z velikim:

Essie-Fall 2009

posted by lyra

To je sicer jesenska kolekcija iz prejšnjega leta, ampak še vedno nisem vseh
probala, zato sem se odločila da jih vseeno poslikam ;)

V celi kolekciji je 6 lakov, ampak jaz imam 4.

Od leve proti desni: Pink parka, Angora cardi, Mink muffs in Midnight cami

 

Essie-Pink parka svetlo roza neon barve in ima matte finish:

 

Essie-Angora cardi je topla vijolična barva:



Essie-Mink muffs je topla rjava z sivim pridihom:

 

Essie-Midnight cami je zelo temno mornarsko modra, že skoraj črna barva. Vsebuje tudi
droben shimmer ki je opazen pri močni svetlobi:

 

Vsi laki iz te kolekcije so mi všeč, le nad Pink parka nisem najbolj navdušena … mogoče
če bi šla na kakšen rave party ;)
Vsi lakci se lepo nanašajo, in za prekrivnost potrebujejo 2 sloja.

Danes sem dobila paketek od soforumašice Gani.
Poslala mi je kar nekaj lakcev in mineralnih senčk.

Med njimi je bil tudi njen zmešanček, ki nima imena ( zaenkrat ;) ),
sestavine pa so tudi skrivnost :D Tako da lahko samo ugibate ;)

Lakec vsekakor spada med moje najlepše lakce! Prelep je! prekrasen!
prečudovit! Najlepši! vse naj naj!

Gani hvala ti za tega zmešančka! <3

Nanaša se popolno, prekrivnost je odlična. Za opisovanje barve ne bom
zgubljala besed, naj ga opišejo slike ;) Vsekakor pa gre za holo :)

A ni krasen? Hvala Gani!  =)))*
