Red all the way

Most of the girls reach out for red nail polish for Christmas. I do too and if I have a nail art in mind, I would choose a combination that includes red. What can I say - red totally screams 'Christmas'! So today I have 3 nail polishes to show you. Not all 3 of them are necessarily exactly red, but they fit perfectly for this Christmas time.

Većina cura poseže za crvenim lakićima za Božić. I ja isto, a ako imam na umu neki nail art, izabrala bih kombinaciju koja uključuje crvenu. A što da vam kažem - crveno totalno vrišti 'Božić'! I tako vam danas imam za pokazati 3 lakića. Nisu sva tri nužno točno crvena, ali savršeno pašu uz ovo božićno vrijeme. 

Farmasi 41 is a nail polish with a little bit of pink and a lot of red. While I was buying it, I was assured that it's a pink polish - cyclamen pink. How I was wrong... :D I was shocked when I applied it for the first time and positively. The polish contains a lot of bluish-cold pink shimmer which is really subtle, but you can see it nicely under almost all light conditions. The polish itself has a bluish-cold tone so it matches perfectly the shimmer. The other thing that I liked a lot is that this baby needs only one coat. One coat is enough to completely cover the whole nail surface. The brush is regular, nothing special that it should be mentioned, but it does it's work awesome. The cuticle don't end up flooded and there's no big mess after varnishing. On the picture are BC, one coat of nail polish and a TC.

Farmasi 41 je lakić s malo pink i mnogo crvene. Dok sam ga kupovala, bila sam uvjerena da je to pinkač - ciklama pink. Baš sam se zeznila... :D Bila sam šokirana kada sam ga nalakirala po prvi put i to pozitivno. Lakić sadrži mnogo hladnog pink shimmera koji je fino suptilan, ali se može lijepo vidjeti pod gotovo svakim osvjetljenjem. I sam lakić jer hladnog tona i savršeno paše uz shimmer. Druga stvar koja mi se jako sviđa je ta da ovaj ljepotan treba samo jedan sloj. Jedan sloj je dovoljan da se potpuno prekrije površina nokta. Četkica je standardna, ne treba se ništa posebno naglašavati, ali odrađuje svoj posao izvrsno. Kožica ne završi poplavljena i nema nekog većeg nereda nakon lakiranja. Na slici je baza, jedan sloj laka i TC.

Golden rose Holiday 57 is a sand textured nail polish. All nail polishes from Holiday collection are sands. I was literally overwhelmed when I finally got it. After all the google swatches I saw and reviews I red, finally mine. It's one of the most beautiful nail polishes in my stash. The color is something between pink and purple and it contains a lot of silver, blue, pink and purple shimmer. The brush is classic, not wide, not flat. Just as it should be to do it's work perfectly. This nail polish is really easy to apply and you'll need 2 coats. It dries fast which is also a big plus consider that you don't need TC. The only thing that can cause trouble is removing. You can do it with aluminum foil technique or on the regular way. It's not that big of a deal like some other glitter polishes. On the picture are BC and 2 coats of nail polish.

Golden rose Holiday 57 je lakić pjeskić. Svi lakići iz Holiday kolekcije su sandići. Doslovno sam bila ozarena kada sam ga napokon dobila. Nakon svih pregledanih swatcheva na googlu i svih recenzija koje sam pročitala, napokon moj. Jedan je od najljepših lakića u mojoj zalihi. Boja je nešto između roze i ljubičaste i sadrži brdo srebrnog, plavog, rozog i ljubičastog shimmera. Četkica je klasična, ne široka, ne plosnata. Upravo onakva kakva bi trebala biti da odradi svoj posao savršeno. Ovaj lakić je stvarno jednostavan za nanošenje i trebat će vam 2 sloja. Brzo se suši što je isto veliki plus obzirom da vam ne treba TC. Jedina stvar koja bi vam mogla stvarati nevolje je odstranjivanje. Možete to obaviti tehnikom s aluminijskom folijom ili na regularan način. Nije neka velika frka kao neki drugi lakići s glitterom. Na slici su baza i 2 sloja lakića.

Essence 156 Me & my lover is the nail polish that surprised me the most. You know that feeling when you don't expect anything and you end up completely mad about. This is how I feel about this nail polish. Essence polishes have a reputation - they are one of the cheapest drugstore polishes in our country, their price is less than 2 Euro and according to that, opinions are divided. Some girls are completely disappointed by them and some are pretty satisfied with price-quality ratio. I have to say that I'm in this second group. Not only that I have nothing bad to say about Essence, I love it. I tried several times to find something that won't work for me with their nail polishes, but nothing. Some girls say they chip really fast, but I have to say that they last on my nails for days. As a matter of fact I have particularly this polish right now on my nails. I applied it 5 days ago and it's still as I applied it today.

Essence 156 Me & my lover  je lakić koji me najviše iznenadio. Znate onaj osjećaj kada ništa ne očekujete, a završite totalno zaluđene. Tako je meni s ovim lakićem. Essence lakići su na glasu kao jedni od najjeftinijih drogerijskih lakova u našoj zemlji, cijena ima je manja od 2 eura (13,90 kn) te su prema tome mišljenja podijeljena. Neke cure su totalno razočarane Essence lakićima za nokte, dok su neke prilično zadovoljne omjerom cijene i kvalitete. Moram reći da sam ja u ovoj drugoj grupi. Ne samo da nemam ništa loše za reći o Essenceu, nego ga baš volim. Pokušala sam par puta tražiti nešto što mi kod njihovih lakova neće pasati, ali ništa. Neke cure kažu da se prebrzo chipaju, ali moram reći da na mojim noktima traju danima. Zapravo upravo sada imam ovaj lak na noktima. Nalakirala sam ga prije 5 dana i još uvijek izgleda kao da je nalakiran danas. 

Me & my lover is one of 3 Essence sparkle sand effect nail polish shades. Consider the price, I really haven't expected something stunning. I saw some online swatches that weren't that persuasive but the price is really ridiculous so I had to try. Those are the best spent 2 euros! This nail polish is so gorgeous that I can't stop staring at my nails. It contains a lot of orange and red shimmer that's very visible but also very subtle. The brush is a bit wider and flat what can make already easy application even easier. 2 coats are enough for complete coverage and the polish dries really fast. On the picture are BC and 2 coats of nail polish.

Me & my lover je jedna od 3 nijanse Essence sparkle sand effect lakova za nokte. Uzmemo li cijenu u obzir, stvarno nisam očekivala ništa zadivljujuće. Vidjela sam neke swatcheve online koji i nisu bili nešto uvjerljivi, ali cijena je smiješna pa sam morala probati. To su najbolje potrošena 2 eura (13,90 kn). Ovaj lakić je toliko divan da ne mogu prestati piljiti u svoje nokte. Sadrži mnogo narančastog i crvenog shimmera koji je jako vidljiv, ali i vrlo suptilan. Četkica je nešto šira i plosnata što može ionako jednostavno nanošenje učiniti i jednostavnijim. 2 sloja su dovoljna za potpuno prekrivanje te se lakić suši vrlo brzo. Na slici su baza i dva sloja lakića. 

So which one of these do you like the most? Do you prefer red for Christmas holidays or some other color?

Koji od ovih lakića se vama najviše sviđa? Preferirate li crveno za božićne blagdane ili neku drugu boju?

:* till next time!

:* do sljedećeg puta!
