Essie Belugaria

Ahoy

Prije nego krenem tipkati o ovom prelijepom laku, moram spomenuti da imam "mecenu" za lakove, dobro - imam nekoliko mecena, ali Š. je definitivno najveća :D Bila je tako dobra da mi pokloni ovaj lak, koji se njoj nije svidio koliko i meni. Često mi pokloni lakove koji me odmah oduševe - čita mi misli :D Hvala Š!

Before I start typing about this beautiful nail polish, I must mention that I have "patron" for nail polishes, ok - I have several patrons, but Š. is definitely greatest :D She was so nice to give me this nail polish, which she didn't like as much as I did. She often gives me polishes which delight me immediately - she reads my mind :D Thank you Š.

Essie Belugaria je dio Essie Encrusted Treasures Collection. Encrusted kolekcija je izbačena na tržištu u studenom 2013. Na prvi pogled izgleda kao obični crni lak sa zlatnim šljokicama, no tekstura je potpuno drugačija od "obične".

Essie Belugaria is part of Essie Encrusted Treasures Collection. Encrusted collection was launched in November 2013. On first sight it looks like a regular black polish with gold glitter, but the texture is completely different than "regular".

Ne znam ni kako bih točno opisala teksturu, nego kao da je netko smrvio komadiće stakla/školjkica/kamenčića u njega. Inače volim teksturce, no ovaj nije kao ijedan teksturac kojeg sam do sada probala.

I don't know exactly how would I describe the texture, but as someone crushed pieces of glass/shells/pebbles in it. I like textured nail polishes, but this one is not like any other textured nail polish I've tried so far.

Čestice su poprilično velike i lak je poprilično hrapave, grube površine kada se osuši. Aplikacija je bila pomalo zahtjevna radi teksture, tako da sam prvo nanijela jedan tanji sloj, pa jedan deblji sloj laka. Dva sloja su dovoljna za potpuno prekrivanje. Iskreno, mene je tekstura oduševila! Ne smeta mi ni zahtjevna aplikacija - baš me se dojmio upravo zato što je toliko neobičan. Šljokice se primjete no nisu glavne zvjezde ovoga laka. Na mojim noktima je potrajao 7 dana bez da se okrznuo, no skinula sam ga čisto radi promjene. :)

Particles are quite large and the polish has quite husky, rough surface when dry. The application was a bit challenging because of the texture, so I applied one thinner layer first and a thicker layer after. Two layers are enough for a full coverage. Honestly, I was thrilled with the texture! I don't mind challenging application - it actually impressed me because it is so extraordinary. It lasted 7 days on my nails without chipping, but I removed it purely for the change :)

Nakon prvog nanošenja se već ušuljao u favorite, prvo radi boje (obožavam crne lakove), ali posebno radi teksture. Essie Belugaria se može nabaviti na ebay-u, amazon-u i njihovoj web stranici.

It has already snuck into my favorites after first application, first because of the color (i love black nail polishes), but especially because of its texture. Essie Belugaria can be purchased on ebay, amazon and their website.
