China Glaze - Stone Cold

Hello :)

Kada sam pripremala prethodni post, primetila sam da mi je ovaj lak među lakovima koje tek treba da prikažem na blogu. S obzirom na to da mi je ovaj lak jedan od all time favorita, ne znam kako se do sada nije našao ovde. O ovom laku imam da vam kažem mnogo lepih stvari, pa nastavite da čitate ako vas interesuje.

When I was preparing last post, I noticed that this polish is in pile of polishes that are not on my blog yet. Since this one is one of my all time favorites, I don't know how it didn't find its way to my blog until now. I have so much nice stuff to say about this polish, keep reading if you are interested.

Ovaj lak, pored još 10 primeraka, čini The Hunger Games kolekciju. Zašto toliko hvalim ovaj lak? Zašto mi je jedan od najdražih u kolekciji? Pored subjektivnih razloga - nijanse, koja mi je baš po volji, ima još kvaliteta zbog čega je dobio epitet favorita. Pigmentacija je fantastična - lak bez problema i posebnih uslova aplikacije pokriva u jednom sloju, čak i sada kada su mi nokti nešto duži. Suši se rekordnom brzinom do predivnog mat finiša, i tada je zaista suv. Opisaću vam jednu situaciju, nakon koje sam ga potpuno zavolela: imala sam neki događaj jedno veče, ali mi je dan bio toliko zauzet da nisam stigla da sredim nokte za to veče. Ponela sam lak u torbici, nalakirala ga u kolima (pretpostavljam da se podrazumeva, ali da naglasim: nisam ja vozila), i dok smo stigli lak je bio suv! Svesna sam da ovo zvuči kao scenario za reklamu, ali je zaista bilo ovako. I kako da ga ne volim?

This polish, together with 10 others, makes The Hunger Games collection. Why do I love this polish so much? I love it for its shade - it is really nice one, for my taste perfect, and there are some more qualities that makes this one one of my favorites. It has amazing pigmentation - it covers in one coat perfectly, without special application, even now when my nails are a bit longer. It dries very fast and it has beautiful matte finish, and then it is completely dry. I will describe one situation for you, after this I totally fell in love with it: I had some event one night, but I was so busy all day that I didn't have time for my nails. I bring this polish with me in my purse and I applied it in car (I guess it speaks for itself, but I feel the need to say that I wasn't driving), and when we got there, polish was dry! I can see how this story seems like scenario for TV commercial, but it was just like that. And how not to love it?

Pored svih pozitivnih stvari navedenih iznad, da ne bi sve bile pohvale, moram da navedem i nešto što predstavlja minuse kod ovog laka. Primetile ste sigurno da kada pišem o lakovima, uglavnom ne pričam o trajnosti na noktima, jer ja nokte lakiram u proseku svaki drugi dan, a svaki lak toliko izdrži, pa nisam baš merodavna. Ovaj lak se nije drastično skidao, ali već sutradan mi je pravio belu liniju na vrhovima noktiju. Drugi minus je četkica - to je opet sasvim subjektivno, ja ne volim tanke četkice, a ova je za moj ukus tanka, što naravno nije vezano za ovu nijansu konkretno, već za sve China Glaze lakove. Ne mogu da kažem da imam problema sa nanošenjem laka zbog ovoga, nego prosto preferiram deblje četkice.

I have to write few flaws for this polish. You maybe noticed that I never write about how many days polish lasts on my nails, it is because I paint my nails every other day, and every polish can survive that time on nails. This polish is showing tip line day after on my nails. Second flaw is brush - that is just my opinion and my preference, this one is too thin for me, which is same for all China Glaze polishes. I can't say that I have trouble with application, I just prefer thicker brushes.

Bočica sadrži 14ml laka (ja sam uspela da ga potrošim skoro do polovine). Možete ga naručiti preko sajta Alexandar Cosmetics-a, gde je trenutno na popustu, ili u nekom od distributivnih centara. Da li vam se dopada ovaj lak? :) Čitamo se uskoro ;)

Bottle contains 14ml of nail polish (I made it to the almost half of the bottle). In Serbia, you can order it here, it is on sale now, or in some of these stores. Do you like this nail polish? :) See ya soon ;)
