trying to recreate Opi - Stay The Night

Že od dneva ko sem prvič videla Opi - Stay The Night mi je bil zelo všeč, zato sem se odločila da poskusim zmešati nekaj podobnega. Uporabila sem črn in mat prozoren lak ter pink bleščice.

I really liked Opi - Stay The Night  when it came out and I tried to create something similar with what I had in my collection. I mixed black and clear matte nail polish with some loose pink glitter.

Dodala sem še dve plasti nadlaka, vendar mi rezultat ni najbolj všeč.

I added two more layers of top coat, but I don't really like the result. 

Po kakšnem dnevu nošenja sem se odločila da dodam še gel nadlak, saj je edini ki takšnim mat sand lakcem doda sijaj kot sem ga želela.

After a day or so on my nails I decided to add some gel top coat over it. I fell this is the only way to add souch shine to a sandy matte nail polish.

Ni ravno enak kot Opi, ampak mi je vseeno zelo všeč.

It's not really the same as the Opi, but I like it a lot.

Yes Love - Concrete - G4-1 & Yes Love - Glow in the Dark With Coke - G2-3

Yes Love - Glow in the Dark With Coke - G2-3 je preosojen lak, ki se sveti v temi, prav tako pa ima bele in koralne bleščice. Odločila sem se da ga nanesem preko rdečega  Yes Love "Concrete" laka in končni rezultat mi je zelo všeč.

Yes Love - Glow in the Dark With Coke - G2-3 is a white and coral glitter in a clear glow in the dark base. I decided to layer it over red "Concrete" Yes Love polish and I really like the end result.

dve plasti / two coats

Yes Love - Concrete - G4-6

Tale lepotec je eden izmed nefotogeničnih vijolkotov, in kolikorkoli se trudim mi ne uspe ujeti realne barve. Realna barva je malo temnejša kot na prvih slikah, vendar vseeno ne tako modra kot na zadnji sliki, ki je slikana s telefonom. 

This beauty is one of those not photogenic purple polishes and I am unable to capture it's true colour. It's a little darker than on the first couple of photos, but not as much blue based than it looks on the last one.

Ko se lak posuši je površina rahlo hrapava, vendar vseeno ni mat. Na vseh slikah so 3 plasti laka, brez nadlaka. Meni so takšni laki zelo všeč, zato sem si kupila celotno "concrete" kolekcijo. Kakšni se pa vam zdijo takšni laki? Bi radi videli še ostale iz te kolekcije? 

The surface of this polish becomes gritty when it dries but it is still shiny. There are three coats of polish without top coat on all the photos. I really like these kind of polishes, that's why I bought the entire "concrete" collection. And what do you think about this finish? Would you like to see the other "concrete" colours?

Bella Oggi - Strass Effect - 03 and 04

Znašla sem se v situaciji, ko sta me zelo pritegnila dva lakca s hrapavim finišem, vendar zanju preprosto nisem želela plačati toliko denarja, kot je bila njuna cena. Prvi od njiju je OPI - Jinx iz Liquid Sand linije, drugi pa IsaDora - Ocean Crush s Sugar Crush kolekcije. Potem pa sem se znašla pred novim stojalom Bella Oggi kozmetike. In glej ga zlomka, na polički so imeli tudi lakce s Strass Effect finišem, med njima pa odtenka 04 in 03, ki ne bi mogla biti bolj podobna prvima dvema lakcema, ki sem ju omenjala. In cena? Za oba skupaj sem plačala približno 6 €. Ko pa sem prišla domov, sem navdušeno ugotovila, da sta kljub občutno nizki ceni tudi zelo kvalitetna! :)

I found myself in a situation where I was very attracted to two nail polishes with a textured finish, but I just didn't want to pay as much money for them as their price was. The first one of these was OPI - Jinx from the Liquid Sand line and the other one was Isadora - Ocean Crush from Sugar Crush collection. Later I spotted a new stand from Bella Oggi cosmetics in my store. And OMG, on the shelf there were also nail polishes with Strass Effect finish. Among them there were two shades, 04 and 03, which couldn't be more similar to the first two polishes I mentioned. What about their price? For both of them together I paid about 6 €. And when I got home, I was also delighted to find out that, despite their significantly lower price, they are also very good quality! :)
 

Odtenek št. 04 je živo oranžne barve z zlatimi bleščicami. Na fotografiji sta sicer dva sloja, vendar bi bil morda dovolj tudi že en sam. Prekrivnost je odlična, lak se je lepo nanašal in zelo hitro posušil, hrapav efekt pa je zelo očiten.

Color Nr. 04 is bright orange nail polish with golden glitter. There are two coats on the photos, but I might get away with only one too, it's very opaque. The polish was easy to work with, it dried very fast and the textured finish is very noticeable. 

Opis odtenka št. 03 je zelo podoben prvemu, le da gre za drugačno barvo - turkizno ali pa modro zeleno z zlatimi bleščicami.

The shade 03 has the same qualities as the first one, except that it is a different color - turquoise or maybe blue green with golden glitter.

Nad tema dvema lepotcema sem še vedno čisto navdušena! :) Ostalih odtenkov sicer nimam, vendar lahko ta dva vseeno toplo priporočam. Če so OPI in IsaDora laki predragi tudi vam, pa sploh. Stojalo sem videla v prodajalni Nama v Ljubljani. Kako pa vam je sicer všeč ta hrapav finiš?

I am still quite impressed over these two beauties! :) I do not own other shades from this line, but I can still recommend these two very much. If OPI and IsaDora nail polishes are too expensive for you too, then even more. Do you even like polishes with textured finish?

Opi - Can't Let Go

Tega lepotca sem dobila za darilo od fanta, zato mi je še posebaj pri srcu. Najprej sem ga nosila 2 dni samega, nato pa sem si zaželela malo spremembe in dodala še eno plast nadlaka. 

I received this polish as a gift from my boyfriend so I like it even more because of this. I wore it two days on it's own and then I decided to change it up a little so I added top coat.

Meni je prečudovit v obeh verzijah. Kako je pa vam bolj všeč?

I love it both ways. What do you think?
