Milani - Hi-Res and comparison with China Glaze - Octa Gone Wild

Hi-Res je eden izmed holografskih lakcev znamke Milani. Gre za nežno vijoličen odtenek, v katerem se nahaja ogromno večjega holografskega šimra. Za prekrivnost potrebuje tri plasti, fotografiji pa sta nastali pod umetno osvetlitvijo in nato še na sončku.

Hi-Res is one of the Milani holographic nail polishes. This is light purple nail polish with lots of larger holographic shimmer in it. It needs three coats for full opacity. First photo was taken under artificial light and the next one in the sun.

Hi-Res me je tako zelo spominjal na odtenek China Glaze - Octa Gone Wild iz Kaleidoscope kolekcije, da sem ju enostavno morala primerjati med sabo. Vendar fotografja žal ne prikaže čisto realnega stanja, saj Octa Gone Wild ni temnejši niti bolj prekriven. Morda pa je v njem zaznati malenkost več holografskega šimra, sicer pa sta si laka izredno podobna. Če ste torej zamudile kaleidoskopčka, je Hi-Res odličen približek. :)

Hi-Res reminded me of China Glaze - Octa Gone Wild from Kaleidoscope collection so much, that I just had to do the comparison between them. But unfortunately the photo is not truly realistic, because in reality Octa Gone Wild is not darker nor more opaque than Hi-Res. But there is a bit more of shimmer in the Octa Gone Wild, but other than that they are very similar. So if you missed the Kaleidoskope one out, then Hi-Res is a really good replacement. :)

Hi-Res, Octa Gone Wild, Hi-Res, Octa Gone Wild.

Holo comparisons: GR8, L8R G8R and Hi-Tech

Danes imam za vas dve primerjavi.
Najprej sledita fotografiji dveh odtenkov znamke China Glaze iz OMG kolekcije - GR8 in L8R G8R. GR8 je zlate barve in je veliko bolj prekriven, na fotografijah sta dve plasti. Zanimivo je, da je to edini lakec iz te kolekcije, ki poleg holografskega šimra vsebuje tudi zlate bleščice, ki na nohtih sicer niso opazne, so pa zato pri odstranjevanju toliko bolj... L8R G8R pa je svetlo zelen in potrebuje vsaj tri plasti.
Meni sta oba odtenka presenetljivo veliko bolj všeč, kot pa sem pričakovala. :)

Today I have two comparisons for you.
First are the photos of two China Glaze nail polishes from the OMG collection - GR8 and L8R G8R. GR8 is gold and is a lot more opaque, there are only two coats on the photos. It is very interesting to me, that this is the only polish from this collection, which does not only have holographic shimmer in it, but also golden glitter. It is not noticeable on the nails, but the polish is as hard to remove as the other glitter polishes... L8R G8R is the pale green and needs at least three coats to be opaque.
I surprisingly like both of them a lot more than I have expected to. :)

V naslednji primerjavi pa sta se znašla lakca China Glaze L8R G8R in Milani Hi-Tech. V osnovni barvi sta si zelo podobna, velika razlika med njima pa je v holografskih delcih. Hi-Tech me spominja na kaleidoskočke iz China Glaze kolekcije zaradi močno razpršenega šimra. Nalakirala sem ga na kazalec in prstanec, na ostalih dveh prstih pa se nahaja L8R G8R.

My next comparison is between China Glaze L8R G8R and Milani Hi-Tech nail polishes. The base colour is pretty close on these two, but the holographic particles are very different. Hi-Tech reminds me on kaleidoscopes from China Glaze because of a lot more scattered shimmer. I have painted it on my index and ring finger and on the other two fingers there is L8R G8R.

Kateri vam je najbolj všeč? Če ste prave ljubiteljice holografskih odtenkov, tako kot jaz, potem pa nujno potrebujete vse tri. ;)

Which one do you like the best? But if you are true holographic freak as I am, you will need all three of them for sure. ;)

Silver holographic comparison, the answer :)

Mislim, da vam dolgujem odgovor na včerajšnje vprašanje. :)
Na fotografijah so sledeči lakci v enakem vrstnem redu (od zgoraj navzdol):

Sally Hansen - Nail Prisms - Diamond,
Nfu-Oh - 61,
China Glaze - OMG,
Color Club Worth the Risque.

I think I owe you an answer to yesterday's question. :)
On the photos there are following polishes (from top to bottom):

Sally Hansen - Nail Prisms - Diamond,
Nfu-Oh - 61,
China Glaze - OMG,
Color Club Worth the Risque.

Color Club - Worth the Risque + comparison

Pred kakšnim tednom dni sem imela na nohtih Worth the Risque, srebrn holografski odtenek znamke Color Club. Ko sem ga nanesla na nohte pod umetno osvetlitvijo, se mi je holo učinek zdel zelo šibak in komaj sem čakala na naslednji dan, da ga vidim na sončku. Žal me je lakec tudi takrat kar malce razočaral, saj je mavrica zelo slabo vidna... :( Lakec je sicer še vedno lep, ampak po fotografijah z ostalih blogov nisem pričakovala samo lepega lakca, temveč norega! :S

About a week ago I was wearing Color Club Worth the Risque, silver holographic nail polish on my nails. The holo effect was not very visible under artificial light when I put it on, so I was really excited to see it in the sun the next day. Unfortunately I was even more dissapointed, because the rainbow was really very very subtle... :( This is still a nice polish, but because of seeing it on other blogs I wasn't expecting just nice one, but crazy one! :S

Umetna osvetlitev. / Artificial light.

Sonce. / Sun.

Kmalu nato sem se odločila, da naredim primerjavo med tem lakcem in nekaterimi ostalimi holografskimi srebrnimi sivkoti. Ostale mavrice so se mi namreč zdele veliko bolj pisane in imela sem prav. Vsi lakci so nanešeni v treh slojih. Ali lahko uganete, kateri so sodelovali v primerjavi poleg Worth the Risque? Za pomoč je steklenička enega izmed njih na spodnji fotografiji. :)

Just a little while later I decided to do a comparison with the Color Club and other silvery/grey holographic nail polishes I own. I thought that the other raibows would be much more visible and I was right. I did three coat of each nail polish. Can you guess, which polishes I was comparing? For a little help - one of them is Worth the Risque and there is a bottle of another one in my hand on the photo below. :)

Nubar - Passionate Purple vs. OPI - Play'Til Midnight

Včeraj, ko sem prejela lakec Nubar - Passionate Purple me je takoj spomnil na drug lakec, ki sem ga že imela OPI - Play'Til Midnight. Zato sem se pred odstranitvijo Nubarja odločila da naredim še primerjavo
Ugotovila sem da sta si podobna, vendar sploh ne enaka, Nubar ima večji šimer in mi je dosti bolj všeč.
Na sliki levo: OPI, desno: Nubar

When I have received my Nubar - Passionate purple polish it has instantly reminded me of another polish that I have, OPI - Play'Til Midnight. So I decided to do a comparison of them.
Opi is on the left and Nubar on the right finger.
I like Nubar more because it has bigger shimmer.




Pred odstranjevanjem sem tudi še enkrat poslikala samega Nubarja, ker se mi zdi, da je na naravni svetlobi še lepši kot slikan s flashem.

I also have another picture of Nubar - Passionate purple for you. This one is taken in natural light.
