Swatches & Reviews : Classics 162 & Mini Aura 55

Danas nije moj dan za lakiranje. Sve je pocelo jos popodne kada sam smislila da isprobam neki zeleni Classics 162 lak koji sam kupila pre par godina. Ne znam ni da li sam ga ikada ranije koristila. Mali je, od samo 5ml, i proizvodi ga Erkul Cosmestics u Turskoj. Posto je to proizvodjac i Golden Rose-a, nisam sigurna da li je ovo bila neka linija GR-a, ili kao posebna marka. Da predjemo na sam lak. Smaragdno zelena boja sa srebrnim shimmerom u sebi me je na prvi pogled ocarala. Formula nije bas najbolja tako da mu je trebalo 3 debela sloja da bi postigao skoro pa punu pokrivenost, ali ova boja to i zasluzuje. Planirala sam da idem i cetvrti, ali posto me je mrzelo da cekam da se osusi, premazala sam SV preko treceg sloja, i…. uvidela da ga je potpuno skupio. Sva sreca da sam ga tako skupljenog uslikala, posto dok sam mazala cetvrti, sve sam upropastila. Vise srece drugi put :). Ono sto mi je posebno interesantno kod ovog laka – susi se na mat. Pogledajte i same :)

Today isn’t my polishing day. It all started in the afternoon when I decided to try out a green Classics 162 polish that I bought few years ago. I don’t know did I ever used it before. It’s small, just a 5ml, and manufacturer is Erkul Cosmetics in Turkey. Since it’s the same manufacturer as is for Golden Rose, I’m not sure was this some line of Golden Rose, or was is different brand. Let’s go to polish itself. Emerald green color with silver shimmer enchanted me on the first look. Formula isn’t the best, so it took 3 think layers to achieve almost full opaque, but this color deserve it. I planned to do the 4th one too, but I couldn’t wait for it to dry, so I applied SV after the 3rd layer, and… SV totally shrink it. Luckily I pictured it then, because when I was applying 4th one, I totally ruined it. More luck next time :). What I find to be the most interesting with this polish – it dries matte. Check it out :).





Druga runda. Posle par sati bila sam slobodna za jos jedan pokusaj. Ovog puta Aura 55 u mini pakovanju, koju mi je decko kupio zajedno sa onom prethodnom. Iako su mnoge od vas imale sasvim pozitivne komentare, moji su i dalje negativni. Ono sto sam mislila tad, isto je i sada. Kratka cetkica ne moze da pokrije moje duge noktice, vreme susenja je predugo (a SV se nisam usudila staviti zbog iskustva od popodne), trebala su 4 debela sloja… Pogledala sam malo swatcheve drugih Aura mini lakova (od ovog nisam nasla), i onda sam shvatila da svi koji hvale formulu ovog laka imaju kratke nokte. Konacan zakljucak : Aura Mini je pogodna ako su vam nokti do 1.5 puta duzine od cetkice :D. U suprotnom, zaobidjite. (Ispravite me ako mi je zakljucak pogresan).
Da ne zaboravim da pomenem jedinu stvar koja mi se stvarno svidja kod ovog laka. Tamno plava boja sa srebrnim shimmerom. Dva za redom :).

Round 2. After a few hours I was free for another attempt. This time, Aura 55 in a mini package, which my boyfriend bought me together with the previous Aura that I swatched. While many of you had very positive comments, mine are still negative. What I thought then, as it is now. Short brush couldn’t cover my long nails, drying time is too long (and I didn’t dare to use SV because of the afternoon experience), I needed 4 think layers ... I searched a little bit for swatches of other mini Aura polishes (I didn’t found of this), and then I realized that all those who sad that the formula is good, they all have short nails. Final conclusion: Aura Mini is ideal if your nails are up to 1.5 times of the length of brush :D.  Otherwise, don’t buy it. (Correct me if my conclusion in wrong)
I almost forgot to mention the only thing that I really like about this polish. Dark blue color with silver shimmer. Two in a row :).





A onda sam opet sve pokvarila. Probala sam pecatima da nacrtam masnice, i skliznuo mi je pecat na prst. Toliko o lakiranju danas. Losa sudbina (2) : Ja (0).
Sutra je novi dan :).

And then I ruined everything again. I tried to stamp some bows, but stamper slipped on my finger. So much for the polishing today. Bad fate (2) : I (0).
Tomorrow is a new day :).
