China Glaze - Sun Worshiper

A venit timpul sa va arat cea mai minunata, senzationala, fantastica oja neon din lume: Sun Worshiper de la China Glaze! Nu exista cuvinte care sa arate cat de mult pot sa iubesc nuanta asta!

It is time to show you the most wonderful, sensational, fantastical nail polish in the world: China Glaze's Sun Worshiper! There are no words to express how much a truly love this shade!

Unii considera aceasta nuanta ca fiind portocalie dar pentru mine este cel mai aprins galben posibil! Poti opri traficul sau dirija avioane cu oja asta pe unghii! Am fost oprita pe strada si intrebata ce minunatie de oja port si mi s-a intamplat ca persoane cu care purtam o discutie sa se opreasca in mijlocul unei fraze pentru ca nu se puteau concetra din cauza unghiutelor mele stralucitoare! Eu prefer sa o port aplicand 2 straturi peste o baza de alb dar devine opaca si din patru straturi fara baza. Ca majoritatea ojelor neon se usuca foarte repede dar mat, asa ca un top coat este necesar pentru a o face lucioasa. Face parte din colectia Poolside din 2010, ca si Flip Flop Fantasy.

Some consider this shade an orange but for me it's the brightest yellow ever! You can stop traffic or direct aircrafts with this polish on your nails! People stopped me on the street and asked me what is this marvelous shade i'm wearing and friends i was having a conversation with were stopping mid-sentence because they were unable to focus due to my radiant nails! I prefer wearing it in two coat over a white base but it also gets opaque in 4 coats on its own. Like most neon polishes it dries really fast but to a matte finish so a top coat is necessary for making it shiny. It's part of the Poolside collection from 2010, just like Flip Flop Fantasy.

Sally Hansen - Lagoon

Lagoon face parte din colectia Complete Salon Manicure de la Sally Hansen, lansata in vara lui 2010.

Lagoon is part of the Complete Salon Manicure Collection, released by Sally Hansen in the summer of 2010.

Este o oja turcoaz ce se usuca cu un finish undeva intre shimmer si metalic. Imi place la nebunie! Pensula plata si lata face ca aplicarea sa fie foarte usoara si devine opaca in doar doua straturi, fara a lasa urme. Poate fi considerata si un duochrome deoarece are reflexe fie verzi, fie albastre, in functie de lumina, dar este intotdauna foarte stralucitoare!

It's a turquoise nail polish that dries somewhere between a shimmer and metallic finish. I love it! The flat and wide brush makes applying it a breeze and it's opaque in two coats, without laving any brushstrokes. It can also be considered a duochrome because it leans either green or blue, depending on the lighting, but it's always extremely bright!

OPI - I Brake For Manicures

I Brake For Manicures face parte din colectia OPI - Touring America din toamna lui 2011.

I Brake For Manicures is part of the OPI - Touring America Collection from the Fall of 2011.

Culoarea este dificil de descris si de fotografiat, probabil cel mai bine descrisa ca pruna, cu inflexiuni gri, dar in lumina artificiala poate parea chiar maro. Desi este o nuanta inchisa, nu pare niciodata neagra. Textura este crema si daca aveti putina grja la aplicare poate fi opaca dintr-un singur strat. Trebuie sa reunosc ca nu am fost prea incantata de culoarea din sticluta dar pe unghii parca prinde viata! Se usuca repede, rezista cateva zile fara probleme si e perfecta pentru tomana.

The color is quite difficult to describe and photograph, but it seems to be a deep plum with dusky inflections, but in artificial light it can even seem brown. Although it's a dark shade, it never looks black. Texture wise it's a creme and if you're a little careful when applying, it can be opaque in one coat. I must admit i wasn't all that excited when i saw the bottle, but on the nails it comes alive! It dries pretty fast, no chipping for a few days and it's perfect for autumn.

Bourjois - Prepp'hibiscus

Nuanta Prepp'hibiscus face parte din gama So Laque Glossy de la Bourjois si a fost lansata in primavara acestui an alaturi de alte 7 nuante.

Prepp'hibiscus is part of the So Laque Glossy range from Bourjois and has been released in the Spring of this year together with other 7 shades.

Nu este o nuanta originala, doar o crema corai cu finish lucios, dar aplicarea se face foarte usor  si rezista fcateva zile fara a se ciobi deloc.

It's not the most original shade, just a coral creme with a shiny finish, but it applies easily and lasts a few days without chipping.

China Glaze - Rose Among Thorns

Din momentul in care am intrat in frenezia unghiilor pictate in culori neon, am cautat si un rosu care sa se incadreze in aceasta categorie. Cei de la China Glaze au probabil cea mai mare gama de oje neon si la ei am gasit raspunsul cautarilor mele: Rose Among Thorns!

Since i got carried away into the neon frenzy, i started looking for a red that falls into this category. China Glaze has probably the biggest range of neon nail polishes, and that's where i found the answer to my search: Rose Among Thorns!

Cum se intampla cu majoritatea neoanelor, fotografiile nu surprind nici pe departe adevarata intensitate a culorii. Este mult mai vibranta in realitate! Formula este foarte subtire si e nevoie de trei straturi pentru o acoperire decenta, dar care tot lasa linia unghiei usor vizibila. Eu am foosit doar doua straturi peste o baza de alb pentru o acoperire perfecta si o culoare mai intensa. Finish-ul este satinat si pentru mai multa stralucire trebuie sa folositi un top coat.

Like in the case of most neons, the photos don't show the true intensity of the color. It's a lot more vibrant in reality! The formula is thin and it need three coats for a decent coverage, that still leaves a slightly visible nail line. I used two coats over a white base for a perfect coverage and a brighter color. It dries to satin, so you'll need a top coat for a shiny finish.

Do you know other neon reds?

Gabrini - Summer Edition C 05 - neon green

Cochetez de ceva timp cu idea de a incerca si un verde neon dar nu am reusit inca sa ma decid intre Kiwi Cool-Ada si In The Limelight de la China Glaze. Probabil o sa ajung sa le iau pe amandoua... Dar pana atunci am incercat verdele neon de la Gabrini, din colectia lor de vara de anul acesta.

I've been contemplating for a while the idea of trying a neon green nail polish but i haven't been able to decide between Kiwi Cool-Ada and In The Limelight from China Glaze. I'll probably end up getting them both... But until then i tried the neon green from Gabrini's Summer Edition collection from this year.

Ce imi place cel mai mult la aceasta oja este ca spre deosebire de majoritatea celor neon, care au nevoi de o baza de alb pentru o acoperire perfecta, aceasta devine complet opaca din doua straturi. Se aplica foarte usor si se usuca destul de repede. Are un finish lucios si este foarte stralucitoare.

What i love most about it is that unlike most neon nail polishes, who require a whiste base for a perfect coverage, this one is completely opaque in two coats. It applies easily and it dries pretty fast. It dries very shiny and is extremely bright. Definitely not for the faint of heart!

Orly - Surreal Collection - Fall/2013

Pentru toamna lui 2013, Orly ne propune o colectie atipica pentru acest anotimp, numita sugestiv: Surreal.

For the Fall of 2013, Orly brings us an atypical collection for this season, suggestively named: Surreal.

Colectia contine 6 oje noi: 2 creme, 3 shimmer si o oja cu sclipici. Nuantele alese mi se par atipice pentru o colectie toamna si probabil mai potrivite pentru primavara. Impresia generala este a unei colectii foarte feminine inspirate din povestile cu zane si poate chiar de aceea... Surreal!

The collection consist of 6 new polishes: 2 cremes, 3 shimmers and a glitter. The shades seem atypical for an autumn collection and perhaps better suited for spring. The general impression is of a girly collection inspired by fairy tales and perhaps because for that... Surreal!
