CND: Colour – Raisin In The Sun + Effect – Copper Shimmer

This time Maestra and I reviewed CND creme base polish Raisin In The Sun and Copper Shimmer effect. :nails:

At first none of us was really into the base + effect combination. I just guessed it’s nothing new and I simply hated “old” CND polishes with their slow drying time.

But last month Maestra and I stopped at NailSpa in Ljubljana and discovered the whole new world. We played with different bases and effect like little children play with their most loved toys. :silly:

The owner of the NailSpa was kind enough to give us Colour Raisin In The Sun and Effect – Copper Shimmer to play with at home. :rose:

My greedy hands got them first. :biggrin:

I was impressed with the creme base. Brush is made with somebody like me in mind. I just can’t remember the last time the polish was so easily transfered onto my nails. :silly: I liked the fact that Raisin In The Sun is not “just” brown polish – it has this pretty reddish undertone you can see in little bit stronger light.

I butchered one of my kitchen sponges and applied Copper Shimmer effect with it. :angel:

I did plan putting Konad over the sponge, but I loved the manicure too much to alter it in any way. :wub:

Effects are not made just from shimmers, glitter or mica. Combination of different ingredients is what gives them power to give life to creme polishes.

I’m officially hooked. One of the effects is already mine and the other is on it’s way to me. I’m already plotting which polish will I use as base and show you what kind of a difference can effects make. :angel:

And here’s what Maestra has to say …

I totally agree with everything Gejba wrote. First I didn’t care about the effects either. I mean, layering isn’t anything new to the polish world. CND just used the idea and made a whole line based on it. What’s wrong with that? I’d say nothing, especially if it’s so well thought through. I mean, the effects I tried are really amazing. By combining and using creativity, you can achieve some great transformations. Gejba already showed you hers. Here comes mine …

… first Raisin in the Sun alone …

… with the effect Copper Shimmer …

… and pictures taken in different angles …

… and for the end with some stamping using the image from the IP H22 and polish Raisin in the Sun …

What do you think about the transformations?

Giveaway is CLOSED.Z Maestro sva tokrat testirali CND krem lak Raisin In The Sun ter Copper Shimmer effect.

Mislim, da najprej nobena od naju ni bila nekaj hudo navdušena nad “novo” CND pogruntavščino, kjer so dali na voljo krem baze ter kopico prosojnih nadlakov z bleščicami, šimrom ali pa prelivanji. Meni osebno se to ni zdelo nič posebnega, tako da nisem kupila nobenega novega laka v CND kolekciji. Levji delež za to verjetno leži v slabih izkušnjah s počasnim sušenjem “starih” CND lakov.

Ko pa sva prejšnji mesec z Maestro zavili na NailSpa manikurni otoček v Supernovi na Rudniku v Ljubljani, se mi je odprl nov svet. Kot dva otročka sva se igrali z različnimi kombinacijami baz in efektov. :silly:

Kot že rečeno sta z nama sta odšla Colour Raisin In The Sun ter Effect – Copper Shimmer, ki nama ju je lastnica otočka prijazno podarila. :rose:

Najprej sem ju dobila v roke jaz. :biggrin:

Že krem baza me je čisto navdušila. Čopič je očitno narejen čisto po moji meri, ker se ne spomnim, kdaj je lak tako lepo drsel po nohtu in so krivine nastajale kar same od sebe. :silly: Najprej sem mislila, da je Raisin In The Sun “le” rjav lak, vendar je rdečkast podton lepo viden v močnejši svetlobi.

Sledil je nanos Copper Shimmer efekta z razmesarjeno kuhinjsko gobico. :angel:

Načrtovala sem sicer še Konad čez sponge, vendar mi je bila manikura tako všeč, da sem jo pustila tako kot je. :wub:

Efekti so proti mojim pričakovanjem mešanica različnih šimrov, bleščic ter prelivajočih se sljud, tako da dajo laku neverjetno globino. Mislim, da sem uradno zasvojena – eden efekt se je že pridružil moji zbirki, drugi pa je na poti. :blush:

Je kar varno reči, da lahko z moje strani pričakujete še kar nekaj manikur in primerjav efektkov čez različne baze. :angel:

Svojo “kapljico” dodaja še Maestra …

Z zgoraj napisanim se popolnoma strinjam. Efekti me sprva niso ganili, ker dejansko ne gre za čisto nič revolucionarnega. “Layering” nam je vsem že dobro poznan. CND pa so to idejo pač izkoristili in na tak način ustvarili novo linijo. Še zmeraj trdim, da ne gre za nič revolucionarnega, ampak delo so pri CND izredno dobro opravili, saj so efekti res dobro premišljeni in z malo kreativnosti ali kombiniranja lahko dosežemo resnično čudovite preobrazbe. Gejba vam je svojo preobrazbo že pokazala, na vrsti je še moja …

… najprej sam Raisin in the Sun …

… dodatek efekta Copper Shimmer …

… in še nekaj različnih zornih kotov …

… za konec pa še Konad z vzorčkom iz IP H22 in lakom Raisin in the Sun …

Kako se vam zdita preobrazbi?
