Review and swatches: Misslyn – Peacock LE (duochrome nail polishes)Opis in ocena: Misslyn – Peacock LE (duochrome laki za nohte)

The other day I went to the local drugstore just to see if there’s any new limited editions and stuff available. There were no new displays, but I did find some interesting nail polishes by Misslyn. Four of them caught my eye and I impulsively bought them, because they looked like awesome duochrome nail polishes in the bottle. And you know how rare you find an interesting duochrome nail polish in the drugstore, right? Well, as I wrote before I bought four of them. They didn’t stand on a separate display, they were mixed with other nail polishes. When I brought them home I searched online for swatches and couldn’t find any. What I did find out is that all four of them belong to Misslyn’s newest collection called Peacock. The collection consists of five nail polishes and a highlighter, which I haven’t seen in the store. Isn’t it funny? No special display for a limited edition … hmm … Nevermind. Moving on to the swatches.

722 – Chameleon is a golden-greenish-brown duochrome. It reminds me of Chanel’s Peridot and Catrice’s Genius In The Bottle.

724 – Flower Bird changes colors between dark grey, pink, red-purple and it even flashes teal and green. Fantastic and for me the most interesting nail polish from the collection.

726 – Dragonfly is purple-blue-green duochrome. It’s my least favorite from the collection and that’s not because of the color, but just because it’s the most sheer and it’s the most frosty.

729 – Leguan is another great nail polish. It changes color between golden-green, green, teal and blue. For those of you who wanted Peridot to be more green, this one might be your cup of tea.

My opinion on the Peacock collection

It’s amazing! Finally something that got me excited. Finally duchromes in the stores. Thank you Chanel! You just got to love Chanel. Do you wonder why? Well, because they set these fun and exciting trends and then other brands (like they don’t have imagination at all) follow. They just follow … isn’t that fascinating? And on the other hand it’s sad and boring, but still … this time I’m excited.

And a few words about the quality of the nail polishes.

These nail polishes are on the sheer side (with 726 being the most sheer). But the sheerness is kind of usual thing when it comes to duochromes. These are actually more opaque than I thought they would be. I can get away with only two coats, but I have short nails and I’m just too lazy for three coats (unless it’s really necessary). I didn’t have any problems with the application. When you apply these, I suggest you are a bit careful, because there can be some visible brush strokes if you are not careful. Misslyn polishes don’t dry very fast, but on me they are quite long lasting.

The only polish from the bunch that I do not recommend is the 726, because is the sheerest of them all and it’s also the most frosty. And I also had problems with bubbling with this one. The other three are much better and I highly recommend them if you like duochrome nail polishes.

Misslyn bottles contain 10 ml of nail polish and they are sold for a bit less than 5€ in Slovenia.

Have you ever tried any of the Misslyn polishes? What do you think of them? And which one of the bunch is your favorite?

Pred nekaj dnevi sem se odpravila v bližnji Muller, da pregledam, ali imajo kaj novega in privlačnega. Naletela nisem na nobeno zanimivo in novo kolekcijo, sem pa naletela na nekaj zelo zanimivih lakov za nohte. Štirje laki za nohte znamke Misslyn, ki so se sramežljivo skrivali med ostalimi “dolgočasneži”, so takoj pritegnili moje “oko sokolovo”. Čisto impulzivno sem vse štiri tudi kupila. Zakaj? Ker so v stekleničkah izgledali čudovito duchromno in saj veste, kakšna redkost je v naših drogerijah najti kaj tako zanimivega in drugačnega. Kot sem že napisala, so vsi štirje odpeketali z menoj domov. Ko sem prišla domov, sem strička Googla povprašala, ali ima zame kaj swatchev teh lepotcev. Striček je odgovoril, da swatchev nima, mi je pa zaupal, da so vsi štirje laki del najnovejše kolekcije znamke Misslyn. Kolekcija se imenuje Peacock in vsebuje pet lakov za nohte in en osvetljevalec za obraz. Slednjega v trgovini nisem opazila. Hmm … A ni to izredno smešno? Nova kolekcija in nobenega posebnega stojala? Ahja … Kakorkoli … gremo na swatche.

722 – Chameleon je zlato-zelenkast-rjavkast duochrome. Spominja na Chanelov Peridot in prav tako na Catrice – Genius In The Bottle.

724 – Flower Bird spreminja barvo med temno sivo, roza, rdeče-vijolično in odseva celo modro-zeleno. Fantastičen lak in meni med vsemi najbolj zanimiv.

726 – Dragonfly je modro-vijolično-zelen duochrome. Meni najmanj ljub iz celotne kolekcije. Pa niti ne zaradi barve, ampak zaradi tega, ker je med vsemi najbolj prosojen in frosty.

729 – Leguan je še eden čudovit lak iz kolekcije. Tale spreminja barve med zlato-zeleno, zeleno, zeleno-modro in modro. Za vse tiste, ki ste želeli, da bi bil Peridot bolj zelen, je tale morda ravno pravšnji.

Moje mnenje o Peacock kolekciji

Čudovita je! Končno nekaj, kar me je presenetilo in razveselilo. In končno duochrome laki v trgovinah. Hvala Chanel! Človek enostavno mora imeti rad Chanel. Se čudite zakaj? No, ker vedno znova pridejo ven s takšnimi zabavnimi trendi, ki jih potem skoraj vse znamke posnemajo (kot da so popolnoma brez svojih idej). Enostavno samo sledijo trendom, ki jih drugi postavljajo. A ni to fascinantno? In po drugi strani blazno žalostno in dolgočasno … a vseeno, tokrat sem navdušena.

In še nekaj besed o kvaliteti lakov

Vsi predstavljeni laki so nekoliko prosojni (726 je med vsemi najbolj prosojen). Vendar pa je prosojnost nekako značilna za duochrome lake. V bistvu sem pričakovala, da bodo ti celo manj prekrivni, kot dejansko so. Pri večini mi zadostujeta dve plasti. Res pa je, da imam kratke nohte, poleg tega pa sem še prelena za tri plasti. Tri plasti laka za nohte nanesem samo, če je resnično nujno. Sicer pa z opisanimi laki nisem imela težav pri nanosu. Predlagam, da ste pri nanosu vseeno malenkost previdni, saj so ob nepazljivosti lahko potegi od čopiča nekoliko bolj opazni. Misslyn laki za nohte niso ravno znani po izredno hitrem sušenju. Plus pa je, da so na meni kar obstojni.

Iz vseh zgoraj opisanih vam ne priporočam nakupa laka 726, ker je izmed vseh najbolj prosojen, prav tako je izmed vseh najbolj frosty. Poleg vsega pa sem s tem odtenkom imela težave, ker se je začel mehurčkati, ko se je posušil na nohtu. Ostali trije so druga pesem in jih priporočam.

Misslyn stekleničke držijo 10 ml izdelka, stanejo pa nekaj manj kot 5€.

Ste Misslyn lake že preizkusili? Kako se vam zdijo? Ina kateri izmed zgoraj predstaljenih vam je najbolj všeč?

  1. Nice post, but I think they are all supposed to be layered :yes:
    The display contains the effect polishes, black nail polishes and the highlighter. My favorite is Dragonfly :wub:

    • In my opinion these are too pigmented, too frosty to be layered. I know they are supposed to be layered over black, but I don’t like the end result. I like them the way they look on their own. ;)
