I abducted Maestras Alessandro 257 and 259 polish … just for a quick ride. :angel:
They have one thing in common – flakes.
257 or greeny as I named it, is gorgeous. It has dark olive green base and lighter green flakes in different sizes and shapes.
Flakes loose their impact in the sunshine (olive base and copper shimmer prevail), but they really come to life in indirect lighting.
259 has violet-blue base and mainly copperish flakes (they can turn pinkish or orange in certain light). Every once in a while you’ll spot green flake.
Flakes are not as pronounced as with 257 shade. In general I don’t like combination of cool base and warm shimmer.
Greeny would become part of my collection if not difficult removing. I had to use extra strong nail remover and still din not manage to remove all of the flakes.
Application was great with both polishes. Each is shown with two layers, no top coat.
Like 261 shade, 257 and 259 are part of the Alessandro Vamp limited edition.
Price for one mini (5 ml=0,17 fl.oz.) is 4 EUR (5.5 USD).Maestri sem za en krog zaplenila Alessandro 257 in 259 lakca. :silly:
Obema so skupne bleščice v obliki krpic.
257 aka zelenko, me je čisto prevzel. Lak ima za osnovo olivno zeleno barvo, ki so ji primešali svetlo zelene krpice različnih velikosti in oblik.
Na soncu se krpice kar malo izgubijo. V ospredje pride sivkasto olivna osnova in deloma bakren šimer.
V senci se pa krpice pokažejo v vsej svoji lepoti. :wub:
259 vsebuje vijolično-modro osnovo in prevladujoče bakrene (ki znajo potegniti na roza ali oranžno barvo) krpice. Sem ter tja pa se posveti tudi kakšna zelena krpica.
Krpice niso tako izrazite kot pri 257 odtenku. Na splošno me kombinacija hladne osnove, finega srebrnega šimra in toplih krpic ni pretirano navdušila.
Zelenko bi takoj pristal v moji zbirki, če ne bi bilo odstranjevanje bleščic zelo težavno. Najprej sem morala uporabiti močnejši odstranjevalec laka, ki ni ravno priljubljen pri mojih nohtih, a mi še vedno ni uspelo odstraniti vseh bleščic.
Druge Parokeetke bi mi verjetno rekle, da je za lepoto treba potrpeti. :biggrin:
Nanos je bil pri obeh neproblematičen. Na slikah sta dve plasti, brez nadlaka.
Tako kot Alessandro 261, sta 257 in 259 del Alessandro Vamp omejene izdaje.
Steklenička vsebuje 5ml laka in stane 3.95 EUR.
Jaz sem jih bolj zaslutila kot videla. :angel: Mogoče jih je Maestra našla kaj več. :silly:
Sem nabavila oba odtenka, ker sta mi krasna. Pri odtenku 257 pa se zelene krpice ne pojavljajo zgolj tu in tam, ampak če jih pogledamo pod pravim kotom svojih oči (če dvignemo svoje prste vzporedno svojim očem v isti liniji), se krpice spremenijo v zelene … In barva laka dobi popolnoma drugačen sijaj. :wink:
These remind me of the Nfu-Oh polish flakies. They are really pretty. I also use the jar with the sponge and acetone remover. Works well.
I tried a lot of things, but none of it really works. Glitter is just hard to remove I guess. :(
Thanks! What do you use to remove this type of polishes (and glitter) besides acetone? I find glitter is much easier to remove if I use one of those little jars with acetone soaked sponges. I just stick my finger in for a couple of seconds and then use acetone and felt to “finish he job”.
I think they’ll nicly fit into you collection. :nails:
I like the whole Vamp collection but these two really stand out because they are so unusual.
And yeah – I bought them after seeing your pics :whistle:
lahko iz lastnih nohtov potrdim, da je zelenko naravnost božanski!
o modrem pa še tuhtam, ali naj ga kupim ali ne
Ojoj, ta dva s krpicami pa sta mi naravnost grozna. Ju ne bi nosila … :roll:
:drop: :drop: :drop: Komaj čakam, da bodo v mojih rokah in na mojih nohtih :nails: :drop: Zelen je unikat!
