Review and swatches: Essence Return To Paradise Trend Edition polishesOpis in ocena: Essence Return To Paradise Trend Edition laki za nohte

Our Muller’s are currently selling Essence Eclipse or Return To Paradise TE or both. I visited all three of our Muller’s but didn’t manage to find My Little Orchid polish. :cry:

So I have for you today only 4 of the 5 Essence Return To Paradise polishes.

Let’s begin with the lightest shade – Fruit Punch.

I deliberately used thicker second coat on my middle finger to see if the third coat would deepen the color (and I was just to lazy to actually use the third layer :blush: ).

Color is nice light orange shade with yellowish shimmer.

Since there is another orange shade in this collection, I had to compared them. :angel:

Sun Downer (ring finger) is a lot more red and I would call this color true orange, while Fruit Punch is more yellow-orange.

Sun Downer is also applied in two coats. Polish has similar shimmer as Fruit Punchu, but more finely milled.

Both orange polishes are pretty summer shades, but for some reason I was not really impressed with them. :think:

My favorite polish from Return To Paradise collection is … Back To Paradise. Dark green shade with slight blue undertone – no wonder I love it. :biggrin:

Of course I had to find out right away if its similar to American Apparel Hunter shade. They’re both dark and green, but Hunter (ring finger) is more yellow green while Back To Paradise leans on the bluish side.

If you compare them in shade, difference is less obvious:

The last polish I have for you is Jungle Drum – dark brown polish that has added shimmer … or the browns would become Essence berry shades (you get same one in almost every collection :undecided: ).

There is not a lot of shimmer present, but you can see it nicely in the sun. Interesting thing is that this polish has purplish undertone and not red or yellow one.

I had trouble with formula of these polishes. You have to have really polish loaded brush to achieve nice application.

But the good side of thick and pigmented formula is, that all of them are great for Konad. :nails:Ljubljanski Mullerji imajo trenutno naprodaj ali Essence Eclipse ali Return To Paradise TE ali pa celo obe kolekciji na enkrat. Kljub obisku vseh treh Mullerjev, mi ni uspelo dobiti My Little Orchid laka.  :cry:

Tako da imam za vas danes samo štiri od petih lakov v Essence Return To Paradise kolekciji.

Začnimo z najsvetlejšim odtenkom – Fruit Punch.

Na sredincu sem namenoma uporabila debelejšo drugo plast, ker me je zanimalo, če bi bil s tretjo plastjo lak temnejši (ampak sem bila prelena, da bi dejansko nanesla tretjo plast :blush: ).

Barva je lepa dokaj svetlo oranžen odtenek z rumenkastim šimrom.

Ker najdemo v kolekciji še en oranžen odtenek, me je zanimala primerjava med njima.

Sun Downer (prstanec) ima v sebi precej več rdeče in je res prava oranžna, medtem ko je Fruit Punch na meji med rumeno in oranžno.

Tudi Sun Downer sem nanesla v dveh plasteh. Šimer je zelo podoben tistemu pri Fruit Punchu, le da je bolj fino mlet.

Oba oranžkota sta lepa in uporabna poletna odtenka, vendar me zaradi neznanega razloga nista navdušila. :think:

Moj naj, naj lak iz Return To Paradise kolekcije je … Back To Paradise. Temo zelen odtenek, ki ima rahel moder podton – ni čudno, da je moj najljubši. :biggrin:

Takoj sem morala ugotoviti, če je kaj podoben American Apparel Hunter odtenku. Oba sta temna, zelena, le da je Hunter bolj rumen (prstanec), Back To Paradise pa moder.

Še fotografija narejena v senci, kjer je razlika manj očitna:

Zadnji lak, ki vam ga bom danes predstavila je Jungle Drum – temno rjav odtenek, ki so mu pri Essence za spremembo dodali šimer … če ne bi se poleg berry odtenkov ponavljali še temno rjavi.

Šimra je sicer bolj malo, vendar se ga na sončku opazi. Posebnost odtenka je tudi to, da ne temelji na rdečem ali rumenem temveč na vijoličnem podtonu rjave. V senci razlike niti ne boste opazile, pri močnejši svetlobi pa je vidna.

Formula lakov mi je na začetku povzročala kar nekaj težav. Na čopiču je potrebno imeti kar veliko laka, na kar sem se kar težko privadila. Ima pa gostejša in zelo pigmentirana formula tudi pozitivno stran – vsi laki so primerni za konadikure. :nails:
