For a few days now I’ve been admiring my manicure. Nothing strange for me if not for the fact that I’m talking about Alessandro Hypnotic shade which is supposedly dupe for Chanel Paradoxal … shade that didn’t really appeal to me (if I judge by the swatches). :biggrin:
Alessandro presented us this fall LE that consists of only one shade – Hypnotic.
I don’t know if it’s a dupe for Paradoxal or not, but I can tell you that it’s gorgeous and very unphotogenic shade. :devil:
Base is mix of muted violet-brown-gray color and doesn’t look pretty by itself. But when you add to the mix violet and purple shimmer … :drop:
Why unphotogenic? Purple shimmer/tone is actually seen even in the weak light, but I simply could not transfer it to the photo. :hmm: And since the shimmer is the whole point of this shade, none of the photos turned out as pretty as they should.
This is one of those polishes that simply screams – classy. And if Paradoxal is as unphotogenic as Hypnotic, I get all the craze about it. :biggrin:
Application was OK. I used two layers + top coat. On the third day damage was minimal – slight tip wear.
Price for 10ml bottle – little less than 10 EUR.
*product was sent to me for review purposes.
Že nekaj dni občudujem svojo manikuro. Kar niti ne bi bilo nič nenavadnega, če ne bi šlo za Alessandro Hypnotic odtenek, ki naj bi bil zelo podoben Chanel Paradoxalu … ki pa me, vsaj po swatchih sodeč, ni pretirano navdušil. :biggrin:
Alessandro nam je to jesen postregel z omejeno izdajo, ki pa jo sestavlja samo eden odtenek – Hypnotic.
Ali gre za “dupe” Paradoxala ali ne, ne bi vedela, je pa definitivno prekrasen in zelo nefotogeničen odtenek. :devil:
Osnova je nekakšna mešanica zamolkle vijola-rjavo-sive barve in ni sama po sebi nič posebnega. Ko pa dodaš v mešanico še hladen in topel vijola šimer … :drop:
Zakaj je lak nefotogeničen? Čisto v vsaki svetlobi je viden vijola podton/šimer, na fotografijo pa mi ga ni in ni in ni uspelo ujeti. :hmm: In ker je ravno šimer tisti, ki je bistvo tega odtenka, ni seveda nobena fotografija čisto realna.
Pri meni je tale lepotec pristal v kategoriji – klasično lepi odtenki.
Nanos je bil neproblematičen. Uporabila sem dve plasti + nadlak. Obstojnost je pri meni dobra – tretji dan so bile le konice rahlo “zlizane”.
Pri nas je/bo na voljo v sledečih trgovinah: Douglas, Limoni, Nama in Maximarket. Medtem ko te LE v Mullerju (na Čopovi) nisem videla.
Cena za 10ml stekleničko – nekaj manj kot 10 EUR.
*izdelek sem prejela v oceno.
Takole po tvojih swatchih sodeč (v primerjavi z drugimi swatchi), se mi ne zdi dupe. Pretemno bazo ima. Sicer pa je lepši od Parodoxala, še zdaj mi ni čisto jasno, zakaj tak pomp okoli te barve. :shock:
Meni tudi ni jasna fama okrog Paradoxala, ampak me veseli, da je Alessandro vzel “in” odtenek in ga izpopolnil. :thumb:
Malo me samo skrbi, ker sem pofirbcala po njihovem stojalu in našla vsaj 5-10 odtenkov, ki bi jih imela … bankrot. :nervous:
Lol, I don’t really think Paradoxal is special. This one looks nice! Too bad it’s unphotogenic :)
I see there is a lot of us out there who do not get the craze about Paradoxal. :biggrin:
:w00t: this really make me hypnotize.. :stars: so gorgeous but its pricey..LOL :haha:
Price is really not kind for our wallets. :nervous:
bar po slikama sto sam vidjela ne cini mi se da je ovo duplic paradoxala, ovaj mi je i ljepsi :biggrin:
I meni. :biggrin:
In moje prednovoletne zaobljube da par mesecev ne bom več kupovala lakcev so splavale po vodi… :zip: . Punce zaradi vas bom morala iti na rehabilitacijo :scared:
Nekaj mesecev brez novih lakcev? :shock: To je najstrožja možna kazen. :silly:
Krasan lakić,vrijedi ga imati u kolekciji :thumb:
Definitivno. :wub:
lovely shade!
It really is. Definitively nice surprise. :thumb:
Looks like a very nice colour – shame that shimmer & sparkle won’t photograph!
It’s quite weird that I took literally hundred of photos and it simply did not show up. :think:
All these Chanel dupes! I wonder how it looks next to Revlon Perplex! I love this color.
I guess our importer decided to skip Perplex shade. I would love to compare Revlon and Alessandro version of Paradoxal. :nails:
Meni je ovaj ljepsi od paradoxala koji mi izgleda kao neki neuspjeli franken :haha:
Dobro da nisam jedina kojoj se swatchi Paradoxala nisu svidjeli. :silly:
