I know, I know – I’m the slowest swatcher alive. :blush: Parokeets ladies were really lucky last week. I managed to see full Urban Messages stand and Maestra got to see Essence NATventURista TE … and she kindly bought me all the polishes. :rose:
I was really looking forward to NATventURista collection in soft and natural tones. If I wasn’t saving for other Catrice and Essence goodies I would buy both eyeliners too, but as situation it as it is I chose only nail polishes.
Essence Barefoot Through The Moss is one of the most wearable nail polishes I have ever seen. Gray-green base with lots of silverish shimmer that turns multicolored in the sun. 2 thicker coats were enough for full coverage. As usually I added top coat.
Essence Mother Earth Is Watching You is another subtle but pretty shade. Color? Brownish base with silver shimmer. More light you have, cooler brown you see as shimmer comes to the front.
2 coats + top coat.
Essence Chirp,Chirp! is the shade I either love or hate on me … it all depends on the lighting. :silly: They packed lots of duochrome shimmer dust in very light beige base. In all the situations except in the sun, shimmer has lovely purple color. But the moment the sun shines directly on it, shimmer turns yellow-green … and I’m apparently not beige-green combo gal. You can still see visible nail line after 2 thicker coats, but look is fresh and clean so VNL did not bother me. You do not want to know how many hours went into photographing this shade. :shock:
Essence You’re MY Dragonfly, Sugar! needed 3 coats to look tasteful on me. You can still see visible nail line, but it is not very pronounced. Color is nothing special really – nude toned peachy shade, but it makes my hands look very pretty. Tiny glitter (glass flakes?) makes this polish look sort of dewy … most of the time anyway.
Price: 1,79 EUR (2.5 USD) for 8ml (0.27 fl.oz.).
I don’t really have a favorite from NATventURista trend edition. I would be sad if I missed any of four shades.
Which shade do you find most useful and would wear the most?
UPDATE: Video of shimmer in Essence NATventURista TE nail polishes.Parokeetke smo prejšnji teden imele kar 2x srečo. Jaz sem imela priložnost stati pred polnim Urban Messages stojalom, medtem ko je Maestro pričakalo Essence NATventURista TE stojalo. In ker je naša Maestra prijazna dušica, mi je vzela vse štiri lake. :rose:
NATventURiste sem se že nekaj časa zelo veselila. Nežni in zemeljski toni so me kar vabili k nakupu. Če ne bi varčevala za druge Catrice in Essence dobrote, bi si zagotovo omislila vsaj še eyelinerja.
Essence Barefoot Through The Moss je eden najbolj nosljivih zelenih odtenkov kar sem jih kdaj videla. Sivo-zelena baza je nabita s srebrnkastim šimrom, ki na soncu pokaže svojo večbarvno lepoto. 2 debelejša sloja sta dovolj, da prekrijeta vidno linijo.
Essence Mother Earth Is Watching You je še en subtilen, a lep odtenek. Barva? Rjavkasta baza s srebnim šimrom. Več svetlobe pade na odtenek, bolj hladno rjavo barvo dobite.
2 plasti + nadlak.
Essence Chirp,Chirp! istočasno obožujem in sovražim na meni … odvisno od tipa svetlobe. :silly: V svetlo bež osnovo so nasuli veliko šimra v prahu, ki pa je duochrome. V skoraj vseh situacijah je šimer vijola barve, ki daje laku vilinski videz. Ko pa lak obsije direktna sončna svetloba, se šimer obarva v rumeno-zeleno. In očitno nisem ljubiteljica bež-zelene kombinacije. Po dveh debelejših plasteh je linija nohta še vedno vidna, vendar je sam izgled zelo svež, tako da me to niti ne moti. Ne sprašujte, koliko ur sem porabila, da sem vam lahko predstavila kolikor toliko realen swatch. :shock:
Essence You’re MY Dragonfly, Sugar! v dveh plasteh na meni ne izgleda lepo. Tretja plast pa čisto spremeni videz in prav polepša moje roke … še vedno pa ni odtenek čisto prekriven. Barva v bistvu ni nič posebnega – kožno-mareličen odtenek z drobnimi bleščicami, vendar mi je ton očitno pisan na kožo. Ne škodi pa niti, da bleščice pričarajo videz drobnih kapljic.
Cena: 1,79 EUR za 8ml.
V bistvu sploh nimam favorita iz NATventURista trend edicije. Če bi ostala brez kateregakoli izmed štirih odtenkov, bi bila žalostna.
Kateri odtenek se vam zdi najbolj uporaben in bi ga najbolj uporabljale?
UPDATE: Video šimra v Essence NATventURista lakih za nohte.
Meni je najbolj všeč zelenko in tisti ta vilinski :wub: ..sicer pa mi je všeč tudi MEIWY, ampak sumim da bi na moji rumeni koži izpadel čudno :cry:
I love the green one and the last one :O
Beautiful colors… really classy! I ♥ them!
Classy in exactly the right description for this collection. :yes:
I am soooo jealous! These are gorgeous! I wish they were available in the states!!!!
Great swatches!
xoxox
Maybe they will be … in couple of months. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Barefoot..my new love :)) :happy:
I’m with you. :silly:
How come I love them all? I adore polishes with hidden/subtle shimmers!
I hope they reach our stores soon (and I can find them)!
Keeping my fingers crossed that you get them.
i was also looking very forward to this LE but when i saw the nailpolishes i was dissapointed :( didn’t get anything from it, saving it for next month ;)
If everything is as pretty as they promise in promo shoots, wave of bankruptcy will spread through our community next month. :haha:
i thought i would really love this collection, but for some reason i don’t… i’m just not a fan of these colors on my (well except for the green one, love that one!)
I had no clue why I loved them, but I do. :biggrin:
Green on is very special … even for those of us that have more than 50 green shades. :silly:
if i ever see the green one in the store, i’m definatly buyin it!
o ja…meni je cela kolekcija ču-do-vi-ta!! poleg vseh 4 lakcev so šli z mano domov še oba gel linerja, blush, zelena in marelična senčka ter celo zapestnica!! vse pridno uporabljam in je zelo “nosljivo” :)
Z eno besedo – fouš. :devil: :biggrin:
the last one looks really pretty!
