NOTD: My First China Glaze

8 Comments
Hello ladies!

Scroll down for english


RO: De fapt ar trebui sa fie NOTPD - nails of the previous day - pentru ca de azi port altceva pe unghii :))) Trebuie sa precizez ca imi plac ojele, imi plac culorile dar nu sunt nici pe departe atat de pasionata ca alte college din blogosfera ;) Colectia mea de oje este destul de mica (dar in continua crestere :D), nu am fost inebunita dupa oja crackle DAR…intotdeauna exista un dar…SUNT OBSEDATA DE OJA HOLOGRAFICA! Si stiti ce este amuzant? Ca am aflat de ea de la o fashion blogger :)))) Si de atunci m-au bantuit aceste oje si am tot cautat variante sa-mi pot achizitiona si eu una



Dupa ce am studiat bine ojele holografice normal ca am ramas cu o fixatie pe oja Chanel. Nimic nou sub soare! Asa ca am intrat pe ebay si am cautat, poate ma lipesc si eu cumva de un set (base coat+oja holografica). Sunteti curioase sa stiti cu cta se da? Nici mai mult, nici mai putin decat vreo 200 euro. Pey la valoarea mea, trebuie sa-mi iau 2 seturi, nu unul! :P Urmatoarele pe lista au fost cele de la Gosh si Koh dar inca nu am gasit (nici nu am cautat prea bine) pe unde as gasi la noi, dar poate licitez un Gosh pe ebay, ramane sa ma mai gandesc.


Si dupa cele de sus, venea si China Glaze, sansa mea, stiind de blogul Beauty in the bottle, si de Roxana care aduce oje China Glaze. Numai ca la inceput nu am vazut nimic, si afland ca este dintro colectie veche nu stiam daca mai pot s-o command. Pana cand a postat Anais un NOTD cu o oja China Glaze holografica si mi s-au aprins beculetele, afland de la ea ca erau pe stoc la Roxana. Am intrat pe Beauty in the bottle si m-am hotarat foarte usor: clasica oja holografica argintie. Si asa m-am ales cu Sexagon, din colectia Kaleidoscope si m-a costat 26 de lei. A durat ceva pana am intrat in posesia ojei, asteptand comanda dar din punctual meu de vedere a meritat. Roxana a fost foarte draguta, mi-a raspuns imediat la mail-uri si am colaborat foarte bine


Acum, sa va povestesc despre Sexagon. Am tinut-o pe unghii cel putin 2 saptamani, doar asta am purtat pe unghii de cand am primit-o dar nu m-am putut bucura foarte mult de ea la inceput, neffind soare afara, dar de cand cu vremea frumoasa, ma uitam continuu la unghiile mele :))) Prima oara am incercat s-o aplic in 2 straturi dar am constatat ca 3 ar trebui pentru o distributie mai buna a particulelor. Cand aplicati oja, nu insistati foarte mult in anumite locuri pentru ca veti indeparta toate particulele din zona respectiva. Tine vreo 5 zile si cu top coat si fara, dar fara spalat prea mult de vase sau alte treburi prin casa ce presupun sa stai cu mainile in apa. Chiar am incerct sa captez frumusetea ojei dar nu mi-a prea iesit :( Am pus totusi cateva poze pentru a va da o idee

lumina naturala


lumina artificiala, aceeasi configuratie ca in prima poza


lumina naturala, 3 straturi




Particulele holografice sunt destul de mari si nu obtii un effect atat de pronuntat. Karla Sugar a reusit sa surprinda foarte bine efectul holographic, chiar asa arata unghiutele cand e soare puternic afara :D Si am mai gasit acest articol unde puteti vedea toate ojele holografice China Glaze din cele 3 colectii: Kaleidoscope, OMG si Tronica. Iar aici puteti gasi alte oje holografice argintii, inclusiv minunatiile Chanel si Gosh :X


Cum vi se par ojele holografice? Si stiti cumva de unde imi pot cumpara Gosh la noi???

EN: Well, actually it should be NOTPD as in nails of the previous day since, as of today, I'm wearing something else on my nails. It should be noted that I do like nail polish but I'm not as passionate as other bloggers I know ;) My nail polish collection is quite very small, crackle nail polish didn't impressed me that much BUT...there's always a but...I AM ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH HOLOGRAPHIC NAIL POLISHES!!! And you what's crazy? That I've found out about these babies from a fashion blogger :)))) Well, I did and I've been obsessing over them ever since and doing some searching to find somewhere in Romania this type of nail polish.



After a good study over the various holographic nail polishes and different manufacturers, I was completely drooling over the Chanel ones. What a surprise! So I got on ebay to see how much could it cost, maybe I could bid on one. Wanna know the price for the Chanel set (base coat+holographic nail polish)? About 200 euros if I'm not mistaken. I'll have 2 please! :))) Next on my list was the Gosh and Koh ones but I don't know if I can get them in Romania, maybe I'll bid on ebay but I'm not sure yet...



And after those, came China Glaze and that was my chance since I knew there's a girl who brings China Glaze but at first, I didn't know if I could get that holographic nail polish I saw. Untiiiil...Anais posted a NOTD with a China Glaze holographic nail polish and I was "ding ding ding!!!!" It was easy to choose a color: classic silver holographic nail polish. And that's how I ended up with China Glaze's Sexagon, from the Kaleidoscope collection and payed about 7 euros for it.


Now, about Sexagon. I have been keeping it on my nails for about 2 weeks, ever since I got it, but couldn't really enjoy it that much until recently, due to the lack of sun. But when it's sunny outside, I just love to stare at my nails :))) I first tried to apply it in 2 coats but I find it looks better in 3 because you get an even distribution of the particles. When applying it, don't insist on any areas too long, you'll just end up with spots without holographic particles. It lasts for 5 days with top coat and without, as long as you don't wash many dishes or other chores involving water. I really tried to capture the beauty of it, but it always eluded my pictures. Still I have some pictures, to give you an idea


natural light


artificial light, same thing as the first pic

natural ligh, 3 coats

The particles are a bit too big and that's why you don't get a very pronounced holographic effect. Karla Sugar really captured the effect, that's how it looks if it's reeeaaaallly sunny outside :D And I found this post where you can see all the Ghina Glaze holographic nail polishes, for their 3 collections: Kaleidoscope, OMG and Tronica. And here you can see other silver holographic nail polishes, including the Gosh and Chanel :X


What do you think about holographic nail polishes?
