Royal Vendetta

Hi there!

On tuesday, Avon had a presentation of their new products - Gel finish nail polishes. That happened in Zagreb, which is some 400 km away, too far away for me. I didn't get the invitation, but next morning I had a delivery. You can only imagine my reaction! It was like... . Then I peeked in that bag...

U utorak, Avon je imao predstavljanje novih proizvoda - Gel finish lakova za nokte. To se, naravno, odigralo u Zagrebu, što je meni nekih 400 km predaleko. Ionako nisam dobila pozivnicu, ali iduće jutro sam imala dostavu. Možete zamisliti moju reakciju! Bila sam u totalnoj zbunjozi . A onda sam zavirila u torbu...

OMG, inside was the whole collection of this polishes - 24 of them! I almost fainted! 

OMG, unutra je bila kompletna kolekcija ovih lakova - njih 24! Umalo sam se onesvijestila!

My reaction was   , there was even some . I was really moved, I never got anything like this! Even for a polishaholic this is really too much, for a moment I thought my poor heart won't make it. The color range is pretty cool, all colors look great, only, considering the time of year, I think they should be a few pastel shades in this collection - but, it's only me. After just watching them for an hour it was time to paint the nails. Yeah, like it would be easy to choose from a bunch this big! But I had to start somewhere. Some of you will probably guess which color was my first choice. 

Moja reakcija je bila:   , bilo je čak i nešto . Stvarno sam bila dirnuta, nikad nisam dobila nešto ovakvo! Čak i za lakoholičarku ovo je previše, na trenutak sam pomislila kako moje jadno srčeko to neće izdržati. Raspon boja je krasan, sve boje primamljivo izgledaju, samo, s obzirom na doba godine u  kojem smo, mogla bi unutra biti i koja bočica pastelnih nijansi, ali to je tek moje mišljenje. Nakon što sam skoro sat vremena buljila u njih došlo je i vrijeme za lakiranje noktiju. O da, kao da je lako izabrati nešto iz ovolike gomile! No, negdje se moralo početi. Neke od Vas će bez problema pogoditi koja boja će biti moj prvi izbor.

Avon 'Royal Vendetta', two coats, outside, no topcoat/dva sloja, vani, bez nadlaka

I must apologize for pretty bad state of my nails and cuticles . Anyway, these are two layers of Avon 'Royal Vendetta' without topcoat. If you're really careful, maybe you can get with just one, but I prefer two thin layers than one thick. On last photo, taken in the shade, you see how glossy this polish is. Avon polishes come in 12 ml bottles, with medium wide angled brush, but not too much angled. I'll keep in mind to take a photo of it next time. Polishing with it is really easy. Drying time is pretty decent too, and polish has that self-leveling quality. The finish is, as you can see, super glossy. I must confess that after wearing it for 24 hours, in which I took a shower, washed my hair, wash the dishes and done some shopping and cleaning around the house, I have visible tipwears. Considering that this is a bright shade that can be expected, maybe it would survive longer if I've been used a topcoat. I don't think that's a big flaw, rarely darker shades survive more than 24 hours on my nails. But I have found one flaw to all polishes from this line - no name on the bottle. These polishes come in little boxes, which is great, but once you get them out you can easily mix them up and forget the names. 

Then my sister decided to come over and get a new manicure, with new polishes, of course. Her choice was purple - 'Perfectly plum' with 'Mauvelous' on accent ring. Look how gorgeous is that plum color .

Morat ćete mi oprostiti loše stanje noktiju i zanoktica . Nego, na fotkama su dva sloja Avon 'Royal Vendetta' bez nadlaka. Ukoliko ste baš pažljive, možda biste mogle proći i s jednim slojem, no ja radije stavim dva tanja nego jedan deblji. Na posljednjoj fotki gore, poslikanoj u sjeni, možete vidjeti kako je sjajan. Avonovi lakići dolaze u bočici od 12 ml, sa srednje širokom i blago kosom četkicom. Mentalna zabilješka da Vam to i poslikam pri idućem lakiranju . Lakiranje s njom zbilja ide bez problema. Vrijeme sušenja je pristojno, a lak se nekako sam izravna, nadam se da znate na što mislim. Finiš mu je, kao što ste vidjele, super sjajan. Moram priznati da se nakon 24 sata, u kojima sam odradila tuširanje, pranje kose i suđa, shopping i nešto čišćenja, vide izlizani vrhovi noktiju. S obzirom na to kako upadljiva je ova boja to se moglo i očekivati, tamnije boje rijetko izdrže 24 sata na mojim noktima. Možda bi nadlak popravio stvar, no ovo mu ne uzimam za manu. Ipak, pronašla sam jednu svim lakovima iz ove linije - nema imena na bočici. Lakovi dolaze u kutijicama, što je super, no kad ih izvadite lako ih je pomiješati i zaboraviti imena. 

Kasnije je i moja sestra svratila na novu manikuru, s novim lakićima, narafski. Njen je izbor bila ljubičasta - 'Perfectly plum' s 'Mauvelous' na akcentu. Pogledajte kako je samo krasna ta šljiva .

Now I had to spiced up my manicure too, so I added 'Glimmer' on two nails. 

Sad sam htjela začiniti i svoju manikuru, pa sam dodala 'Glimmer' na dva nokta. 

I can hardly wait to try the rest of shades from this line. Big thanks to Avon for giving me the chance to try these polishes. You probably know that you can get these polishes from your Avon lady. 

Which color would you choose first?

Jedva čekam isprobati ostatak kolekcije. Veliko hvala Avon timu što su mi pružili priliku da probam ove lakiće. Vjerojatno znate da ćete ove lakove pronaći kod svoje Avon lady. U aktualnom katalogu su na promotivnoj cijeni od 39 kn, a ako uzmete dva dobti ćete ih za 50 kn. Treba to iskoristiti .

Koju biste boju Vi izabrale za početak?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana
