Ulta3 Triple Threat Vs. Deborah Shine Tech 18

Hi there!

Black nail polish is my first love. Because my collection is so big, I don't have a chance to wear it as often as I'd like to. But, this post will be all about black .

Crni lak za nokte je moja prva ljubav. Zbog prevelike kolekcije (a i hrpe novih lakova koje jedva stignem isprobati) ne nosim ih baš onako često kako bih htjela. No bar će ovaj post biti isključivo crn  .

 Deborah Shine Tech 18, two coats, no topcoat, outside / dva sloja, bez nadlaka, vani

This black beauty came from Italy, from my dearest Tanja. What can I say, she knows me too well . The brush inside 8,5 ml bottle is wide, the polishing with it smoothly. First coat doesn't look so great, it's pretty thin, but the second fix that. Since the polish is full of tiny holographic glitter the surface of dry polish is kinda gritty, but it doesn't bother me at all. Drying time is excellent. And yes, I love it!

Ovaj je crni ljepotan stigao iz Italije, od moje drage Tanje. Što da kažem, predobro me poznaje  . Četkica u bočici od 8,5 ml je široka, a lakiranje s njom ide bez problema. Prvi sloj je prilično proziran, no drugi to fino ispravi. Kako je lak pun sićušnog holo glittera površina mu je hrapava, no to meni i ne smeta previše. Vrijeme sušenja je odlično! I da, baš ga volim!

Ulta3 is an Aussie brand, and it found its way to me via awesome Michelle. Do yourself a favor and check out her blog, she's really creative and talented. Triple Threat is a super pigmented black polish with holographic glitter. The brush inside 13 ml round bottle is medium wide, and I had no problem with it. It looks awesome, and the only abjection that I have is its drying time, it should be better. Luckily, there's always speed drying topcoat around. 

Ulta3 je australski brand, a do mene je stigao preko Michelle. Učinite si uslugu i provjerite njen blog, žena je zbilja kreativna i talentirana, i razvaljuje nail artom. Triple Threat je super pigmentiran crni lak s holo glitterom. Četkica u okrugloj bočici od 13 ml je uža, no nije mi stvarala probleme. Lak izgleda super, jedini prigovor koji imam odnosi se na vrijeme sušenja, trebalo bi biti brže. Srećom, uvijek se nađe koji brzosušeći nadlak u blizini.

Although they look alike, they are pretty different. Deborah's polish has more glitter, but it's smaller than the one with Ulta3 polish. Ulta3 is more pigmented, and the glitter inside is more visible, since it's bigger. Also, the surface of Ulta3 polish looks much smoother than the one of Deborah, but they're both gritty. When it comes to drying time, Deborah is sure winner. If you want a glossy surface, Deborah's polish is kinda thirsty, and you'll need at least two coats of topcoat. But you know what - I'm glad I have both of these beauties.

What is your verdict, which one would you prefer?

Premda izgledaju dosta slično, nisu ni približno isti. Debora lak ima više glittera, koji je prilično sitniji od onog kod Ulta3. Ulta3 je pak pigmentiranije baze, a glitter na koncu vidljiviji, jer je veći. Površina suhoh Ulta3 laka izgleda prilično glađe no ona kod Deborah, ali su oba hrapava pod prstom. Kad govorimo o vremenu sušenja, tu Deborah sigurno pobjeđuje. A ako baš inzistirate na glatkoj površini, Deborah lak je žedniji pa ćete trebati barem dva sloja nadlaka. No znate što - meni je drago da imam oba krasotana. 

Kakva bi bila Vaša presuda, kojeg bi radije imale?
