Essence Satin Matt and Pastel Ombré topcoats

Hi there!

Iako su mi nokti u komatoznom stanju, nisam mogla odoljeti te sam isprobala dva nova essence nadlaka, a prve dojmove rado dijelim s Vama.

Although my nails are in pretty bad shape right now, I couldn't resist to try two new essence topcoats. I'm sharing my first impressions with you.

U posljednje vrijeme je zavladala nestašica mat nadlaka u našim drogerijama. Zato me je vijest o novom satin matt nadlaku baš razveselila. Evo ga u akciji:

Recently, it was problem to find matte topcoat in Croatian drugstores. No wonder I was so happy to hear that the essence has released new satin matt topcoat. Here it is:

Kao što vidite, lak je pristojno matiran, premda ne posve, ovo je ipak satin mat, a ne mat. Za usporedbu sam na prstenjak nanijela sloj beauty uk matte nadlaka. Čini mi se da razlike među njima i nema. Što se mene tiče, essence je s ovim nadlakom obavio dobar posao i ukoliko volite ovakav finiš, toplo Vam preporučam nabavku istog.

Čisto za usporedbu, ispod je fotka samog laka koji je poslužio kao baza za testiranje nadlaka - Maybelline ColorShow 103 'marinho'.

For satin matt finish, the polish is pretty nice matted. To compare, I have a coat of Beauty UK matte topcoat on my ring finger's nail. Essence did a good job with this topcoat, if you like this kind of finish, than this one is must-have for you. 

Down bellow you can see the polish that was used as base - Maybelline ColorShow 103 'marinho'.

Još me jedan nadlak zaintrigirao - pastel ombré nadlak.

Here is another one - pastel ombré topcoat.

Nadlak je mliječnobijele boje, a trebao od svakog laka napraviti pastelni lak. Pa da vidimo kako to radi.  

The topcoat looks kinda milky-white, and it supposed to change every polish into pastel. Let's see how it works.

Na fotkama možete vidjeti koliko slojeva nadlaka imam na kojem noktu. Najzanimljivija mi je razlika između samog laka i laka tek s jednim slojem nadlaka. Više slojeva nadlaka stvaralo mi je probleme zbog neravnomjernog izgleda. Čak mi je manje smetalo sporije sušenje, što je više slojeva nadlaka to se on sporije sušio, no to mi je sasvim logično.

Vjerojatno će i ovaj nadlak naći svoju publiku, ali osobno ne vidim nekog smisla u njemu. 

Jeste li već probale nešto od essence noviteta?

On photos you can see how many coats of topcoat I applied on every nail. I like the difference between no topcoat and just one coat of topcoat the best. More coats - more problems, the color looks uneven and messy. Of course, more coats means slower drying time, but you could expect that. 

This topcoat will probably found its buyers, but I don't see much sense in it. 

Have you tried any of new essence stuff?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana
