SWATCHES AND REVIEW: BOURJOIS - LA LAQUE COLLECTION

//Provided For Honest Review//

Hello ladies,
I have a wonderful news for all fans of my nails - we are back on a normal length for swatching and nail art, so I started as fast as I could. Because my son is really active these days, I couldn't start writing this post before, and now it is in progress for two days already. About a month ago I got a blogger pack of 6 Bourjois nail polishes from a Slovenian supplier Orbico. Bourjois nail polishes are probably the most wanted drugstore polishes in my country, so make sure to check them really great, cuz they will probably around your place as well really soon. In the end I will show you also two nail arts I did using these products, and a short video tutorial for one of them.

Zdravo dekleta,

Imam eno krasno novico za vse oboževalce mojih nohtov - končno smo spet na primerni dolžini za swatchanje in delanje poslikav, tako da sem se kar se je dalo hitro lotila dela. Če bi bil moj dragi sin malo manj aktiven zadnje dni, bi bila ta objava spisana že dva dni nazaj, tako pa mi jo je uspelo šele sedaj dobro začeti. Pred slabim mesecem sem od slovenskega dobavitelja Orbico dobila nekaj Bourjois lakcev v oceno. Bourjois laki za nohte so pri nas trenutno eni bolj zaželenih in iskanih drogerijskih lakov, tako da si dobro oglejte spodnje lepotce, saj se bodo zelo kmalu znašli tudi na poličkah slovenskih drogerij. Seveda vam bom na koncu ponudila tudi nekaj idej za poslikavo, za eno pa sem posnela tudi video tutorial, tako da vabljene k branju.

Bourjois - La Laque collection consists of 12 creme nail polishes in classic shades. There are mostly reds and pinks, but all of them are really pretty and can be worn in normal everyday life. There is one (actually a few of them) thing I can say for all 6 polishes I got for review - their formula is amazing, and makes sure your nails look perfect in only couple of moves and using only one coat of polish. Although they look a bit thick on a first sight, the application is smooth and the finish in the end is super shiny. They dry very fast - by the time I applied the polish on all of my nails and did the clean up, the polish was already dry. Oh, and the bottles - they are specially shaped and very cute, so I think this is one of the reasons I will have to get the rest of the polishes as well. You can read more about the individual shades lower in the post.

Bourjois - La Laque kolekcija je sestavljena iz 12 kremnih lakov v klasičnih barvah. Prevladujeta rožnata in rdeča, a vseeno so odtenki zelo lepi in predvsem nosljivi tudi v normalnem vsakdanu.  Eno (no, kar več stvari) pa velja za vseh 6 lakov, ki sem jih prejela v oceno - izjemna formula, ki poskrbi da so vaši nohti popolno nalakirani v parih potezah in zgolj z eno plastjo. Čeprav na prvi pogled laki izgledajo malce bolj gosti, se namažejo brez težav ter nudijo izjemen lesk na koncu. Sušijo se tudi zelo hitro - ko sem prišla naokoli, in počistila višek laka iz obnohtne kožice, je bil lak že suh. Čopič je super oblikovan in dovoljuje zelo lahek nanos. Flaške so pa zelo zanimive oblike, kar je zagotovo tudi eden izmed razlogov, zakaj bom morala imeti vse iz te kolekcije. Več o posameznih odtenkih si lahko preberete v nadaljevanju.

L proti D: White Spirit, Are You Reddy, Fuschiao Bella, Beach Violet, Marron Show, Ni Vernis Bleu

01 White Spirit - is a snow white creme nail polish. What I like the most about this one is that there are no brushstrokes, and that it is really opaque in max two coats, if you don't pay to much attention to the first one.

01 White Spirit - je bel kremni lak. Pri tem pikecu mi je noro všeč da je res prekriven v največ dveh plasteh, pa še to samo če se ne nameni dovolj pozornosti in pazljivosti prvi. 

12 Ni Vernis Bleu - is a turquoise creme nail polish. If you ask me if there is more blue or green - no clue. I think it really depends from the lights. But it is a great shade for the upcoming summer, because it reminds me of see.

12 Ni Vernis Bleu - je turkizen kremni lak. Če me vprašate ali ima več modrega ali zelenega podtona - kaj pa vem. Vse je odvisno od svetlobe. Je pa super odtenek za prihajajoče poletje, saj definitivno zelo spominja na morje.

05 Are You Reddy? - is a bright red creme nail polish and is my favourite from this collection. Why? Because it is my first red polish ever, and I have a lot of them, that is really opaque in one single coat! And I am not kidding! The amazing formula of this collection really blew my mind, but I haven't seen a bright red baby, that is opaque in one coat, ever before.

05 Are You Reddy? - je živo rdeč kremni lak in je moj najljubši iz te kolekcije. Zakaj? Ker je prvi rdeči lak izmed mnogih, ki jih imam, ki je dejansko prekriven z eno samo plastjo!!! Brez heca! Čudovita formula te kolekcije me je totalno obnorela, ampak živo rdeč lak in popolna prekrivnost, kaj takega pa še ne!

06 Fuschiao Bella - is a fuchsia creme nail polish. I am not a huge fan of this color, but it still seems to be a nice polish for the upcoming hot days.

06 Fuschiao Bella - je kremni lak v barvi fuksije. Sama nisem ravno ljubiteljica te barve, ampak se mi še vseeno zdi lak, ki bo zelo primeren v prihajajočih vročih dnevih.

10 Beach Violet - is a darker purple creme nail polish. I don't have any polishes of this color either, but I think I might have some polishes that look quite the same though, so you can expect some comparison posts soon.

10 Beach Violet - je temnejši vijolični kremni lak. Tudi takšne barve še nimam v kolekciji, imam pa kar nekaj približkov, tako da bo verjetno sledila kakšna objava s primerjavama.

09 Marron Show - is a maroon brown-reddish creme nail polish with an amazing shiny finish. It can be that the finish is the same with all the polishes, and here stands out because the shade is a bit darker. Probably one of the polishes to be worn this autumn, since it is a bit dark for summer.

09 Marron Show - je kostanjevo rjavo-rdeči kremni lak z izjemno sijajnim zaključkom. Verjetno pri tem laku pride še bolj do izraza, ker je precej temen in pod svetlobo kar zaflešira. Lakec, ki  se bo zelo nosil jeseni, saj je za moj okus malce pretemen za poletje.

For the first nail art I have used the white baby (White Spirit) from this collection as a bas. Because it dries rapidly, I didn't use any top coat between the steps. I protected my cuticles with liquid latex - that purple thing that you can usually see in tutorial videos. While I was applying the latex, the polish dried completly, so I took Mundo de Unas - Yellow and Geranium stamping polishes, and stamped a design from Pet'la Plate - Ceres stamping plate. As you can see below, I did a gradient with tha stamping polishes, and I like the final result so much, that I plan so many manicures on white base with gradients already. I peeled of the latex with tweezers, did a fast clean up and in the end applied a coat of fast drying Poshe. I think it is great for summer, what about you?

Pri prvi izmed poslikav sem za podlago uporabila beli lakec iz te kolekcije, torej White Spirit. Ker se zelo hitro suši, ni bilo potrebe nanašati še hitrosušeči nadlak. Obnohtno kožico sem zaščitila s tekočim lateksom - to je tista violična tekočina, katero pogosto vidite v kakšnih filmčkih. Ko sem nanesla lateks je bil lak že suh, tako da sem hitro zbrala dva lakca iz moje Mundo de Unas kolekcije (Yellow in pa Geranium) in z njimi nanesla vzorec iz Pet'la Plate - Ceres ploščice. Kot je razvidno, sem z rumenim in oranžnim lakom ustvarila prelivanje, in rezultat mi je bil zelo všeč, tako da bo vprihodnosti zagotovo še veliko nail arta na beli podlagi s prelivanjem. S pinceto sem odstranila lateks, na hitro še počistila nepravilnosti in na koncu nanesla eno plast hitrosušečega laka Poshe. Meni se zdi čutovito za poletje, pa vam?

My second nail art is freehanded. No plates! :) I used the red nail polish from this collection (Are You Reddy?) as a base. The red color reminds me on ladybugs, so I decided to do an easy freehand nail art, which was done in 15 minutes. This time no latex, because brush is easier to control when it comes to cuticles. On a piece of plastic foil I put down a few drops of Mundo de Unas Black stamping nail polish and drew the head of the bug. Using Mundo de Unas White stamping polish and a dotting tool, I drew the eyes and then the dots. I finished the mani with one coat of Poshe.

Druga poslikava je pa narejena zgolj z laki in čopičem. Za podlago sem tokrat izbrala rdečega lepotca Are You Reddy?. Mene rdeče barva velikokrat spominja na pikapolonice, tako da sem se odločila za super enostavno poslikavo, ki je narejena v 15. minutah. Tokrat obnohtne kožice nisem zaščitila z lateksom, saj je čopič lažje kontrolirati kot pa štempiljko. Na košček plastične folije (lahko uporabite tudi vrečko, paleto za slikanje ali kaj podobega) sem nanesla par kapljic črnega Mundo de Unas laka, ki je namenjen za delanje odtisov s šablonami, ampak ker je super pigmentiran sem ga uporabila tudi tukaj. Zarisala sem najprej glavo pikapolonice. Nato sem z belim Mundo de Unas lakom narisala oči, potem pa dodala še črne pikice ter še mini pikice na bele oči. Zaključila sem manikuro prav tako z eno plastjo Poshe nadlaka.

If you think the description of the process is too complicated, you can check the video below. :)

V kolikor se vam opis manikure zdi preveč zapleten, si celoten postopek lahko pogledate tudi v naslednjem kratkem filmčku.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more swatches, nail arts and beauty related stuff!

Upam da ste uživali v predstavitvi teh čudovitih lakcev, ki bodo na voljo v naših drogerijah v začetku junija.
