Revelique High Shine Nail Polish in Phantom (100)

Revelique nail polishes are definitely one of the best (personally, one of my dearest) drugstore nail polishes we can find in our drugstores and I think I've tested enough to really stand behind this claim. Phantom (100) is the fifth shade that has gone through rigorous tests and I have three more shades to go. New, fresh, shades to be exact. Cannot wait to show them to be honest. But Phantom is an amazing and totally unexpected choice yet so very chic. The packaging is something you've seen on this blog time and time again and I don't know about you but I really like it. Nicely shaped, with a matte, non slippery cap and not even one has broken and the glue has never loosened nor caused the black cap to separate from the white plastic which is the connector to the brush. That frequently happens to me with nail polishes, even the more expensive ones (Chanel Le Vernis) but not with these cutie pies.

Revelique lakovi za nokte su mi bez sumnje jedni od najboljih i najdrazih drogerijskih lakova za nokte koje mozete pronaci u nasim drogerijama i mislim da sam ih dovoljno istestirala da mogu sa sigurnoscu stati iza ove tvrdnje. Phantom/Fantom (100) je peta nijansa po redu koju sam podvrgnula rigoroznim testiranjima a ostale su mi jos tri nijanse da isprobam. Nove, svjeze krasne nijanse da preciziram. Iskreno, jedva cekam da vam ih pokazem. Ipak, Phantom/Fantom je poptuno neocekivan odabir ali ujedno i jako sik. Pakovanje je nesto sto ste na ovom blogu vidjeli vise puta i ne znam kakvo je vase misljenje, meni super izgledaju. Lijepog oblika, drska je mat i fino lezi u ruci te nije klizava a ono sto zelim naglasiti je slijedece. Nije mi se niti jednom desilo da se cep slomio, niti da je ljepilo oslabilo niti da se crni dio cepa odvoji od bijele plastike koja inace sluzi da poveze vanjski dio cepa sa drskom cetkice. To mi se desava cesto i sa mnogo skupljim lakovima za nokte (Chanel Le Vernis) ali ne i sa ovim slatkisima.

Again, very smart packaging and I am also referring to the label which contains all the necessary info. From the ingredients, the shade, where it was made (in Austria), how much product you get (8 ml) etc. Brush stick is pretty short and the brush itself is medium thick allowing very neat and precise application. Smell is typical for nail polishes but I do appreciate that it doesn't linger on the fingernails when you do coat your nails with this nail polish. Now, the consistency isn't as perfect but it's close. It is a bit streaky when you aplly the first coat and I wouldn't wear one coat anyway. The second coat fills all the streaks without messing with the neat areas which are, to be fair, much bigger than the streaky ones. Streaks are most visible near the nail tips, the base/bed of the nail is flawless from the first coat. Third coat, if you're even going there, doesn't make nails look “chubby” and makes this nail polish almost indestructible.

Znaci u pitanju je jako dobro pakovanje i to se takodjer odnosi i na naljepnicu na kojoj se nalaze sve potrebne informacije. Od liste sastojaka, naziva nijanse, gdje je proizveden (u Austriji), koliko proizvoda dobijete (8 ml) itd. Drska cetkice je prilicno kratka dok je sama cetkica srednje debeljuskasta sto meni omogucava precizno i uredno nanosenje. Miris je tipican za lakove za nokte ali cijenim sto se uopste ne zadrzava na noktima kada ih premazete ovim lakom. Eh, sto se teksture tice, nije mi savrsena ali je prilicno blizu. Zna se desiti da ostavlja one linijice koje su tanje od ostatka sloja laka na noktu a to mi se desava kada nanesem samo jedan sloj laka medjutim, ja skoro nikada i ne stanem na samo jednom sloju. Drugi sloj potpuno popuni sve linije i nece pokvariti vec savrseno nalakirane povrsine nokta. Moram biti iskrena i reci da je ipak mnogo manja povrsina nokta nalakiranog ovim lakom koja je neravnomjerna, sa spomenutim linijama, od povrsine koja je savrseno nalakirana. Linije i neravnomjernost su uostalom vidljivi samo pri vrhovima noktiju dok je korijen i sredina nokta u izvrsnom stanju vec od prvog sloja laka. Treci sloj, ako uopste ikada nanosite treci sloj, uopste ne cini nokte debeljuskastim i nekako ucini lak skoro pa neunistivim.

I love how this is a shiny grey and not matte because grey as a shade is a little muted so the matte effect surely wouldn't look attractive and would probably make short nails look even shorter. The gorgeous shiny, mirror like effect this shade has truly makes it stand appart from other similar shades. So, besides enduring full 5 days without a slightest chip on my nails, it makes my nails look very polished and groomed. Which is something I am absolutely craving for when my nails are short. Fabolous thing about Revelique High Shine Nail Polishes is that they are completely safe to use, without any of those horrible, harsh chemicals (free from formaldehyde, toluene and DBP). I love, love, love how fast they dry and that makes the so fuss-free and shoots these nail polishes in my top choices when I'm on the go. Even ladies with “artificial” nails can use them and I cannot wait for these babies to be available outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina so my readers from other countries can try them out themselves. And guess what? They cost mere 4,5$.

Super mi je sto je ovo sjajna siva umjesto mat sive jer je siva boja sama po sebi dosta svedena i mislim da je mat finisa, ne bi mi izgledala atraktivno i mislim da bi ucinila da kratki nokti izgledaju jos krace. Ovaj lijepi, sjajan poput ogledalca efekat cini da se ova nijansa uveliko razlikuje i odskace od sebi slicnih nijansi. I pored toga sto izdrzi punih 5 dana bez ijednog okrznuca, dodatno mi cini nokte njegovanim i urednim. To je nesto sto ocajnicki trebam u periodima kada su mi nokti dosta kratki. Famozno mi je sto su Revelique lakovi za nokte visokog sjaja potpuno sigurni za koristenje jer ne sadrze one grozne, stetne hemikalije (ne sadrze formaldehide, toluen niti DBP). Strasno volim sto se jako brzo suse i to ih cini tako lakim za koristiti i odmah ih katapultira u sami vrh meni omiljenih lakova za nokte koje najvise volim koristiti kada sam u zurbi. Cak i dame sa “umjetnim”, nadogradjenim noktima mogu da koriste ove lakove a ne mogu docekati dan kada ce ovi proizvodi biti dostupni i van BiH kako bi i moje citateljke iz drugih zemalja mogle da ih isprobaju. I znate sta? Kostaju samo 6,85KM.
