Revelique: The Nude Nail Polish Edit

Revelique High Shine Nail Polish in Venus (150) has a terrific idea behind it. This is a pearly, milky and extremely light nude-ish white. The description is heavy with different hues and finishes because this nail polish shade is somewhat difficult to specify. In the bottle, it looks like a light, regular nude. It does have an extremely interesting pearly sheen to it (microscopically fine shimmer). It seems like a foil of some kind. Not glossy, simply a mildly reflective effect on the nails. And it is a truly flattering shade, it elongates nails beautifully. I would say that it's perfect if there wasn't a flaw somewhere in the story. I don't know why but it seems that a milky nude is generally so hard to created with an even application. Unfortunately, it is of a slightly streaky formula. The streaks do show up after a couple of coats which I personally found a bit annoying. Perhaps that is due to my inner perfectionista but I believe that most people wouldn't mind this – just us, boring perfectionists. It dries quickly so that's a plus and it lasts for about three days on the nails before it starts to fade away (a day less than the rest of Revelique nude polishes).

Revelique High Shine lak za nokte u nijansi Venus (150) iza sebe ima krasno osmisljenu temu. Ovo je biserno, mlijecno i iznimno svijetla nijansa boje koze. Odredjivanje nijanse sadrzi nesto veci broj opisnih rijeci iz razloga sto je ovu boju prilicno tesko vjerno opisati. U bocici, djeluje kao standardna boja koze, doduse nesto svjetlija. Ono sto je za nju interesantno je izuzetno zanimljiv biserni odsjaj (sadrzi skoro pa mikroskopski sitne cestice sljokica). Djeluje kao folija preko noktiju. Nema visoki sjaj nego jedan blago reflektivan efekat. I ovo je uistinu nijansa koja lijepo stoji te izduzuje nokte. Rekla bih za nju da je savrsena da nema jednu manu. Ne znam zasto ali cini mi se da je generalno zahtjevno kreirati mlijecnu boju koze koja ce se ravnomjerno nanositi. To sam primijetila kod jako puno brendova. Zao mi je reci ali ovaj lak ostavlja brazde. Ovo neravnomjerno nanosenje je vidljivo i nakon par slojeva laka sto meni licno smeta. Mozda se perfekcionista u meni buni, ipak mislim da ovaj detalj nece smetati vecini kupaca ali meni slicnim vjerovatno hoce. Jako brzo se suzi sto je plus i traje na noktima tri dana prije nego pocne blijeditim po rubovima noktiju (to je dan manje od trajanja ostalih Revelique lakova boje koze).

Revelique High Shine Nail Polish in Pirouette (140) is perhaps the shade I expect to look most flattering on most skin tones. This is a true nude hue. It looks beautiful on every hand and nail shape. Shorter nails blend with the skin while long nails would look stunning – just like from a photoshoot. A perfect nude nail polish is a powerful beauty weapon and can conceal flaws with equal success as it can emphasize strong points. Pirouette is a neutral nude, a light cappuccino shade without any pink or yellow undertones. It luckily doesn't look like cement, it doesn't look chalky at all even with the absence of any shimmer inside. It's deliciously creamy and visually evens out any bumps on the surface of nails. Extremely attractive and shiny. This one applies evenly and can hold up on the nails for four days before it starts to fade off the edges. It doesn't chip, not on my nails. Finally, a perfect nude when you're on a budget. This shade has my fullest recommendation.

Revelique High Shine lak za nokte u nijansi Pirouette (140) ce najvjerovatnije komercijalno biti najbolje prihvacena nijansa od svih u ovoj grupi. To mislim iz razloga sto odlicno stoji vecini tonova koze bas zato sto je ovo prava “nude” nijansa. Krasno djeluje na svakoj ruci i svakom obliku noktica. Kraci nokti se (kada su njom namazani) stope sa okolnom kozom i djeluju duzi dok duzim noktima ucini ono najljepse – potpuno ih usavrsi i izgledaju kao da su spremni za profesionalno snimanje. Idealan lak boje koze je mocno beauty oruzje koje moze sakriti mane sa jednakim uspjehom kako i istice ono sto je najljepse na rukama. Pirouette je neutralna boja koze, cak svijetla boja kapucina bez ikakvih ruzicastih ili zutih primjesa. Srecom ne djeluje tesko kao cement, niti “krecasto” bez obzira sto ne sadrzi u sebi nikakve sljokice. Slasno je kremast te vizuelno izravna sve nepravilnosti nokatne ploce. Jako je lijep i sjajnog finisa. On se nanosi ravnomjerno i moze na noktima izdrzati cetiri dana prije nego pocne blijediti po rubovima. Ne krza se, barem ne na mojim noktima. Napokon, savrsena boja koze koju uvijek mozete priustiti. Nju mirne savjesti mogu preporuciti bas svima.

Revelique High Shine Nail Polish in Poetry Slam (160) is the most special of the bunch. This is that luxe, greige, taupe-y shade everyone is crazy about. These types of shades are commonly featured by high-end brands (i.e.Chanel Le Vernis Particuliere). Most often, high-end brands are most successful with their takes on the greige trend (a chic mix of gray and beige tones, often with light lilac and macchiato hues involved). Poetry Slam is that rare drugstore greige which looks unbelievably luxurious and high-end, yet it's cheap as chips. I will definitely stock up on this hue for the upcoming autumn because that's the season greige trend pops up most. The application is perfection, it glides on like a dream. No shimmer, just yummy creaminess. This hue is a bit sheer so you do need two coats to achieve full opacity but when you do – you get almost a gelish effect. Extremely pretty and glossy. Beautiful autumnal hue (I cannot wait for autumn to come so I use it nevertheless).

Revelique High Shine lak za nokte u nijansi Poetry Slam (160) je najposebniji od svih. Ovo je ona luksuzna “greige” (grez) nijansa. Idealan omjer bez i sivih tonova za kojoj svi lude. Ova vrsta nijanse se nerijetko moze naci u ponudi high-end brendova (npr. Chanel Le Vernis Particuliere). I najcesce, bas ti high-end brendovi kreiraju najbolje izvedbe ovog “greige” trenda (uz sive i bez nijanse se mogu pojaviti i blaga lila te boja bijele kafe u miksu). Poetry Slam je rijetki drogerijski primjerak “greige” laka za nokte koji djeluje nevjerovatno luksuzno i skupo a najbolji dio je sto vi znate da niste morali mnogo potrositi kako bi je priustili. Ja cu nabaviti sebi jos bocicu-dvije posto zelim da se obezbjedim za nastupajucu jesen jer bas u jesen ovaj trend ozivi svake sezone. Nanosenje je perfektno, klizi preko nokta bez zadrske. Ne sadrzi sljokice, potpuno je kremaste teksture. Ova je nijansa njeznije pigmentacije pa ce vam biti potrebna dva sloja kako bi postigli potpunu prekrivnost. A kada budete gotovi – dobiti cete efekat geliranih noktiju. Zaista prekrasna jesenja boja (iako ja ne mogu docekati jesen pa je i sada nosim).

Revelique High Shine Nail Polish in Dear Diary! (60) is an old favourite of mine. It's the first nude-ish shade Revelique had on offer and I love it to this day. This is not an obvious nude, it does have dusky rose undertones which compliment the skin wonderfully. Okay, it's more of a dusky rose than a standard nude but it has that same effect nude nail polishes usually have. It is so sophisticated, so unique and universally a flattering hue I believe most women would love dearly. This hue is also creamy, evenly applied, dries quickly (within 2-3 minutes) and lasts for four days (they all do with the exception of Venus, that one lasts for three days). I think darker tan would rock this hue like it's nobody's business while fair skin tones would seem delicate due to the dusky rose tone (looks great with pink skin undertones). All Revelique High Shine Nail Polishes are free from Formaldehyde, Toluene and DBP. They can also be used on artificial nails. You get 8ml per bottle (their bottles look very cute) and they cost 4,5$ a piece.

Revelique High Shine lak za nokte u nijansi Dear Diary! (60) je moj visemjesecni favorit. Ovo je prva nijansa koja slici boji koze koju je Revelique imao u ponudi a meni je sve do danas iznimno draga. Ruku na srce, ovo nije u pravom smislu boja koze. Dosta sadrzi “prljavo ruzicastu” nijansu koja prekrasno djeluje na rukama. Uredu, priznajem da vise naginje ka toj prljavo ruzicastoj nego bez boji ali na noktima mi pruza isti efekat kao lak boje koze. Sofisticirana je, originalna i univerzalna boja za koju smatram da ce vecini zena da se svidi. I ovu nijansu laka krasi divna kremasta tekstura, jednako nanosenje, brzo susenje (u roku 2-3 minute) i traje danima (svi traju cetiri dana, osim Venus nijanse koja traje tri dana na noktima). Niti jedan Revelique High Shine lak za nokte ne sadrzi formaldehide, toluen niti DBP. Pogodni su za koristenje i na vjestackim noktima. U svakoj bocici se nalazi 8ml laka za nokte (bocice su mi jako simpaticne) i kostaju 6,85KM u odabranim cm trgovinama sirom BiH.
