If you took a peek at my previous post, you'll note that I've mentioned coming back to bright nail polishes which is rather odd thing to do while we're at winter's doorstep. The things is, we're having a rather warm month so far and whilst I do have my plummy nail polish army at the ready – I really, really started craving something bright and happy on my nails. And that's just what I did, opting for the nail polish which instantly makes me happy just looking at it. This is not a new launch at all but I believe most China Glaze fans will remember this beaut. China Glaze High Hopes was I believe a spring collection from the year 2009. called Up & Away. I have lots of nail polishes from that collection actually – Lemon Fizz, Peachy Keen, Four Leaf Clover, Sugar High just to name a few. It was a beautiful nail polish collection and High Hopes must be one of my favorites.
Ukoliko ste bacile pogled na prethodni post, sjetiti cete se kako sam spomenula povratak ka lakovima za nokte zarkih nijansi, uslijed ovih toplih dana iako smo doslovno na pragu zime. Sve ima svoje prednosti, tako i ovaj topli novembar koji nas za sada pazi i mazi. Iako su sljivaste nijanse u mom slucaju bile u uzastopnoj rotaciji vec vise od mjesec dana te sam sakupila pravu malu vojsku kozmetike u tim tonovima – stvarno sam pozeljela da napravim mali kontrast veselim nijansama na noktima. I to sam upravo i ucinila, odlucujuci se za lak koji me cini instant sretnom i nasmijanom samo kada ga pogledam. Uopste se ne radi o laku iz neke od novijih kolekcija ali vjerujem da ce se ljubiteljice China Glaze lakova sjetiti ovog ljepotana. China Glaze High Hopes je vjerujem dio proljetne kolekcije iz 2009. godine pod nazivom Up & Away. Upravo iz te kolekcije posjedujem dosta lakova – Lemon Fizz, Peachy Keen, Four Leaf Clover, Sugar High samo su neki od njih. Zaista mi se dopadaju boje koje su sklopljene tom prilikom a High Hopes zasigurno zauzima posebno mjesto u mom srcu.
China Glaze High Hopes is of a unique color as it's generally a bight orange-red creme but it's not your classic orange-re or a summery coral either. It does sit somewhere in between as it's rather bright but not neon bright. It could be perfectly appropriate for summer, spring or if you're a rebel such as myself – you could actually pull it off throughout the year. I adore that it's shimmer free and it's a classic creme formula – very smooth, even and opaque. I usually do two thin coats for everyday wear but I had to throw in the third coat for you guys as sunlight and camera are not forgiving. I think High Hopes looks stunning on short, medium and long nails and on all nail shapes. It gives a really finished look which I've topped off with a black feathery nail sticker on my ring finger. Have you tried High Hopes? I'd love to hear which would be your favorite China Glaze nail polish or a general collection they have.
China Glaze High Hopes je lak uistinu unikatne boje posto bi ga generalno mogle svrstati u skupinu crvenkastih lakova narandzastog podtona ali – on ne spada ni u klasicne crveno-narandzaste nijanse ali niti u ljetne koralce. Nalazi se u sredini spektra jer je pri tome i dosta zarke nijanse ali nije neonac. Mogao bi biti savrseno prikladan kako za ljeto, tako i proljece ali mozete biti i buntovnik poput mene pa uzivati u njegovom drustvu tokom cijele godine. Jako mi se svidja sto ne sadrzi niti najmanji shimmer. Radi se i klasicnom creme (krem) finisu koji je iznimno sjajan, ugladjen, ujednacen i odlicne prekrivnosti. Obicno nanosim dva tanja sloja no za vas sam se posebno potrudila i nanijela treci sloj posto direktna sunceva svjetlost u kombinaciji sa ostrim objektivom ne oprasta greske. Mislim da High Hopes izgleda odlicno na kratkim ali i dugim noktima te svim njihovim oblicima. Pruza efekat dosta urednih i profesionalno nalakiranih noktica a za ovu priliku sam ga ukrasila naljepnicom crne peruske na domalom prstu. Ovaj lak, kao i ostale China Glaze lakove nabavljam preko Lilocosmetics Kakanj Facebook stranice – informacija koja ce biti korisna za citateljice iz BiH + lak kosta 7,50KM.
