Ciao a tutti!
Il post di oggi è un po’ un teaser, dato che lo smalto che vi mostrerò è quasi impossibile da reperire per chiunque di noi. Si tratta infatti di una marca brasiliana, e si sa, loro gli olografici li san fare proprio bene. Tant’è che bazzicando Flickr, dove le brasiliane sono tante, la mia wishlist di smalti locali si allunga sempre. Per fortuna ho un’amica che gentilmente mi fa da spacciatrice :D
Proprio su Flickr mi sono imbattuta in una foto dello smalto Koloss holográfico Água Marinha, un bellissimo olografico di tipo scattered di un colore che davvero ricorda l’acqua del mare di certi atolli tropicali! E’ senza dubbio un bellissimo azzurro, ma con una goccia di verde che gli dona una sua unicità.
Ma veniamo alle note dolenti! Il pennello della mia boccetta è un disastro, e non so dirvi se sia fallato o se siano tutti così di bassa qualità. Anche la formulazione è da incubo, molto denso e difficile da stendere, ho provato anche ad aggiungere qualche goccia di thinner, ma non è servito.
Hi everyone!
Today’s post is kind of a teaser, because I’m gonna show you a nail polish that is hardly available for any of us. It’s a Brasilian brand, and you know they make great holos. I like browsing Flickr and there are a lot of Brazilian ladies there, that’s where my wishlist gets longer and longer. Fortunately I have a good friend who helps me out!
It’s on Flickr that I stumbled upon Koloss holográfico Água Marinha, a lovely scattered holographic nail polish that reminds me of some tropical seas. It’s a medium blue with a drop of green that makes it quite different from usual.
Let’s talk formula though, a nightmare! First of all the brush was really bad, I am not sure if it was flawed or if all of them are that cheap. Nail polish itself is very thick and hard to paint, I added some thinner, too, but it didn’t help.
Riassumendo? Un vero peccato! Nonostante il colore sia bellissimo non vale la pena faticare in questo modo per stendere uno smalto! Insomma, i portafogli e la wishlist sono salvi, non dovete impazzire a cercarlo!
A parte tutti i lati negativi cosa ne pensate dell’effetto finale?
In the end I can call it a failure. Even though the colour itself is awesome it’s really not worth the hassle. The good point is that your wishlist is safe!
Aside from all the cons how do you like its look?

ReplyDeletePurtroppo :(
DeleteIt is so pretty and summery.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vedrana!
DeleteOhwww....I am loving it! <3
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a holographic Pupa a bit.
ReplyDeleteIt might! I should check that one, I have got it.
Deleteto bad for the formula because it's awesome
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately have to agree!
DeleteBrazilian holo nail polishes can be so fantastic and this one makes no exception!
ReplyDeleteI agree Andrea!
Deletebummer that it was thick and you had to add thinner but it is a gorgeous shade!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheyenne!
Deletethis is like a holo version of my bedroom walls. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat must look beautiful!
DeleteAs a Brazilian myself, I envy you for getting one of these holos! They're hard to find here!
ReplyDeleteI own two cremes of this brand and their formula and brush are excellent. You probably got unlucky with this one.
However, the color is awesome and the application looks flawless!
Really? I had no idea they were hard to find! I think I have two more of these holos and I will now check if they are better! Thank you so much for letting me know yours are good!
DeleteYikes, too bad it was a fail! It does look beautiful in your swatches though. Also, I have this odd fascination with hard to find beauty products in general, so this post was right up my alley ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Anastasia! I'm glad you appreciated seeing something from faraway!
DeleteIt's a shame this was so hard to apply and deal with. It looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate! It was a shame indeed :(
DeleteI like the colour, perfect for winter!
ReplyDeleteThank you Léanie! I'd better wear it in summer though!
DeleteOh my gosh it's gorgeous! That's such a downer about the application issues though :(
ReplyDeleteBig big shame Katherine!
DeleteThat holo is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann!
DeleteAhhh too bad about all the cons, because it sure is a beautiful shade! But no, it is not worth the hassle... Really too bad....
ReplyDeleteYeah, so not worth it unfortunately.
DeleteSapevo di farmi male aprendo questo post ma non potevo farne a meno :D Spero di ricordarmi dei lati negativi, ma vedendo solo le tue foto è bellissimo e mi piacerebbe molto averlo
ReplyDeleteNon ne vale proprio la pena :(
DeletePeccato per i difetti, il risultato finale è meraviglioso! :-)
