Testing Art Deco stripers - flash - blitz
Today
the mailman brought six Art Deco stripers from L.A.Colors. They are my first of
this brand, but I found a “pick 6 colors” offer not too expensive on Ebay, so I
decided to give them a go.
My other
nail art brands are Art Club (and I really, really like them), CM LeChat (also
good) and some surprisingly OK ones with both pen and striper from China,
called Nail Star.
I
decided to choose four colors China Glaze as base to try the stripers out to
see how opaque and easy they are to work with. Left to right: Secret
Peri-wink-le, Sea Spray, White on White and Concrete Catwalk.
The Art
Deco stripers are against the center of the wheel and out: NA946 Tropical,
NA916 Forest Green, NA936 Flammin’, NA929 Dee-Lite, NA941 Lime Glitter, NA943
Rainbow Glitter.
Overall
impression: The brushes are not really nice to work with, they have too many
strands of hair and are a bit too long for my taste. On top of that the polish
is thin and runs down the stem and brush, so you have to be on guard all the
time if you want thin lines, and it tends to either smear or if very little on
the brush – dry out. I liked the creme colors the best, the glitters were
difficult to work with, the Rainbow Glitter was really difficult and the brush
was pretty wide, probably a mistake.
As for
their opaqueness, well the photos speak for themselves; Tropical was by far the
easiest to work with; am I going to buy again: No, I’m afraid not.
I dag kom posten med seks Art Deco nail art nelgelakker
fra L.A. Colors, som jeg ikke tidligere prøvet. Men jeg så et ”vælg 6 farver”
tilbud til en rimelig pris på Ebay, og jeg besluttede at afprøve dem.
De andre nail art farvemærker jeg bruger er min absolutte
favorit Art Club, men jeg har også et par gode fra CM LeChat og nogle
overraskende OK ved navn Nail Star fra Kina, der har både børste og pen
indbygget.
Jeg besluttede at vælge fire neglelakker, som jeg satte
på et neglehjul, for jeg ville afprøve hvor farvetætte de nye stripere er. Fra venstre mod højre er bundfarven
China Glaze: Secret Peri-wink-le, Sea Spray, White on White and Concrete
Catwalk.
Art Deco striperne er fra midten af hjulet og ud: NA946 Tropical,
NA916 Forest Green, NA936 Flammin’, NA929 Dee-Lite, NA941 Lime Glitter, NA943
Rainbow Glitter.
Helhedsindtryk: De indbyggede pensler er ikke gode at
arbejde med, de skulle være tyndere og lidt kortere, synes jeg. Derudover er
lakken tynd, den løber ned langs selve stammen og børsten, så man skal hele
tiden være meget på vagt, hvis man vil lave en super tynd streg, og den flyder
let ud, og hvis der er super lidt på børsten, så tørrer den hurtigt. Jeg kunne
bedst li’ at arbejde med cremefarverne, glitterfarverne var svære og Rainbow
Glitter var virkelig svær at arbejde med, dens børste var tillige endnu tykkere
(sikkert en fejl).
I love stripes,in any form:)The colors are nice,too bad they are not easy to work with:(
