Manhattan Liquid Metals 101z


Manhattan Liquid Metals je bila ograničena kolekcija Manhattan kozmetike iz 2011. godine, a do ovog laka sam došla preko sajta Moje krpice. Mada sam ga kupila sa namerom da ga koristim samo za pečatiranje (i u toj ulozi mi se pokazao odlično) morala sam ga probati i samog.


Manhattan Liquid Metals was limited edition collection from 2011. I managed to get this polish through local second hand goods website, which I've found to be a good resource for polishes that aren't available in Serbia. I got this one with the intention to use it as a stamping polish (and it turned out to be a great polish from stamping), but I had to try it on its own as well.


Manhattan Liquid Metals 101z (divnog li imena) je srebrni lak pun šimera u kome se, nažalost, vide tragovi četkice. Sjaj i celokupan izgled mu je plastičan i podseća na lakove iz osamdesetih i devedesetih, a ne na nešto iz 21. veka. Prilično je gust i pigmentisan, što ga čini odličnim lakom za pečatiranje, ali ne i dobrim lakom za samostalno nošenje. Verovatno bi bio okej kao podloga za nail art ili šljokice. Ima na tržištu dovoljno srebrnih lakova koji se mogu nositi zasebno, ovaj nije jedan od njih. Za kraj sam ga dopunila motivom sa MoYou nails pločice 117, a pečatirala sam Essence Inkheart lakom iz Love Letters kolekcije.


Manhattan Liquid Metals 101z (what a lovely name) is silver polish filled with shimmer that, sadly, shows brushtrokes. Its gloss and overall look is plastic and resembles polishes from eighties and nineties, it doesn't look as if it was made in 21st century. It is quite thick and pigmented, which makes it a perfect stamping polish, but not a good polish to be worn on its own. It would probably be okay as base for nail art or glitter. There are many good silver polishes out there on the market, this just isn't one of them. I decided to stamp over it using Essence Inkheart polish from Love Letters collection and MoYou Nails 117 image plate.

  1. You are right, it has that vintage feel - I think I almost can see how good it is for stamping!

  2. Deluje dobro, iako su štrafte od četkica prilično vidljive. Sviđa mi se ideja za pečatiranje, obožavam crno bele kockice.

    1. I ja volim crno-bele kvadratiće, ali pošto sam to radila u nekoliko navrata htela sam da malo ublažim efekat.

  3. I don't like very much metallic effect polishes, I usually use them for stamping, but with the stamped tips it looks quite nice!

    1. Thanks. I love metallic polishes, but not pearlescent like this one.

  4. meni tragovi četkice kod metalik lakova nekako uopšte ne smetaju, sem ako nije bašbaš izraženo, imam neki čudan kriterijum za lepotu :D tako da, i ovaj mi je prelep

    1. Da je ovaj manje plastičan manje bi mi smetali ti tragovi.

  5. Previše frosty za moj ukus, ali je osnovna boja lepa. Mene Manhattan lakovi uvek podsete na devedesete kada se naveliko šopingovalo u Mađarskoj. hehe

    1. Ne ponovilo se, ali izgleda da se ponavlja :(
