China Glaze Stroll and comparison with BB Couture Napa Valley Red

I have ChG Stroll for a very short time and I just don't know how could I exist without it! It's such an amazing colour! Firstly I thought it will be more berry, then that it is BB Couture Napa Valley Red dupe but neither of it.
Stroll is from Retro Diva collection for fall 2009. The coulour is deep burgundy with golden glitter. But it is not traditional glitter, this one if much finer however the removing was still pain :-/  I've used two coats but three would be much better as this polish is not fully opaque. Drying time was quite good, average I would say. I am also big fan of China Glaze brushes, it is pleasure to work with :)

Comparison between ChG Stroll and BB Couture Napa Valley Red
*Product was send to me by company for a review.

ChG Stroll mam jen velmi kratkou dobu a nechapu, jak jsem bez nej mohla zit! Je to naprosto uchvatna barva! Nejdriv jsem si myslela, ze na nehtu bude vic do barvy lesniho ovoce, pak ze je to dvojce BB Couture Napa Valley Red, ale neni ani jedno.

Stroll je z Retro Diva kolekce pro podzim 2009. Barvicka by se dala popsat jako tmava vinove cervena se zlatymi glitriky. Glitry jsou ale mnohem mensi a jemnejsi, presto bylo odklakovavani docela neprijemne :-/ Na obrazcich mam dve vrstvy, ale tri by byly asi mnohem lepsi, protoze lak neni plne kryci. Schnul celkem dobre, rekla bych tak prumer. Jsem docela velky fanousek stetecku ChG, moc dobre se mi s nimi pracuje :)

Ciaté Paint Pots -Talent Scout (Festival Fever Collection)

I got my hands on a Ciaté Talent Scout from the new Festival Fever collection. It is cool darks purple cream. This is actually the first polish from Ciaté I have ever tried and it just has the cutest bottle ever! Black bow, round black and white sticker and long black handle.

Formula of the polish was really nice. Good coverage without streaks, not too watery, not too thick. Maybe you could go with just one coat however I've used two as I do it always :) Drying time was a bit longer but nothing that Seche Vite would not solve. I liked to work with the brush - as you can see in the pics, I managed to paint nails nicely with it.

The bottle costs £9 and it is 13.5 ml. It is not one of the cheapest nail polish brands but I guess it's because of the nice bow and bottle design and Formaldehyde and Toluene free formula. I've got one more shade to show you and I definately want to try more shades in the future and maybe hand or foot care too.

Dostal se mi do rukou lak znacky Ciaté v odstinu talent Scout z letosni Festival Fever kolekce. Je to tmave fialova kremovka. Tohle je uplne prvni lak, ktery jsem kdy od teto znacky vyzkousela a ma proste tu nejroztomilejsi lahvicku! Cerna maslicka, ovalna cerno-bila nalepka a dlouha cerna rukojet-krasne elegantni.

S lakem se mi moc dobre pracovalo. Dobre kryje bez pruhovani a neni ani moc vodovy ani moc husty. Mozna by nekomu stacila jen jedna vrstva,ale ja uz ze zvyku dala dve. Se schnutim to bylo trosku horsi, ale zase nic, co by nevyresil Seche Vite. Se stetcem se byla taky jedna basen pracovat - jak je videt na fotkach,tak se mi s nim podarilo krasne a ciste namalovat nehtiky.

Jedna lahvicka stoji £9 a je 13.5 ml. Neni to zrovna ten nejlevnejsi lak, ale hadam,ze cena proste zahrnuje i maslicku, pekny design a fakt, ze lak je bez Formaldehydu a Toluenu. Jeste mam jeden odstin, ktery vam ukazu pozdeji, ale urcite jich chci v budoucnu zkusit vic a taky mozna jejich peci o ruce a nohy.
