Specifications
I've been eyeing Pro Laki for ages, but I finally got to try them out this year. And let me tell you, it took me a while to wrap my head around their collections. Gel Lacquer and Gel Lacquer mini are two completely different collections that don't duplicate each other, but I managed to find a decent one in their lineup.
Value for money
I picked this up on Ozon in the "Podruga" store for 220 rubles. In the "Podruga" stores, it's usually cheaper. I think that's a pretty sweet deal.
Build quality
The packaging is these nice, heavy glass bottles with a convenient lid. They store really well thanks to their cubic shape, which makes them easy to stack.
The brush is a bit short, but it's flat and has a half-round edge. I think it's a bit too springy, even stiff, but it's easy to get used to once you get the hang of it.
The bottle volume is 10.5 ml, which is pretty standard for nail polish.
Country of origin: France, which is always a plus in my book.
Shade 40
This is a stunning pale blue mist with a cool blue microglitter finish. I was a bit skeptical about the color at first, but it's really grown on me. It's got a beautiful, ethereal quality to it.
The polish applies perfectly, it's almost not streaky at all, although I was expecting it to be a bit streaky given its light color. But no, it's great. It lays down smoothly, even in 2-3 coats on a base coat. It dries a bit slowly, but a top coat fixes that issue.
The polish looks amazing! It's light, airy, a bit sparkly, but unfortunately, the blue undertone doesn't show up on the nails. I really loved this polish under a matte top coat with a light purple glitter, though.
It wears really well, not noticeable in its flaws. It's also easy to remove, which is always a bonus.
Ethics-wise
I was a bit skeptical about the lack of certifications, but they claim to be ethical. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Verdict
This is a great option when you want a specific color but don't want to break the bank. For 200 rubles, the polish quality is surprisingly good, so I'll definitely be picking up some of the more unique shades.
