Valentine's Day Dotticure

Nekoliko zadnjih postova odnosilo se najviše na swatcheve lakova, pa mi je ovo Valentinovo dobro došlo da se malo posvetim nail art-u i da nosim "slatke" manikire sa srcima, iako nisam osoba koja ga slavi. Imala sam par kombinacija u glavi, ali sam znala da sve zajedno mora da izgleda nježno, slatko i naravno da bude u pastelnim bojama. U te svrhe mi je odlično poslužio Astor Fashion Studio 134, divna pastelna boja lavande, koju sam nedavno dobila na poklon...

The last few posts on blog referred to nail polish swatches, so I used this upcoming Valentine's Day for some nail art inspiration and wearing "cute" heart manicures, even though I'm not the kind of person who celebrates it :). I had few combinations on my mind, but I knew it had to look cute, gentle and pastel. Astor Fashion Studio 134 I recently got as a gift served as a perfect base for the design. It's a lovely lavender shade...

Butterflies

U zadnjem paketiću koji sam dobila sa KKCenterhk bili su i ovi preslatki leptirići koje ćete moći vidjeti u nastavku posta.  Leptirići su zapravo vodene naljepnice koje sam izabrala jer sam bila jako zadovoljna prethodnim koje sam vam pokazala u ovom postu, a evo kako sam ih iskombinovala...

In the last package I received from KKCenterhk were these cute little butterflies which you can see  in the post below. Butterflies are actually water decals which I choose because I was very satisfied with the ones from this post. Here's how I combined them...

Poinsettia Nails

Iako je moj Božić tek za petnaestak dana, povukla me božićna atmosfera na brojnim blogovima koje pratim pa je današnji manikir potpuno u prazničnom duhu. Nešto što sam jako dugo htjela uraditi, ali mi je uvijek nedostajalo ili vremena, ili nisam imala odgovarajuci lak/pribor...

Danas su se kockice konačno složile, pa evo mojih Božićnih zvijezdica...

Even though my Christmas is for fifteen days, I've been affected by atmosphere all over the nail blogs I follow so the manicure I'll show you today is entirely in the holiday spirit. It's something I wanted to do for a long time, but I always lacked the time, or didn't have the polish/accessories I needed...

Today, all the pieces finally got together, and here are my Poinsettia nails...
  

Matching Manicures - Snow

Ovosedmični izazov u Matching Manicures - Balkan Beauty Bloggers grupi bio je snijeg na noktima. Nikako nisam htjela da preskočim ovu temu, i iako je nedelja zapravo prošla prije dva sata želim da vam pokažem moju interpretaciju...

This week's challenge in Matching Manicures - Balkan Beauty Bloggers group was snow on nails. I absolutely didn't want to miss this theme, and even though Sunday actually passed two hours ago I want to show you my interpretation...
 

Flormar Glitter GL09

Flormar Glitter GL09 je jedan od novih članova moje kolekcije koji je strpljivo čekao da mi se nokti oporave kako bih mogla da ga pokažem u punom sjaju :)

Kako je riječ o jednom od onih lakova koji se sastoje samo od glitera, ja sam ga koristila kao nadlak. Za podlogu sam odabrala crnu boju jer imam tu neku čudnu naviku da prvi put kada lakiram lakove ovog tipa, moraju na noktima da izgledaju što sličnije onome u bočici :)

Flormar Glitter GL09 is one of the new members of my collection which patiently waited for my nails to recover so I could show it in all its glory :)

As this is one of those varnishes that consist only of glitter, I used it as a top coat. For the base color I chose black. I though that in that way it will look as it looks in the bottle. 

Matching Manicures - Skittlette

Ove nedelje sam se odlučila da radim tematski manikir sa djevojkama iz Facebook grupe Matching Manicures - Balkan Beauty Bloggers. Tema je bila skittlette, koji sam nedavno radila i bilo mi je jako zabavno pa sam iskoristila priliku da ponovim :)

This Sunday I decided to do matching manicure with girls from our Facebook group Matching Manicures - Balkan Beauty Bloggers. The theme was skittlette, which I recently did and had so much fun wearing it, so I used this opportunity to repeat it :)

Neon Orange Studs

U zadnjem paketiću koji sam dobila od KKCenterHK su bile i narandžaste neon nitne NNAIL-DRN773 zbog kojih ću nakratko da podsjetim i sebe i vas na neke ljetne boje. Čim sam ih vidjela imala sam ideju na koji način da ih iskombinujem...

In the last package I received from KKCenterHK where these neon orange nail studs NNAIL-DRN773  for which I will briefly remind us to some summer colors. As soon as I saw these studs I had an idea how to combine them...

Golden Rose Carnival 08

Golden Rose Carnival je jedna od novijih kolekcija ove kozmetičke kuće. Izašla je prije par mjeseci, a čini je 16 nijansi koje se sastoje od mat i pastelnog glitera različitih veličina i oblika u providnoj bazi. Dolaze u istim bočicama kao i Rich Color lakovi, i na moju veliku radost imaju i onu istu široku četkicu koju bih ja najradije stavila u sve lakove koje imam :). U bočici ima 11 ml, a cijena im je (u Banjaluci) oko 3 KM (1,5 EUR).

Ja ću vam danas predstaviti nijansu 08, koja je ujedno i jedina koju za sada imam iz ove kolekcije. 

Carnival is one of the latest collections by Golden Rose. It's released a few months ago, and it's made of 16 shades with  various size and shape matte and pastel glitters in a clear base. They come in the same bottles as the Rich Color lacquers, and to my great pleasure they have that same wide brush that I would prefer to put in all the nail polishes I have :). Bottle contains 11 ml, and the price is about 1,5 EUR.

Today I'm going to show you shade No. 08 which is, so far, only one I have from this collection.

Romantic Skittlette Manicure

Skoro dva mjeseca su prošla od zadnjeg posta. Vjerovatno ste već zaboravili da ovaj blog postoji, ali evo vratila sam se da vas podsjetim :)...

Ono što ćete danas vidjeti na mojim, krečenjem i farbanjem iscrpljenim, ultra kratkim noktima je skittlette manikir. To je zapravo varijacija na Skittle manikir u kojem se svaki nokat lakira drugačijom bojom, inspirisan Skittle bombonama. Skittlette manikir treba da ima najmanje dva isto nalakirana nokta, a čitav dizajn bi trebao da čini nekakvu smislenu cjelinu. Najčešće palac i mali prst čine jedan par, srednji i prstenjak drugi a kažiprst je različit. S tim da bi i on trebao da ima nešto zajedničko sa jednim od parova. Ovo su, naravno, samo savjeti za lakše uklapanje koje možete i ne morate da poštujete prilikom izrade.

Evo kako sam ja to uradila...

Almost two months have passed since my last post. You have probably forgotten about this blog, but I'm back to remind you :)...

Today I'm showing you my very first skittlette manicure. It's actually a variation to Skittle manicure in which every nail is painted with different color, inspired by Skittle sweets.  Skittlette should have at least two same nails, and the whole design should make sense in some way. Most often thumb and little finger are one pair, ring and middle are second pair and the index finger is different. But, it should have something in common with some of the pairs. Of course, these are just guidelines and it's up to you will you follow them or not. 

Here is how I did it...

Matching Manicure with Art of Beauty

Današnji post će biti malo drugačiji nego inače. Naime, Dž. sa bloga My Happy Nails je došla na ideju da se svake sedmice rade matching manikiri u paru. Za sada je dogovoreno tako da se sve prijavljene blogerice putem random.org-a podijele na parove, a zatim međusobno dogovore oko teme, boja, tehnika itd. za svoj manikir.

Ove sedmice moj par za matching manikir je autorica bloga Art of Beauty. Nas dvije smo za temu odabrale vodu, a boje koje smo koristile smo ograničile na plavu, bijelu i srebrnu. Što se tiče tehnike, tu smo ostavile slobodu izbora kako bi imale mogućnost različite interpretacije zadatog pojma.

Evo moje verzije...

Today's post will be a bit different than usual. Dz. from the blog My Happy Nails came up with the idea that every week we should do matching manicures in pairs. For now, it was agreed so that all bloggers who enter  split into pairs via random.org , and then agree with each other on the theme, colors, techniques, etc.

 

This week my matching manicure partner is the author of the Art of Beauty blog. The two of us agreed that the theme for this week will be water, and the colors we should use are limited to blue, white and silver. We didn't precisely the technique in order to have the possibility of different interpretations of the theme.

Here's my version... 

Playing with striping tape

Kao što i sam naslov kaže, danas ću vam pokazati moje igrarije sa nekoliko lakova i samoljepljivim trakicama za nokte. U pitanju je jedan od onih manikira koji nisu komplikovani, ali zahtjevaju puno vremena, strpljenja i mirnu ruku. Međutim, kada se ti svi uslovi ispune, rezultati ne izostaju. Nisu ni ovaj put, i iskreno jedva čekam da vam pokažem kako to sve izgleda pa evo fotografije...

As the title says, today I'm going to show you some of my playings with few nail polishes and nail art striping tape. It's one of those manicures that are not complicated but requires a lot of time, patience and a steady hand. And when all these conditions are fulfilled, the results will not fail. This time they didn't either, and frankly I can't wait to show you how it all looks so here are the pics...

Stud nail art

Već duži vremenski period nisam radila nikakav "nail art". Uglavnom sam brzinski lakirala nokte nekim već viđenim nijansama i nosila po nekoliko dana, sve dok ne moram skinuti.

Ali evo, uhvatila sam malo vremena za igranje sa noktima i taman iskoristila priliku da probam nitne koje sam nedavno dobila sa KKCenterhk (klik) online prodavnice.

Evo šta sam iskombinovala...

For a long time I didn't do any nail art. I mostly painted my nails with some shades you have already seen.

But, I caught some time to play with my nails and just took the opportunity to try out the studs I recently got from KKCenterhk (click) online store.

Here is my combination...

Aura Lux Glitter - Shade Queen

U prošlom postu sam spomenula novitete među lakovima, a danas ću vam pokazati jednog od njih. Radi se o Aura Lux Glitter laku u nijansi 53 Shade Queen. Lux Glitter kolekcija lakova se sastoji od osam nijansi. Ja nisam imala priliku da biram izmedju svih osam, a od ponuđenih nijansi najzanimljivija mi je bila upravo Shade Queen.

In my last post I mentioned some novelties among nail polishes I own. Today I'll show you one of them. It's Aura Lux Glitter nail polish in shade 53 Shade Queen. The Lux Glitter collection consists of eight shades. I didn't have an opportunity to choose between all eight, but from the offered shades Shade Queen was the most interesting to me.

Striping Tape Manicure

Ranije sam spominjala kako sam kupila trakice za nail art, a prvi pokušaj sa njima ste mogli da vidite u ovom postu. Naravno, desio se još jedan pokušaj i to sa nešto više trakica nego prošli put...

I have previously mentioned that I bought striping tape for nail art, and you could see my first attempt with them in this post. Of course, I had to try again. This time I used more stripes than the last time...

Flormar 394

Flormar 394 je definitivno jedan od "must have" lakova iz Flormar asortimana. Jedan od onih za koje nije baš lako naći zamjenu kod drugih brendova. Ja ga imam već par godina i obično ga koristim preko nekog laka ili za nail art. Ali, ovaj put sam se odlučila da ga nosim samostalno jer bi bilo šteta da takvu ljepotu ne podijelim sa vama prije nego ga potrošim :). 

Flormar 394 is definitely one of the "must have" varnishes from Flormar assortment. One of those for which is not very easy to find a replacement with other brands. I have it for a few years and I usually use it for layering or nail art. But, this time I wanted to wear it on its own because it would be really shame not to show you this beauty before bottle goes empty :). 

No name manicure

Kao što naslov kaže, manikir koji ćete danas vidjeti nema naziv a i nije baš uobičajen. Nastao je u nekim mojim momentima kada eksperimentišem sa lakovima pa mi svaki nokat izgleda drugačije :).

Pošto sam jako zadovoljna i nestrpljiva da vam pokažem rezultate, odmah ću preći na slike...

As the title says, manicure that you will see today has no name and it's not very common. It was created in one of those moments when I'm experimenting with varnishes, and when every single nail looks totally different :).

Since I'm very satisfied with the result I can't wait to show you pictures, here they are...

Coral nails with gold sparkles

Kombinacija koju trenutno imam na noktima spada u one koje se lako i brzo urade, a izgledaju vrlo efektno i kao da je uloženo puno više truda nego što jeste. Kako sam u zadnje vrijeme opsjednuta šljokičastim lakovima, ni ovaj post nije mogao proći bez njih pa sam iz kutije izvukla svoj Essence-Make it golden lak. Već sam imala zamišljenu kombinaciju u glavi i trebalo je samo naći odgovarajuću boju za podlogu. Nakon nekog vremena i nekolicine isprobanih kombinacija, izbor je pao na Flormar Supershine 04 (swatch). 

Evo i kako sam iskombinovala ta dva laka...

Manicure I'm wearing today is one of those very simple to do, but very effective on nails. Since lately I'm really obsessed with glitter polishes I pulled my Essence-Make it golden from the nail polish box. I already knew what kind of manicure it should be, and I had to find adequate base color. After a while I chose beautiful coral shade - Flormar Supershine 04 (swatch). 

Here's the result...

Dark green

Lak koji ću vam danas pokazati je dio Flormar Spring & Summer 2012 kolekcije i imam ga već nekoliko mjeseci. Razlog zbog kojeg ovaj lak nisam nosila ranije je njegova boja koja me asocira na zimu i praznike, i mislim da ovakvim nijansama nije mjesto u proljetnim i ljetnim kolekcijama...

Riječ je o tamnoj smaragdno zelenoj nijansi sa sitnim zlatnim i plavim šljokicama koje se na žalost ne vide na noktima. 

Kao i svi ostali Flormar lakovi ni ovaj nema imena, ali zato ima broj 435 :). Iskreno se nadam da će se to jednom promijeniti.

The polish I will show you today is part of the Flormar Spring & Summer 2012 collection, and I have it for a few months. Reason for not wearing this polish earlier is its color that reminds me of winter and holidays, and I think this kind of shades are not appropriate for spring and summer collections...

It's a dark green shade with gold and blue micro shimmer almost invisible on nails. Like all other Flormar polishes it has very creative name 435 :). I honestly believe that one day these beauties will have names.

Black framed nails

Ovaj manikir sam zapravo htjela uraditi za jednu priliku prije mjesec dana, ali tada su stigli Jolly Jewels lakovi pa je sve ostalo zanemareno. Kao što piše u naslovu radi se o framed (uokvirenim, uramljenim) noktima. Radila sam ih i prije par mjeseci, samo na malo drugačiji način (link).

Za razliku od prethodnih, sada su uokvireni tačkicama a evo i kako izgledaju...

I was planning to do this manicure a month ago, but then Jolly Jewels polishes showed up and everything else went to a waiting list. As the title says, today's post is about framed nails. I did the framed nails a couple months ago too, only in a bit different way (link). 

Unlike the previous, they're framed with dots now and here is how they look like...

Girly nails

Iskreno se nadam da vam nisam dosadila sa Jolly Jewels lakovima jer moja oduševljenost još uvijek traje i otkad sam ih kupila drugi lakovi kao da ne postoje :).

Danas ću vam pokazati kako sam iskombinovala jedan od najpopularnijih lakova iz kolekcije. Mislim da već znate da se radi o broju 115...

I sincerely hope that you didn't get bored with the Jolly Jewels swatches and pictures, because I'm so in love with them right now that there was no other polish on my nails since I bought them :).

Today I'll show you how I combined one of the most popular shades from this collection. I think you already know it's a 115...
