Animal print skittlette manicure

Zadnjih par dana sam baš raspoložena za nail art, pogotovo onaj brzinski gdje nema puno čekanja, sušenja slojeva itd., pa sam se odlučila na jedan skittlette manikir čija je tema životinjski uzorak.

Ovaj put sam odabrala kombinaciju nude/bež i smeđe boje, slično pravom leopardu. I malo zlata, jer jedno bez drugog ne ide :D.

ENG: Last couple of days I'm in some kind of nail art mood, especially when it comes to quick, no waiting, layer drying methods, so I decided to make one animal print themed skittlette manicure.

This time I chose nude/beige and brown colors, just like the real leopard. And a hint of gold, because they can't go separately :D

Textured gradient nails

Nakon jako duge pauze, koja se, eto, desila spletom raznim prilika, neprilika, okolnosti, nedostatka volje, inspiracije, vremena, snage itd..., vraćam se sa oporavljenim noktima i jednim manikirom koji sam već neko vrijeme htjela napraviti.

Pošto mene još uvijek drži groznica teksturisanih lakova, naročito onih ljetnih/vedrih nijansi, evo šta sam iskombinovala sa par omiljenih iz Golden Rose Holiday kolekcije (75, 61 i 83) i komadićem spužve :)

ENG: After a very long break that happened due to various circumstances, lack of will, inspiration, energy, etc...., I'm coming back with recovered nails and interesting gradient manicure I wanted to do for a while.

Since the textured nail polish mania still didn't let me go, especially when it comes to summer/bright colors, here's how I combined I few my favorite ones from the Golden Rose Holiday collection (75, 61 and 83) using a little piece of sponge :)

Essence Hello Foils - 01 Hello Flashy!

Nedavno sam od kompanije Ovnak Vitez d.o.o na recenziju dobila paketić sa Essence i Catrice novitetima za jesen/zimu 2014. Naravno, svi proizvodi su namjenjeni noktima, i u narednih nekoliko postova ćete ih moći vidjeti, a ono što ću vam prvo predstaviti je Essence transfer folija 01 Hello Flashy! 

ENG: A few days ago Ovnak Vitez company sent me some Essence and Catrice products for review purposes. Of course, all the products are nail related and they are part of the autumn/winter product update for this year.  You'll see all the products in my future posts, but the first one I'm going to show you is Essence transfer foil 01 Hello Flashy!

Golden Rose Holiday 75

U svojoj kolekciji nemam baš mnogo neon pink lakova, a nije da ih ne volim :). Razlog je to što su većinom rijetki i što im za potpuno pokrivanje treba najmanje 3 sloja, a sa tim dolazi i sporo sušenje i brzo pucanje laka.

Ali, kada sam vidjela da u Holiday kolekciji postoji takav jedan primjerak, koji je pritom teksturisan, znala sam da ga moram imati. Dakle, Golden Rose Holiday 75.

ENG: I don't have a lot of neon pink in my collection, and it's not that I don't like them :). I suppose the reason for that is that they often have a very thin consistency, so for full coverage you have to apply at least three coats. Also, they dry really slowly, considering the number of layers and at the very end they don't last long on nails.

But, when I saw that Holiday collection has a neon pink, which is, by the way, textured, I knew I had to have it. So, here is Golden Rose Holiday 75.

Golden Rose Holiday 61

U proteklom periodu sam malo zabušavala sa blogom, ali bilo je iz opravdanim razloga ;). Konačno sam se bacila na rješavanje par preostalih ispita na fakultetu, i taj dio svog života konačno privodim kraju. Sve ostalo, pa i blog, je moralo otići u drugi plan.

Ali, kako je ovo ipak mjesto gdje pričamo o lakovima i noktima, evo još jednog Golden Rose Holiday laka koji sam nosila prije nekih mjesec dana...

In the past month I've neglected my blog, but it was for a very good cause ;). I have finally decided to solve my few remaining exams and bring that part of my life to an end. All the other things, including blog, were on standby.
But, this is the place where we are talking about nail polish and nails, here's another Golden Rose Holiday nail polish I wore almost a month ago...

Golden Rose Holiday 84

Golden Rose Holiday 84 sam prvi put vidjela kod Jasmine na blogu i jako mi se dopala boja. Već znate da sam ljubitelj takvih lakova koji su prilično neutralni, pogodni za svaki dan...

Ova nijansa je baš takva, neutralna, nešto između sive i bež, potpuno mat. I naravno, teksturisana. 

ENG: Golden Rose Holiday 84 is nail polish I've seen for the first time on Jasmina's blog and I liked the color very much. If you are following me for some time, you could see that I really like nail polishes like this, neutral, suitable for every day occasions...

This shade is exactly like that, neutral, something between nude and gray, matte, and of course textured.

Golden Rose Holiday 83

O Golden Rose Holiday lakovima sam vam već pisala (klik). Kolekcija trenutno broji 40 različitih nijansi, a u zadnjoj dopuni prije nekoliko mjeseci stiglo je 9 novih. Jedna od tih devet je i ova koja ću vam danas pokazati. Broj 83.

ENG: I already wrote about Golden Rose Holiday nail polishes (click).  The collection currently includes 40 different shades, and in the last update a few months ago arrived 9 new shades. One of those new nine shades is also the one I'm going to show you today. No. 83.

Golden Rose Galaxy 14

Nadam se da vam nisu dosadili Galaxy lakovi, jer vam danas predstavljam poslednji od četiri nijanse koje sam dobila na recenziju u paketiću koji sam vam nedavno pokazala na Facebook stranici. Za razliku od prošlog, ovaj baš jeste po mom ukusu :). Ono što me je privuklo ovom ljepotanu pod brojem 14 je prvenstveno intenzivna ljubičasta boja, a zatim i klasična pješčana tekstura sa ponekim krupnim gliterom.

I hope you didn't get bored with Galaxy swatches, because today I'm presenting you the last one out of four  shades I got for review - No. 14. If you follow me on Facebook you could see all of the Golden Rose polishes that were in the package. Unlike the last nail polish I showed you, this one is my cup of tea :). I was attracted to it by its beautiful, intense purple color, and classic sand finish with large glitters.

Golden Rose Galaxy 13

Treći Golden Rose Galaxy lak koji vam predstavljam je broj 13. Možda jedini koji sam odabrala i malo se pokajala, jer nijansa nije baš po mom ukusu.

Lakovi iz Galaxy kolekcije od broja 10 do broja 15 spadaju u grupu lakova sa teksturisanom mat bazom i krupnim gliterom. U ovoj grupi se većinom nalaze takozvani "dupe" (djup) lakovi za neke od OPI Liquid Sand nijansi. Međutim, nijansa koju sam ja odabrala ima nedovoljno pigmentiranu bazu, koja da nije teksturisana bila bi jelly (poluprozirna, podsjeća na voćni žele ili marmeladu, odatle i naziv). A ja jelly lakove ne volim :)

The third Golden Rose Galaxy nail polish I'll show you is No. 13. Maybe the only one I chose and regretted a bit, because it's not my cup of tea.

Galaxy nail polishes from 10 to 15 are the ones with a textured matte base and large sparkly glitters. You can find some of the OPI Liquid Sand dupes among this few shades. The shade I chose is not very pigmented, and if it's not textured it would be jelly. And, I don't like jelly nail polishes :).

Golden Rose Galaxy 02

Prošli put sam vam pisala o Galaxy laku pod nijansom 21, a zvijezda ovog posta biće još jedan lak iz Galaxy kolekcije i to pod brojem 02. 

Lakovi iz ove kolekcije od broja 01 do 07 su lakovi koji imaju mat bazu i različite kombinacije glitera. Ovaj o kojem ću vam danas pisati ima prljavo roza/ljubičastu bazu i mješavinu sitnog šestougaonog glitera u srebrnoj boji, nešto krupnijeg, također šestougaonog zlatnog glitera i crnih šljokica  Srebrni i zlatni su holografski gliter, iako na prvi pogled tako ne izgledaju.

In my last post I wrote about Galaxy nail polish no. 21, and the main star of this post will be another Galaxy lacquer under No. 02.

Galaxy lacquers from 01 to07 are matte based and they contain various combinations of glitter. The one I will talk about today is dusty rose/lilac (maybe I could say clover) based with small hexagon silver, a bit larger gold (also hexagon) and black glitter. The silver and gold colored ones are actually holographic glitter, although they don't look that way on the first sight.

Golden Rose Galaxy 21

Galaxy je jedna od zadnjih Golden Rose kolekcija lakova, sastoji se od 36 različitih nijansi teksturisanih lakova koji iako spadaju u teksturisane prilično se razlikuju od onih iz Holiday kolekcije. Dakle ne radi se samo o hrapavoj teksturi, nego i o raznim kombinacijama glitera koji daju efekat pješčanog svjetlucanja. Kao da ste posuli gliter po noktima, i ne morate ga fiksirati nadlakom :).

Dolaze pakovani u okrugle bočice od 10,3 ml, i četkicama koje su dosta uže od onih u Rich Color i Holiday lakovima ali su i dalje jednostavne za rukovanje. 

Galaxy koji ćete danas vidjeti je onaj pod brojem 21...

Galaxy is one of the latest Golden Rose collections. It consists of 36 different textured nail polishes. But, they are not just textured like the ones from Holiday collection, they are made of a lot more glitter combinations which gives them that sparkly sand effect. It's like you sprinkled your nail with glitter and you don't have to seal it with top coat :)
They come in simple round bottles which contains 10, 3 ml of the product. The brush is narrower that the one in Rich Color and Holiday nail polishes but it still does a great work.
The Galaxy you'll see today is the one with number 21...

Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 123

Ovaj protekli period je, vjerujem, većini bio prilično težak... Ni ja nisam bila izuzetak, i iako je poplava zaobišla moju kuću, neke od bližih članova porodice nije, tako da nisam imala ni volje ni vremena da pišem postove.

Sada kada se sve polako vraća u normalu i nokti se oporavljaju od čišćenja, možemo nastaviti da pričamo o noktima, lakovima itd. ... 

Ali, prije nego što vam pokažem lak iz naslova, moram se "pohvaliti" da sam nedavno napisala saradnički post za jedan od najčitanijih blogova u BiH, MakeUp Arena, pa ukoliko vas zanima moja trenutna rutina njege noktiju zavirite u ovaj post (klik).

A sada malo o Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 123...

Last month was a pretty tough for the most of us, I believe... I was no exception, and although the flood spared my house, some of my family members didn't, so I didn't have time or will to write posts.
Now, when everything going back to normal and my nails are recovering from cleaning, we can talk about polishes...

And, before I show you nail polish from the title, I have to share with you that I wrote a post for one of the best beauty blogs in my country, Make Up Arena, so if you want to know how I'm taking care of my nails check out this post (click)... It's in Serbian language, but you can always use Google Translate ;)

And, about that Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 123...

Golden Rose Rich Color 44

Već odavno znate koliko volim Golden Rose Rich Color lakove i koliko sam zadovoljna kvalitetom, pakovanjem, cijenom, četkicom, itd...  Također, već sam spomenula da su to lakovi za kojima najčešće posežem kada su u pitanju brzinski manikiri a i nail art. Razlog za to je četkica koja omogućava vrlo lako nanošenje u samo par poteza pri čemu pravi savršen luk pri korijenu nokta, a i pigmentacija pojedinih nijansi.

A danas ću vam pokazati jednu mint nijansu, pod brojem 44...

You already know how much I love Golden Rose Rich Color nail polishes and how satisfied I am with their quality, bottle, price, brush, etc... I have also mentioned that those are nail polishes I use very frequently when it comes to fast manicure and nail art. The reason for that is amazing brush which provides the perfect application in only a few moves, and great pigmentation some of them have.

Today I'm going to show you mint shade called 44 :)...

Golden Rose Holiday 54

Danas ću vam pokazati još jedan tekturisani lak iz Golden Rose Holiday kolekcije. Riječ je o nijansi broj 54, koja je nešto drugačija od prethodne tri koje ste imali prilike vidjeti ovdje na blogu...

Drugačija je jer pored teksturisane baze sadrži i krupni gliter koji daje potpuno drugačiji izgled u poređenju sa ostalim.

Evo kako izgleda...

Today I'm going to show you another textured Golden Rose Holiday nail polish. It's shade called 54, which is a bit different than the previous three you could see on my blog...

It's different because it contains large glitter which gives this shade another dimension compared to the others I have.

Here is how it looks...

Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 120

Prateći razne kolekcije koje Golden Rose izbacuje u zadnje vrijeme, pomalo sam zanemarila jednu od mojih omiljenih - Jolly Jewels. Međutim, kada sam birala lakove za recenziju sa Makeup Arena web shopa, sjetila sam se da mi neki od ovih ljepotana već duže vrijeme stoje na listi želja.

Nijansa koju ću vam danas predstaviti je br. 120...

Lately, Golden Rose released a significant number of collections, so I kind of forgot about one of my favorites - Jolly Jewels. But, when I chose nail polishes from a Makeup Arena web shop I remembered that some of them were on my wish list for quite a while.

The shade I'm going to show you today is 120...

Black and Glitter Matte Nails

Za promjenu, danas imam jednu mat kombinaciju na noktima. Moram priznati da sam nekako zaboravila na mat nadlak koji imam, ali kako sam imala želju da probam novi crni lak Golden Rose Rich Color 35 i Golden Rose Sweet Color 49 učinilo mi se da će matirani biti pun pogodak...

For a change, today I'm wearing matte combination. I have to admit that I kind of forgot about the matte top coat I have, but since I wanted to try out my new black nail polish Golden Rose Rich Color 35 and Golden Rose Sweet Colo 49 I thought they would look great matted...

Golden Rose Rich Color 34

Već neko vrijeme je prošlo otkad vam nisam predstavila neku od Rich Color nijansi iz Golden Rose asortimana. Svi koji me prate duže vrijeme znaju koliko sam bila, i ostala, oduševljena ovom kolekcijom. Svaki put kada trebam neki brzinski manikir biram njih, što zbog pigmentacije, što zbog izuzetne četkice o kojoj sam već nekoliko puta govorila.
Danas nastavljam sa Rich Color lakovima, i to sa divnom nijansom broj 34...

It's been a while since I wrote about Rich Color varnishes from the Golden Rose assortment. All of you who has been following me for some time know how I was, and still am, delighted with this collection. Every time I need quick manicure, I chose them because of the pigmentation and the amazing brush. 

Today I'm moving on with Rich Color swatches with this beautiful shade under No.34...

Golden Rose Holiday 70

U proteklih mjesec dana pisala sam vam o dva Holiday laka (66 i 78), međutim oni su bili nekako više ljetni i prigodni tadašnjim vremenskim prilikama. A sada, kada su nam se zima i snijeg vratili, pravo je vrijeme za lakove poput Golden Rose Holiday 70. Ja najčešće nisam sklona dijeljenju lakova po godišnjim dobima, ali ovo je jednostavno jedan od onih koji asociraju na snijeg...

In the past month I wrote about two Golden Rose Holiday nail polishes (66 and 78), but they were kind of more spring/summer colors that fit with weather occasions back then. And now, when winter and snow came back, it's time for varnishes like Golden Rose Holiday 70. I'm usually not the person who classifies varnishes by seasons, but this is the one which simply reminds of snow...

Golden Rose Holiday 78

Drugi lak iz Golden Rose Holiday kolekcije koji ću vam pokazati je broj 78. Na prvi pogled nijansa mi je djelovala kao pastelna narandžasta sa raznobojnim sitnim shimmerom. Ali, na noktima izgleda dosta drugačije. Kao da je u pitanju drugi lak...

Pastelna boja iz bočice, na noktu se pretvara u jednu intenzivnu mat, skoro neon, narandžastu boju a shimmer misteriozno nestaje i pojavljuje se tek u vidu zlatnih čestica samo na vještačkom svjetlu. Baš kao pravi pjesak.

The second nail polish from a Golden Rose Holiday collection I'm going to show you is number 78. At the first sight it looked like a pastel orange with multicolored shimmer. But, on the nails, it looks totally different. As it was another nail polish...

Pastel from the bottle becomes intense matte, almost neon, orange color, and the shimmer shows up in the form of gold particles only in artificial light. Like the real sand.

Golden Rose Holiday 66

Jako je malo lakova koje imam a da su me oduševili kao ovaj koji ću vam danas pokazati. Iz naslova ste već mogli vidjeti da se radi o Golden Rose Holiday 66 laku, koji je dio kolekcije teksturisanih/pješčanih lakova. Holiday kolekcija je stara već nekoliko mjeseci, i za sada broji oko 40 nijansi. Dolaze u bočicama istim kao kod GR magnetnih lakova, ali im srebrni čep daje nešto elegantniji izgled. Sadrže 11,3 ml proizvoda i četkicu koja nije ona standardna metlasta a nije ni široka kao kod Rich Color lakova. U svakom slučaju, meni odlično radi posao pa nakon lakiranja nemam puno posla oko čišćenja.

There are a very few nail polishes I own that impressed me like the one I'm going to show you today. You could already see from the title that it's about Golden Rose Holiday 66, which is part of the textured/sand collection. Holiday collection is a few months old, and currently has about 40 different shades. Polishes come in the same bottles like GR Magnetic, but the silver cap gives them a bit more elegant look. Bottle contains 11,3 ml of the product and the brush that is not the standard one, but not as wide as in Rich Color varnishes.
Anyway, it makes the application very easy and leaves almost nothing to clean after painting.
