Actually, I bought Essence nail art stamp plates, they were on sale so I came up to this idea. I don't have so much time, so I'll just explain how I did I get this. It is sponge nail art ( my older post ), on the top is  2 drops of Catrice Man, go tango and 1 drop of Golden Rose 317, in the middle is 22 What do you think? by Essence and at the bottom is Sunshine by Avon. Very simple.

Christmas! NOW!

Moja prijetaljica za ovu manikuru je rekla da ju podsjeća na Božić. Baza je Berry Shimmer od Bath & Body Works COLOR DROPS (nisam nikad čula za tu tvrtku, "guglala" sam i našla njihov katalog ali nisam mogla naći lakove u njemu.... Na bočici piše da je proizveden u New Albanyju, u Ohiu. Ne znam u čemu je stvar? Ako ima nekoga iz SAD-a molim da da komentar). To je vjerovatno najbolji lak koji sam ikad imala. Imam ga godinama, napola prazna bočica, i nije se još zgusnuo.
Ove šljokice, to je Golden rose Nail Art 120. Zlatni glitter. Na dnu je slika kako izgleda bočica od Berry Shimmer, s time da to u njoj nije ta nijasa. =)

 A friend of mine said this manicure reminded her of Christmas. This base is by Bath & Body Works  COLOR DROPS Berry Shimmer ( I have never heard about this company, I've "googled" and found out their catalog but I couldn't find nail polishes in it... On the bottle writes it is produced in New Albany, Ohio. So i don't know what's the point? If there is someone from USA please comment). This is probably the best nail polish I have ever had. I have had it for years, half empty bottle, and it didn't get dense.
 Anyway, this glitter is Golden rose Nail Art 120. Golden glitter. On the bottom is a photo how does it looks that Berry Shimmer's bottle, but it isn't Berry Shimmer in it. =)

The Next Evolution of Nail Polish: Texture

I copy-pasted this from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/pandora-young/nail-polish-texture

Nail polish continues to move past being merely a cosmetic decoration and into the realm of an artistic movement, this time with a host of unexpected textures and finishes. I'm particularly fond of the texture trend, because it delivers nail art in a bottle, making it both more convenient and less expensive than most other manicure artistry -- I'm looking at you, Minx.

Shatter Topcoat


The postmodern manicure! The shatter polish is applied like a regular topcoat, but as it dries it splits and crackles for an urban, gritty effect.

Tweed


The Jason Wu collection, created in collaboration with CND, features a special effects top coat that contains silk fragments. It gives the nails a fabric-like finish, resembling tweed or suede.

Rubber


The polishes of Orly's Plastix collection dry to a pleather-like finish, making nails look as though they've been coated in rubber.

Matte


Matte nail polish is arguably what started the trend of alternative finishes and textures. Chalkboard flat, it is the antithesis of the typical glossy nail.

Not shown but highly recommended are the kickass matte nail polishes from indie brand ManGlaze. Their selection includes a silver glitter matte called Hot Mess that looks almost like velvet and is impossible to photograph. I tried and failed.

What do you think about those nail polishes? Which one would you like to try? Have you tried one yet? =)

Look what have you done?!

Bilo je kasno navečer, kao i obično noć je vrijeme kada počinje "moje vrijeme". nalakirala sam nokte s Luxe Lavender od Avona, i počela gledati neke slike na internetu. Došla mi je ideja, ali bila sam , priznajem, umorna, pa sam odlučila učiniti nešto sutradan. Srećom, nisam ništa već učinila na noktima te večeri jer bih onda bila frustrirana jer ne mogu ništa napraviti preko toga a imam gomilu ideja. dakle, sutradan sam napravila ovo. Koristila sam Essence twins colour base 02 mr. big, Catrice Posion me, posion you!, S-he stylezone 306, i Golden Rose Nail Art 101. Za crtanje ovog cvijeta (trebao bi biti cvijet, iako izgleda kao zvijezda) koristila sam Golden Rose Nail Art 101, ali nisam bila zadovoljna, jer nisam mogla smiriti ruku i crtati pa sam odlučila pomoći si točkalicom i S-he 306. Rezultat? Jako neuredan cvijet koji liči na zvijezdu... =)

Essence twins colour base 02 mr. big, Catrice Posion me, posion you!, S-he stylezone 306, Golden Rose Nail Art 101, Luxe Lavender by Avon

It was late at night, as usually for me night is the time when starts "my time". I put Luxe Lavender by Avon on my nails, and started to watch some pics online. I came up to some idea, but I was a bit tired, I must addmit, so i decided to do it tomorrow. Luckily, I hadn't done anything on my nails yet that night, because I wolud be frustrated 'cause I can't do something over that and I have a bunch of ideas. So tomorrow I did this. I used Essence twins colour base 02 mr. big, Catrice Posion me, posion you!, S-he stylezone 306, and Golden Rose Nail Art 101. Well, for drawing this flower ( it should be a flower, even it looks like a star) I used Golden Rose Nail Art 101, but i wasn't satisfied, because I couldn't calm my hand and draw, so i decided to help myself with nail dotter and S-he 306. Result? A really messy flower looking like a star... =)

Sponge nail art

Ovo mi je prvi rad sa spužvicom i veoma sam zadovoljna kako izgleda. Ali nisam zadovoljna svojom kamerom stoga stavljam dvije slike. Koristila sam Catrice Posion me, posion you! za vrh noktiju, Mystic iz Avona (mislim da ga nema više za nabaviti, inače mi je to jedna od omiljenih nijansi iz Avona) samo za načiniti malo sjene i posvijetljivanje/ublažavanje ljubičaste. Dobro je jer je Mystic nešto između sedefaste ružičaste i svijetlo smeđe. Također, stavljala sam i Konad pločicu m35. Površina nokta nije glatka zbog rada spužvicom, mrzim to pa sam upotrijebila top coat, u ovom slučaju to je bio glitter topper 02 Julia od Essence Twins-a. Usput, valja napomenuti da nije u pitanju nikakva specijalna spužvica, obična ona koju koristite svakodnevno pri pranju posuđa, baš kao ova dolje. =)

This is my first sponge nail art and I'm very satisfied how does it look. But I'm not satisfied with my bad cam so I'm putting two pics. Anyway I used Catrice Posion me, posion you! for top of my nails, Mystic by Avon (I don't think it is available anymore to buy, and it is one of my favourite by Avon) just for make some shades and light violet. It is good because this Mystic is like something between shimmering pink and light brown. I also put Konad plate m35. The surface of the nail is not smooth because of "sponging", I hate that so I used top coat, in this case it was glitter topper 02 Julia from Essence Twins. Also, it's good to know it wasn't any special sponge, just that one you use everyday washing your dishes, like this one down there. =)
