Blue flowers or leaves?


Hello to all! One of the things i hate the most about writing blog is actually - writing! Besides my bad camera :D but now you'll see some better pictures :D Anyway, I don't have to tell you anything, cause I took care and took photos :DPozdrav svima! Jedna od stvari koje najviše mrzim oko pisanja bloga je zapravo - pisanje! Osim svoje loše kamere :D ali sada ćete vidjeti neke bolje slike :D Svejedno, ne trebam vam ništa reći jer sam se pobrinula i uslikala sve. :D



Left hand has a top coat by Essence. "Better than gel nails" top coat with XXXL shine. Right hand is without it.
Lijeva ruka ima nadlak od essence-a. "Better than gel nails" nadlak sa XXXL sjajem. Desna ruka ga nema.



One picture is taken on the sunlight, and the other in shadow.
Jedna fotografija je slikana na sunčevom svjetlu a druga u sjeni.
 

And I apologize for messy cuticula on my right hand. 
Ispričavam se na neurednoj kožici na desnoj ruci.




And those are polishes I used.
A ovo su lakovi koje sam koristila.

Bloody splatter manicure

Messy cuticula/neočišćena kožica





Well, I saw a tutorial how to made splatter manicure and I wanted to try it. You can see it here: Nail splatter manicure. Vdjela sam tutorial kako napraviti mrljastu manikuru i željela sam to isprobati. Možete ga vidjeti ovdje:  Nail splatter manicure.
I had only 4 nail polishes: silver, dark red, white and black nail art pol
ish (with thin brush). So I decided the best look will be to paint my nails white and then do the red splatter on it. Imala sam samo 4 laka: srebrni, tamnocrveni, bijeli i crni, ali za nail art, s tankim kistom. Stoga sam odlučila  da bi nejbolje izgledalo napraviti crvene mrlje na bijeloj podlozi.

Also, I "spitted" only once on each nail. Because I wanted rather Jackson Pollock masterpiece on my nails than murderer nails look.
Međutim, ja sam "pljunula" na nokte samo po jednom na svaki. zato što sam htjela radije izgled umjetničkog djela Jacksona Pollocka, nego izgled noktiju nekog ubojice.

Also, if you better look this video, you will see a lot of mess there, I didn't have problem with that, so I don't know why everyone calles it "messy work". Some bloggers say that this is worse than watermarbeling but I consider nothing is messy as watermarbeling :D. Maybe tis was because of number of "spitting". Here it is, a picture with messy cuticula.
Također, ako bolje pogledate ovaj video, vidjet ćete  da je mnogo nereda napravljeno oko kožice. Ja nisam imala problema s time, zato ne znam zašto je svima ovo naporno raditi jer kažu da ima mnogo posla oko čišćenja poslije. Nekima je ovo čak gore i od watermarbelinga. Meni ništa nije gore od watermarbelinga :D Možda je ovo zbog broja "pljuvanja". Evo slika moje neočišćene kožice.


There is also one tip I did. I didn't place polish on some surface. I opened the bottle and directly
from the brush I dropped polish into bottom of the straw. Well, to be honest, while it was drying I wondered myself how long had took to Polock's paintings to dry when my nails, splattered only once each, need whole eternity. Također je još jedna caka koju sam napravila. Nisam stavila lak na neku podlogu. Otvorila bih lak i direktno s četkice kapnula u dno slamke. da budem sikrena, dok se sušilo, pitala sam se koliko je trebalo Pollockovim slikama da se osuše ako mojim noktima, poprskanim samo po jednom svaki, treba cijela vječnost.

Okay, after for about an hour of drying, I did top coat. I used Essence's Better than gel nails XXXL shine. It is very shiny but it takes longer to dry than Konad's. I was too tired to do and wait other hand, so I did my right tomorrow. I'm very sorry this WGA mobile pictures are bad, and you can not see shine of top c
oat. But I can tell you, top coat protected manicure from ruining, I'm very satisfied. Dobro, nakon oko sat vremena sušenja, stavila sam nadlak. Koristila sam  Essence's Better than gel nails XXXL shine. Veoma je sjajan ali mu treba dulje da se osuši nego Konadu. Bila sam preumorna za napraviti i drugu ruku i čekati da se osuši, stoga sam desnu napravila sutradan. Jako mi je žao što su ove VGA slike slikane mobitelom ovako loše i ne možete vidjeti sjaj nadlaka, ali vam mogu reći da je zaštitio manikuru od oštećenja, veoma sam zadovoljna.

Pink ala true blone


Long time no see :D Yesterday I did this on my nails. I used some Chinese nail polish. Usually, I don't have anything against nail polishes from Chinese shops (many of them are fabulous), but this one is awful. It takes to long to dry and also a bit of apricot juice fell on my nail and it acted like it's melting. Like acid hit it. Also, a surface was ruined after every touch. So I used Konad top coat. To prevent damage. And I aded these cute little stickers.
Dugo se nismo vidjeli. :D Jučer sam radila ovo na noktima. Koristila sam neki kineski lak za nokte. obično nemam ništa protiv lakova iz kineskih dućana (mnogi su odlični), ali ovaj je užasan. Treba mu dugo da se osuši, a kad mi je palo malo soka od breskve na nokat, lak se ponašao kao da se topi. Kao da ga je dotakla kiselina. Također, površina se uništavala svakim dodirom. Stoga sam posegnula za konadovim top coatom da bih spriječila štetu. dodala sam i ove slatke male naljepnice.

I won a prize! New members in my family!


 These days i got awesome things. Some of them were gifts, others were prizes. But i have to brag about them.
Let's start. This year i promissed to myself not to buy nailpolishes anymore, but i may win them or receive them as a gift :D I know, I'm a such a bitch! :D
Well, from the start of this year I have won 5 nail polishes :D, in average, every two months, I grab one :P
Okay, now I counted my nail polishes, i got 49 basic nail polishes, and i didn't count crackle, stamping, nail art thin brush polishes and top coats.
so here are some pictures I made to show you.

This first pic are my the most valuable polishes - ANNY. I heard one of these costs for about 71 €, so I would never buy them by myself.
here are:
yellow-green named FANCY 376,
red-brown named SOUL SISTERS 143, dark orange LATINA 158. and this on  the left is S-he stylezone violet, I don't know which.
Also, I got as a friend's gift a nice cosmetic bag so i put all of them in it.

 And the fanciest of all are those lovely stickers I can't wait to try.

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy! by Catrice

Hello to all! Where to start? That was my question few days ago when I saw Catrice nail polish as a gift in newspaper which cost 40% cheaper than nail polish in cosmetic market. First I bought, was this beautiful light green. That is the colour I haven't have in my cosmetic bag, so I have had to buy it.
This first picture is how does it look with two coats in the shadow.
Beautiful limeta colour.
I guess it would look better on girls with dark skin or tanned skin. Anyway this wasn't enough for me, danm, I'm a nail artist, so I put a little bit of abstract art on my nails.
Pozdrav svima! Odakle početi? To je bilo moje pitanje kad sam vidjela Catrice lak za nokte kao poklon u novinama koje koštaju 40% jeftinije nego lak u drogeriji. Prva koju sam kupila, bila je prekrasna svijetla zelena. to je boja koju još nisam imala u svojoj kolekciji pa sam je morala kupiti. Prva slika je kako izgleda sa dva sloja u sjeni. Prekrasna boja limete. Pretpostavljam da bi bolje izgledala na djevajkama tamne ili preplanule kože. Svejedno, ovo nije bilo dovoljno za mene, kvragu, pa ja sam umjetnik,pa sam stavila malo apstraktne umjetnosti na nokte.

Judo nails

Well I started from ombre manicure. First I did Essence "What do you think". Then I did Avon "Golden Twilight". It is antracit black with little golden sparkling elements. And with white Golden Rose Nail Art nail polish 101. Over black part of the nails is Essence Twins collection, top coat 02 Julia. The "sign" is japanese word for "judo", japanese martial art. Enjoy the pics.



Nail polishes I used

Rihanna nails / Fuck off manicure / Avon Sunshine / Smiley nails

Rihanna nails / Fuck off manicure / Avon Sunshine / Smiley nails

I saw this manicure in newspaper and I decided to try. Base is Avon Sunshine. I have it for ages, it's old,  so I used a sponge instead of nail polish brush to do my nails. Otherwise, this baby would take days to dry. It was easy to do the second step. Using nail dotter I did "eyes" and Golden Rose Nail Art 106 for mouth.

  so, why this one in the middle is the only one sad? Why is it called "The fuck off manicure"? :P

Golden Rose Graffiti



I was searching for perfect graffiti/crackle nail polish. I heard about Golden Rose's Graffiti but couldn't find it anywhere. I almost bought China Glaze's which is not at all so good as this one is. Luckily, I was travelling and when I saw it in the market - I was frozen! And then happy as a child. I bought this yellow (08), pink, electric light blue and violet. And there were may various colors, with shimmer or without... I was like a child in Disneyland! Base is pink mr.big by Essence.

Orange & Blue: "IN" combination of summer 2012


It reminds me on circus,and I am not such a great fan of this combination : orange and blue. But great news is that those two together are ultra popular this summer season. Check out my design!
Podsjeća me na cirkus, a nisam veliki ljubitelj ove kombinacije narančasta i plava. Odlična vijest je da ove dvije zajedno su ultra popularna kombinacija ove ljetne sezone. pogledajte moj dizajn!

- Essence: 22 What do you think & Essence: Twins collection 07 Chuck

Avon: Cosmic Blue

Avon Cosmic Blue
I had a chance to try new sweetie from Avon. The new shade of blue has little blue sparkling elements so it reminds on electric blue but it's a bit lighter. Texture of nail polish, unfotunately, is not so good as normally Avon nail polishes (nailwear pro) are known and we are used. It is too light, colour is not so rich, and you have to apply 3 coats - others Avon nailwear pro need maximum 2, sometimes one is enough. Colour is something between violet and blue, it is cute summer shade but this summer, if you ask me, i'll be rather using Lux Lavender, Peppermint Leaf and Vintage Blue than this one.
Imala sam priliku isprobati novu Avonovu poslasticu. nova nijansa plave ima male svjetlucajuće čestice pa podsjeća na elekto plavu, ali je malo svjetlija. Tekstura laka, nažalost, nije dobra kao što smo navikli na Avonove lakove. Presvijetal je, boja nije tako pigmentirana i gusta, trebate 3 sloja - ostalim Avonovima lakovima trebaju maksimalno 2, nekad je dovoljan i 1. Boja je nešto između ljubičaste i blave, slatka ljetna nijansa, ali ovo ljeto, ako mene pitate, radije ću koristiti  Lux Lavender, Peppermint Leaf i Vintage Blue nego ovu.

FLAKIES = Essence top coat Night in Vegas



Essence top coat Night in Vegas


 I found crazy top coat I've been lookin for. To be honest, I expected something weird in bottle, but it looks like some light "colourless" nail polish. I did it over black Golden Rose 287, because this works better on dark shades. Anyway, I'm pretty satisfied with it. =)Pronašla sam napokon ovaj ludi top coat koji sam tražila. da budem iskrena, očekivala sam nešto čudno u bočici, ali izgleda kao neki svijetli prozirni lak. Stavila sam ga preko Golden Rose 287 jer izgleda bolje preko tamnijih nijansi. Svejedno, jako sam zadovoljna njime. =)

Tendril manicure

Evo moje jedne manikure sa omiljenom nijansom - vintage blue iz Avona, pastelna baby plava :) Preko nje ide crveni Golden Rose liner u obliku vitica te točkice. Izgleda veoma fancy a nije teško za napraviti i svaki nokat je drugačiji. =)
Here is one of my manicures with my favourite colour - Vintage blue by Avon, pastel baby blue. :) Over it goes red Golden rose liner in a shape of a tendril and some dots. It looks very fancy and it's not hard to do it and every nail is different. =)

Card nails


 I know the pisture is so bad but i hope you can recognize the shapes of poker cards. One is representing Jocker card :)
Now, "ingridients":
Base is old collection S-he, white colour no. 306
Nail art polishes with thin brush:
- black is Golden Rose 106
- red is Golden Rose 117
- and green is Golden Rose 130

Golden Rose crackling nail polish

Svijet je poludio za pucajućim lakovima za nokte. Nakon svih takvih koje sam probala, zaključila sam da je onaj od Golden Rose najbolji. Problem je što je u Hrvatskoj jako teško doći do njega ili je jako skup. Svejedno, malo sam se šuljala okolo i našla bočicu za oko 1,50 €. Kupila sam ljubičastu, žutu, svjetlucavu svijetlo plavu i ružičastu. Nisam htjela potrošiti sav novac, jer sam već ionako luda za nail artom i svim tim stvarčicama i lakovima. Bila je teška odluka i velik izbor. Nosim Speed Dry + Avon nijansu Limeade (svijetlo zelena sedefasta) kao bazu i Golden rose pucajući ljubičasta boja 05 Genijalno puca. I da, ovo na slici je snijeg. =)

The world has gone crazy about crackling nail polish. After all polishes I've tried, I considered that the best was that one by Golden Rose. The problem is that in Croatia is very hard to get it or we can get it but it costs very much. Anyway, I was sneaking around a little bit and I found a bottle for an 1,50 €! I bought purple, yellow, sparkling light blue and pink. I didn't want to spend all my money, 'cause I'm already enough crazy about nail art things and polishes. So it was hard decision because there were many options. I'm wearing Speed Dry + by Avon - Limeade (light green) as a base and 05 Golden Rose crackling - it's purple It cracles so brilliant! And yes, this on photo is a ball of snow. =)

Winter nails

Ispod sniježnog pokrivača smo pa su i moji nokti. Koristila sam  Avon Classic Fit lak i Golden Rose 121 na vrhu. Preko je  Konad pečat za nokte pločica m59 sa printom snježne pahulje =)

We are under the snow blanket so are my nails. I used Avon Classic Fit nail polish and Golden Rose 121 on the top of nail. Over is Konad stamping nail art plate no. m59
with image of snowflake. =)

Valentine's day nail art (part 2) !

Imam i drugu ideju za Valentinovo, malo možda više moderno-umjetnički, ali svakako zanimljiv i sladak, a kako i ne bi bio kad su u pitanju srca. Ponovno vam treba:
 - tanki kistić za iscrtavanje i mirna ruka za ravne linije
- H&M Fashionista
 - Golden Rose nail art 101 =)

I have also another idea for Valentine's Day, maybe a little bit more modern-art style, but also interesting and cute, but how wouldn't it be when we talk about hearts. Again you will need
 - thin brush and still hand to make straight lines
- H&M Fashionista
 - Golden Rose nail art 101 =) 

Valentines day nails!

On the light / na svjetlu
 Imam ideju za Valentinovo! Vrlo je jednostavna sve što će vam trebati je nail art lak sa tankim kistićem ili pak neki drugi alat za tanko iscrtavanje. Koristila sam:
- Essence Twins Chuck (PLAVA)
 - Golden Rose 106 (BIJELA) i 117 (CRVENA)
=)
A što ćete vi nositi za Valentinovo?


I have an idea for Valentine's Day! It's pretty simple, all you gonna need is a nail art nail polish with thin brush included or some other tool for making thin lines. I used:
 - Essence Twins Chuck (BLUE base)
- Golden Rose 106 (WHITE) i 117 (RED)
=) 
What are you going to wear for Valentine's Day?






Pink or white nails?

Odavno me ne vidjeste da išta post-am :D ali ne brinite živa sam. Danas vam post-am o zanimljivom nail artu. Nosim  Essence 04 mr.Big (ROZI) i iz stare kolekcije S-he 306 (BIJELI) a između njih je prijelom CRNOG Golden Rose nail art 106. Preko svega je šljokičasti premaz 02 Julia iz Essence Twins. Što mislite? jel bolji cvijet ili manikura? =)
It's been long that you havent seen my post :D But don't worry, I'm still alive. Today I'm posting about a very interesting nail art. I'm wearing Essence 04 mr.Big ( PINK) and old collection S-he 306 ( WHITE) and between them is BLACK Golden Rose nail art 106. All over is glitter topper 02 Julia from Essence Twins. What do you think? What is better, the flower or the manicure? =)
