Del sol - rock star

Hi girls!

Na dolasku kući dočekao me paketić :-D Požurila sam s otvaranjem (naravno, prije svega drugog) i oduševila se ugledavši svoj 'del sol' lakić. Isti tren me prošla i glad i žeđ te sam se bacila na skidanje starog laka i isprobavanje novog :-D U bočici izgleda fenomenalno - tamno plavi sa šljokicama... nakon prvog poteza slijedi razočaranje, lak je jaaaaaako proziran i potrebna su barem 3 sloja da na nešto liči, no da divno čudo nisam imala problema sa sušenjem, nisam stavila nadlak da mu to ne smetalo u transformaciji. Eh, a onda sam požurila na balkon hvatati sunce... i pogledajte što sam uhvatila.
Slikano unutra, na slikama 3 sloja, bez topcoata.
On arriving home I saw package :-D I hurried to open it (of course, before anything else) and I was thrilled to the sight of 'del sol' nail polish. Instantly, I wasn't hungry of thirsty anymore, so I just removed old polish and tried new one :-D In the bottle it looks fantastic - dark blue with glitters... wich turns in disappointment, it's so sheer and requires at least 3 coats, but surprisingly have no problems with drying, I didn't put topcoat in fear for transformation. I rushed to the balcony to catch the sun... and look what I caught.
On pictures 3 coats, no topcoat, inside.


Ne izgleda loše, jel' da!?
Ovo su slike sa sunca, nakon pola sata hvatanja istog.
It doesn't look bad, don't you think!?
These are pictures on the sun, after half an hour of catching it.


Vidite li vi tu neku razliku? Ma vidi se šipak a ne promjena boje :-p
Ok, na uputama piše da što je sunce odnosno uv zračenje jače, boja se brže mjenja i da najbolje rezultate daju ljeti... ne preostaje mi ništa drugo nego čekati ljeto :-/ Još kad se sjetim da ne volim ljeto...
See the difference? You don't see nothing of changing the color :-p
Ok, the site says that the sun or uv rays are stronger, the colors are changing more rapidly and that the best results are obtained in the summer... well, now I'm gonna wait for the summer :-/ And when I remember that I don't like summer...

Never the less, till we meet again, love yourself... and be careful what you're buying, of course :-D

p.s. someone asked me of picture of last mani in the sun :-D
You got it!
                           
Ok, the holo effect is not that strong, but it's still pretty nice color :-D

Love you all

My new flower ring





Thanks Marina!

Better than gel nails - conclusion

Hi girls!

Udarila vrata, vrata 1 - french tip 0... nije da mi je krivo ;-)
Banged the doors, door 1 - french tip 0... but I don't mind :-)
Nokte umoćiti ovdje...
Dip your nails here..
 ...ovako izgledaju nakon bućkanja - nema laka, nema french tipa
... after dipping - no polish, no french tips
Nakon ovakve apstinencije zaslužila sam da se malo počastim, ha!? Ovo je 'eveline holografic shine 413'
After such an apstinence I deserved a little treat, huh!? This is 'eveline holografic shine 413'
 Malo jasnija slika...
Something clearer picture...
 ... a ova je čisto radi mog gušta :-D
... and this one is purely for my pleasure :-D
Zaključak: 'better than gel nails' je skoro pa odličan proizvod. Ako imate kratke nokte i volite francusku manikuru s ovim definitivno nećete pogriješiti. Ljepilo i tipse su dodatno učvrstile nokte :-) Čarobna kutijica za skidanje ove manikure je super, jaaaaaako zabavna iako je aceton u njoj prestrašan, najjači koji sam ikad imala prilike koristiti. Base i top coat mi se čine jako dobri, imam ih sad na noktima :-)
I to je to, preumorna sam i idem u krpe!
Juhu, opet imam svoje nokte :-D
Conclusion: 'better than gel nails' is almost a perfect product. If you have short nails and love the french manicure, with this you definitely will not go wrong. Glue and tips made my nails stronger :-) Remover is great, it's fun although the aceton in it is to strong, the strongest I have ever used. Base and top coat are so good, I even have it now on my nails :-)
And that's it, I'm too tired and now I'm going to bed!

Yeah, I've got my nails back :-D

Till we meet again, love yourself...

p.s. 'better than gel nails' were send to me for review

Poor me :-(

Hi girls!

Samo da se javim, živa sam i još uvijek ne lakiram nokte :-( Ovo čudo na noktima se super drži, danas brojim 5i dan. Mislila sam ovo bar malo obogatiti pa sam dodala srebrne pečate, greška - ne vide se iz aviona pa kao da ih nema. Jedino što se sad vidi je još veći izrast nokta, ok ne vidi se uživo ali na slikama je baš upadljiv. Znam kako ću to sakriti, ali o tom nekom drugom prilikom. Sad ću vas pustiti da zavirite u onaj dio lakova koji se tek treba pojaviti na blogu i koji i sama s nestrpljenjem očekujem :-)
Just to check in, I'm still alive and kicking... and don't paint my nails :-( This thing on my nails is doing great, today is the 5th day. I thought to rich this a little bit so I added silver stamps, mistake - not visible from the aircraft so as there's nothing on nails. The only thing visible is the nail growth line, not live but in the pictures is quite striking. I know how I'm gonna hide it, but let's save that for some other occasion. Now I'll let you peek into the part of polishes that are waiting to appear on the blog, I myself looking forward to this :-)

A evo i famoznih noktića, boljih nego geliranih, naravno :-)
And here are these, better than gel nails, of course :-)
Pečat se jedva vidi ali se vidi linija izrasta, doduše uživo baš i ne. Nadam se da sve iskreno suosjećate sa mnom ;-) Moji su se muški doma već počeli smijuljit i sve me ispod oka gledaju i pitaju se kad ću puknit i nalakirat nokte... ali ja sve stoički podnosim.
The design is barely seen but you can see the growth line, though not so live. I hope you all sincerely sympathize with me ;-) My males (meaning my husband and son) started to giggling, they watching me and wondering when I'll snap and polish my nails... but I'll endure stoically.

Till we meet again, love yourself...

Better than gel nails

Hi girls!

Danas ćemo se malo igrati s essence-ovim novim proizvodima 'better than gel nails'. Mislim da bi već trebali biti u trgovinama u Hrvatskoj, ako nisu budu za koji dan. Moram se ispraviti, budu u prodaju tek u petom mjesecu, a to znači da ćete se morati još malo strpiti. Moji proizvodi su došli u krasnom neseseru :-)
Today we'll play with the essences new product 'better than gel nails'. I think it should be in stores in Croatia, if not today than soon. Sorry, not before may, i've been told. My products arrived in a beautiful bag :-)
                            
Naravno, odstranila sam lak s noktiju i krenula...
Korak 1 - odstranjivanje nečistoća i masnoća s nokta... za to vam služi ova turpija, svjetlija strana
Of course, I removed nail polish first...
Step 1 - removing dirt and grease from fingernail... use this file, the lighter side
 A evo i obrađenih noktića...
And here are treated nails...
Naravno, prije nastavka obrišite nokte da odstranite prašinu s njih :-) Izvadimo naše nastavke za noktiće, ja sam izabrala sive za ovaj put, dobila sam i bijele i nadam se da će i oni doći na red.
Of course, before continuing you have to wipe your nails to remove dust from them :-) Take french tips for the nails, I chose gray for this time, I got white too and I hope they will come to turn too.
Korak 2 - od 9 ponuđenih veličina izaberite onu koja odgovara vašem noktu, namažite je ljepilom s donje strane, pritisnite na nokat i držite par sekundi (stvarno brzo hvata)...
Step 2 - of 9 offered size choose the one that fits your nail, apply the glue on the bottom, press and hold it for a couple of seconds (it catches really quickly)...
... ovako to izgleda, sad ovu polugicu podignete gore, spustite dolje...
...it looks like this, now this handle of tip push up and down...
 ... i nje više nema :-)
...and it's gone :-)
Naravno, ovo bi trebalo ponoviti i na ostalih 9 noktiju :-D
Of course, this should be repeated on the remaining 9 nails :-D
Korak 3 -nakon ovoga ćete s tamnijom stranom turpije isturpijati eventualni višak nokta (ja sam svoje morala skratiti šmrc) ili ostatke polugice.
Korak 4 - nanesite base sealer, 2 sloja...
Step 3 - after this you'll use the darker side of file to file-off residue of handle of tip and shape your nails (I have to shortened mine, so sad)Step 4 - apply the base sealer, 2 coats                           
... a onda i top sealer, isto 2 sloja.
... and top sealer, 2 coats also.
I to je to! Sad sam konačno mogla ruke počastiti i kremom :-)
That's it! Now I could finally put some cream on my poor hands :-)
Ne bi uopće izgledalo loše da nisam napravila kardinalnu grešku - nisam htjela kratiti svoje nokte pa sam french tip pomakla na sam kraj nokta i time liniju rasta učinila vidljivom. Znači, ovo je ipak za kraće nokte... Sad će biti zanimljivo provjeriti trajnost ovog proizvoda... trebao bi trajati 10 dana, ali ja bih bila sasvim zadovoljna i sa 7. Jedini problem je u činjenici da su mi nokti prestrašni... osjećam se gola, pokrijte me :-(
Meni će ovo biti teška apstinencija - nema lakiranja noktiju idućih par dana :-(
Sve u svemu, mogla bih ovom proizvodu dati prolaznu ocjenu. Turpija je fantastična, trebali bi je prodavati i samostalno. Ova dva top coata mi se isto čine sasvim pristojni, i jako se brzo suše. Sami french tipovi su me također pozitivno iznenadili, mislila sam da će biti tvrđi i deblji, a oni su ustvari sasvim mekani i tanki, kao deblji sloj laka. Primjena je isto sasvim jednostavna, čak sam i ja, smotana kakva jesam, to pristojno odradila :-)
Ali, ima i mana! Ako imate duže nokte, ovo preskočite... ovdje igraju samo kratki nokti. Druga primjedba i meni bitnija odnosi se na tipove - u pakiranju dobijete 18 komada u 9 veličina, svaka veličina po 2 komada. E, tu je problem. Meni su recimo nokti na kažiprstu i prstenjaku identične veličine, znači trebala bi mi 4 komada iste veličine, u ovom slučaju 6-ice. Ali u pakiranju su samo dvije ove veličine... pa se trebate snaći ili s većim ili s manjim tipom. Šteta, inaće bi sve ovo savršeno radilo.
A odstranjivač ću vam predstaviti kad dođe na red... moram priznati da jedva čekam :-)
Ako vam nisam bila dovoljno jasna, pogledajte sve ovo na videu tu: essence betterthangelnails
I naravno, proizvode sam dobila da bih ih ocijenila i predstavila vama. S ocjenom ću još pričekati, jer bi i trajnost trebala ući u nju.
Nadam se da vas zainteresirala, ja sam se u svakom slučaju zabavila :-)
It wouldn't seems bad at all if I haven't made the cardinal mistake - I didn't want to shorten my nails so I moved the french tip till the end of nail and now the growth line is visible. So, this is for shorter nails... Now it will be interesting to check the durability of this product... should last till 10 days, but I'd be quite happy with 7. The only problem is the fact that my nails are horrifying... I feel naked, somebody cover me :-(
To me this would be difficult abstinence - no nail polishing for next few days :-(
I could give this product a passing grade. File is fantastic, they should sell it independently. The two top coats seems quite good, and very fast drying. French tips also surprised me, in a good way, I thought they would be harder and thicker, and they are actually quite soft and thin, like a thicker layer of polish. The application is also quite simple, even I, clumsy as I am, have done a decent job :-)
But there are flaws too! If you have long nails, skip this... this is only for short nails. The second objection and more important to me refers to the french tips - the package will get you 18 pieces in 9 sizes, 2 pieces of each size. Well, here's the problem. Nails on my index finger and ring finger are identical in size, meaning I need 4 pieces of the same size, in my case 6. But in the package are just 2 of this size... so you need to manage with bigger or smaller tips. Too bad, otherwise this would be working perfectly.
I'll introduce the remover when it comes to turn... I must admit than I can hardly wait :-)
If I wasn't clear enough, take a look at this video: 
essence, betterthangelnails
And of course,
these were sent to me for review. I'll wait with a final conclusion, just to see how long this will stay on my nails.
This was fun, I hope you enjoyed too :-)


Till we meet again, love yourself...

Don't you just love dots!?

Hi girls!

Just a short one, i'm in hurry :-) Last night I was playing with my dotting tool, here is the result:
The last picture was taken in the sun, the rest of them in shade. I used s-he 464, gorgeous dark purple color as a base, than played with silver, yellow, orange, blue and green nail polish.
Excuse my bad cuticles, please :-)
I just love this mani, it so... cheerful!

Nail art is hard :-(

Salut mes filles!

Nakon puna tri dana nošenja moja je manikura pokazala prve znakove habanja... nakon tri dana wow. Premda mi se jako sviđala jedva sam čekala novu :-) Ako ne mogu promijeniti državnu politiku ili pomoći unesrećenima u Japanu, mogu barem promijeniti manikuru :-) Evo nove:
After three full days my manicure showed the first signs of wear... after three days, wow. Although I really liked it I could hardly wait for the next one :-) If I can't change government policy or help victims in Japan, I can at least change manicure :-) Here's the new:
S-he 437 je korišten kao podloga ali mi se činilo malo predosadno imati samo lak pa sam opet uzela tip paintere i pokušala nešto napraviti. Uf, nisam baš sigurna da sam uspjela a onda se još i na slikama bijela boja jedva razlikuje od srebrne... u svakom slučaju, ovo je maksimum kojeg sam u tom trenutku uspjela izvući. A sama podloga, odnosno s-he 437? Joj žene, sa svakim novim lakićem ovaj me brand sve više oduševljava - ova je nijansa predivna, tako topla iskričava boja, slobodno povećajte slike i pogledajte nokte malo pobliže. Ne znam jel' ovo temperatura progovara iz mene, ali mi se čini da sam došla u fazu kad se zaljubim u svaki novi lak... nema više biranja... to je već prava ovisnost :-D
I used s-he 437 for base but it seemed too bored to have just a polish so I took some  tip painters and tried to do something. Phew, I'm not sure I succeeded, and on the pictures you can hardly see diference betwen white and silver... In any case, this is the maximum that I managed to get this time. And polish itself, s-he 437? Oh womens, each new polish from this brand makes me more excited - this is a beautiful shade, so warm sparkling color, feel free to enlarge the photos and see the nail a little more closely. I don't know if this fever speaks from me, but I think I came to the stage when I fall in love with each new polish... no more picking... this is a real addiction :-D

Till we meet again, love yourself...

Fire!

Hi girls!

Grozno!!! Definitivno više nisam u dobrim odnosima sa svojim fotićem! Da razjasnimo nešto - apsolutno sam oduševljena ovom manikurom, predivna mi je kombinacije crvene i crne sa malo zlatnog glittera... ali na slikama to više ne izgleda onako dobro kao na noktima, tu se vide neke sjene kojih na noktu nema... stvarno ne znam u čemu je problem :-(
No, za ovu manikuru sam koristila gabrini multivitamin (lol) 326, essence black tip painter, eveline zlatni glitter i seche vite topcoat.
Sviđa li se i vama?
Terrible!!! Definitely I'm not in a good with my camera! To clarify something - I'm absolutely delighted with this manicure, i love combination of red and black with gold glitter... but on the pictures it doesn't look as good as on the nails, you can see some shadows on the nail which you can't see in real life... I don't really know what's the problem :-(
However, for this manicure I used gabrini multivitamin (lol) 326, essence black tip painter, eveline gold glitter and seche vite topcoat.
Do you like it?

Until the next polishing, enjoy yourself...
