Reto 2013 - Inspired by Colors

Hi there!

Recently I bought one of Essence's new polishes - 'upper green side', I fell in love with color instantly as I saw it on the display. Of course, I had to wear it the first chance I had . This week's theme is 'Inspired by Colors', since is spring (somewhere at least) I decided for this spring color with colors of the rainbow on it. Here it is!
Nedavno sam kupila Essenceov novi lakić - 'upper green side', zaljubila sam se u njega čim sam ga vidjela na polici. Naravno, morala sam ga nositi prvom prilikom . Ovotjedna tema izazova je 'inspirirani bojama', a kako je proljeće (barem negdje) odlučila sam se za ovu proljetnu bojicu i dodala joj još i dugine boje. Evo i manikure!

Not so creative but cute, in my humble opinion. Maybe you'll disagree, but I can't help it there.
About Essence 'upper green side'...
Nisam bila baš nešto posebno kreativna, ali manikura mi je ipak slatka. Možda se nećete složiti, ali tu pomoći ne mogu. A što se tiče Essence 'upper green side' lakića...

First two pics taken in the sun (but it's gloomy day outside), the last two in the shade. This is pastel green polish with almost invisible blue shimmer. Formula is great, one coat enough, but I did two, it looks better in pictures, no topcoat here. Love the wide brush, drying time is surprisingly good... this baby is already among my favorite colors for this spring . Which colors would you wear?
Let me remind you of other girls manicures, take a look at those too.
Prve dvije fotke sa sunca, odnosno punog svjetla jer je vani oblačno, posljednje dvije iz sjene. Ovo je pastelno zelena bojica sa jedva vidljivim plavim shimmerom. Formula je super, jedan sloj dovoljan, ali tu su dva jer bolje izgledaju na fotkama, bez nadlaka. Volim ovu široku četkicu, čak je i vrijeme sušenja iznenađujuće dobro... ova bebica je već uletjela u moje favorite za ovo proljeće . Kakve ćete vi boje nositi?
Dozvolite da vas podsjetim na druge cure, pogledajte i njihove manikure.

Purple Day

Hi there!

Today is 'Purple Day', day in support of epilepsy awareness. I'm glad that Croatia is a part of it too. 

Danas je 'Ljubičasti dan', dan podrške osobama s epilepsijom. Drago mi je da ga i mi u Hrvatskoj obilježavamo. Moj skroman obol je ova manikura.

I stamped with Konad plate m64 using Catrice 'How I Matt Your Mother' over March Sweet Candy #5. 'How I Matt Your Mother' has soft touch finish, almost matte, that gave me the idea to use the matte topcoat over the manicure. 

This manicure goes for my little angel, my beloved friend Luka. Luka is 12 and half years old, he was hit by the van some three years ago... he suffered very bad brain trauma and as result of it, now he's struggling with epilepsy seizures every single day. My heart is breaking for not be able to help him. But, hope is still here, hoping he'll be better eventually. My prayer is with him tonight.

Koristila sam Konadovu stamping pločicu m64 i Catrice 'How I Matt Your Mother' preko March Sweet Candy #5 laka. 'How I Matt Your Mother' ima soft touch, skoro pa mat finiš, što mi je dalo ideju da čitavu manikuru matiram. 

Manikuru posvećujem svom malom anđelu, dragom prijatelju Luki. Luka ima 12 ipol godina, pred neke tri godine udario ga je kombi... pretrpio je teške ozljede mozga koje su rezultirale  svakodnevnom borbom s epileptičkim napadima. Srce mi se slama jer mu ne mogu pomoći. Ali, nada je još uvijek tu, nadam se da će jednom ipak biti bolje. Moje molitve su i večeras s njim.

Sorry, this place it taken

Hi there!

The other day, in the pharmacy, I saw these babies... of course, I had to take them home.
Nekidan sam u ljekarni naletjela na ove bebice... i naravno, morala sam ih ponijeti doma.

These are Flash polishes by Vollare cosmetics, Polish brand, small bottles of 5 ml. I would love to give them to some of you . I'll include this baby too, franken of mine 'pink lady'.

Ovo su Flash lakići by Vollare cosmetics, poljski brend, u malim  bočicama od 5 ml. Rado bih ih pokonila nekom do vas . Dadat ću još i svoj franken, 'pink lady'.

                        

All together now...

Svi zajedno...

This is the easiest way for me to say thanks to all of you, for being with me, for supporting me, for making my days brighter... it's only a modest gift, but it's given from my heart. 

All you have to do is tell me your name and email address, as simple as that. This giveaway is open  for Europe only.  

Ovo je najjednostavniji način da vam svima zahvalim što ste tu, što podržavate moj rad, što mi uljepšate dan... dar je skroman, ali je iz srca.

Sve što vi trebate napraviti je ostaviti svoje ime i email adresu, tako jednostavno. Darivanje je samo za stanovnike Europe.

One more thing before I go... my cat think everything in this house belongs to him... including my bed and pillow . It's his way of saying 'this place is taken' . He doesn't mind if I'm sleeping, he just climb on me and make a place for himself .
Još nešto prije no što odem... moj mačak misli da sve u ovoj kući pripada njemu... uključujući i moj krevet i jastuk . To je valjda njegov način da poruči 'ovo mjesto je zauzeto' . Čak mu ne smeta ni ako ja spavam, samo se popenje na mene i ulogori na mojim leđima ili nogama .

He's just lucky I have a soft spot in my heart for him  .
Lako mu je kad sam slaba na njega .

Thanks for visiting, Žana

Reto 2013 - Inspired by Brand

Hi there!

Honestly, this week's theme is hard... how to choose from so many brands that surround us, every day, everywhere we look, everything we touch... at the end I decided for brand that literally changed my life, I'll bet all of you recognize it without any problems.
Iskreno, ovotjedna tema mi je teška... kako uopće izabrati išta od tolikih brandova koji nas okružuju, gdjegod da pogledamo, štogod da taknemo... na kraju sam se odlučila za brand koji mi je doslovno promijenio život, i kladim se da ćete ga svi prepoznati bez problema. 

Did you recognize it, have I finished this mission with success?

Prepoznale ste, jesam li uspješno odradila ovaj zadatak!?

Thanks for stopping, Žana

p.s. of course, I invite you to take a look at other girls manicures with this theme

Bart and Lisa

Hi there!

Wearing yellow polish instantly reminded me of yellow people - The Simpsons! So I challenged myself to try to do something about it. You know what, it's good enough to let you see it .
Žuti lak na noktima odmah me podsjetio na žute ljude - Simpsone! Pa sam sama sebe izazvala da pokušam nešto i napraviti na tu temu. I znate što, dovoljno je dobro da vam to i pokažem .

Honestly, I'm so proud of myself! In real life this looks even better. The yellow polish is Orly 'hooked up', but you'll hear more of it some other time. 

In meantime, tell me, what do you think of my Simpsons!?

Iskreno, baš sam ponosna na sebe! Uživo ovo izgleda i bolje nego na ekranu. Žuti lakić je Orly 'hooked up', ali o njemu ćete više ćuti neki drugi put. 

U međuvremenu, recite mi što mislite o ovoj verziji Simpsona!?
