Moonstruck, with Liquid Latex review

Hi there!

Hope you see these two cats mesmerized by the Moon. The fact that their tails are intertwined is purely coincidental, doesn't have anything to do with Valentine's Day. Now I think the manicure would look better if I left those two cats white, but you know what they say - in the dark every cat is black. 

Anyway, I made gradient with essence 'got a secret', CATRICE 'so suit!' and Chanel 'black satin', then painted the cats with black and white acrylic paints. No, I painted the Moon first .

This manicure is purely accidental, I wanted to show you this:

Nadam se da možete razaznati ove dvije mačke opčinjene Mjesecom. Činjenica da su im repovi isprepleteni je sasvim slučajna i nema nikakve veze s Valentinovom. Sad mi se čini da je sve izgledalo bolje dok su mačke bile bijele, no znate kako se kaže - u mraku su sve mačke crne.

Nego, gradijent je plod suradnje essence 'got a secret', CATRICE 'so suit!' i Chanelovog 'black satin'-a, nakon čega sam nacrtala mačke s crnom i bijelom akrilnom bojicom. Ne, ipak je Mjesec nacrtan prvi .

Manikura je donekle slučajna, htjela sam u biti napraviti post o ovome:

I had something dark on my mind, and I wanted to try Liquid Latex. 

Imala sam nešto tamno na pameti, jer sam htjela probati Liquid Latex, odnosno tekuću gumu.

I painted my nails with essence 'got a secret', and frame them with Liquid Latex. This product doesn't have a brush in the bottle, but I used the old polish brush. It's dry almost instantly, I used pretty thin layers.

Nokte sam nalakirala essenceovim 'got a secret' pa ih uokvirila tekućim latexom. U ovom pakiranju ne dolazi s četkicom pa sam se poslužila jednom iz potrošenog laka. Brzo se sušila, slojevi nisu bili debeli.

If you ever did gradient that included black, you know how messy it can be.

Ukoliko ste ikad radile gradijent koji je uključivao crnu, znate kako neuredno i prljavo to može biti.

I pushed latex from one side, grabe it with tweezers and just pull it off. Well, this was a piece of cake.

Latex sam zgurala s jedne strane, uhvatila ga pincetom i povukla. Ništa lakše!

This is how my nails looked after removing the latex. See, sides are super clean, next time I have to pay more attention to the roots of nails. 

Ovako su moji nokti izgledali nakon što sam skinula latex. Sa strane su zanoktice super čiste, idući put samo moram malo više pažnje obratiti na zanoktice pri samom korijenu nokta. 

 

After few strokes of brush with acetone everything looks great! I would probably spent next hour cleaning if I didn't used Liquid Latex. Thanks to this, now I can even try water marble again... maybe .

I bought it on ebay, here. Although it came from UK, it's made in China. First thing I noticed when I opened it, was a strong ammonia scent, which instantly reminded me of old hair colors. Don't know if this is common with all liquid latex manufactures,  but that smell won't stop me from using it again. Shop where I bought it, doesn't offer ingredients list. Like I said, it doesn't have brush inside. 

If you like to play with gradients, or water marble, something like this would come pretty handy. I'm glad I got it. 

Now back to what's really important - do you like my moonstruck cats?

Nakon par poteza kista i acetona sve je čisto! Vjerojatno bih provela idući sat vremena čisteći da nisam koristila tekući latex. Zahvaljujući ovom čudu, mogla bih se usuditi opet probati water marbel... možda .

Tekući latex sam kupila na ebay-u, ovdje. Premda je stigao iz Velike Britanije, proizveden je u Kini. Prvo što sam zamijetila nakon otvaranja bočice je jak miris amonijaka, koji me sjetio starih boja za kosu. Ne znam je li miris zajednički proizvodima i drugih proizvođača, no mene sigurno neće spriječiti da ga koristim ponovno. Na stranici gdje sam ga kupila, nisam našla popis sastojaka. Kao što rekoh, dolazi bez četkice.

Ukoliko se volite igrati gradijentima, ili water marble-ima, nešto ovakvo može se pokazati jako korisno. Meni je drago da sam ga nabavila.

A sad natrag na ono zbilja važno - sviđaju li Vam se moji mačkovi opčinjeni Mjesecom?
