Down by the seaside...

Hi there!

Kad svi zovu proljeće, ja ću zvati ljeto . Ovu sam manikuru sa zadovoljstvom nosila, i zbilja mi je bilo žao kad je došlo vrijeme da se skine. Na žalost, na mojim noktima ništa ne traje predugo.

I see everyone is calling for spring, so I'll be calling for summer . Here's the manicure that I wear with pleasure, and I was really sad when it came off. But that's the way it is, nothing last too long on my nails.

Nisam mogla staviti manje fotki, najradije bih ih nabacala još dvadeset. Dolje ih ima još, ove su nešto korisnije jer ću Vas u par koraka uputiti kako da same složite nešto slično.

I love how this looks, so I was considering of putting even more photos. Down bellow, you'll found some more, this time with purpose - it's a short tutorial so you can do it something like this, if you want, it's purely optional .

Kako je osnova manikure gradijent, toplo preporučujem da se starta s bijelom podlogom. Na taj način će Vam boje u gradijentu izgledati puno prirodnije.

Since the base of this manicure is a gradient, I'd recommended you to start with a white base. This way the colors of gradient will look more accurate and natural. 

 

Gradijent zna biti neuredan, sjetite se zaštititi kožu oko noktiju s kakvom peel off bazom. Nemate je? Nije bed, napraviti je možete za čitavu minutu, provjerite kako ovdje.

Gradient can be really messy, so it's better to protect your fingers with some peel off base. You don't have it? No problem, see how you can fix that here.

 

Najbolju izmješanost boja pri gradijentu dobijete ako ih nanesete na podlogu, pa tek onda skupite spužvicom. 

The best way to create good looking gradient is to lay the polishes on some plastic surface, and then dab the sponge in it.

Vidite, savršeno izblendano. Sad to treba prenijeti na nokte. Spužvicu pri tom možete lagano pomicati gore-dolje.

See, perfectly blended. Now you have to transfer that on your nails. The sponge can be moved in slightly up and down motions.

Prsti super izgledaju, zar ne, mogla bih ih i ovako ostaviti.

My fingers looks great, right!? I could just leave it this way.

Nakon odrađivanja gradijenta zaštita može dolje.

After you're done with the gradient, you can peel off your protection.

Možda bi je ipak bilo bolje ostaviti i za vrijeme štambiljanja.

Maybe it would be better to leave it during stamping too.

Za dojam morske pjene poslužio mi je uzorak s Konadove pločice m70. Ukoliko nemate ovaj, ili neki sličan uzorak, lako bi se dalo napraviti par valića uz pomoć tankog kista i bijele boje.

Na koncu Vam je ostalo nabaciti još kakav prigodan ukras, školjkicu ili biser koji je slučajno izgubila te zaštititi sve nadlakom.

For sea foam I used the pattern from Konad m70 stamping plate. If you don't have this one, or something similar, you could easily create few waves with thin brush and white color.

At the end, you may add some nail decorations, I used tiny shells and pearls. The final step is to protect everything with topcoat.

 

Tu su i moje slatke bočice kojima sam se poslužila ovaj put. Vaš izbor može biti drugačiji, ali trebao bi biti sličan.

Što kažete, hoćete li probati kreirati nešto slično?

These are my dear bottles that served me so well in this manicure. Your choice can be different, but has to be similar.

What say you, will you try to recreate it?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana
