Matching Manicure Sunday - Dry Marble

Hi there!

I guess you all know the 'dry (or needle) marble' technique. With this technique you can create all kind of wonders... well, if you have steady hand. Here's what I came up with:

Pretpostavljam da sve znate za tehniku suhog (ili uz pomoć igle) mramora. S ovom tehnikom možete stvoriti razne vrste čuda... pa, ako imate mirnu ruku. Evo što sam za danas smislila:

5 stars manicure

Hi there!

I have to show you that gorgeous green that I was wearing on my tips in gradient manicure the other day.

Moram vam pokazati prekrasnog zelembaća kojeg sam nosila na vrhovima u zadnjoj gradijent manikuri.

See, I told you it's really an awesome shade! I'm absolutely mesmerized by it . BeYu polishes don't have names but numbers (really, is that hard to came up with some name?), bottle contains 8 ml, brush is medium wide and it doesn't make you any problems while polishing... it applies just great, drying time is pretty decent too... on pics you see - as usual, two coats with no topcoat. This polish deserve 5 stars! You know what - I have stars for it! And heart too! Almost forgot, this is shade #147.

Rekla sam vam da je boja fantastična! Totalno sam opčinjena njime . BeYu lakići nemaju imena nego brojeve (stvarno, pa nije valjda takav problem smisliti kakvo ime?), u bočici je 8 ml laka, četkica je srednje širine i s njom nećete imati nikakvih problema... nanosi se super, čak je i vrijeme sušenja pristojno... na fotkama su - uobićajeno, dva sloja bez nadlaka. Ovaj lak zaslužuje 5 zvjezdica! I znate što - baš ih i imam! I srce! I skoro zaboravih, ovo je nijansa #147.

You must admit that my Gricko also deserve 5 stars and heart, he's the best . Stars and heart are made of metal, and they came from KKCenterhk online shop. I had no problems with stars, they are pretty tiny so you can put them where ever you like... but not the heart shaped studs. Heart is a bit bigger, I tried to curve it but without any success, so I put a lot of topcoat under neat to fulfill the gap. I just washed my dishes, so I guess this manicure is success after all . These studs came in a convenient plastic wrap with zipper, package as usual for KKCenterhk. 

Morate priznati da i moj Gricko zaslužuje svih 5 zvjezdica i srce, duša je od muceka . Zvjezdice i srce su načinjeni od metala, stigli su sa KKCenterhk online shopa. Sa zvjezdicama nije bilo problema, sitne su pa ih možete staviti gdje god želite... ali ne i srce. Srce je veće, probala sam ga i savinuti no ne ide, pa sam stavila obilat sloj nadlaka pod njega da ispunim prazninu. Baš sam i suđe oprala pa izgleda da je manikura ipak uspjela . Zakovice su došle u zgodnim plastičnim kesicama s patentom, pakiranje uobičajeno za KKCenterhk.

Heart shaped studs you can found here, stars studs here. While you're there, check out their nail art section, there's really a tons of articles there! And don't forget to use my nailcrazy69 code for 10% off!

Hi there!

Last month I bought too many polishes... that means that some of them I can share with you . Let's see what we have here:
Prošli mjesec sam kupila previše lakova za nokte... to samo znači da ću neke od njih rado podijeliti s vama . Da vidimo što sve imamo tu:

One of you will get:

BeYu nail polish in shades #115 (bright red), #159 (taupe) and #344 (gold) with BeYu palette 'Fun & Style Quattro Eyeshadow' #56,

China Glaze texture nail polish 'unrefined',

Catrice nail polish 'Run Forest Run!'

and Essence Color & go 'the boy next door' nail polish.

All of these are bought by me, everything new and unopened (except of China Glaze 'unrefined' which you already saw, I wear it on two nails... sorry, I couldn't help myself). 

Jedna od vas će dobiti:
BeYu lakiće za nokte u nijansama #115 (žarkocrvena), #159 (taupe - šućmurastobućkasta nijansa) i #344 (zlatna) te BeYu paleticu 'Fun & Style Quattro Eyeshadow' # 56,
China Glaze texture lak 'unrefined',
Catrice lak za nokte 'Run Forest Run!'
i Essence Color & Go 'the boy next door'.
Sve ovo kupih sama, sve je novo i neotvoreno (osim China Glaze 'unrefined' kojeg ste već vidjeli, nosila sam ga na dva nokta... stvarno mi je žao, ali bilo je jače od mene, nisam si mogla pomoći).

But this time you'll have to do something for me . I would really love to see your nails, surprise me! You don't need to do any nail art, nothing fancy, I just want to see your nails painted in what ever style or color you like, with your analog signature. Write 'for nail crazy' on piece of paper and include that in your picture. Your photos must be online, I recommend ImageShack or some similar program, and you have to include the link of the photo in the form bellow. If you have any doubts or problems how to do this, let me know, I'll be glad to help you, but I'm sure the majority of you knows how to put a photo online. 

I need to know your name, your home address , photo of your nails and that's it! Winner will be chosen by mr. Random.
Good luck to you all, hope to see a lot of lovely manicures!
Ali ovog puta tražim da vi nešto napravite za mene . Stvarno bih voljela vidjeti vaše nokte, iznenadite me! Ne tražim nikakav nail art, ništa strašno teško, samo želim vidjeti vaše nokte nalakirane kako god vam drago i u kojoj god boji želite, zajedno s analognim potpisom. Napišite 'za nail crazy' na komadu papira i uklopite ga u fotku. Fotku ćete staviti online, preporučam ImageShack ili kakav sličan program, a link na fotku unesite u obrazac dolje. Ukoliko imate kakvih dilema ili problema oko ovog, slobodno se javite, bit će mi drago da vam pomognem, ali sam uvjerena da većina vas zna kako staviti fotku online.
Trebat će mi vaše ime, adresa , fotka vaših noktića i to je to! Pobjednika/cu će odabrati mr. Random.
Sretno vam svima, nadam se hrpi zgodnih manikura!

Thanks for stopping by, Žana

From turquoise to green

Hi there!

In my corner of the world it's finally a bit colder, so we can all rest from those dreadful heat... and the summer is approaching . Never mind, I can always sit in the shade and paint my nails . These were painted yesterday, something simple and quick.

U mom 'kantunu' svijeta konačno je malo zahladilo, pa se možemo odmoriti od strašnih vrućina... a ljeto nam se približava . Nema veze, uvijek se mogu uvaliti u hlad i lakirati nokte . Ove sam nalakirala jučer, nešto jednostavno i brzo. 

I painted my nails with Deborah pret a porter nail polish in 'turquoise fever' shade. Lovely color, waiting patiently among my untried from last summer. Later I made gradient using this polish and BeYu #147, one of the prettiest green I own. 'Turquoise fever' on its own looks like this:

Nalakirala samo nokte s Deborah pret a porter lakićem u nijansi 'turquoise fever'. Lijepa boja, čekala je strpljivo među mojim neisprobanim lakovima od prošlog ljeta. Kasnije sam dodala gradijent koristeći njega i BeYu #147, jednu od najljepših zelenih koje imam. 'Turquoise fever' sam izgleda ovako:

First two pics are taken in the sun, the last two in the shade.

As usually, I wear two coats with no topcoat. Only 4,5 ml in this bottle, medium wide brush which is very easy to use, drying time is ok, formula is nice, covers perfectly after two coats. Love the color!

I tried to do some stamping on gradient, to spice up the manicure even more... but that was fail.

Prve dvije fotke sa sunca, zadnje dvije u hladu.

Kao i obićno, nosim dva sloja laka bez nadlaka. Samo su 4,5 ml u bočici, četkica je srednje širine i laka za korištenje, vrijeme sušenja ok, formula pristojna, super pokriva nakon dva sloja. Krasna bojica!

Dodala sam i stamping, da još malo začinim manikuru... ali to je već bio promašaj.

I used Konad plate m73, but this design is too wide for my nails and it doesn't look too nice. Never mind, at least I've tried. 

What do you think about subtle gradient?

Koristila sam uzorak s Konad pločice m73, ali taj je preširok za moje nokte i ne izgleda lijepo. Nema veze, bar sam probala.

Što mislite o ovakvom diskretnom gradijentu?

Pink with chocolate

Hi my friends!

Among the bunch of unpublished photos I found swatches of two polishes. Let me show them to you.
Među neobavljenim fotkama našla sam i swatcheve ova dva lakića. Dajte da vam ih pokažem.

This is BeYu 107, no name, just number . Nice, girly color, on pics two coats, no topcoat. This is my first BeYu polish, and I'm pretty pleased with the quality of it. The bottle contains 8 ml of polish, the brush is narrow but easy to work with it, although I prefer the wider and rounded brushes. Drying time was fine.
Gore ste vidjeli BeYu 107, nema imena, samo broj . Zgodna, girly bojica, na fotkama su dva sloja, bez nadlaka. Ovo je moj prvi BeYu lak, i nisam nezadovoljna s njim. Bočica drži 8 ml laka, četkica je uska ali nije problem raditi s njom, premda više volim šire i zaobljene četkice. Vrijeme sušenja je bilo pristojno.

And this is 'nutella' spread over my nails . Just kidding, this lovely autumnal color is BK 42, it suppose to be flavored nail polish, but it's not. I bought it because I thought that nails smelling like chocolate would be so fun... but, as I said, nothing like that from this polish . Never the less, it looks great! It covers perfectly in two coats, and as you can see, it's unbelievably glossy, even without a topcoat. So, I'll keep it after all. I found it on e-bay, I bought one with strawberry flavor, but that one is total disappointment. If you're looking for flavored polishes, this brand is definitely not the right one for you.

Which of these two colors you prefer on your nails?

A ovo je 'nutela' namazana preko noktiju . Šalim se, ova zgodna jesenja boja je BK 42, trebao je to biti lak s mirisom čokolate, ali nije. Uzela sam ga jer sam mislila da će biti zabavno imati nokte koji mirišu po čokoladi... ali, kao što rekoh, ništa od toga od ovog laka . Ali, bar dobro izgleda! Prekriva savršeno u dva tanja sloja, a kao što možete vidjeti, sjaji se k'o blesav, čak i bez nadlaka. Tako da ću ga ipak zadržati. Našla sam ga na e-bay-u, kupila sam jedan i s aromom jagode, ali taj je tek bio totalno razočaranje. Ako tragate za mirisnim lakovima, ovaj brand definitivno nije rješenje, vjerujte mi.

Koju od ovih nijansi bi vi radije nosile na svojim noktima?

Till we meet again... love, Žana
