Hi there!

Before the summer is over, I have some summer polishes to show you, and believe me when I say - there's lots of them .

Prije no što ljeto završi, potrudit ću se pokazati Vam neke od ljetnih lakića. Vjerujte mi kad Vam velim - ima ih poprilično .

Highlight of my Summer is wearing Mustache

Hi there!

Is this highlight of my summer or what!?

Možda je ovo zbilja vrhunac mog ljeta !?

Neon Skittles

Hi there!

When you want something distinctive, but you're not sure what exactly, skittles manicure is not a bad idea. I decided for neon color.

Kad želite nešto upadljivo na noktima, a baš i niste sigurne što točno, skittles manikura uopće nije loša ideja. Izbor je pao na neonce.

Trust me, this was very noticeable manicure, everyone stared at my nails . The yellow, pink and the orange color are all in three coats, over one coat of white, while green and blue are only in two coats, with no white base. Neon polishes can be tricky, they are usually transparent, dry matte and it's good idea to put white base to make them more noticeable. 

Vjerujte mi, ovo je baš upadljiva manikura, svi su mi buljili u nokte . Žuta, roza i narančasta boja su u tri sloja preko jednog sloja bijele, dok zelenoj i plavoj takva pomoć nije bila potrebna pa su ta dva laka nanešena u dva sloja, bez bijele baze. Neonci imaju naviku biti zeznuti, obićno su prozirni pa im treba više slojeva, suše se mat pa je poželjan nadlak, stoga nije loša ideja nanijeti ih preko bijele baze kako bi boje bile izražajnije. 

Here is whole bunch of polishes I used, from base coat to topcoat and cuticle oil at the end.

Do you like this kind of manicure, do you wear them?

Evo i čitave hrpe lakova koje sam koristila, od baze do nadlaka i ulja za zanoktice na kraju.

Sviđaju li vam se ovakve manikkure, nosite li ih ikada?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

Yellow on yellow

Hi there!

Few of you asked me which one is that yellow neon polish, so to indulge your curiosity, here it is.
Neke od vas su me pitale koji je ono žuti neonac, pa da vam zadovoljim znatiželju - evo ga.

I first applied two coats of Gabrini Summer Edition M103, right one on photo down bellow. Well, that was total disaster! Beside the bad smell, polish is pretty thin and to look decent it needed at least three coats... it  look bad on my skin tone so I skipped the third layer and decided to try my chance with Gabrini Neon N04 on top. Two more coats on my nails... but this time I love the final result. On pics you see four coats (as I said - two coats of  M103 and two of N04) with top coat, I wanted to be sure that all these layers will dry properly and in less than hour . 

Prvo sam krenula s dva sloja Gabrini Summer Edition M103, desna bočica na donjoj fotki. E pa to je bila baš katastrofa! Osim groznom smrada, lak je i prilično rijedak, premda tako ne izgleda u bočici, i trebala bi mu barem 3 sloja da pristojno izgleda... uglavnom, odlučila sam se nastaviti s Gabrini Neon N04. Još dva sloja neonca i manikura mi se već više sviđa. Na fotkama su dakle četiri sloja (kao što rekoh - dva M102 i dva N04) s nadlakom, jer sam htjela biti sigurna da će se svi ti slojevi osuštit bez problema i u roku kraćem od par sati .

Guess what, when polish was dry, I though it looks boring on its own so I try to draw something, quite simple and quick. 

Zamislite samo, kad se lak osušio bio mi je dosadan sam pa sam se odlučila nabaciti nešto jednostavno i na brzinu.

Love the look of it, how about you?

Meni ne izgleda loše. A kako se vama čini?

p.s. at 0:30

This design look so familiar to me, it bothered me whole day... just now I remembered Tanja did something similar here, but I know she won't be mad at me for borrowing her design . 

p.s. pola sata poslije ponoći 

Dizajn mi je izgledao poznato i to me mučilo čitav dan... tek sad, kad se spremam za spavanje, sjetila sam se da je Tanja nešto slično nedavno izvela ovdje, ali sigurna sam da se ona neće ljutiti jer sam posudila njen dizajn .  

Thanks for stopping by, Žana

You have one more day to join my giveaway, all you have to do is polish your nails and show them to me. If you entered already, please check if your entries are according to the rules, I noticed that some pics are removed so I can't see them anymore, and on some pics there's no paper saying 'for nail crazy'. Good luck!

p.s.

Imate još jedan dan vremena da se uključite u darivanje, sve što tražim od vas je da nalakirate nokte i pokažete mi ih. Ukoliko ste se već uključili, molim vas da provjerite jesu li vam svi ulazi u skladu s pravilima, primjetila sam da su neke fotke već maknute i ja ih ne mogu vidjeti, a na nekima nema papira s natpisom 'za nail crazy'. Sretno!

Reto 2013 - Inspired by your own imagination

Hi there!

Inspired by my own imagination? Really? But I feel such a lack of inspiration and imagination lately . It seems I should  begin with black color. Done... but what now? I start do draw polishes from my stash... and this is what I've done with it.
Inspirirani vlastitom maštom? Stvarno? Ali kod mene vlada totalni nedostatak inspiracije i imaginacije u posljednje vrijeme . Shodno tome, čini se najbolje započeti s crnom bojom. Sređeno... ali što sad? Počela sam izvlačiti lakove iz ladice... evo i što sam napravila s njima.

It was already dark outside and this is the only photo that looks like something... At the end this manicure looks even better then I expected. It's pretty simple, neon waves and dots on black background., but I like it. Guess my imagination is boring these days . What about yours?

Vani se već smračilo dok sam se ja smislila i ovo je jedina pristojna fotka... na kraju manikura izgleda čak i bolje no što sam očekivala. Jednostavna je, neonski valovi i točkice na crnoj pozadini, ali meni se sviđa. Čini se da mi je mašta ovih dana baš dosadna . A vaša?

Let's check it out how the imagination of other participants in this challenge looks like.

Provjerimo i kako radi mašta drugih cura koje sudjeluju u ovom izazovu.

Unsuccessful attempt to cheer myself up

Hi my friends!

Outside is cold, the northern wind is blowing... inside it's cozy. But looking through your blogs, one made me really sad, I even cried. I can't help myself, stories of animals always touch me... but I really hope that this one is going to have a happy end. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Sasha and Aishila! 

Anyway, in attempt to cheer myself I choose to polish my nails with most cheerful polish among my untried stash, I even try to draw something on it... and this is it.
Vani je baš hladno, puše bura... a unutra udobno. Šetajući kroz vaše blogove, jedan me strašno rastužio, čak i rasplakao. Ne mogu si pomoći, osjetljiva sam na životinjske patnje... ali nadam se da će ova priča ipak imati sretan kraj. Držim fige za Sashu i Aishilu!
Nego, u pokušaju da se razvedrim odlučila sam se za najvedriji lak koji čeka među neisprobanim, čak sam nešto i nacrtala... evo što.

I'm not happy with it, in any way. The branches are ugly, the flowers looks like fried eggs... and the polish, although pretty, looks awful on my nails, it just don't go with my skin tone. It's 'glamour 183' by Yolizul, orange neon jelly, on pics two coats, this is how it looks on its own.
Nisam zadovoljna s ovim, nikako. Grane su mi ružne, cvjetovi izgledaju kao frigana jaja... a lak, iako u biti lijep, užasno izgleda na mojim noktima, ne ide uz moj ten i gotovo . To je 'glamour 183' od Yolizula, narančasti jelly neonac, na fotkama dva sloja, a ovako izgleda sam.

The only good thing is that my Blogger is no longer in fight with Chrome .
What do you think about this shade, would you wear it?
Jedino dobro proizišlo iz svega ovog je da moj Blogger i Chrome više nisu u svađi .
Kako se vama čini ova nijansa, biste li ju nosili?

Till the next manicure... love, Žana

Black spots

Hi my friends!

When I saw this one, I just had to take him home with me.
Kad sam ga vidjela, znala sam da ide doma sa sobom. 
 

Would you do the same? He's Yolizul, spanish brand, glamour 185, divine green neon, two coats with topcoat on this pic.
But I felt like he's alone... so I gave him some company.

Bi li i vi napravile isto? On je Yolizul, španjolski brand, moj prvi njihov, glamour 185, božanstveni zeleni neonac, dva sloja s nadlakom na fotki.

Ali nekako mi se činio usamljen, pa sam mu dovela društvo.

 

Like it?
Sviđa vam se?

Till we meet again... love, Žana

Woo

Hi my darlings!


Današnja manikura - dva sloja Woo '606' s bijelim i crnim cjetićima... ok, cvjeće je malo preveliko i nisam primjetila nered na zanokticama dok nisam uploadala fotke, ali boja ovog laka mi je fantastična, vooooolim
Today's manicure - two coats of Woo '606' with black and white flowers... the flowers are too big and I didn't see messy cuticles until I uploaded the pictures, but the color of this polish is amazing, i love it

Što vi cure kažete na ovo?

What say you?

Till we meet again, love yourself!

Cool and the gang

Hi my darlings!


Kakav napadaj lijenosti ne lupio danas... ne da mi se niti nokte lakirati... pa danas ništa ni od pečatiranja a kamoli od nail arta, samo običan lak... ali ne jedan, već dva
Today I feel so lazy... I can hardly paint my nails... so this time no nail art, no stamping, just plain polish... and not just one, but two of them

Na suncu... djeluje malo prozirno
On the sun... it still looks a bit sheer

... ali u sjeni izgleda sasvim ok. Bijela stvar na zanokticama su ostaci kreme
... but in shadow it looks quite fine. White stuff on my cuticles is cream

Ova fantastična modra je 'cool and the gang' od Essencea, a koralni neon je 'Cosmo shop #011'. 'Cool and the gang' je skoro najsavršenija boja u essenceovom asortimanu, malo je proziran pa su mi trebala 3 sloja, suši se prilično brzo, ali strašno razočaranje je njegova četkica - definitivno najgora od Essencea do sada
Šteta, inače bi ovaj lak bio savršen, modri lakovi su mi slaba točka a ovaj je... wow.
'Cosmo shop #011' je koraljni neonac, super pokrivan sa 2 sloja, prilično se brzo suši... i četkica je ok, za razliku od one iz 'cool and the gang'. Ovo mi je prvi susret s ovom turskom markom, do sada nisam niti čula za ove lakiće ali sad mi je drago što se našao u mojim zalihama.
This gorgeous blue shade is 'cool and the gang' from Essence, and coral neon is 'Cosmo shop #011'. 'Cool and the gang' is almost the most perfect color from essences range, it's a bit sheer, so I needed 3 coats, it dries pretty fast, but the major disappointment about this polish is its brush - definitely the worst from Essence . Too bad, otherwise this polish would be perfect, you know I'm a sucker for dark blue shades and this one is ... wow.

'Cosmo shop #011' is neon coral polish, perfect cover after 2 coats, dries pretty fast too... and the brush is just good  , unlike the one from 'cool and the gang'. It's some turkish brand, I never even heard about it till now, but now I'm glad I did. 


S drugačijim lakom na kojem noktu, manikura odmah nije obična, jel' da  
With the accent nails the mani doesn't look so ordinary, agree

Till we meet again, love yourself!
