Matching Manicure Sunday #26 - Vintage Manicure

Hi there!

I thought of skipping this round, because I woke up this morning with horrifying headache . The sunny day outside, coffee, not even the pills... nothing helped, nothing worked. But instead of giving up, I sit down at my polishing desk, start to thinking which polishes I could use, and what to do. So I just unplugged myself from the world. After maybe an hour, when my manicure was done, I realized that my headache is gone too . Who said nail art isn't good for nothing !?

Mislila sam da ću preskočiti ovu rundu jer sam se jutros probudila s užasnom glavoboljom . Krasan sunčan dan, kavica, tuširanje, čak ni tableta... ništa nije pomoglo. Ali umjesto da odustanem, ipak sam sjela za svoj stolić za lakiranje, i pokušavala smisliti što da napravim, koje lakove da upotrijebim. I tako sam se sasvim isključila od svijeta. Nakon nekih sat vremena, kad je manikura bila gotova, shvatila sam da je i glavobolja otišla . Pa nek' mi netko kaže da nail art nije ni za što !

Roses are (not) red, thanks for being my friend

Hi there!

Here's one of those polishes who's being waiting from last summer... poor little polish, all forgotten .  Luckily, he wasn't alone . He's name is Depend, Depend 041.

Evo jednog od lakića koji čeka čak od prošlog ljeta... jadničak mali, tako zaboravljen . Srećom, nije bio sam . Njegovo je ime Depend, Depend 041.

On pics I'm wearing three coats, no topcoat. The formula is kinda watery, first coat is super transparent... I can't even imagine how many layers would need someone with long nails. The brush is ok, color is great - deep blue with tons of shimmer in it, drying time... I'm not sure about it, maybe it's this polish, maybe it's my new topcoat. I'm wearing it for a few hours and already having visible  tipwear . In this case, I'm glad that polish is in tiny bottle of only 5 ml. Don't get me wrong, it's not that bad, I really love the color, but I just expected more. 

My best friend is having a birthday today, so, instead of buying her roses, I'm wearing them on my nails . 

Na fotkama imam tri sloja, bez nadlaka. Formula je vodenasta, prvi sloj razočaravajuće proziran... ne mogu niti zamisliti koliko bi slojeva trebao netko s iole duljim noktima. Četkica je ok, boja mi je super - modra s tonom shimmera, vrijeme sušenja... za ovo nisam sigurna, ne znam jel' do laka ili novog nadlaka. Nosim ga tek par sati a već imam izlizane vrhove . U ovom slučaju mi uopće nije žao što je lak u sićušnoj bočici od 5 ml. Nije on baš tako loš, bojica mi je super, ali sam jednostavno očekivala više.

Moja najbolja frendica ima rođendan danas, pa umjesto da joj kupim ruže, nosit ću ih na noktima .

This silver acrylic paint is such a disappointment,it's weakly pigmented so you have to do every stroke at least twice. That's my excuse for bad performance . 

Anyway, Zdravka happy birthday... and thanks for sticking with me for more than 20 years .

Srebrna akrilna bojica je strava loša, tako je slabo pigmentirana da morate svaki potez ponavljati barem dva puta. Eto isprike za lošu izvedbu .

Nego, Zdravka sretan ti rođendan... i hvala što si sa mnom već dulje od 20 godina .

Thanks for stopping by, Žana

p.s. almost forgot, I decided to reward the person which left most comments here. Through july, 89 of you left more than 300 comments, thanks each and every of you . Most of them were by Tina, so she'll be receiving this small award - essence 'glam! click & go nails', Avon nail polish 'cosmic blue' and Avon eyeshadow 'nutmeg shimmer' - everything new and unpacked.
p.s. skoro zaboravih, odlučila sam nagraditi onog od vas koji je ostavio najviše komentara.  Tokom lipnja, vas 89 je ostavilo preko 300 komentara, a najviše od njih od Tine pa će ona dobiti ovih par sitnica - essence 'glam! click & go nails', Avonov lak 'cosmic blue' i Avonovo sjenilo 'nutmeg shimmer' - sve novo i (skoro) neraspakirano.

On a Sunday morning...

Hi my friends!

So, time for another manicure. I decided for a lovely deep blue color, my newest eBay catch.
Vrijeme je za novu manikuru. Odlučila sam se za tamno plavog ljepotana, moj posljednji eBay ulov.

It  supposed to be a magnetic polish, but the effect is hardly visible . Never the less, I love the color, and it's one coater, so I'll be wearing it after all . Having this lovely color on my nails and thinking what should I put it over it, Tatjana's manicure instantly came to my mind. She's the person that really deserves your attention, check her blog. This is my version, not as great as hers, but please, be gentle with me .
Ovo bi trebao biti magnetni lakić, ali efekt je jedva vidljiv . Nije važno, boja mi se baš sviđa, a dovoljan je jedan sloj pa ću ga se ipak nanosati . Imajući ovu krasnu boju na noktima i misleći se što bih još mogla dodati, Tatjanina manikura mi je odmah pala na pamet. Ova cura stvarno zaslužuje više pažnje, posjetite njen blog. Ovo je moja verzija, ne tako dobra kao njena, molim, budite nježne sa mnom .

The one on the middle finger was the first one, and that one looks the best... but when I have a nail art brush in my hand, there's no stopping until all the nails are painted . And I must say - it really looks so much better from the distance. I painted with nail polishes, because I don't have silver acrylic paint and I didn't want to mix acrylic paints with nail polishes. 

On the other hand funny thing happened...

Prvu sam napravila ovu na srednjem prstu, i ta mi najbolje izgleda... ali kad se dohvatim kista nema stajanja dok svi nokti nisu 'pošarani' . I moram reći - stvarno puno bolje izgleda s blage udaljenosti. Crtala sam s lakovima za nokte jer nemam sivu akrilnu boju a nisam htjela mješati akrilne boje i lakove. 

A na drugoj ruci se desilo nešto ludo...

  

Since this is not my 'swatching' hand I didn't use a top coat on the blue polish. However, it was dry before I started to paint on it... after the final stroke I used a top coat... and the white color slowly changed in a light pink, crazy. I never noticed something like this before. The guilt for this lies here, I suppose:
Kako ovo inaće nije ruka za fotkanje nisam stavila nadlak nakon plavog laka. Ali, bio je suh prije no što sam počela crtati po njemu... i nakon zadnjeg poteza sam stavila nadlak... a bijela boja se polako promijenila u rozu, ludo. Nikad prije nisam primjetila nešto ovakvo. Pretpostavljam da je ovo krivac:

The label said - uv gel polish !? I didn't had any problems with drying, but maybe it would be better if it was cured under the lamp... I don't know.
What say you!?
Na naljepnici piše - uv gel lak!? Nisam imala problema sa sušenjem, ali možda bi bio bolji da je 'spržen' u uv lampi... nemam pojma.
A što vi kažete!?

Till we meet again... love, Žana
