Matching Manicure Sunday - Galaxy

Hi there!

Misslyn Galaxy Nails

Hi there!

Recently I got sweet surprise from Misslyn Hrvatska. It was the complete limited edition called 'galaxy nails' .

Nedavno me Misslyn Hrvatska razveselio slatkim iznenađenjem. Poslali su mi kompletnu limitiranu kolekciju 'galaxy nails' .

Blue or green? Or both?

Hi there!

Sometimes even the simplest decision, like should I wear blue or green polish, are impossible to make. Good thing is - we can always compromise .

Koji put su i najjednostavnije odluke, poput one da li se odlučiti za zeleni ili plavi lak, zbilja nemoguće za donijeti. Srećom, uvijek možemo pronaći kompromis .

I love the way this turned out! How can you make it? Quite simple, paint your nails with blue polish, then sponge randomly with some sparkly green, at the and do more sponging with lighter shade of blue and, of course, finish with topcoat. Isn't the sponge great invention!?

Skroz mi se sviđa kako je ovo ispalo! A kako ćete vi napraviti nešto slično? Ma jednostavno, nalakirajte nokte plavim lakom, onda nasumično naspužvajte svjetlucavog zelenka, pa još malo spužvanja sa svjetlijom nijansom plave, i naravno, završite s nadlakom. Zar spužva nije super izum!?

A bit of sponging, a bit of stamping

Hi there!

This gorgeousness is Eveline 808 from 'miniMAX' line, lovely greenish pastel color. On pics you see two coats, no topcoat. Pictures were taken 24 hours after I applied the polish, even with all the things I've done it looks perfect! It's well pigmented, drying time is pretty decent, the brush won't give you any problems... great polish indeed. This afternoon I had some free time so I sit and played with my polishes. First I sponged a bit of Eveline 810 from the same line across the middle of my nails, then added some stamping, with fauxnad plate m78 bought on Born Pretty Store site quite some time ago, and Pastel 74 nail polish. Here is the final result, which I absolutely love:

Ova krasota je Eveline 808 iz 'miniMAX' linije, krasna pastelna zelena bojica. Na fotkama su dva sloja, bez nadlaka. Fotke su snimljene 24 sata nakon što sam nalakirala nokte, i uz sve ono što sam za to vrijeme radila lak još izgleda savršeno! Dobro je pigmentiran, vrijeme sušenja je skroz pristojno, četkica vam sigurno neće praviti probleme... ma super lakec! Poslijepodne sam uhvatila vremena za sebe pa sam sjela za stolić s lakovima. Prvo sam spužvicom preko sredine noktiju dodala malo Eveline 810 iz iste linije, a onda još i pečatirala s fauxnad pločicom m78, koju sam prije prilično vremena kupila na Born Pretty Store situ, i Pastel lakom #74. Evo konačnog rezultata koji se meni jako svidio.

What do you think?

Što vi kažete?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

p.s. here's the reason why I keep myself away from polishes, this is the thermometer above my desk with polishes

p.s. evo razloga zbog kojeg baš i nemam volje lakirati nokte, ovo čudo je poviše mog stolića s lakovima

Reto 2013 - Inspired by Water

Hi there!

My last manicure was too sweet, so I didn't want to remove it . But it's time for new one.
Zadnja mi je manikura bila preslatka pa mi se nije dalo mijenjati ju . Ali vrijeme je za novu.

This is my water manicure. I thought about it from monday... all I could think is to be under water, swimm, dive, make bubbles and let my soul feast from all that blue around me, feeling nothing but peace, feel like one of the nature's creature. Oh boy, I wish I was in the sea now .
I started with two coats of China Glaze 2nite, than did some sponging with Essence 'choose me!', baby blue franken, China Glaze aquadelic and Flormar Graffiti #01. At the end I stamped bubble design from KKcenterhk.com image plate B20. The only thing left is to clean cuticles and put topcoat. By the time I finished, there was already dark outside, so we're all stuck with the pics of manicure under artificial light. Really guys, it looks so much better live.
By the way, today we have a sunny day, after... it's raining here, it seems like century already . So, your favorite nail polish addict finally spent the whole day out .... and while having fun broke one or her nails ... but I still have nine of them .
Ovo bi bila moja vodena manikura. Razmišljala sam o njoj od ponedjeljka... i sve što mi je padalo na pamete je želja da budem pod vodom, ronim, plivam, pravim mjehuriće i pustim da mi se duša napuni svim tim plavetnilom oko mene, osjećajući samo mir, osjećajući se dijelom prirode. Ajme, sad bi valjalo biti pod morem .
Započela sam s dva sloja China Glaze 2nite, spužvom dodala malo Essence choose me, baby blue frankena, China Glaze aquadelic i Flormar Graffiti #01. Na kraju sam dodala i mjehuriće s KKcenterhk.com pločice B20. Jedino što je preostalo je očistiti zanoktice i dodati nadlak. Dok sam završila vani je već bio mrak, tako da smo zaglavili s fotkama pod umjetnom rasvjetom. Ali stvarno, ovo uživo izgleda puno bolje. 
I samo da znate, nakon... nemam pojma koliko vremena, čini mi se da kiša pada već čitavo stoljeće imali smo sunčan dan, pa je vaša omiljena lakoholičarka čitav dan provela vani ... i zabavljajući se slomila nokat ... srećom, imam ih još 9 .

Thanks for stopping by, Žana

4 Elements Nail Challenge - Air

Hi my friends!

Today I'm gonna escape from Halloween themes... but I'll stick with blue tones . My very first association on word 'air' is clear blue sky, ok, I'll allow a few fluffy, but strictly pure white clouds - as simple as that! So is my manicure.
Danas malo bježim od Halloweenskih tema... ali još se uvijek držim plavih tonova . Prvo što mi padne na pamet kad čujem riječ 'zrak' je čisto plavo nebo, ok, dozvoljavam i koji pahuljasti ali čisto bijeli oblačak - tako jednostavno! Takva je i moja manikura.

I'm sorry only that it's too late for outside pics, I've been busy all day, running here and there... but these will have to do. It's a change after all those darker manicures, and I absolutely love it! Hope you'll feel the same . For curious among you, I used 3 blue shades, white nail polish and a piece of sponge for this manicure.    
I'll be checking what the other participants from this challenge have done... you may do the same.
Žao mi je jedino što nisam stigla fotke poslikati vani jer je već debelo mrak. Bila sam zauzeta čitav dan, trčanjem 'vamo i tamo... ali morat ćemo se zadovoljiti s ovim. Nije loše, malo promjene i odmaka od svih onih tamnijih manikura, i baš mi se sviđa! Nadam se da će i vama . A za one redoznale, koristila sam 3 plave nijanse i jedan bijeli lak kao i komadić spužve za manikuru. 
A sad odoh provjeriti što su druge cure napravile s ovim izazovom... slobodno mi se pridružite.

One more thing... please scroll down to see this gorgeous guy in background! This photo was taken by Stephen Baird from Nikon Sniper blog, and he was super sweet and allowed me to use it, thanks Steve once more! Just be sure to check his blog, his pictures are so unbelievably awesome in every way!
I još jedna sitnica... molim vas spustite se na dno bloga da vidite ovog fantastičnog momka u pozadini! Ova je fotografija djelo Stephena Bairda s Nikon Sniper bloga, koji je bio tako ljubazan pa mi dozvolio da je koristim, hvala Steve još jednom! Obavezno provjerite njegov blog, fotografije su mu nevjerojatno dobre u svakom pogledu!

Till we meet again, keep those nails polished, Žana

Halloween Nail Art Challenge - Bat

Hi my friends!

Everything is crystal clear from the title of this post... so, let's see what have I done this time.
Sve je već jasno iz naslova posta... pa da vidimo što sam ovaj put napravila.

This time I choose the easier way and used stamping instead of drawing those bats. Not bad at all, I'm happy with this manicure. And these are my little helpers...

Ovaj put sam izabrala lakši put i umjesto crtanja odlučila se za pečatiranje. Nije loše, ovaj put sam zadovoljna s manikurom. A evo i mojih pomagača:

That cow in the background is keeping my coffee .

I like bats! When I was younger, I wanted one for pet... but it was impossible to get some . One of my coworkers lived in the old part of town, in old stone house, and she had bats in chimney... oh boy, I was so jealous! Most people hates or are afraid of the bats... I don't see any reason for it, although they can bring rabies, but so can your neighbor's dog. There's more than 1100 species of bats, and they are the only mammals that can fly. Gotta envy them on that, just a little . They have only one baby pro year, and can live up to 30 years. Really fascinating creatures!
Ova slatka kravica u pozadini čuva moju kavu .
Volim šišmiše! Kad sam bila mlađa sanjala sam o tome da ga imam za ljubimca... ali bilo ga je nemoguće nabaviti . Jedna od mojih kolegica s posla živjela je u starom dijelu grada, u prastaroj kamenoj kući i imala je šišmiše u dimnjaku... joj, kako sam bila ljubomorna! Većina ljudi ili mrzi ili se boji šišmiša... ne vidim nekog logičnog razloga osim što vas mogu zaraziti bjesnoćom, ali može i susjedov pas. Postoji čak više od 1100 vrsta šišmiša i jedini su sisavci koji mogu letjeti. Ma morate im zavidjeti na tome, barem malo . Imaju samo jedno mlado godišnje, a mogu živjeti čak do 30 godina. Zbilja fascinantna stvorenja!
