Cats on a Perfect Day

Hi there!

NYC Perfect Day, two coats, no topcoat, outside / dva sloja, bez nadlaka, vani

What you see is NYC 'Perfect Day', lovely pastel blue creme. The formula of this polish is pretty much the same as the rest of pastel colors - bit on a thicker side, and it misses that self-leveling quality you'll found in most creme nail polishes. If that really bothers you - this problem can be solved with topcoat, so in my book, this is not a problem at all, especially when it comes to such a beautiful color. What can I say, Tanja knows my taste too well . This is my first NYC polish, the bottle holds 9,7 ml, the brush is medium wide, and drying time nice. And as you can probably guessed, I love the color .

Ovo što vidite na fotkama se odaziva na ime NYC 'Perfect Day', krasan pastelno-plavi krem lak. Formula mu je ista kao i kod većine pastelnih bojica - nešto gušći, i nedostaju mu onaj samoravnajući finiš koji ćete naći kod većine krem lakova. Ukoliko Vam to baš smeta, problem se riješi uz pomoć nadlaka, pa, što se mene tiče, to i nije baš neki problem, naročito ako je u pitanju ovako krasna bojica. Što da kažem,  Tanja predobro poznaje moj ukus . Ovo je moj prvi NYC lak, u bočici je 9,7 ml tekućine, četkica je srednje široka, a vrijeme sušenja baš ugodno. I kao što vjerojatno pogađate, krasna mi je boja .

Fairies in town... with Santa on watch

Hi my friends!

This post waited too long to see the light of day.... finally, here it is.
I know that Christmas time is long time gone now. I totally forgot about these cute stickers:
Ovaj post je predugo čekao da vidi svjetlo dana... evo ga, konačno.
Znam da je Božić već odavo iza nas. Sasvim sam zaboravila na ove naljepnice:

 

They are from KKCenterhk online store. I thought that putting them on a neutral or nude polish would be good idea, so that's what I did. Unfortunately, outside was dark so the pics are taken inside, under artificial light, which is not flattery to my poor skin... but, you get the picture. 

Naljepnice su iz KKCenterhk online trgovine. Mislila sam da bi bila dobra ideja staviti ih na neutralnu pozadinu pa sam to i napravila. Na nesreću, vani je već bio mrak pa su fotke poslikane unutra, pod umjetnim svjetlom koje baš i ne laska mojoj jadnoj koži... ali, vidjet ćete već.

The stickers are quite cute. All you have to do is put them on your nails, and sealed with top coat. Instant nail art in a minute . Lots of Santas, Christmas trees, balloons and moon with stars on it. They suppose to glow in the dark, but I don't have a photo to prove it... I forgot about that part .
You can buy them here, for 3,50 $. Do it right now, be ready for next Christmas .
I also got this image plate.
Naljepnice su baš slatke. Sve što trebate napraviti je da ih stavite na nalakiran nokat i osigurate nadlakom. Instant nail art u minuti . Brdo Djedica, božićnih drvca, balona i mjeseca sa zvijezdama je na njima. Trebale bi svjetliti u mraku, ali nemam fotku kao dokaz... na taj dio sam sasvim zaboravila . Možete ih kupiti tu, za 3,50 $. Učinite to odmah, budite spremne za idući Božić .
Dobila sam i ovu pločicu.

It's stamping image plate B20, with cute fairy and some flowers. Check out what I've done with it.

To je pločica za štambiljanje B20, s vilom i cvijećem. Pogledajte što sam napravila s njom.

First three pictures from this series are taken in the sun, the last two in the shade. I made purple glitter to blue gradient, then stamped the pattern with white polish... but couldn't resist to add some gold sparkles on fairies wings. Too many sparkles, this manicure was almost impossible to capture it.... but I love the way it looks .

To get fairy plate you need to go here , it can be yours for 5,05 $. While you're there, check the other nail art items, I'm sure anyone can found something for himself. Please don't forget to use my nailcrazy69 code to get 10 % off. 

Do you believe in fairies, have you ever seen one? On nails, at least .

Prve tri fotke iz ove serije su poslikane na suncu, zadnje dvije u sjeni. Napravila sam plavo-ljubičasti gradijent s glitterom, a onda i ispečatirala uzorak s bijelim lakom... ali nisam mogla odoljeti pa sam dodala i malo vilinskog praha na vilina krila. Previše blještavo, manikura je bila skoro pa nemoguća za poslikati... ali sviđa mi se kako izgleda .

Pločicu ćete naći tu, vaša je za 5,05 $. Kad ste već tamo, obavezno provjerite i druge stvarčice za nail art, sigurna sam da svatko tamo može pronaći nešto za sebe. Nemojte, molim vas, zaboraviti iskoristiti moj nailcrazy69 kod za 10 % popusta.

Vjerujete li vi u vile, jeste ikad vidjele koju? Bar na noktima .

Love, Žana

Born Pretty Store stamping image plate CK-04

Hi my friends!

It's stamping time! I have one of big plates from Bornpretty Store, CK-04 by KandNail, with double sided stamper. Here's the plate:
Vrijeme za pečatiranje! Imam jednu od velikih ploča iz Bornpretty Store-a, CK-04 by KandNail, s dvostranim pečatom. Evo ploče:

... and here comes the stamper with scraper:

... a evo nam i pečata sa strugalicom:

Before starting to use plate, you have to remove the protective foil.

Prije upotrebe ploče, ne bi bilo loše odstraniti zaštitnu foliju.

And here's this double stamper comparing with one from Konad.

Evo i pečata u usporedbi s Konadovim.

Bigger side of double stamper is as big as on Konad's stamper...

Veća strana ovog duplog pečata je velika kao i ona na Konadovom pečatu...

while the other one is smaller, for easier placing of smaller designs. 

dok je drugi prilično manji, za lakše smještanje manjih uzoraka.

This is the scraper comparing with the one from Konad, which I strongly recommend not to use it.

Evo i strugalice s onom od Konada, a ja najtoplije preporučam da ne koristite ni jednu ni drugu.

These are much better solutions. Why? Because of this:

Ovo su puno bolja rješenja. Zašto? E pa zbog ovog:

On upper phoro is my very first Konad plate... all scratched from Konad scraper. On lower photo is plate with my favorite design, looks brand new because I stop using metal scraper and switch to plastic one... or an old credit card.

Na gornjoj fotki je moja prva Konad pločica... sva izgrebana od Konadove strugalice. Na donjoj fotki je pločica s mojim najdražim dizajnom, izgleda sasvim nova jer sam odustala od metalnih strugalica i prebacila se na plastičnu... ili na staru karticu. 

First thing I've noticed about this plate is, of course, the size. It looks so small! This is it with Dashica's big plate SdP-I, which has the same number of patterns. 

Prva stvar koju sam primjetila u svezi pločice je, naravno, veličina. Izgleda tako mala! Evo je s Dashicinom pločom SdP-I, koja ima isti broj uzoraka. 

This is stamping on paper... I know it's messy, I've really tried, this was the third paper, but I must draw line somewhere. Because the patterns are so close to each other the stamper gets the ones around one you want... other than that, all the patterns are working, even the ones with tiniest lines. I thought I'll have problem with stamping the designs, because they really look so small, but here's the surprise - my nail plate is also small! Ok, my nails are short at the time, but I can't help it. Only nails on middle finger and on the thumb needed to be stamped twice, I even turned the pattern for better result. 

Ovo su bili otisci na papiru... znam da je neuredno, stvarno sam se trudila, ovo je već treći papir ali negdje sam morala stati. Zato jer su uzorci tako blizu jedni drugima stamper uhvati i susjede od onog kojeg želite... osim toga, svi uzorci se otiskuju bez problema, čak i oni s najtanjim linijama. Mislila sam da ću baš zbog veličine imati problema s pečatiranjem, ali eto iznenađenja - većina ploča nokta kod mene su zbilja  male! Još su mi nokti kratki, ali tu sad nema pomoći. Samo nokti na srednjaku i palcu zahtijevali su dupli otisak, čak sam i okrenula uzorak da bi to izgledalo bolje.

These leafs are one of the most beautiful patterns on this plate, such a delicate lines, love it .

Ovo lišće je jedan od najljepših uzoraka na ploči, i tako finih linja, obožavam ga .

See, the pattern on the middle ring is rotated and stamped twice, otherwise it would be too small.

Vidite, uzorak na srednjaku je zarotiran i oštampan dva puta, inaće bi bio premalen.

This one is a bit smeared, but you won't mind, wont you .
Ovaj je zamrljan, ali neće vam previše smetati, nadam se .

To conclude: although this plate and patterns on it looks small, if you have small nail plate it'll fit you. But if you have long nails, and you don't want to bother with double stamping on one nail, you better skip this one. The double sided stamper is awesome, especially when you have smaller pattern, it's so much easier to place them exactly where you want. As for scraper... I strongly recommend you to use plastic instead metal, that will keep your image plates in better condition. 

Tell me what you think, do you stamp your nails at all?

I da zaključim: iako i ploča i uzorci zbilja izgledaju mali, sitnijim noktima će pristajati. Ali ako imate duge nokte, i ne želite se zamarati duplim pečatiranjem na jednom noktu, možda bi bilo bolje da ovo preskočite. Dvostruki pečat je jako praktičan, naročito kad želite sitniji uzorak smjestiti baš tamo gdje vi želite. Što se tiče strugalice... savjetujem vam da koristite plastični umjesto metalnog, to će sačuvati vaše pločice u boljem stanju.

A što vi mislite, kakva su vaša iskustva s pečatiranjem?

Till we meet again, keep those nails polished, Žana
