Matching Manicure Sunday - Stripes

Hi there!

I had a situation with this manicure. But now we're at peace .

Bilo je problema s manikurom, toliko da sam se odlučila na drugi pokušaj. No, sad je sve puno bolje .

P2 Happy

Hi there!

All I can say in my defense is that I really love textured polishes .

Sve što mogu reći u svoju obranu je da zbilja volim lakove s teksturom  .

Happy International Women's Day

Hi there!

Do you celebrate today's holiday? If you're women, you should. Look what I got .

Slavite li današnji praznik? Ukoliko ste žena, trebale biste. Pogledajte što sam ja dobila .

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?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

My fingerprints all over...

Hi my friends!

My nautical manicure is still holding on, so I don't have a new manicure for you. Actually, I do, only not on my nails. My sister was here, and she 'used' me to do her mani, she even forced me to make her a matching ring, poor me .

Moja nautička manikura se još drži pa nemam novu manikuru za vas. Ustvari, imam, ali ne na svojim noktima. Sister mi je bila tu, iskoristila me da joj napravim novu manikuru, čak me natjerala da joj složim i odgovarajući prsten, jadna ja  .

 

The base polish is Essence 'replay', fingerprints are mine, done with acrylic paint... she now have a fingerprint on both side of her fingers .

I'm sorry I don't have more pictures, this one will have to do. Don't tell anyone, but I really don't mind to be used this way.

Za podlogu sam koristila Essenceov 'replay', otisci prstiju su moji, napravljeni akrilnom bojom... sad ima otiske na obje strane prstiju .

Žao mi je što nemam više fotki, ova će morati dostajati. Nemojte nikom reći, ali nemam ništa protiv da me se ovako iskoristi, naprotiv.

Till we meet again... Žana  

For Mare

Hi my friends!

Yey, I finally painted my nails, and I just realized how much I miss it . My nails really needed a break, they peeled and split so much, it was terrible. I used Eveline 8in 1 total action... and I really don't know what to say about it, I need to wait until this split ends grow up to tell if there's any result or benefit from it. 

But, let's move on on a nicer themes. Recently, I won awesome giveaway at Mare's blog, I showed you the prize here. She challenged me to do some manicure in colors matching the prize. So, this is my answer:

Juhuuuu, konačno sam nalakirala nokte, i shvatila kako mi je to strašno nedostajalo . Moji su nokti očajnički trebali predah, toliko su se listali da su se doslovno nestajali. Koristila sam Evelin 8u 1 total action... ne znam što da vam kažem, sačekat ću da izlistani vrhovi izrastu pa da vidimo ima li rezultata i ikakve koristi od njega. 

Nego, idemo mi na vedrije teme. Nedavno sam dobila nagradu na Marinom blogu, a nagradu sam pokazala ovdje. Ona me izazvala da napravim manikuru koja se slaže s dobitkom. E pa, evo mog odgovora:

                 

I used the watercolors technique, I found it very amusing and easy to do. If you want to try it yourself, you can see how it's done on The Polished Mommy's blog.   

So Mare, do you like it, does it match my cute vanity case? How about the rest of you, what do you think?

Poslužila sam se tehnikom vodenih bojica, baš mi je zabavna i prilično laka za napraviti. Ako se i sami želite okušati u njoj, pogledajte kako je to napravila  The Polished Mommy.

Mare moja, sviđa li ti se, slaže li se s mojim neseserićem? A što ostatak vas misli o izazovu, savladan ili ne?

Till the next polishing... love, Žana

Aquadelic

Hi my friends!

It's too late, so this one is going to be very short, but with gorgeous pics . Girls, this is 'aquadelic' by China Glaze, the color I'm planing to wear a lot this spring and summer.

Već je prilično kasno, pa će ovaj post biti kratak, ali s fantastičnim fotkama . Drage moje, ovo je 'aquadelic' od China Glaze, boja koju planiram nositi i nositi ovog proljeća i ljeta.

Two coats, no top coat, natural light but no sunshine. This polish is more vivid version of 'for Audrey'. Had no problems with application, great brush and drying time... you just have to love this one.

But... I updated it a little and made myself 'mermaid nails' with some sponging and glitters.

Dva sloja, bez nadlaka, vani ali bez sunca. Boja je nešto življa verzija 'for Audrey'. Nisam imala problema s aplikacijom, dobra četkica i vrijeme sušenja... morate ga voljeti.

Nego... malo sam ga popravila i napravila si sirenine nokte uz pomoć malo spužvanja i glittera.

Which version would you rather wear?

Koju bi vi verziju radije nosile?

Till we meet again... love, Žana 

Black & white nail challenge: Day 6

Hi my friends!

Finally, the time has arrive for a new manicure ... I'm walking around with my nails naked, that ends right now!

Today's theme is 'color base with something white' (I'm a bit late), I thought this won't look bad.
Konačno, došlo je vrijeme za novu manikuru  ... hodam okolo golih noktiju i to završava upravo sad!
Današnja tema je 'podloga u boji s nečim bijelim' (malo kasnim, pa što), mislila sam da ovo neće izgledati loše.

First two pictures taken in the shade, the last two in the sun. This absolutely divine color is turkish brand Woo, polish #606. I'm crazy for this color . Only downside is that it's one of those slow-drying polishes... but for this color, I'll forgive even that. The white one is China Glaze Snow.
Was I right, does this looks good or what?
Prve dvije fotke poslikane u hladu, zadnje dvije na suncu. Ova apsolutno božanstvena boja je turski brand Woo, broj 606. Ma luda sam za ovom bojom . Jedina mana mu je što je jedan od onih sporosušećih... ali ovakvoj boji nema što ne bih oprostila. Bijelac je China Glaze Snow.
Jesam bila u pravu, dobro izgleda?


Till the next polishing... love, Žana
