Hi there!

When you don't have the time for nail art, but want something more than just a polish, water decals are very clever solution. They come in different sizes, colors and models, so there's no worry that you won't be able to found something for yourself.

If you ask me - water decals are the only stickers that are worth bothering. They're flexible, can be placed where ever you want, and they usually last longer than polishes. 

Kad nemate vremena za nail art, a htjele biste nešto više od samog laka, vodene naljepnice su najpametnije rješenje. Dolaze u različitim veličinama, bojama i oblicima, pa nema bojazni da nećete naći nešto po vlastitom ukusu.

Ukoliko mene pitate, vodene naljepnice su i jedine vrijedne pažnje. Fleksibilne su, možete ih smjestiti gdje god želite, a traju i nakon što se lak pohaba.

Matching Manicure Sunday #18 - Animal Print

Hi there!

If you know where to look, you'll see a bunch of wild animals today. Mine's the the fastest of them all .

Ukoliko znate gdje gledati, vidjet ćete prilično divljih živuljki danas. Moja je najbrža  .

Meow manicure

Hi there!

This is a post that I planned a long time ago, but never had a chance to publish it. Now it's the right time .

Evo posta kojeg planiram već neko vrijeme, ali nikako da dođe na red. Izgleda da je sad pravo vrijeme .

This, of course, is not a freehand nail art, these are water decals that I got for a review from Born Pretty Store online shop. I somehow resist the need to put here the bunch of some 20 photos, that much I was in love with this manicure. 

Everything begin like this:

Ovo, naravno, nije rukom crtan nail art, ovo su vodene naljepnice koje su na recenziju stigle s Born Pretty Store online trgovine. Nekako sam se uspjela othrvati potrebi da Vas zatrpam s barem 20 fotki, toliko sam bila oduševljena ovom manikurom. 

Počelo je ovako:

This is set of four pattern. They came in a plastic bag.

Ovo je set s četiri uzorka. Dolaze u plastičnoj vrećici.

On the back you can see the instructions. 

Na pozadini možete naći upute za uporabu. 

First thing I did, was cut the patterns. 

Prvo što sam napravila, bilo je rezanje uzoraka. 

I chose the one I want to try first, and cut them in approx shape of my nails. Before that, I removed the foil from them. 

Izabrala sam one koje sam htjela prve probati, izrezala ih u približan oblik svojih noktiju. Prethodno sam odstranila foliju s njih. 

I soak the decals in water for a half minute, then placed them on my, already polished, nails. My nails are short and narrow, so I needed to cut even more than I thought I would. Anyway, after placing the decals on my nails, I pressed them firmly for a few seconds, then with nail scissors and file removed the excess. 

Naljepnice sam na nekih pola minuta potopila u vodu, a onda ih smjestila na već nalakirane nokte. Moji su nokti kratki i uski, pa sam ih morala rezati i više no što sam mislila da budem. Nakon smještanja dobro sam ih pritisnula na par sekundi, a onda s malim makazicama i turpijom rješila višak naljepnica. 

At the end the decals looked like this. It wasn't problem to shape them, but I prefer if they were pre-cut. Only thing that I have to say, is that you need to be extra careful when you file the edges, because you can damage the decals that way. It's the best if you seal your manicure with topcoat, that way you'll prolong the durability of this decals. 

Na kraju su  naljepnice izgledale ovako. Nije bio nekakav problem oblikovati ih, premda bi meni osobno bilo draže da dolaze već izrezane. Jedino što moram napomenuti je da morate biti pažljivi dok turpijate vrh noktiju da se rješit viška naljepnice, jer ju tako možete i nehotice oštetiti. Najpoželjnije je zaštititi ih nadlakom jer na taj naćin produljujete trajanje naljepnica. 

This is what my table looked like after this work. 

Evo i radnog prostora nakon sveg ovog procesa.

I wore these decals for five days, would wore them even more, but I had something else scheduled. They look absolutely amazing, you just can't go unnoticed with something like this on your nails. They do last long, sometimes even longer than nail polish. It's not to hard to applied them, but as I said, it would be even easier if they were pre-cut. When you don't have time for nail art, this is great solution. Can wait to wear the rest of them! Removal is also a piece of cake, you just use nail polish removal, like you would do with an ordinary nail polish. You can found them here, and buy them for 3.99 $. Considering that this is a set for four full manicures, this is awesome price. While you're shopping, don't forget to use my X10X31 code for 10% off. 

What do you think of my sexy leopard patterns, like it?

Naljepnice sam nosila pet dana, nosila bih ih i dulje, ali raspored je bio takav da je to jednostavno bilo nemoguće. Super izgledaju, s nečim ovakvim na noktima definitivno nećete proći nezapaženo. Traju prilično, nerijetko i dulje od laka ispod njih. Nije nikakav problem postaviti ih, ali kao što rekoh, bilo bi i lakše da su prethodno izrezane. Kad nemate vremena ili volje za nail art, evo odličnog rješenja. Jedva čekam da i ostatak dođe na red! Odstranjivanje je isto tako bezbolno, samo upotrijebite odstranjivač laka, onako kako bi i sam lak skidali s nokta. Naći ćete ih ovdje, a možete ih kupiti za 3.99 $. S obzirom da je ovo set za četiri kompletne manikure, cijena je super. I kad već šopingirate, ne zaboravite iskoristiti X10X31 kod s kojim dobijete 10% popusta. 

Što kažete na moju mačkastu manikuru, sviđa Vam se?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana

Matching Manicure Sunday #10 - Skittlette Manicure

Hi there!

If you ask me, there's no limit for this kind of manicure, the only limit is your imagination. I bet we'll see tons of interesting manicures in this round. 

Pitate li mene, za ovu vrstu manikure nema ograničenja, jedina su ona vaše mašte. Kladim se da ćemo u ovom krugu vidjeti brdo zanimljivih manikura.

As you can see, my right and left hand don't look the same. I used China Glaze 'snow' and essence I LOVE BERLIN 'berlin story' for this manicure, with the water decals from BornPretty Store for accent nails. More of these decals some other time, let me just tell you how in love with them I am... this is the third day I'm wearing them, and they look just the same as first day. 

Now, let's all go see what the other girls have done.

Kao što vidite, moja desna i lijeva ruka ne izgledaju isto. Za manikuru sam koristila China Glaze 'snow' i essence I LOVE BERLIN 'berlin story', te vodene naljepnice iz BornPretty Store-a. Više o naljepnicama nekom drugom prilikom, dozvolite mi samo da kažem kako sam oduševljena njima, nosim ih već treći dan a izgledaju kao i prvog. 

Idemo sad svi zajedno pogledati što su nam druge cure spremile.

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

Princess of China

Hi there!

I bet some of Chinese princesses looked like this .
Kladim se da je bar koja kineska princeza izgledala ovako .

I'm mesmerized by the look of these water decals... I think they're the prettiest I have ever wear. I could put them on all my nails, but it seemed like these girls deserve more attention, this way  you get to see them better. 

They came in a plastic bag, 15 of them...

Očarana sam izgledom ovih naljepnica... mislim da su najljepše koje sam ikad imala. Mogla sam ih staviti na sve nokte, ali mi se činilo da ove cure zaslužuju malo više pažnje i da su ovako uočljivije. 

Stigle su u plastičnom omotu, njih 15...

... and with instructions.

... zajedno s uputama.

I followed the instructions, except the last one, you really don't need a blow dryer. I got these water decals at Born Pretty Store, and you can found them here, for 2.86 $. When they coming from China, why not looking traditional Chinese . Other then traditional, they look so delicate... and kinda royally, at least to me, that's why I tried to add some more glamour to this manicure. The polishes that helped me create this magic are essence 'that's what i mint!' and China Glaze 'something sweet' and 'i'm not lion'. 

If you're as mesmerized as me, and wanna have these beauties on your nails too, please use my X10X31 code for 10% off. Born Pretty Store really did a great job with these particular design of water decals, they're brilliant... I bet you can't resist them too.

Slijedila sam upute, sve osim posljednje, zbilja vam ne treba sušilo za kosu. Naljepnice su s Born Pretty Store stranice, a možete ih naći ovdje, za svega 2.68 $. Kad već dolaze iz Kine, zašto ne bi i izgledale Kineski . Osim tradicionalno, meni izgledaju prenježne... čak i kraljevski, zato sam se potrudila dodati malo više glamura ovoj manikuri. Lakovi koji su mi pritom pomogli su: essence 'that's what i mint!' i China Glaze 'something sweet' i 'i'm not lion'. 

Ukoliko ste i Vi očarane poput mene, i htjele bi ove ljepotice i na svojim noktima, molim Vas da iskoristite X01X31 kod za 10% popusta. Born Pretty Store je s ovim naljepnicama napravio odličan posao, zbilja su posebne... kladim se da ni Vi nećete odoljeti.

Hi my friends!

I had a few bad days, but now I'm here... it's not like you've been missing me, right .
I have another fashionable set of water decals from KKCenterhk, hope you'll like it as much as I did.
Imala sam par loših dana, no sad sam tu... a i nije da sam vam baš nedostajala, zar ne .
Imam za vas još jedne moderne i aktualne vodene naljepnice od KKCenterhk, nadam se da će vam se svidjeti koliko i meni.

                                 

These are Zipper Water Decals Nail Art Metallic Silver and you can find it under code WDHHC086. Temporarily they are sold out , so you'll have to wait to get it, hope they'll be soon back in stock.  They came in a plastic bag, just like I showed you with  the last decals from KKCenterhk, this time I forgot to take a pictures at every step.
Not one of my best manicures, these decals deserve better presentation... but I was wearing this manicure for three days. It drawn a great deal of attention, I received a bunch of compliments .
Don't forget to use my code: nailcrazy69 for 10% off for any shopping at KKCenterhk!
This is also my very first Avon nail polish, called 'viva pink'. I applied three coats for full coverage, it's quite watery but it dries quickly. This is how it looks on its own:
Ovo su Zipper Water Decals Nail Art Metallic Silver koje možete naći pod kodom WDHHC086. Privremeno su rasprodane , pa ćete se morati strpiti dok se opet vrate u prodaju. Došle su u plastičnoj vrećici, kao i naljepnice koje sam vam već pokazala, ali ovaj put sam zaboravila pofotkati prethodne korake. 
Nije baš jedna od najurednijih manikura, ove naljepnice zaslužuju i bolju prezentaciju... ali nosila sam ih puna tri dana, privukle su puno pažnje i dobila sam brdo komplimenata na njihov račun .
Ne zaboravite iskoristiti i kod: nailcrazy69 za popust od 10% pri svakoj kupovini kod KKCenterhk!
Ovo je i moj prvi Avon lak - 'viva pink'. Za punu pokrivnost trebala su mu tri sloja, nekako je vodenast ali se prilično brzo suši. Ovako izgleda sam:

You'll have to excuse my dry skin and cuticles, I totally forgot to put some oil on it after polishing. The other polish in this manicure is Essence 'fivepocket grey' from 'denim wanted' collection, which I got thanks to  the  kindness of one of my readers . Thanks Tea!

That's all for today, I'll try not to disappear  again... Love you all, Žana

Morat ćete mi oprostiti suhu kožu i zanoktice, totalno sam zaboravila nanijeti ulje nakon laka. Drugi lak iz ove manikure je Essenceov 'fivepocket grey' iz 'denim wanted' kolekcije, koji sam dobila zahvaljujući svojoj ljubaznoj čitateljici . Hvala ti Tea!


Bilo bi to sve za danas, potrudit ću se da opet ne nestanem... Volim vas sve, Žana

KKCenterhk's goodies

Hi my friends!

Recently, I was offered by Maggie from KKCenterhk.com to do review of some of their products. I, of course, accepted and choose these:

Nedavno sam dobila ponudu od Maggie iz KKCenterhk.com da napravim recenziju nekog od njihovih proizvoda. Naravno da sam pristala i izabrala ovo:

I fell in love instantly in these water decals with Chinese's traditional masks (at least, I think that's what they are), you can find it on there site under  code WDBLE1310. They have very neat package with plastic zipper, which is great for storage, I found it very useful. The decals have plastic foil for protection, so you'll have to remove it before do anything else. 

Odmah sam se zaljubila u ove naljepnice s kineskim tradicionalnim maskama (barem mislim da je to to), a možete ih naći na njihovoj stranici pod kodom WDBLE1310. Došle su u super pakiranju s plastičnim ziperom koji je super za kasniju pohranu. Naljepnice imaju i plastičnu zaštitnu foliju, preporučam odstranjivanje prije no što napravite išta drugo.

You cut the ones you want, dip them in the water for a minute and gently slide from the paper on your nail. Easy as a piece of cake! Also, they have no bumps or 3D effect so you can wear them without fear of get stuck on something with your nail - that's why I love water decals the best. After placing them on your nails cover them with a top coat and you're ready to show them to the world. 

Izrežete one koje mislite upotrijebiti, uronite ih u vodu na minutu a onda lagano gurnete s papira na nokat. Prelagano! One nemaju ni kvrga ni 3D efekt pa ih možete nositi bez ikakvog straha da ćete negdje zapeti noktom - e zato najviše volim vodene naljepnice! Nakon što ste ih smjestile na nokte, pređite ih nadlakom i spremne ste za pokazivanje. 

I used my beloved 'sea spray' from China glaze as a base. I love how they look! What do you think?

Also, if you decide to buy something from KKCenterhk.com, they offer a discount of 10 % for all my readers (the coupon code is nailcrazy69), feel free to use it, the banner is in the upper right side of my blog. Cool, ha 

Jedan od omiljenih - 'sea spray' od China Glaze-a je poslužio kao podloga. Dobro izgledaju! Što vi mislite?

Još nešto, ukoliko se odlučite za kupnju od KKCenterhk.com, ponudili su i popust od 10 % za sve moje čitatelje (samo trebate unijeti kod: nailcrazy69), a sve potrebno vam se nalazi u gornjem desnom uglu bloga. Cool, jel'da  

Till we meet again... love, Žana
