The butterfly and a little monster

Hi my friends!

I really don't know what to say about this manicure... My inspiration was a Dolores's manicure, she did an awesome job with it and this is my attempt to recreate it. I just hope, one day this caterpillar will be reborn as a gorgeous butterfly. 

Baš i ne znam što da vam kažem o ovoj manikuri... Inspiraciju sam ukrala od Dolores, jako mi se svidjelo što je napravila pa sam to pokušala i ja. Nadam se samo, da će iz ove gusjenice jednog dana izići prekrasan leptir. 

The base color is Eveline's Holografic shine #417, which you can see here. The butterfly was stamped with Dashica's stamping plate SdP-11 and after it I colored it with holo polishes. If you need to know something else, just ask. 

Za bazu mi je poslužio Eveline Holografic shine br. 417, koji možete vidjeti ovdje. Leptir je došao uz pomoć Dashicine ploče SdP-11 a nakon toga sam ga i obojala. Ako vas još nešto zanima, slobodno pitajte.  

Till the next polishing... love, Žana 

p.s. I think I'll send this manicure for the BornPretty Store Blog's contest for this month, if you have any manicures on this themes: studs, flower, star, leopard or butterfly go there and participate - the more, the merrier ... and you can even win something!

p.s. mislim da ću ovu manikuru proslijediti na BornPretty Store Blog natjecanje za ovaj mjesec, ukoliko imate kakvu manikuru na temu zakovice, cvijeće, zvijezde, leopard ili leptir idite i sudjelujte - što nas je više, to je veselije ... a možda se baš vama zalomi koja nagrada! Ne zaboravite ni večerašnju tekmu... premda sam sigurna da su danas i vrapci na grani pjevali o njoj!

'ajmo Hrvatska!!! 

Magic Purple to Blue Sky

Hi my friends!

Few days ago I received a small package from Born Pretty Store, containing this polish. It's Magic Purple/Blue Sky Color Changing Nail Polish #7, and it comes in a cute box.
Pred para dana stigao mi je paketić od Born Pretty Store-a s ovim lakićem - Magic Purple/Blue Sky Color Changing br. 7, koji dođe u kutijici. (što volim tepati lakovima i svemu u svezi s njima  )

                                

When I opened the bottle, inside was a purple polish, although the rest of the bottle looks almost blue.
Kad sam otvorila bočicu, iznenadila me ljubičasta boja, iako ostatak boce izgleda gotovo sasvim plavo.

When I applied it on my nails it was purple, but as it dries, it turns blue, because my hands are warm. So, the purple color for cold, and blue for warm. After the polish was dry, I put my hands in a cold water... and it turned purple again!
Na noktima je bio ljubičast, ali kako se sušio pretvarao se u plavu, jer su mi ruke tople. Dakle, ljubičasta za hladno a plava za toplo. Nakon što se lak osušio, stavila sam ruke u hladnu vodu... i eto opet ljubičaste boje!

See, while drying the color changes from purple to lovely baby blue. It was really fun to watch the change of colors, I put my hands in water over and over again... such a kid I am . 

The polish is kinda watery. I have two coats on these pics, but it looks like I could put one more. It dries pretty fast, and it dries matt so I applied a top coat over it. It has no smell at all, and I'm guessing this is some kind of water based polish, the inscription is in Chinese so there's no much use of it. It hardly survived 24 hours on my nails, but all together - I'm so happy to have this polish in my collection, it's so much fun to play with it, and I'll have to get my hands on at least one more color.  I'm so sorry I didn't take a picture of my nails after eating ice cream... they were all purple, dark purple, that cold was that ice cream and my hands with it . 

If you want this polish you can find it in  Born Pretty Store, but be sure to use a code X10X31, which you can see on the right side on my blog, because with it you get 10 % off. 

I have something else to spice up the manicure . 

Vidite, dok se sušio boja se mjenjala iz ljubičaste u krasnu baby plavu. Baš je bilo zabavno gledati promjenu boje, pa sam više puta ruku stavljala u vodu... baš sam dijete .

Lak je nekako vodenast. Na fotkama imam dva sloja, ali se vidi da još jedan ne bi naškodio. Suši se prilično brzo, i suši se mat pa sam stavila i nadlak preko. Uopće nema mirisa, pa pretpostavljam da je ovo lak na nekakvoj vodenoj bazi, natpis je na kineskom i nema koristi od njega. Jedva je preživio 24 sata na mojim noktima, ali sve u svemu - baš mi je drago što je ovakav 'komad' u mojoj kolekciji, strašno je zabavno igrati se s njim, i sve mi se čini da ću se morati dočepati barem još jedne boje. Žao mi je jedino što se nisam sjetila pofotkati nokte nakon sladoleda... bili su tamno ljubičasti, tako je hladan bio i sladoled i moje ruke s njim .

Ako vam se sviđa lak i rado bi ga imali, možete ga naći u Born Pretty Store-u, ali obavezno iskoristite i kod X10X31 koji se nalazi na desnoj strani bloga, jer s njim dobijete popust od 10 %.

Imam još nešto, da malo začinim manikuru .

How about this cool ring!? I love it! You can also find it in Born Pretty Store... again, be sure to use my code for any purchase on their site. 

So guys, what do you think, like my polish and new ring?

A tek ovaj cool prsten!? I njega možete kupiti u Born Pretty Store-u... samo ne zaboravite iskoristiti i moj kod za svaku kupnju na njihovoj stranici. 

Onda, recite mi što mislite, sviđa vam se lak i novi prsten?

Till we meet again... love, Žana

All dressed up...

Hi my friends!

I have a few things to finish up before the game, so let's go! I dressed up my nails, and trust me, when I say - they look fabulous . Just take a look at it!
Imam još par stvarčica za dovršiti prije tekme, pa idemo! Obukla sam nokte, i vjerujte mi na riječ - izgledaju fantastično . Ma samo ih pogledajte!

The idea to do this came to me after all those caviar and flocking powder manicures... I don't have any of that stuff at home, so I guessed, this glitter powder will do. And it does! I love it! Of course, you don't need to agree with me . The pics just don't do right to it... it really looks spectacular live. It's not the most practical thing, because after some time I started do leave the stardust behind me... but, to think about it - it's not such a bad thing to leave it behind you .
The base color was 'flash' by Vollare, #45, although it already disappeared from stickers, after just one polishing. Anyway, it's not the most original color in the world, but I'm kinda weak at this tipe of shades so I bought it anyway. On pics I'm wearing two coats, with no top coat.
Palo mi je ovo na pamet nakon svih onih kavijar manikura... Nemam ništa od toga doma pa mi se učinilo da bi i glitter prah mogao poslužiti. I jeste! Ludnica! Naravno, ne morate se složiti sa mnom . Fotke mi nekako nisu dovoljne... stvarno izgleda spektakularno uživo. Nije baš najpraktičnija jer sam nakon nekog vremena počela ostavljati zvjezdanu prašinu za sobom... ali, iskreno, nije ni loše ostavljati takav trag za sobom .
Boja u podlozi je 'flash' od Vollare, #45 koji je već nestao s naljepnice nakon samo jednog lakiranja. Nije to baš najoriginalnija boja na svijetu, već imam nešto slično, ali sam slaba na ovakve nijanse pa sam kupila i ovog. Na fotkama su dva sloja, bez nadlaka. 

I don't need to tell which of these pics are taken in the sun, and which in the shade, right!?
I'm wondering, what do you think of this kind of manicures?
Ne trebam vam reći koje su fotke sa sunca, a koje iz hlada, jel' da!?
I pitam se, što mislite o ovakvoj vrsti manikura?

Till we meet again... love, Žana

p.s. this is mine 333rd post, cool number
p.s. ovo mi je već 333. post, zanimljiva brojčica  

Wild thing...

... you make my heart sing... you make my everything...

Ok, I won't be singing to you, I better spare your ears from a misery . I don't know why, but this manicure provoked me and the song 'wild thing' instantly came to my mind.
Ipak bolje da ne pjevam i da poštedim vaše uši od tog jada . Ne znam zašto, ali manikura me izazvala i stvar 'wild thing' mi je isti tren pala na pamet. 

Why so many pictures? Well, because the stamping on my left hand was done with Essence 'steel me' polish, from 'metallics' collection, and the one on the right hand with Color Club 'worth the risque'. Stamping with holographic polish came to late to my mind .  'Steel me' is great for stamping, but not on this background, the base should be lighter, that's why I switched to 'worth the risque'. Oh, that holo beauty... this reminded me that I should wear my holo polishes more often. The plate I used it m69 from BornPretty Store that I bought quite some time ago... you can get it with 10 % off, if you use my code which is on the right side of the blog.
The base is another eBay catch, it's Ebalay 004, it should be iridescent color with duochrome effect, which was mission impossible for me and my camera. I put two coats over black, except on my ring finger, where are three coats on its own.
Zašto ovoliko slika? Pa zato jer sam pečat na lijevoj ruci otisnula s Essence-ovim 'steel me' iz 'metallics' kolekcije, a onaj na desnoj ruci s Color Club 'worth the risque'. Pečatiranje s holo lakićem mi je prekasno palo na pamet . 'Steel me' je super za pečatiranje, ali ne na ovoj podlozi, trebala bi biti svjetlija, zato sam se prebacila na 'worth the risque'. Ajme holo ljepote... ovo me podsjetilo da bih svoje holiće trebala malo češće nositi. Uzorak je s pločice m69 iz BornPretty Store-a koju sam kupila pred neko vrijeme... možete je dobiti s 10 % popusta, ako iskoristite kod koji se nalazi na desnoj strani bloga. 
Baza je drugi eBay ulov, Ebalay 004, trebao bi biti lak kojem se boje prelijevaju, a meni je bila nemoguća misija da isto uhvatim fotićem. Nanijela sam ga dva sloja preko crnog, osim na prstenjaku gdje je sam, u tri sloja.

I wouldn't wear it on its own, but over black it looks quite interesting. On my next pic you can see that duochrome effect I was talking about, so shy but it's there. 

Ne bih ga baš nosila samog ali preko crne podloge sasvim pristojno izgleda. Na sljedećoj fotki jedva da se može vidjeti duochrome efekt o kojem sam govorila, jako je stidljiv pred kamerom.

And here it is on my nails... too shy if you ask me, and really PITA to catch .
Evo ga i na noktima... pravi sramežljivko i PITA za poslikat .

Well, I was expecting something else, I thought that duochrome effect will be more visible... Never the less, I pick up some compliments for this manicure. 

What do you think - is this polish worth any trouble?

Iskreno, očekivala sam nešto drugo, mislila sam da će duochrome efekt biti malo jači... Nije važno, isto sam dobila par komplimenata za manikuru.

Što vi mislite - bi li lak dobio prolaznu ocjenu kod vas?

Till we meet again... love, Žana
