Black & white nail challenge: Day 3

Hi my friends!

We're already on third day of black&white challenge. Today's theme is black base with some color. I don't know about you, but it seems that when someone's give me the specific theme, my minds just shut up... all the good ideas run away, and when I see manicures of other girls participating in this challenge I say: I could do that... but at the time that didn't crossed my mind . 
Fortunately for you and me, today I came up with a good idea . How was the performance, it's up to you to judge. 
Evo nas već u trećem danu crno-bijelog izazova. Današnja tema je crna baza s nekom bojom. Ne znam kako vama, ali meni se čini da kad mi netko kaže da nešto moram napraviti baš tako, mozak mi se zatvori... sve dobre ideje pobjegnu, i kad vidim manikure od drugih cura koje sudjeluju u ovom izazovu kažem: ma i ja sam to mogla napraviti... ali kad je trebalo nisam se toga mogla sjetiti .
Srećom i po mene i po vas, danas mi je na um pala dobra ideja . Kakva je izvedba, morat ćete same prosuditi.  

This was my right hand, I'm a right-handed person, remember that. Now on my left, which was disappointment... it's not a fail, but right hand is much more prettier. 
Ovo je bila moja desnica, a ja sam dešnjak, zapamtite. Sad na lijevu ruku, koja je ispala razočaranje... ne mogu reći da ne valja, ali desna ruka mi je puno ljepša.

The polishes I used to create this...
I lakići koje sam koristila...

What say you - good or not? 
Što vi kažete - dobro ili ne?


I almost forgot to mention the other fellow bloggers in this challenge, shame on me, be sure to visit them also. 
Skoro sam zaboravila spomenuti kolegice blogerice koje sudjeluju u izazovu, sramota, posjetite i njih.

How Blair cheated on Chuck

Hi my friends!

With whom, you wonder... With Romeo! And there was even some foil involved . Terrible! Just look at them all together!

S kim, pitate se... s Romeom! Čak je i neka folija bila u igri . Ma prestrašno! Samo ih pogledajte ovako sve na hrpi!

But they look awesome, don't they . 

I started with Romeo, because when you wanna nail foil on your nails, you have to have a base color similar to it, in this case silver. After Romeo was dried, I added a nail foil glue, then waited until it was dried. Next, you have to pres down the foil on your nail, pres it firmly until the foil transfers on your nail. This foil looks great, really really great...
Ali dobro izgledaju, zar ne .
Počela sam s Romeom, jer kad želite staviti foliju morate u podlozi imati sličnu boju, u ovom slučaju srebrnu. Nakon što se Romeo posušio, dodala sam ljepilo za folije, sačakala da se i ono osuši. Zatim, trebate foliju čvrsto pritisnuti na nokat, pritisnuti čvrsto dok se folija ne prenese na nokat. Ova folija predobro izgleda... 

(pictures taken inside, with artificial light) but if you want to put top coat on it, it shrinks too much , so I decided to be a top coat with glitters and choose Blair. At the end I was pretty happy . 
What do you think about this combo?
(fotkano unutra, pod umjetnim svjetlom) ali ako na nju stavite nadlak grozno se zgužva , pa sam se odlučila za nadlak s glitterima i odabrala Blair. Na kraju sam baš bila zadovoljna .
Kako se vama čini ova kombinacija?
  
Till next polishing... love, Žana

Black & white nail challenge: Day 2

Hi my friends!

It's the second day of 'black & white' challenge, today our manicures will be 'white on black', here is mine. 
Drugi je dan 'crno & bijelo' izazova, danas će naše manikure biti 'bijelo na crnom', evo moje.

To tell you the truth, I'm not quite happy with it, but I have no energy to do it all over again. For this I used: Chanel 'black satin' as base, one coat, Essence white stamping polish, fauxnad image plate m74 and Essence 'better than gel nails' top coat. 

Outside is a gorgeous day, it's sunny and warm... but I must stay inside because I still have a fever .
Now I'll go to see if the rest of my fellows bloggers already did their mani for today, come and join me, we even have a few new blogs on list .
Iskreno, baš i nisam zadovoljna s njom, ali stvarno nemam energije da radim nanovo. Za ovu sam koristila: Chanel 'black satin' kao bazu, jedan sloj, Essenceov bijeli lak za pečatiranje, fauxnad pločicu m74 i Essenceov 'better than gel nails' nadlak.
Vani je prekrasan dan, sunčano je i toplo... a ja moram ostati unutra jer još uvijek imam temperaturu , hebo 'vako djetinjstvo ! 
Idem pogledati je li i ostatak ekipe izbacio svoje manikure, pridružite mi se, imamo i novih blogova na listi .

Evo najfriškijih vijesti iz Essencea: od ožujka proizvodi iz kolekcije 'my skin' se mogu naći i u Kozmo drogerijama i hipermarketima Plodine. Sama kolekcija je namjenjena njezi mlade kože (uf, ja sam zakasnila), dermatološki odobrena, bez ulja i sa UVA/UVB filterima, u kombinaciji tri okusa (hihi): nara i bambus, liči i plavo grožđe te limeta i krastavac.    

essence my skin nježan gel za čišćenje lica

s ekstraktima limete i krastavca koji koži pružaju intezivnu hidrataciju, a pogodan je za sve tipove kože, u prodaji za 17,90 kn

je već pripremljena maska koja se lako koristi i smiruje stresnu kožu u trenu, obogaćena je ekstraktima krastavca, u prodaji za 8,90 kn

Priznajem, ova me krema spasila prošlo ljeto i rado je preporučam. Inaće, imam suhu kožu, iako ne kremi stoji da je za normalnu i mješanu, meni je super poslužila. 

Do idućeg susreta... volim vas sve, Žana

Black & white nail challenge: Day 1

Hi my friends!

I've got the invitation for the 10 days challenge from Mateja, and I was glad to accept it. What it'll look like is:
Dobila sam pozivnicu za 10-o dnevni izazov od Mateje, i sa zadovoljstvom je prihvatila. Ovako će on izgledati:

Here's my mani for the first day...
Evo mog uratka za prvi dan...

My white is China Glaze 'snow', two coats... and while thinking what I'm gonna do, the half moon mani cross my mind. The black is Chanel 'black satin'... maybe to much black for this particularly day, but I love the way this looks, even my cat agree to pose with it . Now I'm off to see what my coworkers in this challenge have done... after that straight to bed, I'm too sick to sit here too long . Don't worry, I won't send you any virus!
Bijela podloga je China Glaze 'snow, dva sloja... i dok sam se predomišljala što bih mogla napraviti, polumjesec manikura mi je pala na pamet. Crna je Chanel 'black satin'... možda je previše crnila za baš ovaj dan, ali meni se baš sviđa kako izgleda, čak je i moj mucek pristao pozirati s manikurom . Idem sad pogledati što je ostatak ekipe napravio... iza toga pravac krevet, prebolesna sam da bih tu predugo sjedila . Ne brinite, ne šaljem vam svoje viruse!
