I'm blue

Hi my friends!

Honestly, I'm not blue, I'm just wearing blue . This beauty is from my birthday's bunch, a gift from my son. Finally!
Iskreno, nisam tužna, samo nosim plavo . Ovaj ljepotan je iz moje rođendanske hrpice, darak od mog sina . Jes, napokon!

It's Gabrini Multivitamin 367, lovely blue shade, covers perfectly after two coats... but I can't tell for sure if on pics are only those two coats or I put a topcoat over it, because this manicure is the one that I wear when I was picking olives. I only remember that I wear it for 4 days, that's awesome .
And these I made today, for weekly challenge on Žena.hr (Croatian women's portal). It's not total failure (except the part where I smeared red polish with topcoat), but my cuticles are such a mess . The polishes that participated in this adventure are Eveline Classic colours 253 (white) and Gabrini Multivitamin 326 (vampy red).
To je Gabrini Multivitamin 367, krasna plava bojica, super pokriva u dva sloja... na žalost, ne sjećam se jesu na fotkama samo ta dva sloja ili i nadlak, jer sam ovo nosila dok sam brala masline. Sjećam se samo da sam ga nosila 4 dana, što je fantastičan uspjeh .
A ove sam napravila danas, za tjedni izazov na Žena.hr (hrvatski portal za žene). Nije totalni neuspjeh (osim onog dijela gdje sam crveni lak razmazala uz pomoć nadlaka), ali zanoktice su mi stvarno u komi . Lakovi koji su sudjelovali u ovoj avanturi su Eveline Classic colours 253 (bijeli) i Gabrini Multivitamin 326 (vampy crveni).

I love the autumn, but I miss the sun, I haven't seen it for a few days . If you see that guy, tell him to pay me a visit .
Volim jesen, ali mi sunce nedostaje, nisam ga vidjela već par dana . Ukoliko vidite tog velikog momka, recite mu da navrati .

Till we meet again... love, Žana

Golden leaf

Hi my friends!

I'm done with olives... at least for this year . Now my nails looking like this (even worst because there's no sun outside, it's raining today):
Gotova sam s maslinama... bar za ovu godinu . Sad mi nokti izgledaju ovako (na fotkama i gore zbog vremena, danas pada kiša):

My cuticles are ruined, nail on my index finger is broken but I can't cut the rest of nails, I just don't want to!  But I have this extraordinary polish to comfort me . This is Misslyn 537 'golden leaf', dark green with lot of  golden shimmer, on pics two coats, no topcoat, except on my index finger. You can see how the shimmer is more visible with topcoat, and the polish is more shiny... so, this one looks better with topcoat. I love this kind of polishes, do you? This one reminded me of 'snakeskin' by Color Club, they look similar in the bottles but on nails the difference is more visible, snakeskin is much more grey. 

Are you ready for more greens? From pre-olives time . I just have to make my untried bunch of polishes smaller! 

Zanoktice su mi uništene, nokat na kažiprstu slomljen, ali neću skratiti ostatak noktiju, ne mogu i ne želim  (makar me se ostatak blogerske zajednice odrekao). Zato imam ovog krasotana da me tješi . On je Misslyn 'golden leaf', tamno zelena s tonom shimmera, na fotkama u dva sloja, bez nadlaka, osim na kažiprstu. Možete vidjeti kako je shimmer vidljiviji s nadlakom, a lak je sjajniji... znači, ovaj puno bolje izgleda s nadlakom. Sviđaju mi se ovakvi lakići, a vama? Isprva me podsjetio na 'snakeskin' od Color Club-a, u bočicama čak izgledaju slično, ali na noktima ne, 'snakeskin' ima totalno sivu bazu. 

Jeste spremne za još malo zelenila? Iz predmaslinskog vremena . Moram smanjiti svoju hrpicu neisprobanih lakića! 

This is Kiko 'dark green', on pics two coats, no topcoat. See how glossy it is, love it! It's almost one coater, but I applied two, just to be safe. Gorgeous creme, lovely color, nice drying time, glossy finish... love it! 

A ovo je Kiko 'dark green', na fotkama u dva sloja, bez nadlaka. Vidite kako je sjajan, krasotan! Gotovo da je i jedan sloj bio dovoljan, ali sam što za svaki slučaj, što iz navike stavila dva. Krasan krem lakić, super boja, dobro se suši, sjajan finiš... moj je!

Essence Season Of Extremes collection, 'we are all bright'. I don't have words to describe this beauty... awesome color, glossy finish, perfect application... on pics two coats, no topcoat. I really love it! This reminded me of Essence 'bella' but this one is more green than 'bella'. 

Essence Season Of Extremes kolekcija, 'we are all bright'. Nemam riječi za opisat ovu ljepotu... krasna boja, sjajan finiš, savršeno nanošenja... na fotkama su dva sloja, bez nadlaka. Obožavam ga! Podsjetio me na 'bellu', također Essence, ali ovaj je zeleniji od 'belle'. 

And this happens when you add the pinkish shimmer which is on the other side of bottle. I didn't think I'll like it this way but it actually looks great, especially in the shade, where the shimmer is more visible. I just don't know why I waited few months to try this polish on... there must be something wrong with me .  

Three different shade of greens and I can't decide which one I love more. Can you?

Eto što se dogodi kad dodate i ljubičasto-rozi shimmer koji je na drugom kraju bočice. Nisam mislila da će mi se i ovakav svidjeti, ali zapravo super izgleda, naročito u sjeni, gdje je shimmer vidljiviji nego na suncu. Ne znam samo zašto sam čekala mjesecima da bih isprobala ovaj lak... sigurno nešto nije u redu sa mnom .

Tri različite nijanse zelenih, a ja ne mogu odlučiti koja mi je draža. Možete li vi?

Till we meet again... love, Žana 

Green day

Hi my friends!

I'm picking olives, by day for real, by night in my dreams . So, everything around me is pretty much green. You know where else I love to see green? On my nails, of course! If you like green polishes, stay tuned, bunch of pics ahead.
Berem masline, danju stvarno, a noću nastavljam u snovima . Dakle, sve oko mene je prilično zeleno. Znate gdje još volim vidjeti zeleno? Pa na svojim noktima, naravno! Ako volite zelene lakiće, ostanite sa mnom, hrpa fotki je pred vama. 

This is the only nail polish from Essence's Snow White collection that I have - 'Bashful'. Oh boy, I'm in love. Awesome color, and that golden shimmer makes it just perfect! On pics two coats, no topcoat.
Ovo je jedini lak iz Essenceove Snow White kolekcije kojeg imam - 'Bashful'. Ajme, totalno sam zaljubljena . Fantastična boja, a zbog ovog zlatnog shimmera je upravo savršena! Na fotkama su dva sloja, bez nadlaka.

Essence 'fruity' collection, the name of the polish is 'one kiwi a day'. On pics three coats, but it looks like one more would look better. My little me manage to broke the bottle, luckily I had a few empty bottles to spare. Not bad, but honestly, I expected more from this polish. I don't appreciate polishes that requires more than three coats .
Essence 'fruity' kolekcija, ime laka je 'one kiwi a day'. Na fotkama su tri sloja, ali s četvrtim bi izgledao još bolje. Jadna mala ja sam uspjela razbiti bočicu, srećom imam par rezervnih na lageru. Nije loš, ali iskreno, od ovog lakića sam očekivala više. Nisu mi baš napeti lakovi koji zahtijevaju više od tri sloja .

Essence season of extremes 'did someone say nude?'. On pics two coats, no topcoat. Lovely, lovely color, cool mint, I really love mint shades . I bet you like it too .  

Essence season of extremes 'did someone say nude?'. Na fotkama dva sloja, bez nadlaka. Krasna, krasna bojica, obožavam mintaste lakiće . Kladim se da se i vama sviđa .

Smart girls get more - #55, limited edition. On pics three coats, no topcoat. The color is gorgeous, but this one is definitely too transparent for my taste... it probably need three more coats to look presentable. Such a pity,  because the color is really great. 

Smart girls get more - #55, limitirano izdanje. Na fotkama tri sloja, bez nadlaka. Boja mi je genijalna, ali je stvarno preproziran za moj ukus... mislim da bi mu trebala barem još tri sloja da izgleda pristojno. Baš šteta, jer mi je boja zbilja krasna. 

So, do you like greens? Which one of these colors would be yours favorite?

Volite li i vi zelembaće? Koja će od ovih boja biti vaš favorit?

Till we meet again, keep those nails polished, Žana
