A bit of sponging, a bit of stamping

Hi there!

This gorgeousness is Eveline 808 from 'miniMAX' line, lovely greenish pastel color. On pics you see two coats, no topcoat. Pictures were taken 24 hours after I applied the polish, even with all the things I've done it looks perfect! It's well pigmented, drying time is pretty decent, the brush won't give you any problems... great polish indeed. This afternoon I had some free time so I sit and played with my polishes. First I sponged a bit of Eveline 810 from the same line across the middle of my nails, then added some stamping, with fauxnad plate m78 bought on Born Pretty Store site quite some time ago, and Pastel 74 nail polish. Here is the final result, which I absolutely love:

Ova krasota je Eveline 808 iz 'miniMAX' linije, krasna pastelna zelena bojica. Na fotkama su dva sloja, bez nadlaka. Fotke su snimljene 24 sata nakon što sam nalakirala nokte, i uz sve ono što sam za to vrijeme radila lak još izgleda savršeno! Dobro je pigmentiran, vrijeme sušenja je skroz pristojno, četkica vam sigurno neće praviti probleme... ma super lakec! Poslijepodne sam uhvatila vremena za sebe pa sam sjela za stolić s lakovima. Prvo sam spužvicom preko sredine noktiju dodala malo Eveline 810 iz iste linije, a onda još i pečatirala s fauxnad pločicom m78, koju sam prije prilično vremena kupila na Born Pretty Store situ, i Pastel lakom #74. Evo konačnog rezultata koji se meni jako svidio.

What do you think?

Što vi kažete?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

p.s. here's the reason why I keep myself away from polishes, this is the thermometer above my desk with polishes

p.s. evo razloga zbog kojeg baš i nemam volje lakirati nokte, ovo čudo je poviše mog stolića s lakovima

Drawing on baby blue

Hi there!

What's yours most loved product for summer season? If you ask me, it's air conditioner . The only downside of this invention is that it kills social life - I mean, who wants to go out when inside is so cozy . Well, thanks to air condition, you now can read my post.

Koji bi bio vaš omiljeni proizvod tijekom ljeta? Ako mene pitate - glasam za klima uređaj . Jedina mana mu je da ubija društveni život - mislim, tko želi ići vani kad je unutra tako udobno . Hvala dragoj klimi, konačno možete pročitati moj post.

This gorgeous baby blue is Gabrini Multivitamin N12 from 'New Collection'. On pics you can see two coats, no topcoat. For such a light color this is awesome pigmentation, brush is ok and I had no problems with application, drying time is ok too... the only problem are these tiny bubbles on surface which I didn't even notice till the next morning (I polished my nails just before I went to bed). I think this is the first polish that reacted this way on my nails. As for durability - I'm impressed! I wear it more than 24 hours without topcoat, and it didn't chipped, no visible tip-wear, it looked like I just polish it. That's not good, that's great! Next evening (or morning) before I went to bed, I decided to try something. 

Ova prekrasna plava bojica je Gabrini Multivitamin N12 iz 'New Collection'. Na fotkama su dva sloja, bez nadlaka. Za ovako svijetlu boju to je super pigmentacija, četkica je ok i nisam imala problema s nanošenjem, vrijeme sušenja sasvim pristojno... jedini problem su ovi sitni mjehurići koje doduše nisam ni primjetila do idućeg jutra (nokte sam lakirala prije polaska na spavanje). Mislim da mi je ovo prvi lak koji mi je to napravio. A što se tiče trajnosti - e tu sam totalno impresionirana! Nosila sam ga nešto dulje od 24 sata bez nadlaka i nije se otkrhnuo, nije bilo izlizanih vrhova, izgledao je kao da sam ga upravo nalakirala. To ne da je dobro, to je fantastično! Iduću večer, odnosno jutro, prije polaska na spavanje, palo mi je na pamet da nešto isprobam.

This is one of the new things from Born Pretty Store's assortment - Nail Art Pen in black color. Nail art pens are easier to control than brushes, that's for sure, but honestly, I was happier with results I had with cd marker than with this. This just slid off my nails, like the surface is oily, don't know how else to describe it, so I did another coat. You can found it here, for price of 3.99 $. 

Would I recommend it? Sadly, no, it didn't impressed me at all.  

This is how the manicure look like when it was finished.

Ovo je jedna od novijih stvarčica u Born Pretty Store asortimanu - olovka za nail art u crnoj boji. Ove su olovke puno lakše za rukovanje nego kistovi, to da, ali iskreno, bila sam zadovoljnija rezultatom kojim sam dobila sa cd markerom nego s ovim čudom. Boja je klizila s nokta, kao da je površina bila masna, to je najprecizniji opis, pa sam morala sve preći još jednom. Možete ju naći ovdje, za cijenu od 3.99 $.

Bih li je preporučila? Na žalost, ne, nije me uopće impresionirala.

Ovako je manikura izgledala u konačnici.

Like child's drawing, right . Although I'm not a kinda girl that usually wears flowers on nails, I can live with these. 

Could you?

Poput dječjeg crteža, jel' da . Baš i nisam tip cure koji nosi cvijeće na noktima ali s ovim mogu živjeti. 

Biste li i vi mogle?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

Fireball from above

Hi there!

I decided yesterday that I'm done with being sick... so when I wake up, I put my make up, took a walk on a sunshine, did my nails, clean my house... I even enjoyed washing dishes (which I usually hate), but it's great when you can do everything you want, even if that's such an annoying thing as washing dishes. It's really cool when you feel fine !

Anyway, the choice was made, I decided to wear this polish:

Jučer sam odlučila da je dosta bolovanja... pa kad sam se probudila posegnula sam za make-upom, prošetala se po suncu, sredila si nokte, počistila kuću... uživala sam čak i u pranju suđa (koje obično mrzim), ali je super kad možete napraviti sve što hoćete, makar to bila tako dosadna stvar kao što je pranje suđa. Baš je super kad se osjećate dobro !

Nego, izbor je pao na ovaj lak:

This is Misslyn 'dazzling water' from 'velvet diamond' collection. On photos you see two coats, no topcoat, all of them taken in the shade. First thing that crossed my mind when I opened the bottle was - China Glaze Prismatic collection! To be more specific - Optical Illusion from that line. Optical Illusion has more colors inside, but it's basically the same stuff. Unlike China Glaze, this polish doesn't dry that fast, some half hour after it's still soft when you press and push, so please don't do that. Don't cry, that can be fixed with one coat of speed dry top coat, but I like to take my swatches without it. Beside that, this polish is just great. Like all glitters it's kinda rough but I just love that. The color is great, aqua blue/green with tons of silver and teal glitters, and it doesn't need a lot of light to see it shining. If you ask me - great summery polish!

But it needs something little extra to be even prettier!

Ovo je Misslyn 'dazzling water' iz 'velvet diamond' kolekcije. Na fotkama su dva sloja, bez nadlaka, a sve iz hlada. Prva stvar koja mi je pala na pamet kad sam otvorila bočicu bila je - China Glaze Prismatic kolekcija! Ili još bolje - Optical Illusion iz te linije. Optical Illusion u sebi ima više boja, ali u osnovi ovo je ista stvar. Za razliku od China Glaze laka, ovaj se ne suši tako sjajno, čak i nakon pola sata lak je još mekan kad ga pritisnete i gurnete pa savjetujem izbjegavanje takvih radnji. Ali ne morate odmah plakati, to se da rješiti slojem brzosušećeg nadlaka, no ja uvijek swatcham lakove bez njega. Osim toga, lak je zbilja krasan. Kao svi glitteri, malo je hrapav na dodir, ali meni se to sviđa. Boja je super, vodena zelena/plava s tonom srebrnog i tirkiznog glittera  i ne treba joj puno da zabljesne. Ako mene pitate - savršen ljetni izbor!

Ali trebalo je još nešto da bude čak i ljepši!

That's why I added an accent nail, I tried to paint burning sun, because it's really hot outside. All I can say in my defense - it's really boring to have just one color on nails . You'll forgive me for slightly tip-wear, these photos are taken this morning and I wanted to insert some sunny pictures to show you the polish in his fully shine. 

Have you welcomed the summer in your part of the world?  

I tako sam dodala i akcent nokat, pokušala nacrtati goruće sunce, jer je vani zbilja vruće. Sve što mogu reći u svoju obranu je - meni je jednostavno dosadno imati samo jednu boju na noktima . Oprostit ćete mi za diskretnu izlizanost na vrhovima, zadnje fotke su jutrošnje a htjela sam ubaciti koju sunčanu fotografiju da vidite lak u punom sjaju.

Jeste li već pozdravili ljeto u svom dijelu svemira?

Thanks for stopping by, take care... Žana 

Grey... but no anatomy here

Hi there!

Hope you all feel better than me... hope I'll feel better tomorrow . Anyway, this is an old swatch I haven't publish before... don't know why (maybe because the photos are not so great ). 

Nadam se da se svi osjećate bolje od mene... nadam se da ću se sutra i ja osjećati bolje . Nego, evo jednog starog swatch-a kojeg nisam objavila prije... nemam pojma zašto (valjda zato jer fotke i nisu bajne ).

On pics you can see Gabrini multivitamin #398 from Matte Nails line, three coats but no topcoat. To my surprise, the polish is pretty thin, so I needed a third coat too. Don't ask me about drying time, I really can't remember now. First two pics taken in the sun (it was shy sun, but still the sun), the last two in the shade. As you can see, this polish is not absolutely mat, it has kinda semi-mat finish, which I also like... Come to think of it, I love all finishes - extra gloss, shiny, half mat or mat . Oh boy, I really have low criterion . 

This kind of color exactly reflex my mood . I think I'm ready for a new manicure, although the balloons still looking good - but I'm kinda bored by it... hey, that means I really feel better .

Na fotkama je Gabrini multivitamin #398 iz Matte Nails linije, tri sloja i bez nadlaka. Na moje iznenađenje, lak je prilično rijedak, pa su mi trebala tri sloja. Ne pitajte kako je bilo sa sušenjem, sad se stvarno ne sjećam. Prve dvije fotke su sa sunca (doduše, bilo je to stidljivo ali ipak nekakvo sunce), a zadnje dvije iz sjene. Već vidite da lak i nije sasvim mat, ima polu-mat finish, koji meni i nije mrzak... Kad bolje razmislim, volim sve finish-e - extra sjajne, sjajne, polu-mat i mat . Ajme meni, stvarno su mi kriteriji niski .

Ova boja baš oslikava moje raspoloženje . Čini mi se da sam spremna za novu manikuru, iako se baloni dobro drže već su mi malo dosadili... jep, izgleda da se već osjećam bolje .

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

p.s. don't get sick, it's not healthy 

p.s. i nemojte se razboliti, stvarno nije zdravo
