Whale on Blue Majesty

Hi there!

Danas sam se malo zaigrala, i baš sam si happy zbog toga, pa ću Vas zato udaviti hrpom fotki. 

Nakon dugo vremena u ruke sam uzela akrilne bojice i kist... podloga me izazivala da nabacim nešto morsko... pa se rodio kit. Na žalost, debelo je prevelik da bi stao na moje noktiće, no nekako sam ga nagurala, ili barem jedan dio njega. 

Ukoliko i Vi poput mene padate na infantilne gluposti, evo kako ćete nacrtati kita na svojim noktima.

After quite some time I took acrylic paints and nail art brushes... and the whale was born. I love how it turned out, I love how this polish looks matted, that's why I put so many photos. 

If you like this kind of nail art, here is how you can draw a whale on your nail or two.

Prvi uvjet je da Vas nešto na noktima podsjeti na more. Ukoliko se to desi, uzmite kist i bijelu akrilnu boju i nacrtajte oblik kita - polukugla s ribljim repom, ne može jednostavnije. Umjesto akrilne boje može poslužiti i bijeli lak, no rad s akrilnim bojama je bezbolniji - kraće se suše i mogu se popraviti dok su mokre (štapićem namočenim u vodu). 

Some kind of blue base is mandatory. With white acrylic paint draw a whale shape - half of sphere and fish tail. You can use white polish instead of acrylic paint, but painting with acrylic paints is easier, they are almost immediately dry and if you do something wrong you can fix it while they are still wet (with water). 

Da kit ne bio narval (jer nema mjesta za kljovu), obojite ga sivom. Moja je siva nastala miješanjem bijele i crne akrilne boje.

Paint your whale in grey. You can get it by mixing white and black acrylic paint (or grey polish).

Na kraju najtanjim kistom uokvirite svog kita, nabacite mu osmjeh i skoro ste gotove.

With black paint and the finest brush you have, give your whale a smile, an eye and contour. 

Nadlak je obavezan, a ja sam se ovaj put odlučila za mat. 

Top coat is the last step. I decided for mat. 

 NYC Crystal Couture 'Blue Majesty', tri sloja, bez nadlaka / three coats, no top coat

Evo i krivca za kitovsku manikuru. NYC 'Blue Majesty' je srednje plav jelly lak s glitterom iste boje. Dva sloja ne izgledaju loše, no treći je sloj ipak dodao još dubine. Vrijeme sušenja bi moglo biti i bolje, a u bočici od 9,7 ml je uži, ravno rezan kist. Nekako sam razočarana fotkama, čini mi se da nisam uspjela uhvatiti kako ovaj lak zbilja izgleda... uglavnom, bolje no na fotkama. Na kraju sam ga morala matirati jer matirani glitter je najbolji glitter! Po mom skromnom mišljenju, naravno.

Koliko znam NYC lakova u hrvatskim drogerijama nema, ali zato ima u talijanskim... a moja Tanja zna moj ukus 

Here's my base coat - NYC 'Blue Majesty'. It's medium blue jelly polish, with blue glitter. Two coats don't look too bad, but I added the third for more depth on photos. In 9,7 ml you'll found a narrow, flat brush. I wish drying time was shorter. And I'm disappointed with these photos, the polish looks better live. I couldn't resist to add a mat top coat, because there's no glitter like matted glitter, right!?

In Croatian drugstores there's no NYC polishes, but my dear Tanja grabbed this one for me, in Italy. She knows me too well 

Jedino slično što sam iskopala u vlastitoj kolekciji je DEL SOL 'rock star', no to je lak koji reagira na UV svjetlo, pa je na kraju zelen, premda u bočici izgledaju jako slično. 

Sviđa Vam se 'plavo veličanstvo'? Kit? Tutorijal? Sve mi priznajte. 

The only similar polish that I have is DEL SOL 'rock star', but it's UV polish which changes in green, although they look pretty similar in the bottle.

Do you like 'Blue Majesty'? How about whale? This tutorial? Tell me everything.

Thanks for stopping by, Žana
