Catrice How I Matt Your Mother... with Little Extra on the Top

Hi there!

Htjela sam Vam danas pokazati nove essence stvarčice, no pogled na moju aktualnu manikuru natjerao me da se predomislim. 

I wanted to show you some new essence stuff, but I love my current manicure so much, I just had to share it with you.

Best of 2014

Hi there!

It's hard to choose just one polish as favorite, so here's bunch of them, with no particular order.

Nije lako odlučiti se favorita među lakovima kad ih volite kao ja, stoga evo hrpice njih, bez određenog redosljeda.

December's New In

Hi there!

I've been really good girl and both only two things through the whole December .

Baš sam bila dobra ovaj prosinac, i kupila tek dvije (neophodne) stvarčice  .

Golden Rose Holiday 70

Hi there!

 Golden Rose Holiday 70, three coats, no topcoat, outside / tri sloja, bez nadlaka, vani

Golden Rose Rich Color(s)

Hi there!

I don't have a new manicure for you, because Brazilian flag still looks great, but I started to feel itchy, so that one will probably go down tomorrow... in meanwhile, let me show you some (old) swatches.

Danas Vam ne donosim novu manikuru, brazilska zastava se odlično drži, no upravo me počinje svrbjeti, pa će najvjerojatnije dolje sutra... u međuvremenu, dozvolite da Vam pokažem (stare) swatcheve koje sam iskopala s hard disca. 

Farewell my dear March, you've been good to me

Hi there!

It's time to summarize what we did and where we were last month.

Look how many goodies I have, this gorgeous Boudoir & Nivea bag is almost full . I must say that this bag is the only thing that I properly tested, I'm wearing it almost every day to grocery shopping. It looks great, it's firm enough and it matches my new beige shoes .

Vrijeme je da rezimiramo što smo radili i gdje smo bili protekli mjesec.
Pogledajte samo koliko toga ima, ova prekrasna Boudoir & Nivea torba je skoro puna . Moram priznati da je torba jedina stvar koja je pošteno istestirana, nosim ju svaki dan u spizu (špeceraj). Izgleda super, dovoljno je čvrsta i slaže mi se s novim bež šuzama .

Beauty Blog Day Manicure

Hi there!

After showing you how great time I had at Beauty Blog Day Croatia this Saturday, I might as well show you the manicure I wore.

Nakon što sam Vam pokazala kako sam se odlično provela na Beauty Blog Day Croatia, mogla bih Vam pokazati i manikuru koju sam nosila. 

Happy International Women's Day

Hi there!

Do you celebrate today's holiday? If you're women, you should. Look what I got .

Slavite li današnji praznik? Ukoliko ste žena, trebale biste. Pogledajte što sam ja dobila .

January's box of goodies

Hi there!

Only last week I removed our Christmas tree, it was time to get rid of it. I have never enjoyed in it so long, it was so cool to light up all those lights, just sit and enjoy in view, which I did every evening. Now it's time to move on... can you believe it's February already?

Anyway, there was something in the air this January, I was shopping a lot. Only thing I can say in my defence that the majority of these things was bought on discounts.

Tek sam prošli tjedan raskitila naše Božićno drvce, bilo je krajnje vrijeme da ga se rješim. Nikad nisam uživala u njemu ovako dugo, bilo mi je super upaliti svjećice, sjesti i uživati u pogledu, što sam i radila redovito svaku većer. No, vrijeme je da se krene dalje... možete li uopće vjerovati da smo već u veljači???
Nego, prošli je mjesec izgleda bilo nešto divlje u zraku, pa sam uživala u shoppingu. Jedino što mogu reći u svoju obranu je da je većina stvari ipak kupljena na akcijama. 

Christmas Great Challenge - Christmas Elf

Hi there!

Who said it's too late for Christmas themes on nails!? In some part of the world people are still preparing for this holiday.

Ma tko kaže da je kasno za Božićne teme na noktima!? U nekim djelovima svijeta ljudi se tek pripremaju za ovaj blagdan.

Christmas Great Challenge - Snowman

Hi there!

Finally, here's my entrance to this week's round of our Christmas Great Challenge.

Konačno, evo i mog ulaza u ovotjedni krug Velikog Božićnog Izazova.

As background I used perfect Holographic 4, which you'll see in all its shine in some other post. Snowman is painted with white acrylic paint, the details with different polishes. I tried to sponge some Golden Rose Holiday 70 on base of my nails, but since that polish is poorly pigmented that is hardly visible, only thing that I achieved is some texture. I had bigger plans for this manicure, but pain in my back won't let me sit more than 20 minutes, so I have to be satisfied with this. 

What do you think of my mr. Snowman, is he cute enough to keep you company on some meadow?  

Please, check out what the other Snowmans look alike.

Za pozadinu sam upotrijebila perfect Holographic 4, kojeg ćete u punom sjaju ipak vidjeti neki drugi put. Snjegović je nacrtan bijelom akrilnom bojom, a detalji lakovima za nokte. Pokušala sam spužvom nanijeti Golden Rose Holiday 70 na bazu noktiju, ali kako je lak užasno slabo pigmentiran to je jedva vidljivo, nokti su tek dobili na teksturi. Imala sam veće planove za ovu manikuru, ali bol u leđima mi ne da sjediti dulje od 20 minuta, pa sam se morala zadovoljiti i s ovim. 
Što mislite o mom g-dinu Snjegoviću, je li dovoljno sladak da Vam pravi društvo na nekoj livadi?
Molim Vas, provjerite i kako ostatak Snjegovića izgleda. 

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

Matching Manicure Sunday #13 - Mint birthday manicure

Hi there!

Yesterday was Dženana's birthday, so this round of Matching Manicure Sunday goes for her - happy birthday sweetie . I know for a fact that she loves glitter and mint color, so this is what I came up with.

Jučer je Dženana proslavila rođendan, pa je ova runda nedjeljnih manikura posvećena njoj - sretan ti rođenda draga . Znam sigurno da voli i glitter i mint bojice, pa sam to zamislila nekako ovako.

As base color for this manicure I used Golden Rose RICH COLOR #44, gorgeous mint creme. The balloons were drawn with white acrylic paint, then painted with orange, pink and blue L'OREAL nail polish. I framed them with black, then added touch of white. On the rest of my nails I added essence 'gold fever' glitter. Hope Dženana will be pleased with it .

How about you, do you like it?

Za baznu boju sam iskoristila Golden Rose RICH COLOR #44, prekrasan mint lakić. Balone sam nacrtala bijelom akrilnom bojom, a onda ih obojila narančastim, rozim i plavim L'OREAL lakovima. Uokvirila sam ih crnom, pa ubacila i tračak bijele, za plastičniji izgled. Na ostatak noktiju dodala sam essence 'gold fever' glitter. Nadam se da će Dženana biti zadovoljna .

A što je s Vama, što Vi mislite o ovakvoj manikuri?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

Happy birthday... to me!

Hi there!

Today is my birthday... 44th in a row. Yes, I'm an old lady, but I still love to paint my nails . Let me introduce myself.

Još koji sat mi je rođendan... i to četrdesetičetvrti po redu. Ok, već sam stara žena, ali još uvijek volim lakirati nokte . A sad bih Vam se htjela predstaviti.

As you can see, I was pretty serious baby. Luckily, that didn't last too long...

Kao što vidite, bila sam baš ozbiljna beba. Srećom, to nije potrajalo predugo...

From the early years I knew how to draw attention .

Od malih nogu sam znala kako privući pozornost .

My teenage years were bumpy... guess like with the rest of the world's population.

Tinejđerske godine su bili nemirne... pretpostavljam kao i kod ostatka svjetske populacije.

Later, I had a lots of reason to be happy, merry, loud, crazy, goofy...

Kasnije sam imala dovoljno razloga da budem sretna, vesela, glasna, luda, blesava...

guess I enjoyed the life . And that's the way it should be!

valjda sam uživala u životu . Tako bi to i trebalo biti!

And this is me, now, at the age of 44. I'm married for 20 years, I'm mother of boy of 18, currently unemployed (judging by situation here this is going to be permanent condition), and yes - I'm a polish addict . 

This is the most personal post I have ever wrote, maybe this is fever talking, maybe I'll even regret it, but after blogging for 3 years, I guess you deserve to see a face behind the blog... along with my birthday manicure.

A evo me i sad, u dobi od 44. Ove godine sam proslavila i 20 godina braka, majka sam momka od 18, nezaposlena već neko vrijeme (sudeći po situaciji u lijepoj našoj to će biti i trajno stanje) i da - ovisnica sam o malim, šarenim bočicama s lakovima .

Ovo je najosobnije post koji sam napisala, možda groznica govori iz mene, možda sutra i požalim, ali mislim da nakon bloganja od 3 godine zaslužujete vidjeti i lice iza bloga... zajedno s rođendanskom manikurom.

I had a chocolate cake with chocolate dressing. I'm fighting a battle with some viruses, and this one is pretty easy to bake. Few people asked for second piece, guess it was tasty enough . This one on my nails also looks tasty. Do you celebrate your birthdays? What kind of cake do you prefer?

Napravila sam čokoladnu tortu, s čokoladnom glazurom. Trenutno se borim s nekim virusima, a ovo mi je bilo najlakše napraviti. Par ljudi je zatražilo i drugi komad, znači da je ipak bila dovoljno ukusna . A ni ova na noktu nije ispala loše. Slavite li i Vi svoje rođendane? Kakvu tortu najviše volite?

That's all folks, thanks for stopping by, Žana 

New in October

Hi there!

Before I show you the new stuff that found home in my place, let me show you what I did through October.
Prije no što krenem s novitetima koje sam udomila, dopustite da Vam pokažem što sam nosila protekli mjesec.

Not that bad month at all. I couldn't resist to put Tanja's manicure here too, it wasn't done by me, but it's still on my blog, right .  

As for new in... here they are.
Prošli mjesec uopće nije bio loš. Nisam mogla odoljeti da stavim i Tanjinu manikuru, nisam je sama napravila, ali bila je na mom blogu, jel' tako .

Što se tiče novih stvačica... evo ih.

Oh boy, I didn't overreacted, right!? Wanna see them better?

Uopće nisam pretjerala!? Da ih pogledate malo bolje?

deBBy colorPLAY 186 and deBBy colorPLAY SAND 04 came from Italy, from my dearest Tanja, along with lower bunch of KIKO polishes: 

deBBy lakići stigli su iz Italije, od najdraže mi Tanje, zajedno s hrpom KIKO lakova dolje:

Sugar Mat 'wisteria', Sun Pearl 'blue spot' and Multi-effect 'blue navy & pearly blue sky'...

light blue, light misty green, olive drab, light pastel blue and mint milk...

violet microglitter, china blue and purple red.

While searching for polishes for Tanja, I found this couple for myself: essence 'date me!' from Cute as Hell le and CATRICE 'From Dusk To Dawn'.

Dok sam tragala za lakovima za Tanju, pronašla sam i par za sebe, vidite ih gore.

Flormars BD02 and BD01 from Black Dot le from Beauty Cosmetic Online Shop, same as...

Gornji Flormar lakići kupljeni su na ovom Bugarskom site-u, kao i...

Golden Rose polishes: 44, 38 and 47 from RICH COLOR le, and Jolly Jewels 117.

Perfect polishes came from the same source, I bought 2 bottles Holographic H4 and Sand Lacquer S79.

I Perfect lakovi stižu s iste adrese.

essie 'muchi, muchi' and 'parka perfect' were sent to me for a review, with following polishes:

essie lakovi stigli su na recenziju, zajedno s lakovima na donjim fotkama:

L'OREAL'S Confettis, Insolent Magenta and Purple Disturbia,

Maybelline's 106, Polka Dots 200 and Neons190, all Colorama edition. I got it from ItGirl community.

Sve s ItGirl portala.

Since I'm totally mad about mints, I couldn't resist these babies too - R.H Victoria 303, bought in € shop, and CATRICE 'Am I Blue Or Green?' which came with one magazine.  

Kako sam u posljednje vrijeme totalno luda za mintićima, nisam mogla odoljeti ni ovim malcim - prvi kupljen u nekoj sitnoj trgovini, CATRICE sam dobila uz primjerak Story-ja. 

Wow, all together - more than 30 polishes. This is baddest month in all my polishaholic carrier . After showing you this many polishes, I can't see no sense in showing you anything else. 

How many polishes have you bought this October?

Joj, sve skupa 30 i kusur lakova... ovo je definitivno najgori mjesec u čitavoj mojoj lakoholičarskoj karijeri . Nakon ovoliko pokazanih lakova, nema smisla da Vam pokazujem išta drugo. 

Koliko ste Vi lakova kupile ovaj Listopad?
