Gabrini Elegant 305 i Color Line 48

Danas nam je na Ani žuti petak.

Today is yellow Friday on Ana.

Gabrini Elegant 305 - tri sloja, bez nadlaka

Gabrini Elegant 305 je jedan od lakova koje mi je Šmizla nedavno poslala. Moja ljubav prema žutim lakovima nije tajna, ali nisam znala da bi neko ko me ne poznaje uživo mogao da utrefi pravu nijansu. Ne volim previše blede, limunaste nijanse, a volim one koje vuku na žumance. Ovo je malo pastelnija nijansa sunčano žute, taman kakvu nemam u kolekciji. Mazao se neočekivano dobro, možda najbolje od svih žutih koje imam, bez tragova četkice. I sa tri sloja je vidljiva linija nokta, ali ne toliko da se brinem oko toga. Negativni utisci su užasan terpentinski miris karakterističan za sve Gabrini lakove i mehurići koji su mi se pojavili na tri nokta.

Gabrini Elegant 305 is one of the polishes Šmizla sent to me recently. My love for yellow polishes is no secret, but I had no idea someone who hasn't met me in person could pick the correct shade. I don't like paler, lemony shades and I love yolky shades. This is a bit pastel sunny yellow, just the kind I didn't have in my collection. The application was unexpectedly good, perhaps the best of all yellow polishes I have, without streaky brush marks. There is visible nail line after three coats, but not that visible that it would bother me. The negative sides are the vial turpentine smell characteristic to all Gabrini polishes and bubbling on three of my nails.

Tanke pruge

Morala sam dodati još jedan sloj boje na jučerašnji manikir, a onda sam odlučila i da isprobam nešto novo. Koristila sam ovo video-uputstvo da napravim linije na noktu.

I had to add another coat of polish to my yesterday's mani and then I decided to try out something new. I used this video tutorial to make these spun sugar-like thin lines.

Flormar 391 i poređenje

Color Line 86 - Flormar 391 - Don Juan 172

Flormar 391 mi je stigao u paketiću od Šmizle pre nekog vremena, a tek sada je došao na red za isprobavanje. Spomenula sam ga u poređenju Gvozdena i Color Line 86. U tom trenutku ga nisam imala, ali sada mogu da uporedim sva tri, iako sam ustanovila da je moj Color Line 86 izrod i da ima manje šljokica nego ostali.

Flormar 391 arraived in nail mail from Šmizla little while ago, and now it's his turn to be tried out. I've mentioned this polish in Don Juan 172 and Color Line 86 comparison. I haven't had it at that moment, but now I can compare all three, even though my Color Line 86 seems to be from a bad batch and that it has a lot less glitter than it should.

Prethodno smo imale For Audrey/mint petak,  narandžasti petak, ljubičasti petak, šljokičavi petak i ružičasti petak. Na žalost, nisam stigla da uradim ovo za Don Juan takmičenje, ali možete glasati za moj drugi dizajn ovde i ovde. Glasanje treje do 30. juna.

We've agreed at Ana.rs to have themed Fridays and all gals interested in participating paint their nails according to theme. We've had For Audrey Friday, orange Friday, purple Friday, glitter Friday, and pink Friday. Today is crackle/shatter Friday. I was late to enter this design for Don Juan contest, but you can vote for my other design till June 30th here and here.

Don Juan LK 191

Don Juan LK191 - senka

Ovaj lak (i još jedan Don Juan Graffi Top) sam uzela za drugi dizajn za Don Juan Graffi Top takmičenje, ali sam zakasnila jer sam mislila da se predlozi primaju do 30-og, a ne do 20-og juna. Do 30. juna traje glasanje, a glasati možete ovde i ovde.

I've bought this polish (along another Don Juan Graffi Top) for my second entry for Don Juan Graffi Top contest, but I came late because I thought that I can enter till June 30th instead of 20th. You can vote till June 30th here and here.

Color Club Ruby Slippers

Color Club Ruby Slippers je drugi od dva Color Club laka koje sam za smešne pare uzela na sajmu kozmetike u aprilu. Grimizne šljokice - ne mogu im odoleti. Rok trajanja na deklaraciji mu ističe sada, ali ne vidim da ovaj lak ne valja. Pakovanje je od 15 ml. Color Club lakovi ne sadrže dibutilftalat, toluen i formalin. Ne testiraju se na životinjama i ne sadrže sastojke životinjskog porekla.

Color Club Ruby Slippers is the second of the two Color Club polishes I bought cheaply at the cosmetics fair in April. I couldn't resist crimson glitter. Its expiration date is nigh, but I don't see anything wrong with this polish. Color Club polishes are 3-free and don't contain formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) and Toluene. They are not being tested on animals. They also don't contain animal products so they are vegan-friendly.

Aura She Bunny 021

Aura She Bunny 021 - direktno sunce

Prvi Aura She Bunny koji sam uzela je napokon došao na red za mazanje. Spada u onaj red crvenih lakova koje ja najviše volim - tamna, duboka, višnjasta nijansa crvene koja pri različitim osvetljenjima pokazuje različite nijanse, mada ne toliko različite kao Flormar 416. Sjaj mu je veoma visok.

It finally came turn of the first Aura She Bunny polish I bought to be tried out. This is one of the reds I like the best - deep, dark cherry red that shows different shades in different light, although not as different as Flormar 416. It has very high gloss.

Color Line 84

Color Line 84

Evo još jednog Color Line laka koji ne znam zašto sam uzela. On je plavi odgovor na ružičasti od petka - imaju iste srebrne šljoke, isti metalik sjaj i intenzitet boje. Očigledno, boje se razlikuju. Color Line 84 je azurno plav i, da je trunku zeleniji, bio bi kao Flormar Supershine Miracle U33. Tačnije, osnovna boja CL-a je skoro ista kao šljokice u U33. Naravno, Color Line nije duohrom. Neočekivano, ovaj lakić se prilično lepo mazao i skoro da može da prođe kao jednoslojac. Postojanost bez nadlaka mu nije dobra jer je počeo da se krza posle samo jednog dana.

Color Line 84

Here's another Color Line polish I have no idea why I bought in the first place. It is sort of response to the pink one from Friday - they have the same glitter/shimmer, same metallic shine and colour intensity. Obviously, the colours are different. Color Line 84 is azure blue and if it was only a bit greener, it would be like Flormar Supershine Miracle U33. To be more precise, the base colour of Color Line is almost the same as glass flecks in U33. Of course, Color Line 84 isn't a duochrome. This polish was unexpectedly easy to apply and it is almost a one-coater. It started to chip after just one day.

Color Line 18

Danas sam je na redu ružičasti lak jer smo se na forumu Ana.rs dogovorile da petkom mažemo istu boju. Danas je ružičasti petak. Prethodno smo imale For Audrey/mint petak,  narandžasti petak, ljubičasti petak i šljokičavi petak.

Today is a pink polish turn because we've agreed at Ana.rs to have themed Fridays and all gals interested in participating paint their nails according to theme. We've had For Audrey Friday, orange Friday, purple Friday and glitter Friday. Today is pink Friday.

Color Line 18 - dva sloja, bez nadlaka

Lažeš, Cajo, krvavi ti nokti

Oduševljena sam trajnošću svog prethodnog manikira. Nepromenjen je stajao do danas, kada sam na franken nakalemila krvavi frenč. Koristila sam Color Club Ruby Slippers i tačkalicu za izvlačenje "krvavih" tragova. Sam Ruby Slippers mi se veoma dopada jer ima veoma mnogo šljokica. Na crnoj osnovi se ne vidi crvena baza laka, ali šljokice baš dolaze do izražaja.

krvavi frenč

 I am thrilled with longevity of my last mani. It lasted unchanged till today, when I added bloody French tips to my franken. I used Color Club Ruby Slippers and a dotting tool to create bloody marks. I like Ruby Slippers because it is packed with glitter. Its red base colour is lost on black, but glitter is more visible.

Rimmel 080 Black Cab i Fire Within franken

Odmah posle crnih šljokica, prešla sam na crni lak sa crvenim šljokicama, ali i iskoristila priliku da isprobam Rimelov Black Cab.

Right after black glitter I put on a black polish with red glitter, and took an opportunity to try out Rimmel's Black Cab.

Rimmel Black Cab, Fire Within i Top Sealer

Rimmel I <3 kolekcija mi se za sada nije pokazala kao dobra, a vidim da ni drugi nisu njome oduševljeni. U Mauricius parfimerijama koštaju 120 dinara, a ima ih i u DM i Lilly prodavnicama po nešto većoj ceni. Ovi lakovi imaju 8 ml i pljosnatu četkicu, ali, za razliku od Rimmel LycraPro lakova, nemaju kuglicu.

I haven't found Rimmel I <3 line to be very good for now, and from what I've seen, others aren't thrilled with it either. They come in 8 ml bottles, the brush is flat, but unlike Rimmel LycraPro polishes,  they don't have a mixing ball.

Šljokeeeee

Nov petak, nov tematski manikir. Ove nedelje smo se dogovorile za šljokice. Mada imam dosta neisprobanih topera sa šljokicama, danas sam odlučila da umočim nokte u kutiju šljoka. Tačnije, prvo sam želela da namažem svoj franken od crnih šljoka (to su ove iste kineske šljoke), ali one su toliko pustile boju u lak da su bile nerazaznatljive. Zato je franken završio u đubretu, a ovo na mojim noktima. Ovo je prvi put da sam svesno uradila jednodnevni manikir. Ove šljoke će otpasti u toku dana, a nisam htela da stavim nadlak jer u ovom slučaju on ubija njihov sjaj.

Another Friday, another themed mani. This week we agreed on glitter. Even though I have many untried glitter top coats, I've decided to dip my nails in a pot of glitter. Actually, I wanted to try out my black glitter franken (made out of this same glitter), but the glitter bled so much into the base that it was indiscernible. That's why the franken ended up in the trash, and this on my nails. This is the first time I intentionally did a one-day mani. The glitter will fall off during the day, but I didn't want to put a top coat over it because it'd dull the sparkle.

Nega zanoktica

Prvo sam htela da napravim jedan post pod nazivom "Alat, oblikovanje, nega i održavanje", ali imam toliko materijala da ću morati ipak da podelim pisanije po sekcijama. U ovoj poruci ću se pozabaviti negom i uklanjanjem zanoktica. Najbolje savete i uputstva i o jednom i o drugom ima Ana (Loodieloodieloodie).

At first I wanted to write a long post on nail care, but there is so much to write about that I'll have to split it into several sections. In this post I'll deal with the cuticle care and removal. The best advice and instructions for both has Ana (Loodieloodieloodie).

Poređenje Aura Nail Beauty Hot & Chili i Flormar 365

Aura Nail Beauty 708 Hot & Chili je jedan od lakova koje je Aura jesenas povukla iz proizvodnje. Ja sam na njega slučajno nabasala i veoma mi je drago što sam ga uzela. Flormar 365 sam uzela nedavno jer mi je delovao kao moguća zamena za Hot & Chili.

Aura Nail Beauty 708 Hot & Chili is one of discontinued polishes. I was very happy to stumble upon it and I'm on the lookout for a dupe. I bought Flormar 365 because it looked as if it could be one.

Golden Rose Magnetic 115

Posle prethodnog dobrog iskustva sa Golden Rose magnetnim lakom, nije mi teško palo da uzmem još jedan (a imam još jedan u planu). Golden Rose magnetni lakovi postoje u 18 boja i tri linije. Linije se razlikuju po magnetu koji se dobija uz lak (pruge, zvezda, chevron). Boje su iste za pruge i zvezdu, ali za chevron se izgleda razlikuju.

After previous good experience with Golden Rose magnetic polish, I bought another one. Golden Rose Magnetic polishes can be found in three lines and 18 colours. The lines are distinguished by the magnet pattern (stripes, star, chevron). The colours in stripes and star lines are the same, but it seems that the chevron line colours are different.

Poređenje Don Juan 172 i Color Line 86

Don Juan 172 - Flormar 391 - Color line 86

Gvozden i Color Line 86 su lakovi koji veoma liče jedan na drugi. Osim vizuelne sličnosti, zajedničko im je to što su domaći proizvodi i što su im cene niske.

Don Juan 172 and Color line 86 are two very similar polishes. Apart from visual resemblance, they share the fact that they are both by Serbian brands and that they are inexpensive.

Magnetni lakovi

Vidim da je jedan od upita preko kojeg je neko došao na ovaj blog bio "golden rose magnetic kako se koristi" i pomislila sam da ne bi bilo loše da napišem nešto o magnetnim lakovima uopšte, a da obratim posebnu pažnju na magnetne lakove koje imam.

One of the enquiries that brought someone to my blog was "how to use Golden Rose magnetic polish" and I thought it could be useful to write a general post on magnetic polishes. And to pay special attention to the magnetic polishes I own.

Učvršćivači i ojačivači noktiju

Prvo sam htela da napravim jedan post pod nazivom "Alat, oblikovanje, nega i održavanje", ali imam toliko materijala da ću morati ipak da podelim pisanije po sekcijama. U ovoj poruci ću se pozabaviti učvršćivačima i ojačivačima noktiju u obliku lakova.

At first I wanted to write a long post on nail care, but there is so much to write about that I'll have to split it into several sections. In this post I'll deal with the nail strengtheners. Link in the product name will take you to its ingredients list.

Danas sam se odlučila za ljubičasti lak jer smo se na forumu Ana.rs dogovorile da petkom mažemo istu boju. Danas je ljubičasti petak. Prethodno smo imale For Audrey/mint petak i narandžasti petak. Boja ovog laka je veoma lepa purpurno ljubičasta, topla je i ima dosta svetlijeg šimera u sebi. Veoma me podseća na Seventeen Super Shine 493, samo je malo svetliji.

I've picked this colour today because we've agreed at Ana.rs to have themed Fridays and all gals interested in participating paint their nails according to theme. We've had For Audrey Friday and orange Friday. Today is purple/violet/lilac Friday. The colour I picked is very warm purple with lots of shimmer. It is a lighter version of Seventeen Super Shine 493.
