Oktobar


Oktobar je očekivano bio bogat novitetima, ali nisam očekivala da će biti ovoliko bogat. Prosto se brinem šta će mi ostati da kupim u novembru :D Stigle su jesenje i zimske OPI kolekcije - San Francisco i Mariah Carey Holiday by OPI. I China Glaze zimska kolekcija Happy Holiglaze je stigla u Alexandar, a sa njom i setovi. Što praznični što Ombre, što sa znakom borbe protiv raka dojke. Halloween kolekcija nije stigla. U pojedine Lilly drogerije su ubačeni Golden Rose štandovi, ali ponuda lakova na njima je veoma skromna. Iz Mauricijusa na Terazijama je izbačen Essence štand, a ubačen Decodermov. Kada sam kod Mauricijusa, u novembru treba da stignu Rimmel Space Dust lakovi, mada samo dve boje. I još jedna stvar koju sam primetila tek u oktobru je da Depend sredstva za negu noktiju možete kupiti i u DMu i u Liliju i to po istoj ceni kao u Mauricijusu. Domaći novitet koji nas očekuje je dodatak Aura Professional liniji lakova. Nadam se da će ove boje biti kvalitetnije od prve serije.

October was expectedly filled with new polishes, but I didn't expect them to be this much. I worry if there is something left for me to get in November :D Autumn and winter OPI collections San Francisco and Mariah Carey Holiday by OPI have arrived in Serbia. So has Happy Holiglaze by China Glaze, but not Monster's Ball. We did get China glaze holiday, ombre and BCA sets. Some of Lilly drugstores got Golden Rose counters, but nail polish is sparse on those. We expect two Rimmel Space Dust shades to arrive in November. Depend nail care line is now available in both DM and Lilly drugstores. And the Serbian manufacturer Aura is releasing an addition to the Professional nail polish range.

Mavala sredstvo za uklanjanje zanoktica


Mogli ste da primetite kroz proizvode koje kupujem i predstavljam na blogu da kada su proizvodi za nokte u pitanju ja uglavnom ne smatram da važi pravilo "koliko para, toliko i muzike". Uglavnom. Sredstva za uklanjanje zanoktica koja sam do sada koristila zapravo potvrđuju pravilo jer jeftinija sredstva su mi bila lošija od skupljih. Pošto sam ga testirala tokom prethodnih mesec dana, danas predstavljam jedno od skupljih sredstava - hvaljeno Mavala sredstvo za uklanjanje zanoktica. Mavala proizvode možete kupiti u Jasmin i Glamour parfimerijama. Puna cena mu je 1069 dinara, ali Jasmin prilično često daje 20 % popusta na sve proizvode koji nisu već na sniženju. To znači da Mavala Cuticle remover možete kupiti i za 855 dinara.


From my posts, from the products I buy and show here, you could notice that I don't think that there is a correlation between the price and the quality of nail products and that goes for most of the stuff. When it comes to cuticle removers, however, it turned out that the cheaper the product, the less pleased I was with the result. After I've been testing it for a month, today I have one of the more expensive cuticle removers to show - the highly praised Mavala Cuticle remover.

Matching Manicures - Halloween


Ove nedelje je odlučeno skoro jednoglasno da radimo usklađeni manikir inspirisan Noći veštica. Ovo je jedna od tema gde imam gomilu ideja i na kraju završim sa najjednostavnijim mogućim manikirom. Sada mi je jasno da bi bilo bolje da sam obrnula boje i da se crvena sliva ka slobodnoj ivici nokta, no to mi ostaje za neki drugi put. Koristila sam Don Juan One Coat lakove 228 i 230.


The theme for this week's matching manicure, which was almost unanimously chosen, is Halloween manicure. This is one of those themes I have so many ideas for, but end up with the simplest one. I realize I should have reversed the colours and let red drip towards the free edge of the nail, but I'll leave that for some other time. I used Don Juan One Coat polishes 228 and 230.

Deadpool mani sa Mistiqarts

Kada sam pre nekoliko nedelja dobila poruku od Mine sa predlogom da radimo Deadpool manikir, nisam imala pojma o čemu se radi. Za razliku od nje ja se veoma slabo razumem u stripove, posebno o superherojima. No ovo nije bio zahtevan manikir, a prati ga i njen video klip u kome crta Deadpoola.Mina će danas na Sajmu knjiga na štandu ambasade Japana crtati portrete posetilaca, a u Strip sali će biti održan stripski cosplay te vam predlažem da danas svratite na sajam.
Several weeks ago when I received a Message from Mina suggesting we do a Deadpool mani, I had no idea what she wanted. Unlike her, I know next to nothing about comics, especially superhero ones. But this turned out to be not a difficult mani, and there's a video of her drawing Deadpool.

Pečatiranje - uputstva i saveti

Pošto nameravam ubuduće češće da pečatiram, a posle prethodnih postova o pečatiranju sam dobijala pitanja šta i kako treba da se radi, napravila sam malo uputstvo u kome sam pokušala da objasnim kako se pečatira, kao i da podelim neke trikove koje sam naučila i koji mogu da olakšaju pečatiranje. Ovo je jednostavan način na koji možete na svoje nokte preneti veoma kompleksne šare, posebno ako poput mene ne umete da nacrtate krug oko novčića. Dajte pečatiranju šansu jer vam kada se malo uvežbate neće biti potrebno ni mnogo strpljenja ni mnogo vremena, a rezultat može biti zadivljujuć.

Since I intend to do a lot more stamping in future, and I did get some how-to questions after previous articles on stamping, I decided to do instructions as well as share some tips and tricks I learned that could help you with stamping. This is a simple way to get very complex designs on your nails, which is great if, like me, you can't draw a circle around a penny. Give stamping a shot because once you get some practice you won't need much patience or time, and the result can be stunning.

Trind Caring Color 196 Emerald Swirl


U pregledu sa sajma sam spomenula da se Trind kozmetika ponovo može nabaviti u Srbiji jer posle više godina imamo novog uvoznika - Kolino d.o.o. Svoje oduševljenje ovom vešću ne verujem da mogu da verno prenesem, ali ću pokušati da vam dočaram svoja iskustva sa Trind proizvodima kako biste bolje shvatili otkud da se toliko radujem zbog prisustva ove firme na našem tržištu. Trind je holandska firma osnovana pre 25 godina. Speciajlizovani su za negu ruku i prirodnih noktiju. Pre više od deset godina, kada sam počela da koristim njihove proizvode, u ponudi su imali desetak proizvoda, od kojih sam probala sedam. Sada imaju mnogo širu lepezu različitih proizvoda, uključujući i negujuće lakove za nokte. Zadovoljstvo mi je da vam danas predstavim jedan od lakova iz kolekcije Beauty of Nature za jesen-zimu 2013. godine.


I have mentioned in my Cosmetics fair overview (although only in Serbian) that Trind cosmetics is available again in Serbia. What I couldn't communicate to you is how thrilled I am because of that. That is why I'll try to convey my thoughts and experiences with Trind products so that you could understand why I'm so delighted with this company's presence on our market. Trind is a Dutch company, founded 25 years ago. They specialise in hand and natural nails care. Over then years ago, when I first started to use Trind, they had dozen products. Now they have much wider range of care products, as well as Caring Color line on nail polishes. It is my pleasure to show you one of colours from Beauty of Nature collection for autumn-winter 2013.

Matching Manicures - tačka, tačka, tačkica


Nisam dala svoj doprinos prošlom Matching Manicures, posvećenom podizanju svesti o raku dojke. Nemam ružičaste lakove, a i šljokice u toj boji sam prosledila. No danas tačkamo nokte i to je nešto što rado činim. Ovog puta sam pokušala da uradim uklapanje dve boje poput slagalice. Nije ispalo savršeno, ali nisam nezadovoljna. Ovaj manikir posvećujem Di jer ona voli neutralne boje i veoma lepo ih nosi. Za manikir sam koristila Don Juan One Coat lakove u nijansama 229 i 230.


I didn't contribute to the last week's Matching Manicures, which was BCA-themed. I don't have any pink polish and I also gave away all of my pink glitters and decorations. But today we are doing a dotticure and that is something I gladly do. This time I tried to do combine two colours like puzzle pieces. It didn't turn out perfectly, but I'm not dissatisfied. I dedicate this mani to Di because she loves neutral shades and wears them so well. I used Don Juan One Coat polishes in shades 229 and 230.

MoYou Nails 13


Spremate li se za Noć veštica? Ako me pratite na Instagramu (@cajkinekandze) ili Facebooku (Cajkine kandze i sve njihove boje) mogli ste da vidite nove MoYou Nails pločice koje su mi stigle. Među njima je pločica N13, pločica sa motivima prigodnim za Noć veštica.



Are you getting ready for Halloween? If you follow me on Instagram (@cajkinekandze) or Facebook (Cajkine kandze i sve njihove boje) you may have seen new MoYou Nails image plates that I received. One of them is N13, a plate with Halloween-themed designs.

Sephora L63 Be a Millionaire


Predstavljanje Sephora proizvoda nastavljam lakom koji je veoma u mom fazonu i kome sam se prilično radovala. Be a Millionaire je tamno-zelena krema visokog sjaja i nadala sam se da će biti sve ono što Essence Deep Sea, Baby nije, ali nije mi se ispunila želja. Mada se po nijansi razlikuju, i ovaj je lak toliko taman da se zeleni ton uglavnom jedva vidi, što mi je veoma žao. Kao što sa poredbene slike možete videti, plavlji je od Deep Sea, Baby (na slici pogrešno nazvanog The green & the grunge) i malo je zadimljeniji.


I continue reviews of Sephora polishes with a lacquer that is really my type of colour and which I was really looking forward to. Be a Millionaire is a dark green glossy creme I was hoping will be everything Essence Deep Sea, Baby isn't, but my wish wasn't granted. Although they differ in shade, this one too is so dark that most of the time the green tone is barely visible, and I'm sorry that is the case. As you can see from the comparison photo, it is bluer in tone than Deep Sea, Baby (misnamed The green & the grunge in the photo) and it is a bit smokier.

BPS Black Square stud rhinestone


Htea sam malo da se igram teksturama pa sam taman upotrebila crne nitne sa sajta Born Pretty Store. Nitne su veoma niske piramide kvadratne osnove dimenzija 3x3 mm. Na sajtu kažu da su ove nitne napravljene od aluminijuma, ali ne znam koliko je boja zaštićena te ih ne bih izlagala acetonu. Kako dolaze u pakovanju od oko 150 komada nema preterane potrebe za štednjom jer ih ima zaista dosta.

I wanted to play with texture so I used these black studs from Born Pretty Store. These are very short pyramids with square 3x3 mm base. They say on the website that they are made of aluminium, but I don't know how protected is the coloured part so I wouldn't expose them to acetone. They come in bags with about 150 pieces and there is no overt need to save them.

22. sajam kozmetike Dodir Pariza

Danas i sutra se u hali 2 beogradskog Sajma održava 22. sajam kozmetike Dodir Pariza. Ovog puta sam išla bez spiska za kupovinu, sa namerom da više pažnje posvetim skupljanju informacija o proizvodima umesto da kao muva bez glave projurim kroz sajam, pokupim stvari sa liste i odem pre nego što se napravi gužva. Plan sam donekle ostvarila, a potom sam srela što forumašice što blogerke, neke po prvi put, te sam se malo družila sa njima.

Sephora L35 Jealous

Spomenula sam vam u mesečnom pregledu da je jedna od mojih dobrih vila Coxy, koja mi je ponudila da uradim recenzije nekoliko Sephora i Sephora exclusive proizvoda za nokte. Ovaj ciklus započinjem lakom veoma netipičnim za mene i neuobičajenim za ovo godišnje doba. U pitanju je novitet u jesenjoj ponudi Sephora lakova - L35 Jealous. Svi Sephora lakovi sadrže 5 ml i koštaju 520 dinara. Mnogo mi se dopada što Sephora ima testere za svoje lakove tako da ih možete isprobati pre nego što se odlučite na kupovinu.


I have mentioned in my monthly overview that one of my fairy godmothers last month was Coxy, who offered me Sephora and Sephora exclusive nail products to review. I start off this series of articles with an unusual colour for me and for the season. It is a new arrival from Sephora autumn collection - L35 Jealous. Sephora polishes come in 5 ml bottles and their retail price is 4,9 €. What I like about Sephora polishes is that in stores they have testers and you can try the polish on before you decide whether to buy one or not.

Elipsaste nitne


Jeste li spremni za za još jedne nitne sa KKCenterHk? Danas vam predstavljam čelično-sive nitne u obliku elipse NNAIL-DRN640. Ovo su metalne nitne dimenzija 6x3 mm prilično sličnih osobina kao prethodne koje sam predstavila. U pakovanju je oko 50 komada. Mogu se koristiti više puta, što je odlično. Za uklanjanje tragova laka i/ili nadlaka preporučujem potapanje nitni u čist aceton.


Are you ready for more studs from KKCenterHk? Today I'll show you steel-grey ellipse-shaped NNAIL-DRN640 studs. The dimensions of these metal studs are 6x3 mm. Apart from the shape, they are pretty much the same as the last ones I reviewed. There are about 50 pieces in a pack. They are reusable, which is an upside. I recommend dipping the studs in pure acetone in order to remove traces of polish and/or top coat.

Matching Manicures - Džgradijent


Ako pratite šta se dešava na kozmetičkim blogovima zemalja bivše Jugoslavije mogli ste da vidite da se nedeljom mnoge blogerke udruže i mažu nokte na zadatu temu. Ja zbog zakazanih članaka nisam mogla da pišem o prethodna dva manikira u kojima sam učestvovala, ali zato od ove nedelje možete očekivati ovakav članak svake nedelje.


If you are following ex-YU cosmetics blogs, you may have noticed that many bloggers join in on Sundays to do a matching manicure. I couldn't post about it earlier because of scheduled posts, but from today on you can expect a matching manicure post every Sunday.

Essence French Manicure Brush


Essence četkica za francuski manikir je nova četkica u Essence ponudi. Široka je 7 mm i karakterična je po tome što su vlakna poređana tako da oblikuju udubljeni polukrug, koji bi trebalo da olakša izvlačenje smajli linije, kao i polumesec linije za moon manikir. Ima je u Lilly drogerijama, a možda će je biti i u DMu. Košta 219 dinara. Predstavljeni proizvod sam dobila na iskrenu recenziju. Za više informacija vidite moju politiku rada.

Essence Colour & go 165 Here's My Number i Essence Colour & go 156 Me & My Lover

Essence French Manicure Brush is a new brush in Essence range. It is 7 mm wide and is special because it has a semicircular curve inward, which should make painting smiley line as well as moon mani line easier. I have received this product for an honest review. For additional info see my disclosure policy.

MoYou Nails 217


Veoma mi je žao što nemam više vremena i prilike za pečatiranje, posebno sada kada imam zaista divne pločice. Slučajno sam letos saznala za britansku firmu MoYou Nails koja pravi fantastične pločice za pečatiranje sa motivima kakve nisam videla kod drugih proizvođača. Zadovoljstvo mi je da vam danas predstavim jednu od dve pločice koje sam dobila na recenziju.


I am so sorry I don't have more time for stamping, especially now I have really gorgeous image plates. This summer I have accidentally learned about British company MoYou Nails which makes fantastic stamping plates with designs I haven't seen other manufacturers have. It is my pleasure to show you one of two image plates I received to review.

Septembar


Ovog meseca svi noviteti nisu uspeli da stanu u kutiju u koju odlažem mesečne novitete (samo tako mogu da napravim ovaj članak i da ne propustim nešto). U septembru su me posetile tri dobre vile, a uvećanju moje kolekcije su doprinele i rasprodaje i sniženja kojih je bilo dosta ovog meseca. Tu su pali Mavala sredstvo za uklanjanje zanoktica i Deborah Shine Tech 83, stari Sephora lakovi, kao i S.he lakovi, koje pod drugim okolnostima sigurno ne bih ni pogledala. U Kristabell sam krajnje neplanirano uzela jedan Golden Rose Carnival lak, ali sam iskopala i nešto za šta nisam znala da je ikada postojalo - stari Aurin dvostruki lak sa ljuspicama. Noviteti u prodavnicama su jesenji Essie lakovi, tačnije pet od šest iz For the Twill of It kolekcije. Uvezeni su novi Golden Rose lakovi: cela 3D kolekcija, kao i nove nijanse Matte i Impression lakova. Nove OPI kolekcije su stigle i u Primax apoteke i u Nail Line i u Seforu. U Seforu su stigli i novi Sefora, Ciate i Nails inc lakovi. Što se predstojećih novina tiče, u oktobru očekujemo Monsters Ball kolekciju China Glaze lakova, kao i novogodišnju Happy Holiglaze kolekciju. Takođe treba da stignu nove Konad pločice u Nail Line. Početkom novembra bi trebalo da nam stignu dve od pet Rimmel Space Dust nijansi. Među njima nije ona kojoj sam se najviše nadala (Total Eclipse), ali i ove dve koje će stići (Aurora i Moon Walking) veoma su lepe. Sajam kozmetike će biti održan 12. i 13. oktobra i veoma mu se radujem.

This month I couldn't fit all the new stuff in the box I keep my new arrivals in (that is the only way I can make these posts without missing something). Three fairy godmothers had paid me a visit in September, and numerous sales and discounts also helped me increase my nail polish stash. That's how I came to buying Mavala Cuticle remover, Deborah Shine Tech 83, old Sephora polishes, as well as S.he polishes I wouldn't otherwise give a glance. I did get an unplanned Golden Rose Carnival polish, and I dug up something I never knew existed - a double sided Aura nail polish with flakies. What's new in stores is Essie autumn collection, Golden Rose 3D collection, as well as new shades of Matte and Impression polishes. New OPI collections arrived as did new Sephora, Ciate and Nails inc. nail products. We expect China Glaze Monsters Ball and Happy Holiglaze collections to arrive in October. New Konad plates should be available in Nail Line, just in time for Cosmetics fair.
