Red Little Circle Hidden Nail Foil Transfer


Danas predstavljam drugu od dve folije za transfer koje su mi stigle sa sajta KKCenterHK. Ove folije dolaze u rolni od 150 cm, a širine su 4 cm. Možete odabrati da kupite samo foliju (ova je NNAIL-E11) ili foliju zajedno sa lepkom (JR1004-B). Videla sam da je u nekim recenzijama umesto lepka korišten običan nadlak, ali ja to nisam ni pokušala jer sa lepkom nisam imala (mnogo) problema.

Today I'm showing you the second of the two nail foils I got from KKCenterHK. These transfer foils come in 150 cm long, 4 cm wide rolls. You can buy the foil (this one is NNAIL-E11) and glue (JR1004-B) separately or together. I have seen some reviews where top coat was used instead of glue, but I haven't even tried that technique because I didn't have (much) trouble with the glue.

Aura Professional jesenje boje I

Mogli ste na Facebooku i Instagramu da vidite da su mi stigli jesenji Aura Professional lakovi. Moram odmah da kažem da sa starijim lakovima iz ove linije nemam iskustvo jer su skoro svi utisci na koje sam naišlala bili negativni. Da li je Aura poslušala kritike, ili konzistencija laka zavisi od nijanse, tj. pigmenta koji se koristi, ili su onima koji su imali negativna iskustva zapali otvarani primerci (što kod nas na žalost nije retkost), ili je u pitanju nešto drugo tek ovi lakovi koji su meni došli su bili prijatno iznenađenje. Razmišljala sam da li svakom od ovih lakova da dodelim zaseban članak, ali sam odlučila da ih ipak predstavim u samo dva članka. Glavni razlog za to je što su im osobine prilično slične i ne bih volela da više ponavljam istu priču iz članka u članak i budem dosadna i sebi i vama. Professional lakovi imaju 6 ml, uzanu pljosnatu četkicu poput one iz Nail Beauty linije i koštaju 225 dinara. Jesenje nijanse ove linije čini deset zagasitih, prašnjavih boja prigodnih za ovo godišnje doba ukoliko vodite računa o tome. Svi ovi lakovi su krem finiša, visokog sjaja i prosečne brzine sušenja.


If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook you could see that I have received the autumn shades of Aura Professional polishes. I have to disclose that I haven't tried any of older shades from this line of polishes because almost all the impressions I could find about them were negative. I don't know if Aura listened to the criticism or the formula depends on the shade, ie pigment used or those who had had negative experience with those polishes were unfortunate to stumble upon opened bottles (which is sadly quite common) or something else happened, but these polishes I received are a very pleasant surprise. I was thinking of doing individual posts about each shade, but I decided to split them in just two post. The main reason for that is that they are very similar formula-wise and I don't want to repeat the same story over and over again. Aura Professional polishes come in 6 ml bottles, have thin flat brush and cost about 2 €. The autumn colours (the third line) is ten muted, dusty colours. Very appropriate for the season if you care about that. They are all glossy cremes of average drying time.

BCL ManiSation


Zahvaljujući Ultra Sunu bila sam u prilici da u poslednje vreme sebi organizujem veoma lepe spa manikire u kućnoj izvedbi. Koristila sam celu BCL ManiSation liniju proizvoda za manikir, ali svaki od ovih proizvoda se može nabaviti pojedinačno, u manjem i većem pakovanju, no trenutno u ponudi nema ovih najmanjih pakovanja od 89 g. BCL (Bio Creative Labs) američka je firma koja proizvodi sredstva za spa, manikir i pedikir tretmane sa organskim sastojcima. Sertifikat koji imaju je Stellar Certification Services. Na proizvodima piše da nisu testirani na životinjama i da ne sadrže sastojke životinjskog porekla, a imaju i znak srećnog zeke. Usput, sada postoji i domaći blog koji se bavi proizvođačima i proizvodima koji nisu testirani na životinjama te preporučujem da ga pogledate http://misterious28.blogspot.com/2013/11/cruelty-free-lista-kozmetickih.html. Predstavljeni proizvod sam dobila na iskrenu recenziju. Za više informacija vidite moju politiku rada.

Thanks to Ultra Sun I had the opportunity to organize very nice spa manicures for myself at home. I have used the entire BCL ManiSation line of manicure products, but each of these products can be bought individually, in smaller or bigger package. BCL (Bio Creative Labs) is an American company specialized in spa, manicure and pedicure treatments with organic ingredients. The organic certificate they hold is Stellar Certification Services. Each product package states that these products aren't tested on animals and that they don't contain animal derived ingredients. They also carry happy bunny on cruelty free and vegan product badge. I have received this product for an honest review. For additional info check my disclosure policy.

Essence Nail Art Glow In The Night Top Coat 18 Fly firefly fly


Essence Nail Art Glow In The Night Top Coat je jesenji dodatak stalnoj postavci Essence kozmetike koji sam silno želela, ali nisam očekivala da će nam stići jer spada u topere, a topera kod nas nije bilo otkad nemamo duple štandove. No Radix i DM su me prijatno obradovali kada su odlučili da nam ponude ceo asortiman topera. Essence toperi se mogu naći samo u DM radnjama. Imaju 8 ml i koštaju 249 dinara.


Essence Nail Art Glow In The Night Top Coat was part of the autumnal Essence products range change and I wanted it so much, but I never dreamed it will ever arrive in our stores because we don't have double Essence counters. The importer and DM stores, however, surprised me pleasantly when they offered us the entire range of toppers. These toppers come in 8 ml bottles and cost about 2 €.

Arrrrr!


Pirati su među nama. Danas predstavljam jedan skoriji i jedan stariji manikir. Sebi sam radila tematski manikir za Talk Like a Pirate Day (19. septembar), a nedavno sam i Mini radila manikir za drugaričin rođendan, no svoje nokte nisam stigla da sredim za tu priliku. Da, išla sam na rođendan bez laka na noktima :( Za svoj manikir sam koristila Don Juan OC229 za bazu, a potom sam slobodoručno nacrtala Veselog Rodžera lakom Don Juan LK101. Mini sam radila skittle koji svetli u mraku, no svetleći efekat nisam zabeležila aparatom (sve belo svetli). Pečatirala sam joj sidro sa Essence pločice koristeći srebrni lak za pečatiranje koji se nije pokazao baš najslavnije preko Don Juan OC229. Talasići su napravljeni uz pomoć Essence šablonskih nalepnica od pre neke godine, a lakovi su Don Juan OC257 i Essence Date in the moonlight. Veseli Rodžer je nastao uz pomoć šablonske nalepnice kupljene kod Kineza, Don Juan OC229 i Essence belog laka za pečatiranje. Prugice su Don Juan LK101 i Essence Date in the moonlight.

Pirates are among us. I am showing you one more recent and one older mani. I did nail art for Talk Like a Pirate Day (19. September), and I decorated Mina's nails for a friends birthday. Unfortunately I didn't get to do my own nails for that occasion. Yes, I went to a birthday party without any nail polish on my nails :( I have used Don Juan OC229 for base and Don Juan LK101 for freehand Jolly Roger for my mani. Mina's mani is a glow in the dark skittle (everything white glows in the dark), but I didn't capture the glow on camera. I have stamped the anchor from Essence stamping plate using silver stamping polish that didn't turn out that well over Don Juan OC229. Waves are done with Essence nail art stencils from several years ago and Don Juan OC257 and Essence Date in the moonlight. I did Jolly Roger using stencils from thrift store, Don Juan OC229 and Essence white stampy polish. Stripes are done in Don Juan LK101 and Essence Date in the moonlight.

Zoya Skylar


Dok čekamo da nam stignu ovogodišnje jesenje i zimske Zoya nijanse (uskoro, uskoro) možemo da uživamo u nekim starijim nijansama koje su prigodne za ovo doba godine. Zoya lakovi ne sadrže toluen, dibutil ftalat, formalin, formalinski rezin, kamfor, sastojke životinjskog porekla i ne testiraju se na životinjama. Svi lakovi dolaze u bočicama od 15 ml. Obični lakovi koštaju 560 dinara, a Pixie Dust 700 dinara. Zoya lakove možete nabaviti u Ultra Sun, bilo uživo bilo preko interneta, kao i kod njihovih distributera u Beogradu, Čačku i Nišu.


While we're waiting for the autumn and winter Zoya shades to arrive in Serbia, I wanted to show some older shades that fit the season. Zoya polishes don't contain toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and animal products and are not tested on animals.

Pločica koju danas predstavljam bila je pravi izazov za mene. Nikada ranije nisam pečatiranjem radila francuski manikir i zaista sam se plašila na šta će ovo ličiti. Kod ovih dezena je veoma važno dobro ih centrirati, što meni nije baš pošlo za rukom. Možete videti gde sam tokom samog pečatiranja menjala smer. Rezultat nije tragičan, ali moglo je biti i mnogo bolje.

Rimmel Black Cherries preko Essence 154 Pink & Proud

Image plate I am showing you today was a real challenge to me. I haven't stamped a French tip before and I was really afraid how these will turn out to be. It is important to align this sort of design perfectly, which I wasn't very successful at. You can see where I was trying to change the course. The result isn't tragic, but it could have been far better.

All Trind treatments come in 9 ml bottles.

Matching Manicures - skittlette


Skittlette je bio ubedljivi pobednik među predlozima za ovonedeljni usklađeni manikir. Nikada ranije nisam radila skittlette, nisam čak ni znala šta je, ali sada znam. Za ovaj manikir sam koristila samo šljokice iz Essence Superheroes kolekcije.

Skittlette manicure was the convincing winner among the ideas for this weeks matching manicure. I haven't done skittlette mani before, I didn't even know what it is, but now I know. I have used only glitter from Essence Superheroes trend edition.

Sephora Nail designer Bronze glitter


Ovim šljokicama završavam prikazivanje jesenjih noviteta u Sephora parfimerijama. Sephora Nail designer šljokice se proizvode u tri boje - crnoj, plavoj i bronzanoj. Pakovanja su od 1,2 grama i košta 950 dinara. Kutijica je dobro obezbeđena - prvo celofanom, a potom i dvostrukim poklopcem, tako da ste sigurni da vam se sadržaj neće rasuti.


With this product I am bringing reviews of autumn additions to Sephora and Sephora exclusive range to a close. Sephora Nail designer glitter is made in three colours - black, blue and bronze. It comes in 1.2 g boxes and costs about 9 €. Each box is well protected - first with a cellophane wrap and then with two caps, so you can rest assured that the product wont spill.

Color Club Beyond


Prošlogodišnji leming godine mi je bio Color Club Revvvolution. Ove godine je to bio njegov rođak na steroidima - Beyond iz kolekcije Halo Hues za 2013. godinu. Imala sam veliku sreću i zadovoljstvo da dođem do dve bočice - prvo zahvaljujući MarryJ koja je svojoj narudžbini u inostranstvu dodala i neke lakove i za mene, a otprilike u isto vreme je i divna Maria odlučila da me obraduje ovim lakom, znajući da mi je na vrhu liste želja. Obema sam neizmerno zahvalna.


Last year my lemming of the year was Color Club Revvvolution. This year it was it's sibling on steroids - Beyond from Halo Hues collection for 2013. I was fortunate to get my hands on two bottles - first thanks to MarryJ who was kind enough to add some polishes for me to her order while she was abroad, and at about the same time lovely Maria decided to gladden me with this polish, knowing it is on top of my wish list. I am immensely grateful to both of them.

Danas za vas imam pločicu za pečatiranje sa veoma različitim motivima - od simpatičnog prolećnog dezena sa leptirom i cvećem, preko veoma elegantnog stilizovanog cvetnog motiva do slike koja me asocira na porcelan do božićno-novogodišnjeg dezena. I izbor kombinacija lakova mi je sa ovim motivima bio veoma jednostavan, a imala sam sreću da su se svi lakovi koje sam odabrala za pečatiranje veoma dobro pokazali u toj ulozi.

Rimmel Black Cherries preko L'Oreal Jet Set 115

Today I have for you a stamping plate with very varied designs - from cute springtime image with butterflies and flowers to a very elegant floral motif to an image that reminds me of fine china to a christmas-y holiday design. It was also very easy to choose polishes that would work with these images and I was fortunate enough that all the polishes I picked to stamp with turned out to be great as stamping polishes.

Matching Manicures - ombre


Ove nedelje usklađujemo manikire tako što ćemo sve raditi ombre manikir. Stoji mi već mesecima neobjavljen jedan ombre manikir, ali on će sačekati tmurne dane jer su u pitanju nijanse žute. Za ovu priliku sam radila zeleni ombre, ali nisam sasvim zadovoljna kako je ispao. Od najsvetlijeg ka najtamnijem sam koristila redom: China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, Twee & Honey Hipster Zombie, S.he Stylezone 312, Essence The green and the grunge, Crisnail Vert Nuit.


This week our matching manicures are ombre. I have one unpublished ombre mani, but that one will wait for one of the grey days because it is in shades of yellow. For this MM I did green ombre, but I'm not entirely happy with the result. The shades I used are from the lightest to the darkest: China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, Twee & Honey Hipster Zombie, S.he Stylezone 312, Essence The green and the grunge, Crisnail Vert Nuit.

Essence Colour & go 060 Fateful Desire


Uspela sam lepše da uslikam jedan od svojih omiljenih lakova - Essence Fateful Desire. On je izbačen iz ponude jesenas kada su menjali dizajn bočice. Uživajte u slikama. Sve su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Imam dva sloja laka i nemam nadlak.


I managed to take better photos of one of my favourite polishes - Essence Fateful Desire. This polish has been discontinued last fall when Essence changed the bottle design. All photos were taken in daylight. I have two coats of polish and no top coat.

Ciaté Corrupted Neons Manicure setovi su jesenji novitet u Sephora parfimerijama. Ovi setovi postoje u četiri boje, ali kod nas sam videla samo dve - žutu (Megaphone) i ružičastu (Shout Out). Meni je Coxy prosledila Megaphone set da vam predstavim.

Ciaté lakovi imaju 13,5 ml, šljokica ima 10 g, a nadlak je u bočici od 5 ml. Ovi setovi koštaju 2950 dinara i kod nas se mogu naći samo u Sephora parfimerijama.

U postu o pečatiranju ste imali priliku da vidite ovu pločicu na delu, kao i dva dezena sa nje. Pre nego što sam napravila taj članak o pečatiranju već sam bila spremila jedan, po sadržaju isti i sa istom pločicom, ali kako sam u međuvremenu nabavila silikonski podmetač odlučila sam da slike sa haotičnom pozadinom koje sam već snimila zamenim mirnijima i jasnijima. Ovog puta nisam baš najbolje uklapala lakove, tako da su neke šare manje vidiljive, ali su sve veoma lepe i odlično se prenose. Sa ovom pločicom čak nisam morala da tražim neke posebne uglove i smerove za grebanje ili prenošenje slika.

China Glaze GR8 preko Trind Emerald Swirl

You could see this stamping plate and two motifs from it in my stamping tutorial post. I had made another tutorial with the same plate, but that was before I bought the silicone mat and those photos were taken with a chaotic background you get to see now. This time I didn't match the polishes in the best way possible, so some designs are less visible, but they are all lovely and transfer perfectly. I didn't even need to look for special angles and directions to scrape or pick up images.

Maybelline Colorama Polka Dots 197 Chalk Dust

Polka Dots kolekcija Maybelline Colorama lakova je prošlog meseca stigla u naše drogerije i tokom oktobra je u DMu bila na sniženju. Ovu kolekciju čine četiri laka i jedan toper. Jedino sam toper uzela. Maybelline Colorama lakovi imaju 7 ml i koštaju 249 dinara.


Polka Dots line of Maybelline Colorama polishes arrived in Serbian drugstores last month. It consists of four polishes and a topper. The topper is the only one I got. Maybelline Colorama polishes come in 7 ml bottles and cost about 2 €.

Vichy Idealia Life Serum


Možda vam je neobično da na mom blogu vidite naziv proizvoda koji ne povezujete sa ulepšavanjem i negom noktiju, ali ne bojte se. Ne prelazim na priču o nezi lica već se zadržavam na nezi ruku, mada ću svakako da spomenem i dejstvo ovog proizvoda koje sam primetila na licu. U septembru sam imala zadovoljstvo da prisustvujem promociji Vichy Idealia Life Seruma. O samoj manifestaciji ste možda čitali kod drugih blogerki koje su bile tamo. Ja samo mogu reći da je za mene to bilo zanimljivo iskustvo, sa nekim zastrašujućim podacima. Ja se inače veoma nemarno odnosim prema svojoj koži i to pokušavam da promenim od Beauty planete. Ovo je naredni korak.
Vichy Idealia Life Serum sadrži 30 ml proizvoda i preporučena maloprodajna cena mu je 4.238,64 RSD. Predstavljeni proizvod sam dobila na iskrenu recenziju. Za više informacija vidite moju politiku rada.

It may be unusual to see the name of a product not normally connected with nail care, but fear not. I will not deviate from my hand and nail care path, although today I will have to mention the effects I have noticed on my face as well. This September I had the pleasure to attend the Vichy Idealia Life Serum launch event in Serbia. You may have read about the event itself at my fellow attendees' blogs. I can only say that it was an interesting and frightening experience. I don't take very good care of my skin and I have been trying to mend my ways since Beauty planet. This is the next step. Vichy Idealia Life Serum comes in 30 ml bottle. I have received this product for an honest review. For additional info see my disclosure policy.
