China Glaze Some Like It Haute

Želim vam srećnu, lepu i uspešnu Novu godinu. Meni su se nokti oporavili od nedavnih lomljenja pa vam posle dosta vremena prikazujem lak koji zapravo i nosim trenutno na noktima. Ovo je bio moj prvi China Glaze lak, a poslednji koji isprobavam i tužno je što je čekao više od godinu dana da ga prvi put namažem. China Glaze lakovi imaju 15 ml i koštaju 387 ili 489 dinara u zavisnosti od kolekcije. Možete ih nabaviti kod uvoznika Alexandar Cosmetics ili kod njihovih distributera u drugim gradovima.

I wish you very happy, beautiful and successful New Year. My nails have recovered from recent breakages and after a long time I am showing you the polish I am actually wearing now. This was my first China Glaze polish to buy and the last one to be worn and it is sad it had to wait over a year to be worn for the first time. China Glaze polishes come in 15 ml bottles.

Essence Colour³ 01, 04 i 05

Essence Colour³ lakovi su se pojavili prošlog proleća, a sada su povučeni iz proizvodnje. U pitanju su dvostrani lakovi od dva puta po 4 ml. Ima ih šest i svaki se sastoji iz osnovne boje i boje za mazanje preko. Odrednica "na kub" odnosi se na trostruku mogućnost nošenja ovog laka - osnovna boja samostalno, osnovna boja sa "pomoćnom" bojom preko i "pomoćna" boja samostalno.

Essence Colour³ nail polishes were placed on the market last spring and were discontinued this spring. These are two-sided wand polishes with two times 4 ml. There are six of them and every one consists of base and layering colour. I guess that the "cube" part of the name refers to the threefold way of wearing it - base colour alone, layering colour over base colour and layering colour alone.

Golden Rose Holiday 64

Golden Rose Holiday 64 je lak sa kojim nisam načisto da li mi se dopada ili ne. U pitanju je cigla-crveni metalik teksturisani lak koji, za razliku od drugih Holiday lakova koje imam ne sadrži ikakve šljokice. U bočici izgleda kao lep cigla-crveni saten i tako izgleda i na noktu dok se ne osuši. Onda se taj satenski sjaj  pretvara u metalik odsjaj. Granule koje daju teksturu su sitne i prilično retke. Puna boja se dobija iz dva sloja, ali moguće je da će vam biti potreban i treći sloj kako biste dobili ujednačeno teksturisanu površinu. Za razliku od drugih teksturisanih lakova, ovaj mi se izlizao na vrhovima prstiju u roku od jednog dana.

Golden Rose Holiday 64 is a polish I'm still unclear whether I like it or not. This is a metallic brick red textured polish that, unlike other Holiday polishes I have, doesn't have any glitter. In the bottle it looks like lovely brick red satin and it translates on the nail until it dries. Then the satiny shine turns into metallic one. The granules that give the texture are small and sparse. Full colour is achieved in two coats, but third coat may be needed in order to achieve evenly textured surface. I had some tipwear within a day, unlike with other textured polishes.

Born Pretty Holo Polish #7

Kada je proletos Born Pretty Store najavio svoju kolekciju holo lakova organizovali su i nagradnu igru u kojoj su podelili 200 bočica ovih lakova. Ja sam bila među srećnim dobitnicama, a lak koji mi je stigao nosi broj 7. Born Pretty holo lakovi sadrže svega 6 ml i prilično su skupi po redovnoj ceni od 12,88 $, ali veoma često su na sniženju pa ih možete kupiti i po 60% nižoj ceni. Poštarina je besplatna, a Born Pretty Store šalje širom sveta.

When Born Pretty Store announced the arrival of their holo polishes they organized a giveaway in which they gave away 200 bottles of polish. I was among the lucky winners and the polish I got bears the name #7. Born Pretty holo polishes come in 6 ml bottles and at retail price of 12.88 $ they are quite expensive, but they are often at special offers and you can get them at 30 %-60 % lower price. Born Pretty Store has free worldwide shipping.

Morgan Taylor Chain Reaction

Morgan Taylor Chain Reaction (50067) je veoma lepa čelično siva folija bez visokog sjaja. Dok sam ga mazala imala sam utisak kao da zaista nanosim opiljke metala na nokte jer svetlucavih čestica koje mu daju boju ima veoma mnogo i oseća se kako ne klize baš lako jedne preko drugih. Četkica je mekana i olakšava nanošenje laka. Potrebna su dva sloja za ujednačenu boju i punu pokrivenost nokta. Suši se relativno brzo. Pošto nema visok sjaj već veoma specifičan mat metalik izgled odlučila sam da ne stavljam nadlak preko njega. Ovakav finiš je prilično zahvalan jer se u njemu ne vide tragovi posteljine ili kose (nije ih bilo), a greške se mogu lako popraviti, a da se ne vidi gde je popravljano. Drugog dana mi se pojavila bela linija na vrhovima noktiju, a četvrtog je lak počeo i da se krza. Za skidanje preporučujem metod folije. Chain Reaction (koji ja uporno zovem Chainmaille) se može skinuti na običan način, ali svetlucave čestice se rasipaju na sve strane i bolje je zadržati ih na jednom mestu uz pomoć folije.

Morgan Taylor Chain Reaction (50067) is a fine steel grey flat foil. While I was painting my nails I felt as I was applying metal shavings on my nails because metallic particles that make the colour and finish of this polish are many and you can feel they don't glide easily over each other. The brush is soft and makes application of this polish easier. It takes two coats for even colour and full coverage. The drying time is fast. Since this polish isn't glossy, but looks sort of metallic matte I decided not to cover it with top coat. This finish is very useful because it doesn't show sheet marks and it can be easily fixed without visible marks of repair. I have had some tipwear on day two and the polish chipped on the fourth day. For removal I recommend foil method. While Chain Reaction (I keep calling it Chainmaille) can be removed in a usual manner, the sparkly particles tend to stick to whatever they touch so I think it would be better to contain them in one place using foil.

Zoya Diana

Zoya Diana (ZP091) jedan je od klasičnih Zoya lakova, što znači da ne pripada nekoj sezonskoj kolekciji već da je znatno starija nijansa. U pitanju je jarka nijansa skoro paradajz crvene boje i krem završnice. Pigmentisanost laka je dobra, ali i sa dva sloja možete videti da mi se vidi izrasli deo nokta. Za duže nokte bi možda bilo bolje naneti tri sloja. S obzirom na to da se lak suši prilično brzo to ne bi trebalo da bude problem. Što se mazanja tiče, ono je išlo bez ikakavih problema. Nosila sam lak samo preko baze, bez nadlaka (ne stavljam nadlak ako se lak suši brzo). Nije mi obojio nokte. Sjaj mu je visok, ali bih preporučila nošenje nadlaka za održavanje ili osveženje sjaja narednog dana. Posle tri dana su mi se izlizale ivice noktiju, ali boja je stajala neokrznuta.

Zoya Diana (ZP091) is one of classic Zoya polishes, which means it wasn't a part of some collection, but that it is much older shade. This is very bright, almost tomato red creme polish. It is well pigmented, but you can see visible nail line with two coats of polish. I'd recommend wearing three coats on longer nails. Considering this polish dries fast that shouldn't pose a problem. As far as application is concerned, it was smooth, without any issues. I wore this polish over base coat, but without top coat (I don't use top coat if polish dries fast). It didn't stain my nails. The gloss is high, but I'd suggest wearing top coat or adding it the next day in order to maintain or freshen up the shine. I had tipwear after three days, but no chips or cracks.

Don Juan One Coat OC231

Ovaj lak se baš načekao da objavim članak o njemu. OC231 je drugi od dva letnja Don Juan One Coat laka u boji kože. Za razliku od OC230 ovaj baš vuče na ružičasto. Ovo je prilično hladna nijansa ružičaste. Nisam sigurna da mi se dopada kako mi stoji jer čini da mi prsti deluju sivo, mrtvo, mada se to sa slika ne bi reklo. Pigmentovaniji je od OC230 i zaista potpuno pokriva iz jednog sloja. Divno se maže, brzo se suši i sjaj mu je visok.

This is one from the vault. OC231 is the second of two nude Don Juan One Coat polishes. Unlike OC230 this one leans heavily toward pink. This is quite a cool-toned pink. I'm not sure I like the way it looks on me because it gives me zombie hands, even though pictures don't show it. It is more pigmented than OC230 and it does give full coverage in just one coat. The application is amazingly smooth, it dries fast and has very high gloss.

Essence Superheroes 01 Fantastic Girl

Drugi Essence Superheroes lak koji mi je bio zanimljiv je Fantastic Girl. Ovo je prvi lak sa termo efektom koji sam imala priliku da uzmem pa sam ga kupila bez obzira na to što je u boji koja nikako ne ide uz mene. Ovi lakovi imaju 8 ml, koštaju 289 dinara i ima ih samo u Lilly drogerijama.

Fantastic Girl is the other nail polish from the Essence Superheroes trend edition I was interested in. This is the first thermal polish I had the chance to try so I bought it despite the colour which is so not me. These polishes come in 8 ml bottles and cost about 3 €.

Essence Superheroes 03 Power Girl

Već sam vam pokazala dekoracije iz Superheroes kolekcije Essence kozmetike. Danas ću vam predstaviti jedan od dva laka koja sam najviše iščekivala. U kolekciji postoji šest lakova, svi su različitih boja i sa različitim efektima. Imaju 8 ml i koštaju 289 dinara. Ova kolekcija se može naći samo u Lilly drogerijama.

I have already shown you decorations from Essence Superheroes trend edition. Today I will show you one of the two polishes I was looking forward to the most. There are six polishes in the collection, all in different colours and with different effects. They all come in 8 ml bottle.

Essence Superheroes dekoracije

Napokon se Superheroes kolekcija pojavila i u našim Lilijima. Cela kolekcija je posvećena noktima i sastoji se od šest lakova za nokte, skidača laka, tri vrste šljokica, četkice za nanošenje šljokica, dve vrste nalepnica i nesesera-tašnice. Zadovoljstvo mi je da vam konačno predstavim dekoracije koje sam dobila na recenziju, a u nekom od kasnijih postova ću vam pokazati i par lakova iz ove kolekcije koje sam odabrala. Neseser neću predstavljati, samo ću spomenuti da košta 399 dinara i da ga nosim u torbi uz svoj redovni neseser. U ovom držim priručnu turpiju i balzam za zanoktice. Predstavljene proizvode sam dobila na iskrenu recenziju. Za više informacija vidite moju politiku rada.

Superheroes trend edition finally hit our drugstores. The entire collection is nails-related and sonsists of six nail polishes, a polish remover, three sorts of glitter dust, a brush for glitter application, two sets of stickers and a cosmetics bag-purse. It is my pleasure to finally be able to show you the products I received for review, and I will show you a couple of polishes I picked from the collection. I won't show you the cosmetics bag, I'll just say I carry it in my bag alongside my usual cosmetics bag and I use it to keep a spare nail file and cuticle balm. I have received these products for an honest review. For additional info see my disclosure policy.

MoYou Nails 204

MoYou Nails 204 je poslednja MoYou Nails pločica koju ću predstaviti ove godine. Na njoj se nalazi sedam slika od kojih mi jedna uopšte nije zanimljiva i nadam se da mi nećete zameriti što vam je neću pokazati. To je motiv "Love" a ja nisam pristalica ispisivanja (ili pečatiranja) reči po noktima. Preostalih šest motiva (simboli sa karata, pahulje, zvezde, vila, floralni motiv i četvorolisti) sam kombinovala u četiri manikira od kojih ste jedan već imali priliku da vidite u snežnom usklađenom manikiru. Svi su motivi dobro urezani, ali za pahuljice, zvezde i simbole sa karata treba tražiti ugao za grebanje. Zato na mojm noktima možete videti manje i više uspešne transfere jer sam tražila najbolji mogući ugao.

Kiko Silver preko China Glaze Strap on Your Moonboots

MoYou Nails 204 is the last MoYou Nails image plate I am going to show you this year. It has seven images, one of which is quite uninteresting to me and I hope you won't mind if I don't show it. It is a "Love" image and I am not a supporter of written (or indeed stamped) words on nails. I have combined the other six images (card suits, snowflakes, stars, fairy, floral motif and quatrefoils) in four manicures, one of which you had the chance to see in snowy matching manicures. All motifs are well etched, but card suits, snowflakes and stars require some scraping angle-searching. That is why you can see some more and less successful transfers of my nails. I was looking for the best possible scraping angle.

Sephora Makeup Academy Nail Art i Nail Designer Tie Dye

Videli ste lakove, a sada ćete videti zvezdaste nitne i kako sam kombinovala lakove iz Sephora Makeup Academy seta. Takođe ću iskoristiti priliku da predstavim proizvod koji nije toliko nov, ali koji se lepo uklopio, prvo zato što je Sephora proizvod, a potom zato što se dobro slaže sa ovim lakovima i temom ukrašavanja noktiju. I Jelena danas ukrašava nokte Sephora lakovima pa ne zaboravite da vidite šta je ona spremila za danas.

You have seen the polishes and now I'll show you the star studs and how I combined the polishes from Sephora Makeup Academy Nails set. I shall also show you a product that isn't that new, but it is a Sephora product and it goes well with these polishes and today's nail art theme. Jelena is also doing Sephora nail art so make sure to check what she has in store for us today.

Morgan Taylor Rare as Rubies

Danas predstavljam lepotu zvanu Rare as Rubies. Ovo je jedan od prvih Morgan Taylor lakova koji mi je privukao pažnju kada sam pregledala slike lakova ove firme. Morgan Taylor lakovi ne sadrže formalin, dibutilftalat i toluen i ne testiraju se na životinjama. Bočice su od 15 ml.

Sephora Makeup Academy Nails

Danas vam Jelena i ja zajedničkim snagama, a Coksinim posredstvom, predstavljamo Sephora Makeup Academy set za nokte - novogodišnji dodatak Sephora ponudi. U ovom setu se nalazi deset lakova, nadlak, srebrne nitne u obliku zvezdica i knjižica sa predlozima kako da napravite 12 različitih manikira, od veoma jednostavnih do mramoriranja, uz pomoć sastojaka koji se nalaze u setu.

I will show you four polishes in this article and in several days I will show you a couple of ways you can use them to decorate your nails.

Zoya Ki

Ove sezone su duohromi veoma popularni. Ovom prilikom vam ne predstavljam neki od novih lakova već jednog uslovno rečeno oldajmera. Zoya Ki (ZP283) pripada Suede kolekciji, za koju sam našla samo jedan podatak o tome kada se pojavila u prodaji - leta 2004. 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.

Duochromes seem to be very popular this season. This time I will show you not one of the new shades, but what can be considered an old-timer. Zoya Ki (ZP283) is one of six polishes from Suede collection, that appeared on the market in summer 2004. Zoya polishes don't contain toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and animal products and are not tested on animals.

Aura Professional jesenje boje II

Danas vam predstavljam preostalih pet jesenjih boja iz dodatka Aura Professional liniji lakova. Prvih pet možete videti ovde. I za ove nijanse važi da su kreme visokog sjaja i prosečne brzine sušenja. Imaju 6 ml, uzanu pljosnatu četkicu poput one iz Nail Beauty linije i koštaju 225 dinara.

Today I'm going to show you the other five autumn colours from Aura Professional line of polish. You can see the first five here. These shades are glossy cremes with average drying time too. They come in 6 ml bottles with thin flat brush. They retail for about 2 €.

Morgan Taylor: Royal Treatment, Stick With It, Need For Speed

Spomenula sam u mesečnom pregledu da ću imati zadovoljstvo da vam na blogu predstavim neke Morgan Taylor proizvode. Morgan Taylor je kompanija koja proizvodi profesionalne, salonske lakove za nokte, a u ponudi imaju i dve baze i tri nadlaka. U ponudi postoji 100 osnovnih boja, od klasičnih do zbilja jedinstvenih, a izbacili su i dve zimske kolekcije od po 6 boja. Od dve baze jedna je negujuća, za učvršćivanje, a druga je obična, za produžavanje trajanja laka. Nadlakovi su jedan brzosušeći, jedan za trajnost boje i jedan matirajući. Morgan Taylor lakovi ne sadrže formalin, dibutilftalat i toluen i ne testiraju se na životinjama. Bočice su od 15 ml. Za sada se proizvodi ove firme mogu naći samo kod uvoznika GP Contour u Novom Sadu i Beogradu po ceni od 864 dinara, a učvršćujuća baza košta 1110 dinara. O novinama se možete informisati na Morgan Taylor Srbija stranici.

I have mentioned in my monthly overview that I'll have the pleasure to review some of the Morgan Taylor products. Morgan Taylor is a manufacturer of professional, salon nail polish and they also have two base and three top coats. Their core range polishes come in 100 shades, from classic ones to really unique ones, and there are also two winter collections of 6 polishes each. Out of two base coats, one is fortifying, treatment base and the other one is a regular base coat, designet to increse wear of polish. Top coats are a quick dry one, one for durability and one to mattify. Morgan Taylor polishes are big 3-free and cruelty free. They come in 15 ml bottles.

MoYou Nails 15

Spremate li se za praznike? Ja polako stvaram sebi prazničnu atmosferu, a jedan od načina na koji to radim je zimsko dekorisanje noktiju. Ovog puta uz pomoć MoYou Nails pločice N15. Ovo je prava božićna pločica, sa sedam zimskih motiva: vreća sa poklonima, Deda Mrazova kapica, poklon, irvas, jelka, pahulje, Sneško. Već sam se navikla da se slike sa MoYou Nails pločica divno prenose i ni ovog puta nije bilo drugačije. Sve su slike veoma dobro urezane, čak nisam morala da razmišljam o smeru grebanja i možete videti da je rezultat prilično dobar. Opet sam koristila samo MoYou Nails pečat i grebač jer su mi se oni za ove pločice pokazali kao savršeni. Za pečatiranje sam koristila redom od palca ka malom prstu: Essence Fateful Desire preko Don Juan LK101, Kiko Silver preko Essie Aruba Blue, China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald i Essence Fateful Desire preko Color Club Golden Girl, Kiko Silver preko Essie Aruba Blue i crni lak za pečatiranje preko Don Juan LK101.

Are you preparing for winter holidays? I am slowly getting in festive mood and one of the ways to do that is by decorating nails with wintry designs. This time I am using MoYou Nails N15 stamping plate. This is a real Christmasy image plate, with seven holiday images: Santa's cap, bag with presents, gift box, reindeer, Christmas tree and Snowman. I am used to images from MoYou Nails stamping plates transferring wonderfully and this time was no exception. All designs are very well etched, I didn't even have to think about the scraping direction and you can see the result is pretty neat. Once again I used MoYou Nails stamper and scraper because they turned out to be the best choice for these plates. I have used from thumb to pinkie: Essence Fateful Desire over Don Juan LK101, Kiko Silver over Essie Aruba Blue, China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald i Essence Fateful Desire over Color Club Golden Girl, Kiko Silver over Essie Aruba Blue and black stamping polish over Don Juan LK101.

Novembar

Znam da mi na osnovu ove slike nećete verovati da sam bila dobra i nisam kupila mnogo lakova i proizvoda za nokte. Zaista nisam. Nije ni da nisam kupovala, ali među ovomesečnim novitetima vladaju proizvodi koje sam dobila na recenziju, od kojih ste neke već videli na blogu, i pokloni iz inostranstva. Pre nego što pređem na pregled noviteta volela bih da čujem šta mislite o promenama u izgledu bloga. Da li vam je sada lakše za čitanje? Da li ste primetili ikonice za vezu sa drugim društvenim mrežama? Pozivam vas da me pratite i kontaktirajte preko Facebooka, Bloglovin'a, Instagrama, Twittera i Google +. Svi predlozi, mišljenja, kritike, pohvale i pitanja su dobrodošli.

I know that you won't believe me if I tell you I didn't buy much polish and other nails related stuff this month. I really didn't. I did buy some, but in November I received so many products for review, some of which you have already seen on the blog, and I got some nice stuff from abroad. But before I glance over the new stuff, I'd like to hear what you think of the changes in the blog appearance. Is it easier to read now? Have you noticed social media buttons? I invite you to keep in touch with me through Facebook, Bloglovin', Instagram, Twitter and Google +. All suggestions, critique, opinions, praise and questions are welcome.

Matching Manicures - snežni manikir

Pošto već nekoliko dana pada sneg odlučile samo da ove nedelje za usklađeni manikir nosimo pahuljice i na noktima. Moje pahuljice su sa MoYou Nails pločice 204. Koristila sam Kiko Silver za pečatiranje i China Glaze Strap on your moonboots za bazu.

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.

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.

Trind Cuticle Balsam

Znate da imam probleme sa zanokticama i da sam stalno u potrazi za dobrim sredstvima za njihovu negu. Zato na sajmu nisam odolela Trind balzamu za zanoktice.

Svi Trind tretmani su u bočicama od 9 ml. Balzam za zanoktice u Pharmacity apotekama košta 1260 dinara.

This balsam is part of Perfect System, but it is also sold individually and as part of Natural Beautiful set and Perfect Cuticle & Nail set. Trind cosmetics isn't tested on animals. 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.
