Essie Cashmere Bathrobe


Lak kome mi je bilo teško da odolim je Cashmere Bathrobe iz prošlogodišnje jesenje kolekcije Essie lakova. Ova kolekcija je pre nekog vremena bila na sniženju u DMu, a možda se i dalje može naći po povoljnijoj ceni. Poput drugih drogerijskih Essie lakova i ovaj ima 13,5 ml i široku četkicu. Essie lakovima je pre nekog vremena povećana cena na 949 dinara, a jesenje i zimska kolekcija su 629 dinara.


Cashmere Bathrobe, from last autumn Essie collection, is a polish I found difficult to resist. Especially since it was on sale recently. Like other drugstore Essie polishes, this one has 13.5 ml and a wide flat brush.

Nfu.Oh 46


Letos sam u momentu racionalnosti odlučila da ne kupim Layla Ceramic Effect 53 Killing Red, ali sam po povratku iz Italije zažalila zbog te odluke i iskoristila priliku da uz zelene Nfu.Oh ljuspice naručim i crvene ljuspice. Nisu iste kao Layla, ali su lepe.


Last summer I had a moment of rational thought so I decided not to buy Layla Ceramic Effect 53 Killing Red, but after I had returned from Italy I had regretted that decision. So I took the opportunity to order red flakies along with green Nfu.Oh flakies. These aren't the same as Layla, but they are just as pretty.

Ulta3 Twilight Fever


Prođe više od cele godine otkad sam dobila lakove u Chop Suey Nails nagradnoj igri. Fantasy Fire sam nosila više puta (i kupila nekoliko dopuna), Cult Nails Wicked Fast mi je trenutno omiljeni brzosušeći nadlak, a ovaj lak nikako da dođe na red za nošenje.
Ulta3 je australijska firma i izgleda da njihovi proizvodi nisu dostupni van Australije. Njihovi lakovi imaju 13,5 ml i čini mi se da su barem 3-free.


It's been over a year since I got my nail polish prize from Chop Suey Nails giveaway. I have worn Fantasy Fire several times (and bought a couple of backups), Cult Nails Wicked Fast has been my go to quick drying top coat for a while now and it never seemed to be the right time for this polish. Ulta3 is an Australian brand and it seems they aren't available outside Australia. Their polishes come in 13.5 ml and it looks as if they are at least 3-free.

MoYou Nails 64

Image plate 64
http://moyounails.com/shop/image-plate-64/

Danas vam predstavljam pločicu zbog koje sam obratila pažnju na kompaniju MoYou Nails. Ovo je jedna od nekoliko njihovih tematski savršeno usklađenih pločica. Sadrži sedam slika zmajeva. Četiri su više evropska i imaju krila, a tri su više zmijolika, azijska. Već sam je koristila u Game Of Thrones manikiru, ali sada koristim priliku da predstavim svih sedam zmajeva na njoj.

Today I present you the stamping plate that actually brought my attention to MoYou Nails company. This is one of their several thematically perfectly coordinated image plates. It has seven images of dragons. Four are winged, more European-looking and three are more serpent-like, more Asian. I have already used this stamping plate for Game of Thrones manicure, but I'm taking this opportunity to show you all seven dragons.

OPI Warm & Fozzie


Jesenas sam na Dodiru Pariza napokon poklekla pred Warm & Fozzie koji se već dugo nalazio u kurpici sa lakovima na rasprodaji. Onda dugo nisam mogla da smislim kako da ga upotrebim, kada da ga nosim, jer u pitanju je zaista veoma svečana nijansa, a ja retko idem na mesta gde bi takav lak bio prikladan. Mogli ste da ga vidite u manikiru sa reptilskom šarom. Bez obzira na to što je Warm & Fozzie bio sezonski lak koji je odavno povučen iz prodaje još uvek ga možete naći i u apotekama i u korpici na sajmovima, a verovatno i u Nail Lineu.


Last autumn I finally gave in and got Warm & Fozzie, a polish I've been seeing for quite some time in the discount bin. Then I couldn't think of how and when to wear it because this is a really fancy shade and I rarely go to places this sort of polish would be appropriate. You could see it on my blog in reptile skin manicure.

Golden Rose Rich Color 45


Ne znam zašto nisam ranije probala ovaj lak, a bio je jedan od tri jedina Rich Color laka koja su mi privukla pažnju kada je prošle godine u Kristabell stigla nova kolekcija. Zapravo sada je tačno godinu dana otkad sam kupila ovaj lak. Golden Rose Rich Color lakovi imaju 10,5 ml i široku, pljosnatu, zaobljenu četkicu. Koštaju 120 dinara.


I don't know why I haven't tried this polish earlier when it was one of the only three Rich Color polishes that caught my eye when summer shades had first arrived to Kristabell. It is actually a year now since I bought it. These polishes come in 10.5 ml bottles and have wide, flat, rounded brush.

NYX Girls Dorothy


Kako izgleda lakoholičarkina prva poseta novom mestu? U mom slučaju je podrazumevala da pravo sa Schiphola bez razgledanja hvatam voz za Utreht, koji je prelep grad, a zatim da prođem kroz najveći tržni centar u Nizozemskoj, Hoog Catharijne, da bih uopšte izašla iz stanice. U tržnom centru ima svačega, ali mene butici, bioskop i hrana ne zanimaju. Pažnju me privlači Douglas parfimerija. Posle manje od 10 minuta u Utrehtu kupila sam lak - Dorothy iz NYX Girls linije. U trenutku objavljivanja ovog posta ponovo sam na putu i ne sumnjam da ću imati još koju sličnu situaciju.


How does a polishaholic's first visit to a new place look like? In my case it meant catching a train to Utrecht straight from Schiphol without having any time to browse around and once in Utrecht, which is an adorable city, I had to pass through the largest shopping mall in the Netherlands, Hoog Catharijne, in order to exit train station in the first place. There is so much going on at the mall, but I don't care about the boutiques, cinema or food. Douglas perfume store draws my attention. After less than 10 minutes in Utrecht I had bought a nail polish - NYX Girls Dorothy.

p2 Glamorous Finish 030 Let's Dance


Let's Dance je još jedan od p2 lakova koje mi je drugar doneo iz Nemačke. I ovaj je lak bio po njegovom izboru. Glamorous Finish je linija koju je činilo pet topera. Ovo su veganski proizvodi koji imaju 11 ml, a koštaju manje od 2 €. Mislim da kolekcija nije više dostupna.


Let's Dance is another p2 polish a friend of mine brought me from Germany. Like others, this polish was his choice. Glamorous Finish was a line that consisted of five top coats. These are vegan products that come in 11 ml bottles and retail for less than 2 €. I don't think this collection is available any more.

Lažno mramoriranje

N.NAIL Water Decals Nail Art- WDBLE879

Jeste li probali nekada ebru/mramoriranje lakovima? Ja nisam. Plašim se nereda i da mi se lakovi neće razliti u vodi kako valja. Zato su mi se svideli ovi vodeni dekali jer stvaraju iluziju da je manikir rađen tehnikom mramoriranja, a bez nerviranja i nereda. Na jednom tabaku su četiri od po pet sličica različite veličine i oblika. Zamerka koju imam je nedostatak ikakvog uputstva za upotrebu. Veoma sam zahvalna AnyRainbow koja je napravila uputstvo u slikama i time mi uštedela dosta vremena.

Have you ever tried ebru with polishes/water marble technique? I haven't. I always worry polish wouldn't spread in water or that the mess will be too big. That is why I liked these water decals since they creat the illusion of water marbled manicure without mess and worry. One sheet holds four rows five water decals of different shape and size. My objection is that there are no instructions. I'm grateful for AnyRainbow's photo tutorial that saved me time.

OPI Don't Talk Bach To Me


OPI Don't Talk Bach To Me iz jesenje kolekcije inspirisane Nemačkom bio je moj ulov iz korpice na Primax štandu na sajmu Svet lepote i drugi "Nemac" u mojoj maloj OPI kolekciji. Ne čudi me što se našla u korpici (svi lakovi u korpici su po 500 dinara) jer boja je veoma neobična i nije za svakoga, ali je zato veoma dobar ulov za nekoga ko voli malo čudnije boje.


OPI Don't Talk Bach To Me from 2012. autumn collection inspired by Germany was my catch from discount bin at the latest cosmetics fair and the second polish from this collection in my stash. I understand why this polish was in that bin because the colour is very unusual and not for everybody, but is a great catch for someone who loves to wear odd shades.

Layla Hologram Effects 15 Misty Blush


Misty Blush sam odavno probala i slikala, a kako sam u jednom momentu zaređala holo lakove na blogu čekala sam da prođe malo vremena da ga predstavim. Konačno je stigao na red. Layla Hologram Effect lakovi sadrže 10 ml i koštaju 11,9 €. Layla lakovi se mogu naručiti sa njihovog sajta, a i neke druge online prodavnice drže Layla proizvode. Ukoliko putujete u Milano, svesrdno preporučujem da posetite njihovu prodavnicu Layla Land, koja se nalazi veoma blizu ključnih znamenitosti, jer tamo imaju tester za svaki lak, a možete i na licu mesta da dobijete profesionalni manikir.


I have worn and photographed Misty Blush awhile ago, but I wanted to wait with the review because at one point I did several posts on holo polishes in a short time. Now its time has finally come. Layla Hologram Effect polishe come in 10 ml bottles and cost 11.9 €. Layla polishes can be ordered from their website and some e-tailers carry them too. I wholeheartedly recommend you to visit their store Layla Land in Milan if you happen to travel there. It is situated quite near the key monuments, they have testers for all polishes and you can get a professional manicure on the spot.

MoYou Nails 75


Još jedna poslastica u ponudi MoYou Nails pločica je ona pod brojem 75. Ona predstavlja veoma zanimljiv sklop heraldičkih motiva i vintage/floralnih dezena. Heraldičke slike sam odmah mogla zamisliti u A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones manikiru i dve sam upravo tako i upotrebila. Jedan od preostala tri dezena sam vam pokazala u starinskom usklađenom manikiru. Sada vam predstavljam sve motive u još nekoliko manikira.

crni lak za pečatiranje preko Aura Hot & Chili

Another treat from MoYou Nails image plates range is the one under number 75. This plate represents an interesting combination of heraldic motifs and vintage/floral designs. I could immediately see heraldic images being used for A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones manicure and I have used two of them that way. I have also shown you another design in vintage matching manicure. Now I present to you the entire plate in several more manis.

Trind Perfect Cuticle & Nail set


Znate već da sam veliki poštovalac Trind sredstava za negu noktiju. Njihovi proizvodi su mi veoma pomogli davno davno kada sam baš mučila muku sa noktima, a i kasnije u rešavanju manjih i većih problema. Kada mi je telo izašlo iz "neću" faze, a sredstva za zanoktice koja sam u međuvremenu koristila nisu počela da daju rezultate odlučila sam da se vratim Trind balzamu za zanoktice, ali i da isprobam balzam za nokte. Trind Perfect Cuticle & Nail set mi je bio dobar izbor jer se u pakovanju nalazi i Nail Repair - sredstvo za jačanje noktiju koje mi je u gimnazijskim danima mnogo pomoglo. Odmah moram da kažem da meni nokti nisu trenutno ni tanki ni slabi ni skloni listanju. Zapravo su čak malo suvi i formalinski tretman je poslednje što im treba trenutno, ali ovo je proračunat rizik koji preduzimam. Zašto Nail Repair? Zato što dugo nisam koristila formalinski tretman i nokti su mi izgubili oblik koji formalinski učvršćivač može da mi obezbedi. Računam da u kombinaciji sa balzamima neću imati veću štetu nego korist. Svaki od ovih proizvoda se može kupiti i zasebno i u različitim setovima. Trind kozmetika se ne testira na životinjama. Svi Trind tretmani su u bočicama od 9 ml. Preporučena maloprodajna cena balzama za zanoktice i nokte je 1260 dinara, a za Nail Repair 150o dinara. Preporučena cena seta je 2700 dinara, ali ga možete naći po više nego povoljnoj ceni od 2200 dinara u Velikoj Apoteci 1, Bulevar Mihajla Pupina 181 i u Velikoj Apoteci 2, Neznanog Junaka 47. Potpun spisak prodajnih mesta možete naći na mojoj stranici Gde kupiti, a sve informacije o proizvodima možete videti na stranici uvoznika.

sastojci/ingredients:
Cuticle Balsam
Nail Balsam
Nail Repair Natural

You know already that I'm a big fan of Trind nail care products. I have used their treatments long ago and they helped me sort out many big and small nail issues. Now that my body is out of "don't want to" phase and cuticle treatments I have been using failed to deliver results I decided to go back to Trind Cuticle Balsam, but I also wanted to try Nail Balsam. Trind Perfect Cuticle & Nail kit was a good choice because it holds those two products and Nail Repair - a nails strengthener I have successfully used in high-school days. I have to mention that my nails aren't thin, week or peeling at the moment. They are actually a bit dry and formalin treatment is maybe the last thing they need, but I'm taking a calculated risk. Why Nail Repair? Because it's been some time since I last used formalin treatment and my nails had lost that shape formalin treatment gives them. I count on balsams to counteract any drying it may cause. Each of these products can be found in both individual packagings and in different nail care sets. Trind cosmetics isn't tested on animals. All Trind treatments come in 9 ml bottles.

Essence Floral Grunge 03 Grunge Me Tender


Ko zna koliko bi ovaj lak čekao da ga isprobam da nismo prošlog petka na Ani za temu imali pastelne lakove. Kupila sam ga kada me je još drmala mint groznica, ali pred sam kraj tako da nisam imala preteranu želju da ga mažem. Onda su mi se naređali drugi lakovi koje sam želela radije da nosim, a ovaj ostade neisproban skoro punih godinu dana. Ovaj lak je iz Floral Grunge trend kolekcije koja odavno više nije dostupna, mada se neke dekoracije još mogu naći na okruglim stalcima u Lilly drogerijama.


Who knows how long this polish would remain untried if the theme for last Friday's mani wasn't pastel polishes. I had bought it while I was still down with the mint fever, but in its last throes so I wasn't very eager to wear it. Then I got so many other polishes I wanted to wear so this one has remained untried for almost a year. This polish was part of long discontinued Floral Grunge trend edition.

Depend 356


Još jedan lak koji je nezasluženo dugo čekao da ga isprobam je ovaj lepi žuti Depend. Depend lakovi su već neko vreme dostupni ne samo u Mauricius parfimerijama već i u određenim DM i Lilly drogerijama. Za ceo spisak objekata u kojima ih možete naći pogledajte moju "gde kupiti" stranicu. Depend lakovi imaju 5 ml i ne sadrže toluen, DBP i formalin.


Another unjustly long untried polish is this pretty yellow from Depend. Depend polishes come in 5 ml bottles and they are big 3-free (don't contain toluene, DBP and formalin).

Game of Thrones


Ako ste fan epske fantastike verovatno ste odavno pročitali sve do sada objavljene delove serijala Pesma leda i vatre i možda pratite i seriju (nećemo zalaziti u to da li su bolje knjige ili serija i zašto). Htela sam da obeležim početak četvrte sezone Igre prestola prikladnim manikirom. Sve slike su sa MoYou Nails pločica #64 i #75. Na palcu sam pokušala da dočaram grb kuće Blekfajer koristeći Aura Hot & Chili i crni pečatni lak. Nije troglavi zmaj, ali od svih slika zmajeva koje imam najpribližniji je. Na kažiprstu sam htela da pokažem verziju grba kuće Erin. Koristila sam Essence That's What I Mint i Essence beli pečatni lak. Na srednjem prstu se jedva vidi uzdignuti lav kuće Lanister. Možete li mi preporučiti neki dobar zlatni lak za pečatiranje? China Glaze GR8 nije baš dobar kao pečatni lak. Baza je Aura Hot & Chili. Na domalom prstu sam uradila grb Targarjena. Koristila sam Don Juan OC229 i Aura Hot & Chili. Za mali prst sam ostavila medveda kuće Mormont. Lakovi koje sam koristila su Trind Emerald Swirl i crni pečatni lak. Na kraju sam sve matirala Miss Sporty Check Matte nadlakom.


If you're a fan of epic fantasy genre I suppose you have read all so far published books of A Song of Ice and Fire saga long ago and maybe you also watch the series (we won't discuss which one is better or why). I wanted to mark the beginning of teh fourth season of Game of Thrones with a suitable manicure. All images I have used are from MoYou Nails image plates #64 and #75. I have tried to depict house Blackfyre sigil on my thumb. I have used Aura Hot & Chili and black stamping polish. The dragon is not three-headed, but it is the closest one of all I have. I wanted to show Arryn sigil on my index finger. I have used Essence That's What I Mint and Essence white stampy polish. My middle finger barely shows rampant lion of house Lannister. Could you recommend a good gold stamping polish? China Glaze GR8 is not a good choice for this purpose. Targaryen sigil is on my index finger. I have used Don Juan OC229 and Aura Hot & Chili. I have left Mormont bear for my pinkie. The polishes I used are Trind Emerald Swirl and black stamping polish. I have used Miss Sporty Check Matte to mattify the entire look.

Matching Manicures - cveće


Nisam ljubitelj suvog cveća sem u slikama od suvog cveća. Zato nisam do sada isprobala ove cvetne dekoracije za nokte koje sam dobila od moje drage Mine (usput, u aprilskoj Gloriji In možete pročitati intervju sa njom). Ove nedelje tema za usklađeni manikir je cveće i odlučila sam da umesto da ga pečatiram ili pokušam da ga nacrtam zapravo upotrebim pravo cveće. Ono nije praktično za manikir na prirodnim noktima te ga sem za ovakve prilike verovatno neću uopšte koristiti. Za manikir sam koristila Flormar True Color 027 i dve vrste ciklama suvog cveća iz seta koji sadrži cvetove ofarbane u različite boje. Ove setove možete kupiti kod Kineza i po radnjama koje drže opremu za nadogradnju noktiju.

I'm not a fan of dried flowers except in dry flowers paintings. That is why I haven't tried these decorations I got from my dear friend Mina until now. This week's Matching Manicures theme is flowers so I decided not to stamp flowers or try to paint them, but use real flowers instead. These flowers aren't wearable, not on natural nails so I probably won't use it again except for some similar occasion to this one. I have used Flormar True Color 027 as base and two sorts of magenta dry flowers from a set of brightly coloured flowers for nails.

p2 Volume Gloss 030 Sweet Darling


Sweet Darling je jedan od pet p2 lakova koje sam dobila od ortaka koji je bio voljan da mi sa svog puta u Nemačku donese nešto za kolekciju. Sve lakove je birao sam i uglavnom je pogađao. Ovaj lak mi je bio iznenađenje jer baš ne ide uz mene, ali mi je svakako bilo zanimljivo da probam nešto novo i drugačije.


Sweet Darling is one of five p2 polishes a friend who was willing to bring me something for my collection from his trip to Germany had brought me. He had picked the polishes himself and they were mostly hits. This one was a surprise because it doesn't really go with me, but it is always interesting to try something new and different.

OPI I Brake For Manicures


I Brake For Manicures je jedan od lakova koje sam nabavila od drage lakoholičarke Jipijej i jedan od lakova koji je najduže čekao da ga isprobam. Krajnje neopravdano. Mogle ste da ga vidite u starinskom usklađenom manikiru, a verujem da ćete ga viđati i u drugim izdanjima ovde na blogu.


I Brake For Manicures is one of polishes I had bought from fellow polishaholic Jipijej and one of polishes that had waited teh longest to be worn. Quite unjustly so. You could have seen it in my Vintage Matching Manicure and I'm certain you'll see more of it here on blog.

Mart


Ovog meseca sam posvetila podjednaku pažnju i nezi ruku i noktiju i njihovom oblikovanju i ulepšavanju. Titania staklene turpije su uz Credo turpije najhvaljenije na Ana.rs. Naravno da sam morala da uzmem jednu da probam (Mauricius, 290 din). Pre Sveta lepote sam uzela novu bočicu Eveline 8 u 1, ali ona će pričekati da završim sa Nail Repair prvo. OPI Avojuice Cran & Berry sam uzela za tašnu jer sam Hand Repair potrošila (Primax apoteka, 30 ml 280 din). Potom sam na Metropoliten danu otvorenih vrata za blogere dobila između ostalog i uzorak Weleda Skin Food kreme, koja je namenjena za intenzivniju negu. Možda joj sada nije vreme, ali predstaviću vam je što pre. Kako sam tokom marta svakodnevno skidala lak moj omiljeni aceton je izgleda počeo da mi suviše isušuje zanoktice pa sam odlučila da probam neki novi skidač. Izbor je pao na Afrodita Chamomila Sensitive uljni odstranjivač laka za nokte (DM drogerije, 125 ml 159 din na sniženju). Poslednje što sam uzela je jedan od novih Essence lakova (napokon su stigli) iz Effect linije (Lilly drogerije, 10 ml 269 din).

I have split my attention evenly between hand and nail care and nail beautification. Credo and Titania glass files are the most praised ones on Ana.rs. Of course I had to get one to try. I had bought another bottle of Eveline 8 in 1 before I went to The World of Beauty fair. Now it will have to wait until I have used up Nail Repair. I bought a small bottle of OPI Avojuice Cran & Berry to have in my purse since I've used up Hand Repair. Metropoliten held its first Open door day for bloggers. I got a sample of Weleda Skin Food cream among other lovely things. This is a heavy cream and it may not be the perfect time for it, but I'll do my best to try and review it as soon as possible. Daily nail polish removal has left a mark on my cuticles so I decided to replace my favourite remover for a while. I picked Afrodita Chamomila Sensitive oil nail polish remover. The last thing I had picked is one of new Essence Effect nail polishes.
