China Glaze Meet Me Under The Stars


Pre nego što pređem na poslednje predstavljanje laka za 2014. godinu, htela bih da vam se zahvalim na druženju ove godine i da nam svima poželim lepšu, bolju i naklonjeniju novu godinu.
Spomenula sam u jučerašnjem članku neočekivani paketić koji mi je stigao iz Alexandar Cosmeticsa. U njemu se između ostalog našao i par lakova iz ovogodišnje praznične China Glaze kolekcije, a jedan od njih mi se toliko dopao da njime završavam ovu godinu. China Glaze lakovi sadrže 14 ml i mogu se kupiti u Alexandar Cosmeticsu i kod njihovih distributera. Koštaju 445 dinara.


Before I move onto the final polish review for 2014. I'd like to thank you all for being with me this year and to wish us all much nicer, better and more prosperous new year.
I have mentioned in yesterday's article the unexpected package I have received from Alexandar Cosmetics. It contained, among other things, two polishes from this year's China Glaze holiday collection. I loved one of them so much that it is the polish that I'm ending this year with.

Decembar


Kraj godine se prišunjao, a po običaju su ga začinila sezonska i praznična sniženja. Pre svega je tu bilo celomesečno sniženje od 40% na Morgan Taylor lakove. Skratila sam listu želja za četiri. I Jessica i Cuccio programi su bili na sniženju, mada u Beogradu nema Cuccio lakova. Njih možete naći samo u Novom Sadu. Uzela sam nekoliko Jessica lakova i Cuccio buter za negu zanoktica. U poslednjoj dopuni China Glaze asortimana se konačno našao i Ghoulish Glow te sam morala da ga uzmem. Neočekivano sam dobila i rani novogodišnji poklon od Alexandar Cosmetics, u kome su se našla i dva China Glaze laka iz Twinkle kolekcije, kao i IBD Air Dry nadlak. Trind je u nekoliko navrata tokom meseca imao promocije po apotekama te sam jednu od njih iskoristila da uzmem novu bočicu balzama za zanoktice. Osim popusta od 20% na promicijama se uz kupovinu dobija i mini Hand Repair. Trind lak je stigao za recenziju i potrudiću se da vam ga što pre pokažem jer je boja kao stvorena za ovo vreme. Među novitetima su se našli i Zoya Oswin, zeleni termo lak iz Essence Hello Autumn kolekcije i Aura Bloody Mary, kao i davno naručeni pečat sa Born Pretty Store. U toku današnjeg dana mi je stigao još jedan neočekivani paketić, ovog puta trio Zoya lakova po izboru Ultra Sun tima.

The end of the year sneaked upon us. I did go a bit crazy when it came to shopping for nail products. I have shortened my Morgan Taylor wish list by four. I got three Jessica polishes as well as one Cuccio cuticle butter. We have finally gotten China Glaze Ghoulish Glow so I had to have it. I have also gotten an unexpected New Year's gift from China Glaze importer, which contained two China Glaze glitters from Twinkle collection and IBD Air Dry top coat. Trind had special offers during December and gave mini Hand Repair with every purchase. I had to repurchase my favourite Cuticle Balsam. Trind polish I got for review so I'll do my best to show it to you because the shade is perfect for season. Among the new arrivals are also Zoya Oswin, green thermal polish from Essence Hello Autumn TE, Aura Bloody Mary and BPS stamper I have ordered long time ago. Today I have also received another unexpected gift - three Zoya polishes chosen and sent by Ultra Sun team.

Kiko 226 Rouge Noir


Na red je stigao još jedan skoro crn lak. Rouge Noir je jedan od najpoznatijih Chanel lakova, a italijanski brend Kiko je napravio svoju verziju. Sudeći po slikama i poređenjima koje sam videla ovi lakovi nisu isti, ali jesu imenjaci i iz iste su porodice boja.


It is time for another nearly black polish. Rouge Noir is one of the most famous Chanel polishes and Italian brand Kiko has its own version. Looking at comparison photos the two aren't dupes, but they are namesakes and belong to the came colour family.

Matching Manicures - Candy Cane


Još uvek smo u prazničnom raspoloženju i ove nedelje usklađeni manikir za temu ima šećerne luše. Iako luše nisu baš tipične za Srbiju čak i naše bombondžije ih prave. Na noktima mogu biti veoma simpatične u šta se možete uveriti ako pogledate sve manikire koje su blogerke napravile ove nedelje.

We're still in holiday mood and we have candy cane as this week's matching manicure theme. Even though candy cane isn't a typical candy for Serbia, local candymakers do make them. They are cute in manicures, which you ca see for yourself if you check out other bloggers' manis.

Favoriti i promašaji godine


Kraj je godine i tada se obično u blogosferi sabiraju utisci i objavljuju razne liste favorita. I srpske kozmetičke blogerke su napravile svoju listu omiljenih proizvoda (možete je videti ovde), ali pošto na toj listi nije bilo mnogo mesta za proizvode o kojima ja pišem želela sam da sa vama podelim svoje ovogodišnje noktofavorite i promašaje.

It is the end of the year and at this time bloggers usually sum up their impressions and write their faves lists. Serbian beauty bloggers have too made their list of favourite cosmetics products (you can see it here), but since there was not enough room there for stuff I write about I wanted to share my nail faves and fails.

CND Stickey i Ridge Out baze


U izveštaju sa 24. dodira Pariza sam spomenula da je Unitech povećao ponudu CND proizvoda koji nisu samo za profesionalnu upotrebu. Između tri baze i nadlaka moju pažnju su privukli čuveni Stickey, lepljiva baza, i Ridge Out, baza za popunjavanje brazdi. Treća baza je za jačanje, a nadlak je za visok sjaj. Sva četiri proizvoda su u bočicama od 10 ml koje izgledaju kao pola bočice SolarOil i koštaju po 684 dinara. Obe baze koje danas predstavljam su 3-free. Možete ih nabaviti u Unitech radnjama ili naručiti preko njihove online radnje.

I Have mentioned in my report from 24th Touch of Paris that now more non-professional CND products are available in Serbia. Of the three base coats and a top coat, Stickey and Ridge Out base coats have caught my attention. The third base coat is strengthening base coat, and top coat is for high gloss. All four products come in 10 ml bottles that look like half of SolarOil bottle. The two base coats I am showing you today are big 3-free.

Butter London Sprog


Spomenula sam u mesečnom pregledu da sam od Marije dobila neke lakove, a Butter London Sprog je jedan od njih. On mi je imenom prvi privukao pažnju. Sprog u britanskom žargonu znači "derle, derište" a izraz sam prvi put čula u The Fast Show u sklopu božićnog specijala Holy Sprog (možete pogledati klip na kraju članka). Butter London lakovi su američke proizvodnje, 3-free i nisu testirani na životinjama. Videla sam da ih ima u Nemačkoj u Douglas parfimerijama i tamo koštaju oko 18 €. Ova nijansa je dostupna samo u Ulta radnjama.


I have mentioned in my monthly overview that Maria had sent me some polishes. Butter London Sprog is one of those polishes and the first one to catch my eye with its name. In British slang "sprog" is a term for a child and I have first heard it in The Fast Show Christmas special Holy Sprog (you can see the video at the end of this article). Butter London is an American brand, polishes are 3-free and they aren't tested on animals. In Germany in Douglas drugstores they retail for about 18 €. This shade is exclusive to Ulta.

Morgan Taylor Vixen In a Mask


Jedno vreme sam bila veoma slaba na lakove boje crnog vina, posebno ako imaju šimer i kako sam našla nekoliko takvih koji mi savršeno odgovaraju malo koji drugi mi je posle bio zanimljiv. Onda se pojavio Morgan Taylor Vixen In a Mask iz Midnight Masquerade kolekcije i to je bila ljubav na prvi pogled. Morgan Taylor lakovi ne sadrže formalin, dibutilftalat i toluen i nisu testirani na životinjama. Bočice su od 15 ml. Koštaju 864 dinara, ali tokom decembra su na prazničnom sniženju od čak 40%, tako da ih možete kupiti po ceni od 516 dinara. O novinama u Morgan Taylor ponudi se možete informisati na Morgan Taylor Srbija stranici.


I have had a particular weakness for wine red polishes, especially if they have shimmer, but since I've found several such shades that suit me perfectly I haven't been drawn to other such polishes. Enter the stage Morgan Taylor Vixen In a Mask from Midnight Masquerade collection. Morgan Taylor polishes are big 3-free and cruelty free. They come in 15 ml bottle and have wide flat brush.

Matching Manicures - jelka


Usklađeno društvo je odlučilo da ovih nedelja radimo praznične i sezonske manikire. Iako ne ne marim mnogo za ove praznike uradiću sve predložene manikire koji ne zahtevaju crtanje. Današnja tema je jedna od tih nezahtevnih - novogodišnja jelka.

Matched-up gals have decided to dedicate matching manicures in following weeks to holiday and seasonal themes. Even though I don't care much about holidays I will do all suggested manis as long as they don't require me to try to draw on my nails. Today's theme is one of those simple themes - we're doing Christmas tree.

Popravka zacepljenog nokta


Već neko vreme sam želela da pokažem kako se snalazim kada mi se nokat zacepi, ali na svu sreću to mi se dugo nije desilo ili mi se nokat zacepljivao na mestu gde mi je lakše da ga skratim nego da ga popravljam. No sada mi je nokat na palcu napukao na živom delu, što može biti veoma bolno, ali savršeno za ovu demonstraciju. Sigurno svi znate za metod sa filter papirom (kesicom od čaja) i ovo što ja radim je veoma slično, ali umesto filter papira zahteva trake od fiberglasa. Potreban mi je i superlepak, makaze, štapić za manikir i turpije.

I've wanted to do a post about what I do when I get a split in my nail, but fortunately it's been some time since this has happened to me or it would happen in a place where it is easier for me to take down the length. But recently I got quite a bad split on my thumb nail below free edge, which can be painful, but is perfect for this demo. You probably all know about tea bag method and what I do is very similar, but instead of tea bag I use fiberglass strips. I also need superglue, manicure stick, scissors and nail files.

Sephora Heavy Metal Groupie


Poslednji od starih Sephora lakova koji imam je Heavy Metal Groupie. Uzela sam ga dok sam još bila u potrazi za savršenim teget lakom, ali ime je najviše doprinelo mojoj odluci da ga uzmem. Možda se među novim Sephora lakovima nalazi neki sličan ili čak isti lak, ali ne pod ovim imenom, što mu je u mojim očima neoprostiva mana. :D


The last one of old Sephora polishes I have is Heavy Metal Groupie. I got this one while I was still searching for my perfect dark navy polish, but the name was deciding factor. Maybe there is a similar or same colour among the new Sephora polishes, but it doesn't bear this name, which in my opinion is an unforgivable flaw. :D

Morgan Taylor The Big Reveal


Midnight Masquerade, ovogodišnja zimska kolekcija Morgan Taylor lakova, kolekcija je koju sam željno iščekivala. Najavom kolekcije i promo slikama dominirao je duboko zeleni lak koji sam znala da moram posedovati. Sada kada je moj sa zadovoljstvom vam predstavljam Morgan Taylor The Big Reveal. Morgan Taylor lakovi ne sadrže formalin, dibutilftalat i toluen i nisu testirani na životinjama. Bočice su od 15 ml. Koštaju 864 dinara, ali tokom decembra su na prazničnom sniženju od čak 40%, tako da vam preporučujem da se opskrbite željenim nijansama dok ih još ima. O novinama u Morgan Taylor ponudi se možete informisati na Morgan Taylor Srbija stranici.


Midnight Masquerade, this year's winter collection by Morgan Taylor, is a collection I was eagerly expecting. Its promo pics were dominated by a deep green shimmery polish that I knew I just had to own. Now that it is mine I am very pleased to show you Morgan Taylor The Big Reveal. Morgan Taylor polishes are big 3-free and cruelty free. They come in 15 ml bottle and have wide flat brush.

Dance Legend Solar Eclipse


Kako je ovih dana vreme prilično vedro iskoristila sam priliku da malo nosim lakove koji najlepše izgledaju kada nije sasvim oblačno. Jedan od njih je i Dance Legend Solar Eclipse, iz kolekcije Galaxy. Ja sam svoj naručila sa Llarowe i to sam uspela da nađem veliku bočicu (15 ml) po sniženoj ceni. Redovna cena mu je 13 $, a kada sam ja naručivala bio je 11 $. Mala bočica (6,5 ml) košta 8 $, a na Hypnotic Polish je 8,5 €.


Since we've been having clear(er) skies these past few days I decided to take out my polishes that look their best when skies aren't gloomy. One such polish is Dance Legend Solar Eclipse, from Galaxy collection. I have ordered mine from Llarowe and I was fortunate to get a full size bottle (15 ml) at lower price. Its regular retail price is $13, and I got it for $11. Mini bottle (6 ml) is $8 at Llarowe and €8.5 at Hypnotic Polish.

Matching Manicures - pahulje


U iščekivanju snega smo se dogovorile da nokte ukrasimo pahuljama. Moje su sa MoYou Nails pločice 127. Baza mi je Dance Legend Solar Eclipse, jer deluje prilično praznično, a za pečatiranje sam koristila Manhattan Liquid Metals 101z.

While we are expecting snow we have decided to decorate our nails with snowflakes. Mine are from MoYou Nails 127 stamping plate. Base colour is festive-looking Dance Legend Solar Eclipse, and I have used Manhattan Liquid Metals 101z to stamp.

Trind Soft Cuticle Pen


Stiže zima, a to znači da valja pojačati negu ruku, noktiju i zanoktica. Danas vam predstavljam Trind ulje u olovci, koje već neko vreme koristim za ciljanu negu zanoktica.

Winter is coming, which means we should up our hand, nail and cuticle care. Today I have the pleasure to show you Trind cuticle oil pen that I've been using for some time now on my cuticles.

Kiko 255 Violet Microglitter


Kiko lakovi su veoma polpularni i kod nas i u svetu zbog svog širokog izbora boja i pristupačne cene. Ni ja im nisam odolela kada sam ih našla na rasprodaji prošle godine u Italiji. Kod nas nisu dostupni u direktnoj prodaji, ali mogu se naručiti preko interneta. Redovna cena im je oko 4 €, ali neretko su na sniženju, a neke nijanse se mogu nabaviti i za svega pola evra.


Kiko nail polishes have gained worldwide popularity thanks to their large choice of colours and affordable price. I didn't resist seasonal sale when I was in Italy last year. Kiko has brick-and-mortar stores in several European countries, but if you aren't in one of those countries you can order them online. They retail for around 4 €, but are often on sale and some shades can be purchased for as little as half a Euro.

Essie E! Live From The Red Carpet


Često mi se dešava da odmah pošto probam neki lak odlučim da ga prosledim. Ponekada mi se desi da odmah imam kome da ga dam. Ređe se dešava da se ja oduševim nečijim lakom i da ga dobijem zato što se toj osobi on ne dopada. Ovo je jedan od tih retkih lakova.


It often happens that I decide to pass a polish on as soon as I have tried it. Sometimes I immediately have a person to give it to. It is a rare situation that I like someone else's polish and get it because they don't like it. This is one such rare gem.

p2 Lost in Glitter 020 Get Gorgeous!


Bliže se praznici, vreme je za malo šljokica i sjaja. Današnji lak mi je još prošle godine poslala Luchessa, ali je i dalje dostupan tamo gde može da se nađe p2 kozmetika. Lost in Glitter kolekcija se trenutno sastoji od devet lakova za nokte sa šljokicama. Osnovna postavka se mogla nositi samostalno, a ne znam da li su i nove nijanse takve.


Holidays are nearing, it is time to sport some glitter and shine. I have received the polish I am showing you today last year from Luchessa, but it is still available in countries that have p2 brand. Lost in glitter consists of nine glittery polishes. The initial eight in this line were all full coverage polishes, but I don't know if the new shades are like that as well.

Matching Manicures - cartoon


Nedavno je na novootvorenoj grupi za noktoljube postavljeno pitanje da li volimo nail art. Ja nisam ljubitelj bilo koje vrste nail arta koja zahteva crtanje jer ne umem da nacrtam krug ni oko novčića. No današnji usklađeni manikir podrazumeva i to da moram uzeti tanku četkicu u ruke i crtati. I ovih nekoliko linija je za mene previše :D

A question do wi like nail art was recently asked in new polishalolics group. I am not a fan of any form of nail art that requires drawing or painting because I can't draw a circle around a penny. Today's matching manicure, however, meant that I'd have to pick up a brush and draw. Even these several lines are too overwhelming for me :D

Simples - kombinovanje


Poslednji segment koji smo pokrili tokom Simples manikira je kombinovanje tačkanja i drugih jednostavnih tehnika koje smo prošli. Tako smo tačkali preko saran wrap baze i kombinovali smo tačkanje i skittle manikir i tačkanje i gradijent. Većinu ovih manikira ste imali prilike da vidite u recenziji N.Nails tačkalica, ali ovde se neki detalji bolje vide.

Zoya Payton (baza), Essence Where's The Party (saran); Manhattan Liquid Metals 101z i Essence Where's The Party (tačkice)

The latest segment we have covered in Simples is combining dotting and other simple nail art techniques we have previously done. We have dotted over saran wrap base and we've combined dotting and skittle manicure and dotting and gradient. You have already seen most of these manicures in N.Nails dotting tools set review, but some details can be better seen here.

Essence Best Rock i Best Hip Hop


Retko mi se u poslednje vreme dešava da odmah budem nezadovoljna kupovinom, ali nažalost ovog puta je to slučaj. Nedavno sam kupila dva laka iz Essence Rock Out trend edicije (aktuelna u Liliju) i čim sam ih namazala na rozetnu videla sam da će biti problema. Rock Out kolekciju pored drugih proizvoda čine četiri laka i toper koji svetli u mraku. Lakovi imaju 8 ml i koštaju 289 dinara. Lakovi koje sam odabrala su Best Rock i Best Hip Hop.


It doesn't happen that often to me to be dissatisfied with the purchase right away, but I'm sorry to say that this time that was the case. I have recently bought two polishes from Essence Rock Out trend edition and as soon as I had swatched them on my swatchwheel I could see that there was going to be trouble. Rock Out trend edition contains, among other things, four 8 ml nail polishes and glow in the dark topper. My chosen polishes were Best Rock and Best Hip Hop.

Jedna od takvih prazničnih kolekcija je Home for the Holidays, koju čini šest svečanih Morgan Taylor lakova. Ovaj svetlucavi biser je jedan od njih.

Novembar


Pošto sam u oktobru nabavila toliko novih stvari u novembru sam se malo primirila. Stigle su mi skoro sve narudžbine sa Born Pretty Store - četiri pločice iz njihove inicijalne linije pločica za pečatiranje i još sedam iz dodatne kolekcije. Takođe mi je stiglo i nekoliko pločica za recenziju. Neke savete za kupovinu sa Born Pretty Store možete naći kod Danijele. Posetila me je i dobra vila Maria, koja mi je prosledila nekoliko lakova. Hvala Maria :* Forum Ana.rs je mesto na kome sam sigurna da ću dobiti informaciju koju tražim (posebno kada se u pitanju kozmetika), ali nisam ni sanjala da bi se neko koga ne poznajem lično potrudio da dođem do OPI Beach Sandies seta. Hvala Baylis :* U Sefori je na drastičnom sniženju Nails inc. Bling it on Rebel set te sam ga skinula sa liste želja i ponela kući. Jedini drogerijski noviteti su mi Alverde balzam za nokte i dva Essence laka iz Rock Out kolekcije, koji su za mene pun promašaj.

Since I went a bit polish crazy in October I have kept my purchases in November to minimum. Nearly all of my orders from Born Pretty Store have arrived this month - four of their initial range of stamping plates and seven from the newer collection. I have also received several stamping plates to review. I was visited by a polish fairy godmother Maria, who has passed several polishes on to me. Thank you Maria :* Ana.rs forum is a place where I am certain I'll find information I need (especially when it comes to cosmetics), but never did I think that a person I have never met would make sure that I get my hands on OPI Beach Sandies set. Thank you Baylis :* Nails inc. Bling it on Rebel set was on sales so I have crossed it off my wish list and took it home with me. The last (and the least) is the pair of Essence Rock Out polishes, which were a great disappointment to me.
