After a short break I continue to show you Born Pretty Store stamping plates. Today is BP-19's turn.

MoYou Nails 124

Predstavljanje MoYou Nails pločica za pečatiranje nastavljam jednom od prošlogodišnjih letnjih pločica - onom pod brojem 124.

I continue showing MoYou Nails stamping plates with one from last summer's collection - image plate number 124.

Cuccio Cuticle Conditioning Butter Stick Pomegranate & Fig

Iako sam godinama slušala samo pohvale o Cuccio proizvodima nisam imala iskustva sa njima. Onda je došao 24. dodir Pariza, na kome su nam Aluna i Nardus predstavili Cuccio liniju za negu i ulepšavanje noktiju, što me je dodatno zainteresovalo za brend. Zimus sam se malo razočarala kada sam saznala da se kompletan asortiman za nokte kod nas može naći samo u Aluni u Novom Sadu. U Beogradu imaju samo butere za negu zanoktica, ali su voljni da naruče iz NSa proizvode koji vas zanimaju. Znate koliko volim da isprobavam nove proizvode za negu tako da sam kući otišla sa Cuccio buterom za zanoktice sa mirisom nara i smokve. Drugi buter koji imaju u ponudi je sa mirisom mleka i meda. Cuccio Cuticle Conditioning Butter Stick ima 1,6 grama i košta 1120 dinara. Na zvaničnom sajtu stoji da Cuccio ne testira na životinjama, ali ovaj buter nije veganski proizvod jer sadrži sastojke životinjskog porekla.

I've been hearing praises about Cuccio products for years, but I haven't tried any. Then at the 24. touch of Paris Aluna and Nardus presented Cuccio nail care and nail polishes, which got me more interested in this brand. You know how much I love testing nail and cuticle care products so I got myself Cuccio Cuticle Conditioning Butter Stick Pomegranate & Fig. The other one there is is Milk & Honey. Cuccio Cuticle Conditioning Butter Stick comes in 1,6 stylo and retails for about €10. Official website states that Cuccio does not test on animals, but this product contains animal products and is not vegan.

Jessica Notorious

Lepo vreme me je juče navelo da namažem tamni šimer. Čudna li čuda. Ovog puta je izbor pao na Jessica Notorious, koji sam uzela zimus na velikom popustu u Aluni, kada su neki lakovi koštali svega 510 dinara. Jessica lakovi ne sadrže formalin, toluen i dibutil ftalat. Imaju 15 ml i pod redovnim okolnostima koštaju 1150 dinara, mada na kozmetičkim sajmovima budu znatno jeftiniji. Možete ih nabaviti kod uvoznika (Aluna) i u njihovim partnerskim salonima.

Lovely weather we've had yesterday inspired me to paint my nails with dark shimmery polish. This time my choice was Jessica Notorious, one of three Jessica polishes I have bought when importer gave a substantial discount. Jessica Custom Colours come in 15 ml bottles and they are 3-free.

OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid

Kada su se prošle godine pojavile najave za zimsku OPI kolekciju bila sam razočarana. Obično zimske i jesenje kolekcije ponude dosta boja po mom ukusu, ali ovog puta to nije bio slučaj. Jedini lak koji se izdvojio je My Dogsled Is A Hybrid, mada sam se i oko njega lomila jer mi je delovao suviše prigušeno, čak i za moj ukus. No prelomila sam i uzela ga i veoma mi je drago što sam to učinila jer lak je vredan pažnje. OPI lakovi imaju 15 ml i koštaju oko 1200 dinara. Lakovi iz Nordic kolekcije su u Sefori na popustu i koštaju oko 800 dinara.

I was a bit disappointed last year when announcements for winter OPI collection started popping up. Usually winter and fall collections offer many shades that are to my taste, but this time that wasn't the case. The only polish that caught my eye was My Dogsled Is A Hybrid, although I had my doubts about that one as well because it looked too dusty even for my taste. I did get it and I am very glad that I did because it definitely deserves the attention.

Matching Manicures - Negative Space

Posle dvonedeljne pauze opet se priključujem balkanskim blogerkama usklađenim manikirom. Ovonedeljna tema je negative space, odnosno manikir u kome se vidi prirodna boja nokta.

After a two week break I join again Balkan Beauty Bloggers with a new matched manicure. This week's theme is negative space, which is a manicure that shows natural nail.

MoYou Nails 88

Posle jedne novije na red za predstavljanje je došla jedna starija MoYou Nails pločica za pečatiranje.

http://moyounails.com/shop/image-plate-88/

After one newer image plate it is now time to show you one of the older MoYou Nails stamping plate.

China Glaze Ghoulish Glow

Ghoulish Glow je lak sa posebnim efektom kakav sam dugo želela da imam, ali iz godine u godinu nam nije stizao. Mislila sam da će Essence Glow In The Night biti dobra zamena, ali prešla sam se. Prošle godine nas je Alexandar Cosmetics ipak obradovao ovim nadlakom u sklopu Apocalypse of Color kolekcije. Ghoulish Glow je deo svake China Glaze Halloween kolekcije, ima 14 ml i košta 498 dinara.

Ghoulish Glow is a special effect top coat that I have long wanted to have, but year after year it wouldn't arrive to Serbia. I was hoping that Essence Glow In The Night might be a decent substitute, but I was wrong. And finally we have gotten Ghoulish Glow last year when it came with the rest of Apocalypse of Color collection. It is part of every China Glaze Halloween collection, comes in 14 ml bottle and retails for the same price as regular China Glaze polishes.

Morgan Taylor Truth or Dare

Već sam spominjala kako je Morgan Taylor Srbija za februarske praznike dao posebnu ponudu za MT lakove, koju sam iskoristila da skratim listu želja. Jedan od lakova koji sam često stavljala na listu i skidala sa nje je Truth or Dare, lak koji mi se mnogo svideo, ali sam bila ubeđena da imam dovoljno sličnih lakova. Ispostavilo se da mu nemam ništa dovoljno slično. Poput drugih Morgan Taylor lakova ni ovaj ne sadrži formalin, dibutilftalat i toluen i nije testiran na životinjama. Bočice su od 15 ml i koštaju 984 dinara. Možete ih nabaviti kod uvoznika GP Contour u Novom Sadu i Beogradu i u Janković apotekama u Novom Sadu.

I have already mentioned how Morgan Taylor Serbia has had a special offer for February holidays and I have taken that opportunity to shorten my wish list. One of the polishes I have been puting on and taking off my wish list is Truth or Dare - a polish I liked very much, but thought that I had enough similar shades in my stash. It turned out I don't have anything that similar to it. Morgan Taylor polishes are big 3-free and cruelty free. They come in 15 ml bottles and have wide flat brush.

Zoya Hunter

Dugo sam čekala da Zoya Hunter stigne kod nas, a onda sam je neopravdano zanemarila. Ovaj lak spada u klasične Zoya lakove, koji sada koštaju 853 din. Može se nabaviti u Ultra Sunu i njihovim distributivnim centrima. O novitetima i povremenim posebnim ponudama se možete informisati na Zoya Srbija Facebook stranici. 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.

I have waited so long for Zoya Hunter to arrive in Serbian and then I have quite unjustly left it untried for this long. Like other regular Zoya polishes it retails for $9. Zoya polishes come in 15 ml bottles. They don't contain toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and animal products and are not tested on animals.

Predeo oslikan mastilom

Možda ste primetili da za Japanizam, ChibiCon i druge manifestacije koje organizuje Sakurabana volim da i nokte ukrasim na prigodan način. Kako nisam u prilici da nabavim neke autentične japanske dekoracije nadam se da ove kineske sasvim lepo predstavljaju neke zajedničke elemente dalekoistočnjačke umetnosti. Za poslednji ChibiCon sam nosila N.Nail vodene dekale koji prikazuju pejzaž slikan mastilom.

You may have noticed that I like to decorate my nails in appropriate manner for ChibiCon, Japanizam and other events organised by Sakurabana. Since I am unable to come by some authentic Japanese decorations I hope that these Chinese motifs represent some common elements of eastern art. I have worn these N.Nail water decals that represent ink painting for the last ChibiCons.

Born Pretty BP-21

Već sam spomenula kako sam, osim što sam dobila nekoliko Born Pretty pločica za pečatiranje za recenziju, naručila dosta BPS pločica. Sada ću polako početi da ih predstavljam, a počinjem od pločice BP-21.

https://www.bornprettystore.com/mixed-patterns-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-p-17266.html

I have mentioned several times that not only have I received several Born Pretty stamping plates, but I have ordered quite a few of them. I will start reviews with BP-21.

MoYou Nails 118

Danas je na redu jedna od novijih MoYou Nails pločica sa eklektičnim izborom motiva za francuski manikir.

http://moyounails.com/shop/plate-118/

Stamping plate I am about to show you is one of newer MoYou Nails image plates with an eclectic selection of French tip designs.

Poređenje pečata

Sada napokon imam pristojan izbor pečata za solidno poređenje koje se nadam da će vam pomoći da nađete najbolji pečat za svoje potrebe. Svi ovi pečati su sa različitih internet stranica, ali sve te stranice isporučuju za Srbiju, a jedan od njih se može kupiti i kod nas. Direktne linkove možete naći u opisu slike pečata (slobodno upotrebite moje kodove za popust na KKCenterHK i BPS). U Srbiji nebrendiranu opremu za pečatiranje možete kupiti kod Kineza, a Konad u Nail Line-u iz Subotice i Depil Medic Shopu. Sve drugo se može nabaviti samo preko interneta - KKCenterHK, Born Pretty Sore i E-bay drže generične pečate kakve imam i ja, a i mnogi brendovi stavljaju svoje ime na takve pečate i prodaju ih po većoj ceni, a da kvalitet nije nužno bolji. Neki proizvođači nude i pojedinačne jastučiće različite mekoće, što planiram da isprobam u nekom trenutku.

I finally have a decent choice of different stampers to do a solid comparison that I hope will help you find the best stamper for your needs and stamping style. All of my stampers come from online retailers and you can find direct links in photo caption (feel free to use my discount codes if you order from KKCenterHK or BPS). KKCenterHK, Born Pretty Sore and E-bay sellers usually carry generic stampers such as mine, but many brands also put their brand name and a higher price tag on such stampers without improving their quality. Some of them also offer different cushions for stampers, which I intend to give a try at some point.

Flormar 455 Wild Life

Dok se nije pojavio OPI Christmas Gone Plaid, Flormar 455 je bio najpribližniji mom viđenju savršenog zelenog laka. Pripada Nail Enamel liniji Flormar lakova, u bočicama od 11 ml. Jeune Fille mi je javila da novija verzija ima i ime - Wild Life. Preporučujem da ga potražite u DMu, Kristabell i drugim parfimerijama koje ne prodaju Flormar po bezobrazno visokim cenama.

Before OPI Christmas Gone Plaid, Flormar 455 was the nearest thing to my idea of the perfect green polish. It is from Nail Enamel line of Flormar polishes, that come in 11 ml bottles. Jeune Fille has told me that newer version has gotten a name as well as number - Wild Life.

Morgan Taylor All White Now

Pošto Morgan Taylor Srbija do kraja nedelje ima posebnu akciju da uz svaki kupljeni Morgan Taylor lak možete izabrati jedan od 24 MT laka, a ja sam akciju iskoristila, htela bih da vam pokažem jedan od novih lakova upravo sa liste lakova za poklon. Poput drugih Morgan Taylor lakova ni ovaj ne sadrži formalin, dibutilftalat i toluen i nije testiran na životinjama. Bočice su od 15 ml i koštaju 984 dinara. Možete ih nabaviti kod uvoznika GP Contour u Novom Sadu i Beogradu i u Janković apotekama u Novom Sadu.

Morgan Taylor Srbija is having a special offer - with each Morgan Taylor polish you buy you can choose another one among 24 preselected MT polishes. I have bought a couple of them and I'd love to show you one of those that were among the gifts. Morgan Taylor polishes are big 3-free and cruelty free. They come in 15 ml bottles and have wide flat brush.

Depend 387

Neki Depend lakovi su u Mauricius parfimerijama na sniženju od 50% pa me je to jednog petka namamilo da svratim i uzmem par - jedan iz Mirage linije i jedan iz obične redovne ponude. Ovaj iz linije običnih Depend lakova nisam ranije primetila, što me čudi jer je u pitanju lak iz 2013. godine koji se više ne proizvodi, a prilično je jedinstven. Ne znam kako mi je ranije promakao, ali drago mi je da sam ga sada ugledala, a i vama preporučujem da ga potražite. Depend lakovi imaju svega 5 ml, koštaju oko 210 dinara i možete ih naći u Mauricius parfimerijama i pojedinim DM i Lilly drogerijama.

Some shades of Depend polishes have been on 50% discount so one Friday I gave in and got myself a couple - one from Mirage line of polishes and one from regular line. I haven't noticed that one from regular line before, which is unusual as this is a now discontinued shade from 2013. and it is quite unique shade. I don't know how I might have missed it before, but I am glad I did notice it now and I suggest you look for it if possible as it is very unusual shade. Depend polishes come in 5 ml rectangular bottles that are easy to store.

Aura Color Off

Kozmetika Aura je poslednjih meseci punom parom krenula u unapređivanje svog brenda, ponude i dizajna i pojačava svoje prisustvo na domaćem i na inostranom tržištu. Među novitetima u ponudi, a u poslednje vreme ih je bilo mnogo, nalaze se i dva uljana skidača laka za nokte - acetonski i bezacetonski Color Off, koja vam danas predstavljam.

Aura Cosmetics has been trying its hardest to revamp its brand, products range and design and is widening its presence on local and international markets. Among the new products, and there have been quite a few lately, are two oil-based nail polish removers - acetone and non-acetone Color Off, and I have both to show you today.

MoYou Nails 216

Predstavljanje MoYou Nails pločica nastavljam starijom pločicom sa motivima za ceo nokat.

http://moyounails.com/shop/image-plate-216/

I continue reviews of MoYou Nails stamping with one of the older image plates with full nail designs.

Trind razređivač

U članku o razređivačima laka za nokte sam spomenula da se kod nas u ponudi nalazi i Trindov razređivač, ali tek sada sam imala priliku da ga probam. Prodaje se u bočici od 10 ml i košta oko 560 dinara. Spisak prodajnih mesta možete naći u mojoj sekciji Gde kupiti, a o svim novostima i posebnim ponudama se možete informisati na Trind Srbija Facebook stranici. Trenutno je sav Trind asortiman na sniženju od 10% u svim apotekama koje ga drže.

I have mentioned Trind Thinner in my post about nail polish thinners, but I haven't had the chance to try it until now. It comes in 10 ml dropper bottle and retails for about €6.

Jessica Lucy

Nastavljam predstavljanje veselijih lakova jer sam željna sunca, a meni su ovakvi lakovi poput antidepresiva. Danas je na redu jedan od tri Jessica laka koja sam uzela kada je Aluna dala veliko sniženje. Ovaj je koštao 510 dinara, što je manje od pola od redovne cene. Jessica lakovi ne sadrže formalin, toluen i dibutil ftalat. Imaju 15 ml i pod redovnim okolnostima koštaju 1150 dinara, mada na kozmetičkim sajmovima budu znatno jeftiniji. Možete ih nabaviti kod uvoznika (Aluna) i u njihovim partnerskim salonima.

I continue showing you brighter colours because I miss sunshine and to me these are as good as antidepressants. The one I have prepared for today is one of three Jessica polishes I have bought when importer gave a substantial discount. Jessica Custom Colours come in 15 ml bottles and they are 3-free.

Flormar Supershine 41

Proletos i letos sam kolekciju osvežila lakovima koje sam dobila u razmeni za svoje neželjene lakove. Tako se i Flormar Supershine 41 našao u mom vlasništvu. Supershine linija Flormar lakova sada ima novo, niže, pakovanje, a neki su dobili i imena umesto samo broja. Ove lakove možete nabaviti u DMu po ceni od 140 dinara.

I have revamped my collection last spring and summer by swapping some of my unwanted polishes. That is how Flormar Supershine 41 came into my collection. Supershine line of Flormar polishes now has a different, shorter packaging and some of them have even gotten names. Not this one, though.

Januar

Ovog meseca sam se usredsredila na isprobavanje stvari koje već imam (posebno pločica za pečatiranje), a manje na nabavku novih proizvoda, tako da nemam mnogo noviteta, ali ipak su se našle neke nove zanimljive stvari. Prvi su Trind proizvodi - lak ste već videli, a razređivač ću predstaviti uskoro. Stigli su mi i Aura Color Off skidači laka, koje ću vam takođe predstaviti ovih dana. Od Jece sam dobila OPI lak iz Ford Mustang kolekcije, ali za njega ću morati da sačekam lepše vreme za slikanje. Danijela je nedavno objavila klip u kome je predstavila neke stvarčice koje je kupila kod lokalnih Kineza pa sam ja podlegla i kod svojih obližnjih Kineza uzela pakovanje nitni. Mirage i obični Depend lakići su na popustu u Mauricius parfimerijama i koštaju svega 100 dinara. Uzela sam dva. Još uvek čekamo da počne sezonska rasprodaja Essence proizvoda koji se povlače iz proizvodnje, a ova dva laka su već bila snižena u DMu pa sam ih, željna sunca i boja, ponela kući. Poslednji novitet je OPI Let's Get Together set. Avoplex ulje mi je pri kraju pa sam uzela novo, ali uz koje se na poklon dobija OPI staklena turpija.

This month I concentrated mostly on using untrieds in my collection (particularly stamping plates) and less on buying new stuff, so I don't have that many new items, but I did get some interesting stuff. For starters there are Trind products - you have already seen the polish and I shall review the thinner very soon. Other products that will get a review these days are Aura Color Off nail polish removers. Jelena gifted me one OPI Ford Mustang polish, but I will have to wait for better lighting conditions to take photos of that one. Danijela posted a video about some nail decorations she bought at her local Chinese thrift store so I also gave in and went to a nearby store to get some nail studs. Mirage and regular Depend mini polishes are discounted so I got myself two. We are still waiting for Essence seasonal sales, but these two Essence polishes were already on sale so I got them. The last item on the list is OPI Let's Get Together set. I have nearly used up Avoplex oil so I bought a new bottle, but this is the special offer that comes with OPI glass nail file.

Matching Manicures - Tape mani

Ovonedeljna tema usklađenog manikira je manikir napravljen uz pomoć lepljive trake. Ovakvi manikiri su veoma zgodni jer se mogu postići zanimljivi oblici i jasne linije bez mnogo muke. Jedino treba paziti da je osnovni lak suv. Ovog puta sam želela da uradim nešto kompleksnije, ali ne preterano komplikovano i nadam se da vam se rezultat sviđa.

This week the theme for Matching Manicures is tape mani. This sort of manicure is quite convenient because it allows for achieving interesting shapes and crisp lines without much trouble. You only need to make sure the base colour is dry. This time I wanted to try something more complex, but not too complicated and I hope you like the final result.
