Morgan Taylor Totally A-Tealing


Ako ste se pitali zašto već dugo nisam pisala o Morgan Taylor lakovima, to je zato što nam je uvoznik malo posustao sa novitetima, a sve sam se nadala da će stići neke nove kolekcije. No imam još par nepredstavljenih MT lakova i danas sam vam spremila kratku priču o jednom iz stalne postavke. Morgan Taylor lakovi ne sadrži formalin, dibutilftalat i toluen i nisu testirani na životinjama. Bočice su od 15 ml i koštaju 984 dinara. Trebalo bi da možete da ih nabavite kod uvoznika GP Contour u Novom Sadu i Beogradu i u Janković apotekama u Novom Sadu.


If you were wondering why I haven't written about Morgan Taylor polishes for a while now, it was because our importer hasn't been that active and I was hoping some new collections will arrive. However, I do have a couple of unshown MT polishes and today I am presenting you a polish from their core line. Morgan Taylor polishes are big 3-free and cruelty free. They come in 15 ml bottles.

Matching Manicures - Lace


Juče sam već spomenula kako su mi nove MoYou Nails pločice stigle u pravom trenutku. To se i danas pokazuje kao tačno, jer zahvaljujući njima imam nov motiv čipke da upotrebim za ovaj manikir.

I have already mentioned yesterday how new MoYou Nails have reached me at just the right time. That is just as true today, because thanks to them I now have a new lace image to use for this mani.

Movember Mani


Znate da nisam od onih koji se uključuju u razne "širimo svest o..." akcije, ali ovom prilikom bih dala svoj mali doprinos Movember pokretu. Poslednjih meseci dosta razmišljam o životu, smrti, zdravlju... Verujem da je to normalna reakcija na situaciju kada mlada, naoko zdrava, fizički aktivna osoba, koja ne puši, ne pije i ne hrani se nezdravo iznenadno premine. Ne možemo da utičemo na mnoge stvari, ali možemo da vodimo računa o svom zdravlju i zdravlju svojih bližnjih. Novembar se bliži kraju, a time se završava i Movember. Podsetite svoje muškarce da odu na detaljan lekarski pregled jer je važno blagovremeno ustanoviti da li postoji neki zdravstveni problem i u skladu sa time na vreme reagovati. A i vi, drage moje čitateljke, idite na sve svoje preglede.

You know that I am not the one to jump on various "lets spread awareness about..." bandwagons, but this time I would like to give my modest contribution to Movember movement. I've been thinking a lot about life, death and health these past several months. I believe that is quite normal reaction to the situation when a young, seemingly healthy, physically active person, who doesn't smoke, drink or eat unhealthy food suddenly passes away. We can't influence many things, but we can take care of our health and health of our nearest and dearest. November is coming to a close and Movember is also ending with it. Do remind your men to go on a thorough health check, because it is important to find out if there is some problem in time and take proper and timely course of action. And you, my dear readers, should also go on all your medical checks.

Alessandro Hands!Up kreme Jasmine, Pashmina i Hemp Seed


Preletos sam na sajmu kozmetike na Dijaninu preporuku zagledala, isprobavala i njuškala Alessandro kreme za ruke. Sećam se da sam se dvoumila između Amazonia i Jasmine mirisa iz Flower Bar linije i na kraju uzela Jasmin. Nedavno su mi stigle još dve Alessandro Hands!Up kreme - jedna iz Flower Bar, jedna iz Herbal Bar linije i pošto sam ih ovih dana rado testirala sada bih volela da sa vama podelim neka zapažanja o njima. Ove kreme možete nabaviti direktno od uvoznika preko zvanične online prodavnice. Pakovanja su od 75 ml i koštaju 910 dinara, a na sajmu koštaju 700 dinara.

This spring at the cosmetics expo I took Dijana's recommendation to look, smell and try Alessandro hand creams. I remember being torn between Amazonia and Jasmine scents of creams from Flower Bar line and in the end I got Jasmin. Recently I have gotten two more Alessandro Hands!Up creams - one from Flower Bar and another from Herbal Bar lines and since I've been using them these days I'd like to share my thoughts about them with you. All of these creams come in 75 ml tubes and retail for around 9 €.

Aura Twins 06


Pre par godina sam slučajno nabasala na veoma neobičan lak domaće proizvodnje. Aurin dvostrani lak koji je na jednoj strani imao nadlak sa ljuspicama nije mogao da mi promakne te sam ga ponela kući i odmah se bacila u potragu za informacijama o njemu. Nažalost, jedini podatak do kog sam uspela da dođem je da se ova kolekcija lakova u tom momentu nije proizvodila već više od pet godina. Kadašnja je kolekcija, koliko je lakova imala niti kojih su boja oni bili mi je i dalje nepoznanica, kao i zapremina bočica. Volela bih da se Aura potrudi i ponovo napravi neki toper poput ovog jer nam fale takvi proizvodi na tržištu.


A couple of years ago I stumbled upon an unusual nail polish by a local brand. Aura's double-sided nail polish that contained a flakies topper had caught my eye so I had brought it home and I immediately tried to find any information about it. Sadly, the only info I could get is that that collection had been discontinued for over five years at that point. When it was made, how many polishes it consisted of, what colours were they and how much product is there in bottles is still a mystery to me. I wish Aura would try and make a topper such as this one as we are in need for such product on Serbian market.

Sephora The Magic Game


Prethodnih dana ste mogli na srpskim blogovima da čitate o prazničnim novitetima u Sefori. Među njima je bilo malo stvari za nas noktoljube, a draga Šminka je ljubav mi je učinila radost prosledivši mi jedan od tih malobrojnih, ali vrednih, prazničnih setova za nokte. Dozvolite mi da vam predstavim Sephora The Magic Game - praznični komplet od osam Sephora Color Hit lakića (8x5 ml) sa knjižicom sa predlozima za jednostavan nail art. Spakovan u kutiju ukrašenu pahuljicama, ovaj set na poklopcu ima kazaljku koju možete zavrteti kako biste prepustili slučaju da vam odabere lak. Ovaj set bi trebalo da se već nalazi u prodaji, a cena mu je 2662 din.

Last weeks Serbian bloggers have been informing us about holiday arrivals in Sephora. There were only a few items for polishaholics and I was happy to receive one of those from my dear Šminka je ljubav. Allow me to present to you Sephora The Magic Game - holiday set consisting of eight Sephora Color Hit nail polishes (8x5 ml) with booklet containing ideas for simple nail art. Packed in a box with snowflake decorations, this set has a "magic wand" that you can spin and let the fate decide which polish you'd wear. This set should be available in Sephora stores worldwide and it retails for about 25 €.

Matching Manicures - Tribal


Kako iz naslova već vidite, tema ovonedeljnog usklađenog manikira su "plemenski" motivi. Ovaj tip manikira je prilično popularan među stranim blogerkama, koje se uglavnom okreću egzotičnim afričkim ili raznovrsnim indijanskim dezenima. Ja sam odličila da ne moram ići daleko od kuće da bih prikazala takve slike. Ništa manje zanimljivi nisu naši motivi koji krase ćilime, posebno pirotske. Naravno, neke šare su lokalnog porekla i značenja, dok su druge preuzete sa orijentalnih ćilima, a ja sam dozvolila sebi tu slobodu da jedan improvizujem.

As you can see from the title, this week's matching manicure theme is tribal design. This sort of mani is quite popular among foreign bloggers, who mostly turn to exotic African or diverse native Indian patterns. I decided I do not need to go far from home to find such images. Patterns on carpets, especially Pirot carpets, are no less interesting. Some of them have local origin and meaning, some of them were taken from Oriental rugs and I have allowed myself also a bit of artistic freedom.

Hēhē 026


Ovo je poslednja od Hēhē pločica koje za sada imam za predstavljanje, ali je sigurno da nije poslednja Hēhē pločica koju ću isprobati jer mi se i dizajn i kvalitet izrade ove firme sviđaju.

This is the last Hēhē stamping plate I have to show you for now, but it is definitely not the last one I shall try as I like their design and quality.

In Flames


Izgleda da sam u poslednje vreme daleko raspoloženija da radim nešto više od pukog mazanja noktiju. Za protekli Sajam knjiga sam bila zamoljena da se pojavim sa rogovima koje nosim na profilnoj slici, a onda sam pomislila da bih mogla napraviti i manikir kakav bi pristajao jednom vragu poput mene.

It seems that lately I've been in mood to do more than simplest manis. For this year's Books Expo I was asked to show up wearing horns I have in my profile image and I though I might also do a mani that would suit a devil such as myself.

Catrice Mint Me Up


Lak koji vam danas predstavljam je do mene prošle godine došao zahvaljujući Jeleni, kojoj nije odgovarao. Pošto me je tada još uvek držala mint i generalna zelena groznica, rado sam mu pružila novi dom i, kako to često sa mnom biva, potpuno ga zanemarila. Pošto već u tom momentu ovaj lak više nije bio u prodaji nije mi se ni žurilo da ga predstavim, ali mislim da je krajnje vreme da i on dobije svoje mesto na mom blogu.


This polish I am showing you today reached me via Jelena, whom it didn't suit. Since at the time I was still in throes of mint and general green fever, I was happy to give it new home and, as often happens to me, I completely neglected it. I was in no rush to show it because at that point it had already been discontinued, but I think that it is high time to dedicate a blogpost to it.

China Glaze Riveting


Lak koji predstavljam danas je jedan od onih oko kojih sam se dugo premišljala jer mi se boja mnogo svidela, ali sam bila sigurna da će mi stajati loše. To moje vaganje je trajalo skoro tri godine, s tim što sam se zadržala na "ne" kada su cene China Glaze lakova povećane, no kada su određene boje stavljene na sniženje znala sam da ga ipak moram uzeti. China Glaze lakovi imaju 14 ml, ne sadrže "veliku trojku" loših sastojaka i koštaju 489 dinara. Ovaj, uz još dosta drugih boja, do kraja godine možete nabaviti po ceni od 349 dinara u Alexandar Cosmetics prodavnicama i na sajtu, ali nažalost ne i kod distributera po drugim gradovima.


The polish I am showing you today is one of those I that was long thinking of buying because I loved the colour, but I was also certain that it wouldn't suit me. And while I was weighing all the pros and cons, the prices increased and I decided not to buy it, but now that it was on sale I knew I had to get it. China Glaze polishes are big three-free and come in 14 ml bottles.

Matching Manicures - Water Marble


Mramoriranje uz pomoć vode je tehnika sa kojom nisam u dobrim odnosima, ali kako nam je to tema ovog puta, a ja sam imala ideju kako da izvedem manikir, upustila sam se u ovu avanturu.

Water marbling is a technique I am not on good terms with, but since this is the theme this week and I had an idea how to do it, I gave it another go.

MoYou Nails 132


Ne znam za vas, ali ja željno iščekujem nove MoYou Nails pločice. Dok se ne pojave u prodaji taman ću imati priliku da završim predstavljanje starijih, okruglih pločica. Začudo za ovaj članak nisam spremila neku sa slikama za frenč. Ne, ova pločica slavi godišnje doba suprotno ovom u kome se nalazimo mi na severnoj hemisferi.

Image Plate 132
http://moyounails.com/shop/plate-132/

I don't know about you, but I am eagerly awaiting new MoYou Nails stamping plates. Until they are available I will take the chance to finish showing you the older, round image plates. Surprisingly enough, I haven't picked one with French tips for this post. No, this image plate celebrates season that is the opposite of the one us on the northern hemisphere are going through right now.

Alessandro Veggie Tomato & Strawberry Nail Cream


U izveštaju sa sajma ste mogli da pročitate da se sada kod nas mogu nabaviti i Alessandro Veggie kremice za nokte. Ova ograničena kolekcija krema za negu noktiju i zanoktica postoji u tri verzije - paradajz & jagoda, pomorandža & šargarepa i krastavac & dinja. Kremice su spakovane u zgodne limene kutijice od 15 ml i koštaju 550 dinara. Možete ih kupiti direktno od uvoznika preko zvanične internet prodavnice.

You may have noticed in my report from the latest cosmetics expo that Alessandro Veggie nail creams are available in Serbia. This limited edition consists of three versions of nail and cuticle creams - tomato & strawberry, orange & carrot and cucumber & melon. Creams come in practical tin pots that hold 15 ml of product and retail for about €5.

Depend Chameleon 2089 Gold Rush


Polako ali sigurno raščišćavam gomilicu starih neisprobanih ili nepredstavljenih lakova (treba napraviti mesta za nove). Ovaj spada u drugu kategoriju jer isproban je bio, ali ne i predstavljen i do sada ste ga mogli videti samo na mahove u nekim pečatnim manikirima. Kupljen u junu 2014. godine, ovo je poslednji Depend Chameleon koji je došao u moju kolekciju. Lakovi iz ove kolekcije imaju 5 ml i koštaju 289 dinara, a čini mi se da su u DMu bili nedavno na sniženju.


Slowly but steadily I am moving through my pile of untried or not shown polishes (I need to make space for new ones). This polish is from the latter category because it has been tried, but I haven't blogged about it and I have shown you only glimpses of it in some stampicures. Bought in June 2014. this is the last Depend Chameleon polish to come into my collection. Depend Chameleon polishes come in 5 ml bottles and have probably been discontinued or sold out everywhere, but they can still be found in Serbian drugstores.

Zoya Loredana


Kada sam proletos uzela Loredanu, kompletirala sam prvu postavku Zoya Matte Velvet kolekcije, mada sačinjenu od "reizdanja". Nju su činile Dovima, Loredana i Posh, a Veruschka, Savita i Harlow su predstavljale dopunu. Zimus je svih šest ovih lakova nakratko vraćeno u proizvodnju, a iako više nisu u ponudi, kod nas se još uvek mogu nabaviti u Ultra Sun-u po ceni od 950 dinara.


This spring I had bought Zoya Loredana and thus completed the original Matte Velvet collection, albeit reissued one. It consisted of Dovima, Loredana and Posh, with Veruschka, Savita and Harlow added later. Last winter the entire collection was reissued for a short time only, but all six shades are still available in UltraSun.

Matching Manicures - Geometric


Prošli put kada smo radili geometrijski usklađeni manikir okrenula sam se Mondrijanu, a i ovog puta se držim osnovnih boja i geometrijske apstrakcije.

Last time we did geometric matching manicure I went with Mondriaan theme and this time I also kept to geometric abstraction and primary colours.

Hēhē 003


Pre par nedelja ste mogli da vidite predstavljanje prve od tri Hēhē pločice za pečatiranje, a sada je došao red i na drugu.

Electric Flakies


Kada sam predstavljala pločicu MoYou Nails 80 najviše pažnje je privukao mat manikir sa ljuspicama. Meni se sam taj manikir svideo toliko da nisam želela da ga skinem, što je i bio razlog da ga nadogradim francuskim pečatiranjem, a danas dobija i zaseban članak.

When I did the review of MoYou Nails 80 stamping plate, the mani that caught your eyes the most was the matte one with flakies. I loved that mani so much that I didn't want to take it off, which is why I stamped French tips over it, and now it gets a blogpost of its own.

CND Vinylux Grommet


U poslednjem usklađenom manikiru ste mogli da vidite jedan veoma dobro usklađen lak. CND Vinylux Grommet se ne uklapa sa tematskim nitnama samo po svojoj metaličnosti već i imenom, koje označava ringlicu. Vinylux sistem, kao i druge CND proizvode, možete nabaviti u Unitech-u ili preko njihovog sajta. Cena lakova je 988 dinara, a nadlaka 679 dinara. I lakovi i nadlak sadrže 15 ml proizvoda i 3-free su.


I the latest matching manicure you could see a truly well matched polish. CND Vinylux Grommet does not only match the studs we had for theme in terms of colour, but also has an appropriate name. Vinylux polishes and top coat come in 15 ml bottles and they are 3-free.

Oktobarski noviteti


Oktobar je sajamski mesec, što znači da uvek bude dosta noviteta, no bude ih i van sajma. Pre svega sam uzela još jednu bočicu Trind balzama za zanoktice i silno hvaljenu Maybelline CC bazu za nokte. Potom mi je, posle ravno dva meseca, stigla jedna narudžbina sa Born Pretty Store, a ubrzo za njom još jedna. U obe su bile pločice za pečatiranje. Stigle su mi i prve pločice sa LadyQueen sajta. Potom je došao sajam. Kupila sam mini pakovanje OPI Sheer Tints, jedan stari DS lak i novu tubu Avoplex ulja za zanoktice. Dobila sam i set mini Color Paints lakova, koje zajedno sa Sheer Tints jedva čekam da upotrebim. Pre sajma me je obradovao paketić od Alexandar Cosmetics u kome je bio jedan od najnovijih China Glaze lakova, a na sajmu sam videla i ostatak kolekcije i precrtala tri laka sa liste želja. Na CND štandu nisam našla Vinylux lak koji sam tražila, ali sam bila oborena s nogu paketićem koji mi je CND edukatorka Verica spremila. U njemu se našao jedan od novih Vinylux lakova, nadlak, mini pakovanje SolarOil, kao i najlepši detalj - set za pečatiranje koji se zapravo ne nalazi u prodaji. I poslednji, ali ne manje zanimljiv novitet je Alessandro Veggie kremica za zanoktice (primećujete li temu koja se provlači?), koju sam dobila na testiranje posle prilično informativnog razgovora na Alessandro štandu.

October is the month beauty expo is held in so there are always many new products, but there are new arrivals outside of expo as well. Firstly, I have gotten another bottle of Trind Cuticle Balsam and much praised Maybelline CC base coat. Then I got some nail mail - stamping plates ordered from Born Pretty Store two months ago and first stamping plates from LadyQueen website. Then there was cosmetics expo. I have gotten a mini pack of OPI Sheer Tints, an old DS polish and a new tube of Avoplex cuticle oil to go. I've also gotten a set of mini Color Paints, which I can't wait to try. Before the expo I got a package that contained one of the newest China Glaze polishes among other things and on the expo I have seen the rest of that collection and successfully crossed over three polishes from my wish list. I didn't find the Vinylux polish I wanted to buy, but I got an amazing gift from CND educators. It contained one of the newest Vinylux polishes, top coat, mini bottle of SolarOil and the ultimate personal touch - a stamping kit that isn't actually available for sale. And the last, but far from least, is Alessandro Veggie cuticle cream. (Do you notice a theme here?)

Matching Manicures - Studded Nails


Pošto sam uspela da se zeznem i omašim manikir za ovu nedelju, na brzinu sam htela da smislim nešto što zapravo odgovara današnjoj temi.

Since I managed to mess up and do a wrong mani for this week, I wanted to do something fast that actually matches this week's theme.
