Matching Manicures - Water Marble

Ovonedeljna tema je jedna od meni najzeznutijih tehnika - mramoriranje u vodi. Sama izrada mi je zabavna, uključujući i greške, ali čišćenje nije i zato sam ovog puta varala. Čak ni to nisam uradila baš najbolje - nikada od mene neće postati dobar prevarant. :D

This weeks theme is one of the trickiest techniques - water marble. The technique itself is fun, even mistakes, but cleanup is far from it so I decided to cheat this time. And I couldn't even do that properly - I'll never become a good cheat.

MoYou Nails 400

Pošto MoYou Nails "kupi dve pločice, dobijaš još dve" ponuda i dalje traje (do kraja meseca), red je da vam pokažem još jednu njihovu pločicu i to jednu od meni najdražih među četvrtastima.

Since MoYou Nails "buy two, get two" offer on stamping plates is still active (until the end of the month), I think it is only fair to show you another one of their image plates and this is one of my favourites from their square plate line.

Cuccio Cream & Sugar

Dobro došli u Café Cuccio. Želite li mleko i šećer u kafi? Pod normalnim okolnostima, nude lakovi nisu moj đir, ali povremeno se nađe neki koji mi se svidi dovoljno da bih ga posedovala. Ovaj koji danas predstavljam je jedan od njih. Cuccio lakovi imaju 13 ml, koštaju 550 dinara i mogu se nabaviti u salonima koji koriste ovaj brend, a o detaljima se možete raspitati kod uvoznika Silver Line doo.

Welcome to Café Cuccio. Do you take cream and sugar? Normally, nude polishes are not my cup of tea, but from time to time I happen to like some enough that I want to own it. This one I am showing you today is one such polish. Cuccio polishes come in 13 ml bottles and are available at salons and salon supply stores.

Avon Gel Shine Citronized

Nedavno je Avon svojoj ponudi dodao novu liniju lakova - Gel Shine. Ova linija je zamenila dosadašnju liniju Gel Finish. Neke boje iz stare linije se ponavljaju i u novoj, neke su povučene, a neke su potpuno nove. Citronized je jedna od novih boja, a do mene je došla zahvaljujući Maloj Palčici. Poput drugih Avon lakova, i ovi imaju 10 ml. Redovna cena im je 490 dinara, a još par dana se mogu naručiti po ceni od 369 dinara za jedan i 529 dinara za dva.

Recently Avon added another line of nail polish to their offer - Gel Shine. This line is replacing Gel Finish line. Some of the old colours are still available in new formula, some have been retired and there are also some new colours. Citronized is one of the new shades and it has reached me thanks to Mala Palčica. Like other polishes, these come in 10 ml bottles and retail for about €4.

MoYou Nails 403

U poslednje vreme MoYou Nails stalno ima neke akcije, specijalne ponude, a ja sam malo posustala sa predstavljanjem njihovih proizvoda. Pa dok je još u toku akcija da se za dve kupljene pločice dobijaju još dve, hajde da predstavim jednu od njihovih pločica.

MoYou nails has been having various special offers lately and I kinda neglected showcasing their stamping plates. So let's show you one while they are having "buy two, get two" special offer.

Essie Frock'n Roll

Do kraja meseca su Essie lakovi na sniženju od 30% i ovo sniženje sam iskoristila da konačno uzmem jedan lak iz jesenje-zimske mešavine koju je naš uvoznik mislio da nam uvali kao jedinstvenu kolekciju. Ako zvučim ogorčeno zbog takve politike rada, to je zato što i jesam ogorčena. Essie se kao kompanija jesenas i zimus zeznuo i ponudio nekoliko drugačijih boja u odnosu na njihovu uobičajenu paletu (skoro belo, roze, crveno), a nama je zahvaljujući lošim idejama tima koji odlučuje šta će se gde uvesti stigla samo jedna od njih. Neću spominjati kako još uvek nema naznaka da će nam stići ovogodišnja prolećna ili letnja kolekcija, a plašim se da će, ako i kada budu stigle, biti "oslobođene" boja koje su meni zanimljive.

Essie has been on sale here in Serbia so I took this chance to get the only polish from the fall-winter mix our importer tried to pass of as a single collection. If I sound bitter, that is because I am embittered by such policies. As a company, Essie went out of their comfort zone and in autumn and winter last year they offered several shades different from their regular palette (nearly white, pink, red) and thanks to bad ideas of the team that decides what will be imported where, we got only one of them. There are no signs that this year's spring or summer collections will be hitting our stores any time soon and I am afraid that if and when they do, they'd be "free of" polishes that are of interest to me.

Dance Legend Protuberance

Dance Legend kolekcija koja je najviše privukla moju pažnju je Galaxy. Iz ove kolekcije sam kupila četiri od šest lakova, a dva sam preskočila samo zato što ne marim za plavo-ljubičasti duo- i multihrome. Zamalo da ni ovaj ne uzmem, ali radoznalost i sklonost ka čudim bojama su odneli prevagu nad zdravim razumom. Galaxy kolekcija je spakovana u bočice od 6,5 ml (mada sam svojevremeno sa Llarowe sajta naručila i jedan od 15 ml), a lakovi koštaju 7,95 € na Hypnotic Polish, odnosno 8,5 € na Nail Land.

Galaxy is Dance Legend collection which caught my maximum attention. I have bought four of six polishes, and the two I skipped only because I am not a fan of blue-purple shifts. I nearly failed to get this polish as well, but curiosity and my affinity to odd colours got the best of me. Galaxy collection comes in 6.5 ml bottles (although I had bought one in 15 ml bottle from Llarowe some time ago), and each polish retails for 7.95 € at Hypnotic Polish, and 8.5 € at Nail Land.

Matching Manicures - Halfmoons

Nova nedelja, nova tema, ovog puta sasvim po mom ukusu. Iako ovaj tip manikira ne nosim često, radim ga sa uživanjem. Smatram ga veoma nosivim, sa velikom mogućnošću kombinacija boja, od diskretnih preko prefinjenih do hipermodernih. Ja sam se po običaju držala jednostavnosti i nadam se da će vam se svideti ova izvedba.

Another Sunday, another theme, this time right up my alley. Even though I don't wear this form of mani often, I do it gladly. I consider it to be quite wearable, with a wide variety of combinations, from subtle to refined to hyper-modern ones. I have kept to simplicity, as usual, and I hope that you'll like my take on this manicure.

Moyra Nail Art Stamping Plate 07 Labyrinth

Ne mogu da se otrgnem utisku da pečatiranje noktiju polako uzima zamah u Srbiji. Em mi se čini da se žene i devojke sve više interesuju, em se i uvoznici više okreću etabliranim proizvođačima. Moram priznati da do pre par meseci nisam znala da mađarski brend Moyra ima pločice za pečatiranje, a čim sam se zainteresovala ispostavilo se da ih je naš uvoznik, Nail Line, imao i na stanju. Ukoliko ste u Subotici možete po njih otići lično, a za nas ostale preostaje naručivanje sa sajta http://www.nailline.rs/. Cena pločica je 795 dinara, a poštarina je oko 250 dinara.

Moyra.hu

I can't escape the notion that there is more and more interest for nail stamping in Serbia. Not only are girls and women more interested in this form of nail art, but importers are turning to more established brands as well. I have to admit that up until several months ago I had no idea that Hungarian brand Moyra offered image plates as well, but as soon as I expressed interest in them, it turned out that our importer, Nail Line, has them in stock. If you are in Hungary, you can order them from the official website, and if you are elsewhere, http://www.nailland.hu/ ships internationally. Moyra stamping plates retail for 5.90 €.

Sephora Color Hit Shimmery Light Grey

U jesen 2014. godine Sephora je u sklopu Grey Obsession kolekcije ponudila i par prizmatičnih lakova - srebrni i tamno sivi, što su i najčešće verzije holosa koje ne-indie brendovi prave kada požele da se upuste u tu avanturu. Pošto u kolekciji imam nekoliko sličnih lakova, nisam žurila da nabavim ovaj par, ali na kraju su prevladali radoznalost i želja da proverim može li Sephora da nabravi pristojan holo lak. Njih sasvim izvesno nema više u ponudi, mada su se prilično dugo povlačili po onim činijama sa nijansama na snjiženju te ih je možda još uvek moguće naći. Takođe me ne bi začudilo ni da ih Sephora u nekom momentu vrati u proizvodnju i ubaci u stalnu postavku.

For autumn 2014. Sephora had placed on market Grey Obsessions collection and part of it was a couple of prismatic polishes - silver and dark grey, which are the most common choices for non-indie makers when they want to try to make holos. Since I've already had several similar polishes I was not in a hurry to get this pair, but in the end my curiosity and desire to see if Sephora could make a decent holo polish got the better of me. These are no longer available, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were brought back at some point in future.

Flormar 485 Wormwood

Dugo već među Flormar lakovima nisam videla nešto vredno pažnje, ali pre par meseci mi je par njih zapalo za oko. Ovaj je, sudeći po broju, iz novije postave, a moram reći da mi je drago što je Flormar konačno uz brojeve lakovima počeo da daje i čestita imena. Flormar lakovi se mogu naći u svakm DM-u na policama pored kase, kao i po manjim parfimerijama, a cena im je oko 140 dinara za 11 ml.

It has been quite some time since I've seen something of interest among Flormar polishes, however, several months ago a couple of them had caught my eye. Judging from the number, this one is one of the more recent ones and I have to say that I am very pleased that Flormar finally started to give them true names.

Matching Manicures - Glitter

Kasnim, kasnim sa današnjim člankom. Iskreno, mislia sam da ću ovonedeljnu temu preskočiti jer su mi dve zamisli propale, ali snađoh se nekako da ipak ne propustim nedeljni manikir.

I'm late, I'm late with today's mani. To be honest, I thought that I'll have to skip this theme because two of my ideas failed, but I managed to do something in order not to skip matching manicure.

Cuccio 2 AM In Hollywood

Pre nekoliko godina, pre nego što me je ponovo uhvatilo lakoholičarsko ludilo, mojom kolekcijom su dominirale dve boje - crvena i crna. Crvena zapravo i dalje čini najveći deo moje kolekcije, ali crni su lakovi koje najviše trošim. Nema meni bolje podloge za topere, šljokice, ljuspice, pečatiranje od dobre crne kreme. Tako sam došla i do Cuccio crnog laka. Cuccio lakovi imaju 13 ml, koštaju 550 dinara i mogu se nabaviti u salonima koji koriste ovaj brend, a o detaljima se možete raspitati kod uvoznika Silver Line doo.

Several years ago, before I got hit again by polishaholic madness, my collection was dominated by two colurs - red and black. Red is in fact still making fr the biggest part of my collection, but black polishes are those that I use the most. There is no better base for toppers, glitters, flakes, stamping than a good black creme. That is why and how I came by a Cuccio black polish. Cuccio polishes come in 13 ml bottles and are available at salons and salon supply stores.

Alessandro Heavy Metal Shake Your Head

Nisu prošle ni dve godine otkako sam kompletirala Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal četvorku, a već nosim taj poslednji kupljeni lak iz te linije. :D Nisam planirala da ga uopšte uzmem, ali bilo bi mi žao da ga nisam kupila, zbog celovitosti kolekcije. Ovih lakova još uvek ima (mada mislim da su ostale svega dve nijanse) i mogu se nabaviti direktno od uvoznika.

Not two years have passed since I rounded up the Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal foursome, and I am already wearing the one that I had bought last. :D At first I wasn't planning to get it at all, but it would be a shame had I not bought it because now I have the entire collection. This was a limited edition and I am unsure if it can still be found somewhere.

Aprilski noviteti

Prođe rođendanski mesec, a ja sebi ne kupih ništa egzotično. Zapravo, pokušala sam da naručim neke indie i boutique lakove, ali ovog puta mi je kartica odbijena iz nepoznatog razloga. Šmrc. No da se utešim, tu je bio Sajam sa nekim zaista neočekivanim novinama, a nisu izostale ni neke kupovine sa strane. Hajde da vidimo šta je sve završilo u mojoj kutijici ovomesečnih noviteta i šta nas novo očekuje u prodaji.

My birthday month has come and gone and I haven't bought myself anything exotic. Actually, I did try to order some indie and boutique polishes, but for unknown reason my card has been declined. Sniffle. However, as a consolation there was Cosmetics Expo with some really unexpected new arrivals, and I had some other purchases as well. Let's have a look at what ended up in my box of new items.

Matching Manicures - Geometric

Juče ste u prikazu MoYou Nails providnog pečata mogli da vidite deo današnjeg manikira. Tema su nam geometrijski oblici i zamalo da odem najpredvidljivijim putem za mene (ahem, Mondrijan, Kandinski, Metropolis) no u poslednjem trenutku sam se predomislila i izvukla nešto malo drugačije, mada ne van moje zone prijatnosti.

You could see a portion of today's mani yesterday in MoYou Nails clear stamper review. This week's theme is geometric design, and I nearly went the most obvious way for me (ahem, Mondrian, Kandinsky, Metropolis), but at the last moment I changed my mind and took a bit different turn, albeit I did not push myself outside of my zone of comfort.
