Sephora 5th Avenue

Kako sam u poslednje vreme dosta nosila sive i tmurne lakove, mislim da je red da vam predstavim jedan koji do sada nije dobio svoj članak na ovom blogu. Sephora Color Hit lakovi spadaju u grupu skupih po ml, ali kako su često na sniženjima i rasprodajama, za male novce se mogu kupiti veoma zanimljive nijanse. Takav je bio slučaj sa ovim lakom.

Since I've been wearing a lot of grey and murky polishes lately, I believe that it only decent to show you one that hasn't been shown on this blog so far. Sephora Color Hit polishes fall into the more expensive per ml category, but they are often discounted so that interesting shades can easily be purchased quite cheaply. That was the case with this one.

L'Oreal Violet de Nuit

U drogerije su stigli novi L'Oreal lakovi. Više nema onih preskupih (po ml) minijaturnih Color Riche lakića, sada su u ponudi veći Color Riche Le Vernis à l'Huile lakovi. Njihova bočica veličinom i oblikom podseća na Essie bočicu, a i četkica je poput Essie - široka, pljosnata i zaobljena. Drška četkice je zanimljiva jer ima horizontalne useke koji sprečavaju curenje viška proizvoda. Ovi lakovi su obogaćeni i uljima ruže, lotosa, argana i semena kamelije, ali šta će ona u laku meni nije poznato. Pakovanje je od 13,5 ml, cena 373 dinara u Liliju, odn 499 dinara u DM-u. Ne znam da li je ova cena u Liliju promotivna i, ako jeste, do kada promocija traje.

New L'Oreal polishes have hit the stores. No more tiny overpriced Color Riche polishes, Color Riche Le Vernis à l'Huile polishes are now in town. They are packaged in bottles that resemble Essie bottles and have flat, wide, rounded brush, just like Essie. What is interesting is the stem of the brush - it has bevelled horizontal indentations that prevent excess polish from dripping. These polishes are enriched with rose, lotus flower, camelia seed and argan oils, but I do not know what are they doing in polish.

Matching Manicures - Inspired by a Book

Posle prošlonedeljene pauze, danas se vraćam usklađenom manikiru. Danas za temu imamo nešto meni veoma blisko - knjige. Ukoliko me pratite na Instagramu (@cajkinekandze), znate da uživam u čitanju, posebno jezovitih priča. Stoga nisam imala ni trenutak dvojbe šta će mi biti inspiracija - Montegju Roudz Džejms i Džozef Šeridan Le Fanu, tj. stara Wordsworth Editions izdanja zbirki njihovih pripovedaka.

After last week's break from Matching Manicures, I am back again. Today we have something really close to my heart as a theme - books. If you follow me on Instagram (@cajkinekandze), you already know that I enjoy reading books, especially chilling stories. That is why I did not have a moment of struggle what will be my direct inspiration - Montague Rhodes James and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, i. e. old Wordsworth Editions collections of their stories.

Nova Unitech radnja u Beogradu

Već ste u prošlom mesečnom pregledu mogli da pročitate da se u centru Beograda otvara nova Unitech radnja. Pre nekoliko dana ona je i zaista otvorena, a za sutra, subotu 25. jun, pripremili su popuste i iznenađenja povodom svečanog otvaranja. Hajde da zavirimo u radnju i vidimo šta nas to očekuje sutra, a i inače.

p2 Sand Style 090 Opulent

Vratila sam se sa prinudnog odmora od blogovanja (i generalno od računara) i za danas sam spremila članak o jednom od lakova koji mi poduže stoje neisprobani. p2 lakovi su nam nažalost nedostupni i zato ovih nekoliko koje imam trošim tako nerado. No ako ih ne isprobam, onda zaista ničemu ne služe i zato ću se potruditi da u narednom periodu kombinujem prikazivanje svežih, aktuelnih lakova sa onima koji to više nisu.

I am back from my forced leave from blogging (and computer in general) and I have prepared for today another post about a polish that has been untried for quite awhile. p2 polishes are sadly unavailable outside of Germany, which is why I am hesitant to use them. However, if they are just sitting untried, they are of no use to me, so I shall try in future to combine posts about fresh, current polishes with those about polishes that no longer are that.

Makeup Revolution lakovi

Za zimske praznike sam od sjajne Male Palčice dobila između ostalog i tri laka meni novog brenda. Makeup Revolution je britanski brend poznat pre svega po svojim paletama senki i dok nisam dobila ova tri nisam ni znala da uopšte imaju lakove za nokte u svojoj ponudi. Dugo sam se premišljala da li da ih uopšte predstavim na blogu jer su mi, uprkos Suzaninim najboljim željama i namerama, zapala tri izrazito loša laka. Kasnije sam u razgovoru sa njom saznala da im kvalitet varira od nijanse do nijanse i da je bez čitanja recenzija konkretnih boja koje nas zanimaju nemoguće proceniti da li će lak biti dobar ili ne. No, znamo da je pažnja ono što se računa, te sam ja svakako srećna što sam imala priliku da probam proizvode brenda koji nije dostupan u Srbiji. MUR se može naći u Crnoj Gori i Hrvatskoj, a čitateljke iz Bosne, Makedonije i ostalih zemalja iz komšiluka molim da jave da li se MUR prodaje i kod njih.

For winter holidays Male Palčica had sent me, among other things, three polishes from a brand that was new to me. Makeup Revolution is best known for its eyeshadow palettes and I was unaware that they have nail polishes before I'd gotten these. I deliberated long and hart if I should show them on my blog in the first place because, despite Suzana's best intentions, the three polishes that came to my possession are of quite low quality. After talking to her I learned that their quality varies from shade to shade and that it is impossible to say if the polish will be good or bad without reading reviews of particular shades that we're interested in. However, it is the thought that counts and I am happy to have had a chance to try products from a brand that is unavailable in Serbia.

Rimmel Super Gel lakovi

U mesečnom pregledu noviteta ste mogli da vidite da su nam u drogerije stigli Rimmel Super Gel lakovi. Ovo je sistem hibridnih lakova koji trenutno čini dvadeset lakova u boji (kod nas dostupno šesnaest) i nadlak. Veoma ambiciozno obećavaju postojanost do čak dve nedelje, a kako su se pokazali na delu možete pročitati u nastavku teksta.

You could see in my monthly overview that new Rimmel Super Gel polishes have arrived in our stores. This is a hybrid polish system, consisting of twenty colour polishes and a top coat. They are quite ambitiously promisin up to two weeks of wear and you can read how they performed in the article below.

Matching Manicures - Inspired By a Song

Jedva nekako uspeh da se snađem da objavim današnji manikir. Izgleda da je i mom računaru vruće pa je odlučio da počne da se pregreva i da topi adaptere i punjače i pošto sutra ide na servis, ne znam kada ću biti u prilici da objavim naredni članak. Zbog toga vam se unapred izvinjavam.

I have barely managed to publish today's mani. It seems that my computer is too hot so he decided to overheat and melt all the chargers and adapters and, since it will be leaving for repairs tomorrow, I have no idea when I will be able to publidh the next article. For this, I apologize in advance.

Born Pretty Chameleon 33

Nedavno sam dobila paketić sa nekim lepim Born Pretty proizvodima, a među njima je bio i duohromatski lak koji danas predstavljam. Born Pretty Chameleon lakovi su zbunjujuće spakovani u bočice sa natpisom Holo Polish, a pakovanje je od 6 ml. Cena im je previsoka i za količinu i za kvalitet ($15.88), ali često su na sniženju te se ovaj trenutno može kupiti za "samo" $6.99.

I have recently received a package with some nice Born Pretty goodies, and this duochromatic polish was among them. Born Pretty Chameleon polishes come in 6 ml bottles with confusing Holo Polish label. I find the price of $15.88 too high for this amount and quality, but they are often at some sort of discount and at the moment this one retails for "just" $6.99.

OPI Russian Navy Suede

Tema današnjeg članka je lak koji mi najduže stoji neisproban. Sa skoro tri godine u mojoj kolekciji, bez nošenja i bez predstavljanja, OPI Russian Navy Suede slobodno mogu nazvati najzapostavljenijim lakom. Suede kolekcija već neko vreme nije dostupna, ali povremeno na Krpicama i sličnim sajtovima osvane neki primerak.

The theme of today's post is a polish that has been among my untrieds for the longest time. With nearly three years in my collection without being worn or shown, I can freely name OPI Russian Navy Suede my most neglected polish. Suede polishes have long been discontinued, but sometimes polishes from it can be found on Ebay and similar websites.

Jessica Fishnets and Fringe

Zeleno, volim te zeleno, ali ne volim kada se druge boje predstavljaju kao ti. Svojevremeno sam kod Scrangie videla sliku Jessica Fishnets and Fringe i zaljubila sam se u tu petrolejastu boju. Nažalost, ono što se nalazi u bočici koju ja imam ne liči na ono što je Scrangie predstavila i ne liči ni na plavu ni na zelenu boju čak ni u najluđim snovima. Upozoreni ste. Jessica lakovi su spakovani u bočice od 14,8 ml, mogu se kupiti u Aluna salonima i koštaju oko 1200 dinara.

Green, I love you, but I don't like when other colours want to impersonate you. Some years ago I have seen Jessica Fishnets and Fringe at Scrangie's and I had fallen in love with that gorgeous teal polish. Sadly, contents of the bottle I have is nothing like it and I couldn't consider it green, blue or teal even in my wildest dreams. You've been warned. Jessica polishes come in 14.8 ml bottles and retail for about €10.

Matching Manicures - Inspired by Color

Danas za odgovor na nedeljnu temu inspiraciju tražimo u određenoj boji. Ili u mom slučaju u odsustvu boje. :D Od početka sam znala da ću za ovu temu raditi crni manikir. Izdvojila sam tri omiljena crna laka i verujem da sam ih iskombinovala na ukusan i zadovoljavajući način.

For this weeks theme we are looking for inspiration in colours. Or, in my case, in absence of colour. :D I knew from the start that for this theme I was going to do a black mani. I have selected three of my favourite black polishes and I trust that I have combined them in a tasteful and pleasing way.

OPI Russian Navy

Nedavno sam se videla sa drugaricama lakoholičarkama i povela se priča o metalik plavim lakovima te sam bila inspirisana da izvučem pravi klasik i prvi OPI koji sam ikada nosila - Russian Navy. Ova nijansa je deo stalne postavke te se može i dalje naći u apotekama (ne znam da li je stalno dostupan u Sefori), a u Prima apotekama svakog 15. u mesecu imate 15% popusta na kozmetiku, uključujući i OPI lakove.

I have recently met with my fellow polishaholics and we were discussing metallic blue polishes so I was inspired to take out a true classic and the first OPI polish I have ever worn - Russian Navy. This shade is now part of core collection and is ready available and you have to have it if you don't already own it.

Majski noviteti

Verujte mi, bila sam veoma dobra i ovog meseca sam kupila samo jedan lak. Ova gomila? To sam sve dobila, što za prikaz, što na poklon.

Believe me, I was very good this months and I bought only one polish. This pile? Well, those I have been given, some for review, some as gift.
