A England Proserpine

Muka me uhvati kada pomislim da je neisprobani deo moje kolekcije lakova veći od većine celih kolekcija lakova normalnih ljudi. Polako, ali sigurno prolazim kroz sve neisprobance i danas je na redu poslednji A England koji još uvek nisam nosila, iako ga imam 5 godina.

I get sick to my stomach when I think that there are more polishes in my untrieds than in most normal people's full collections. However, I am going through them one at a time and today I get to show you the last A England polish that has remained unworn for 5 years.

Dior Nirvana

Otkako se ponuda lakova sa posebnim efektima povećala, prošla me je volja za krem lakovima, iako oni čine četvrtinu moje kolekcije. Ovaj krem lak je čekao sedam godina da ga namažem. Ovo je prvi Dior lak koji sam kupila, a poslednji koji sam nosila.

Ever since the range of polishes with special effects increased, I have gone off creme polishes, even though they make about the quarter of my collection. This particular creme waited for seven years to be worn. It is the first Dior polish I ever bought, but the last one to be worn.

Jelly Sandwich

Jelly sendvič nije tehnika koja mi se preterano sviđa, pre svega zato što ne volim jelly lakove. Pre mesečak dana nam je upravo ovo bila tema za tematski petak te sam htela da vidim imam li nešto u kolekciji što bi poslužilo. Rezultat je... u redu. Sasvim u redu.

Jelly sandwich is not a technique I particularly like, mostly because I don't like jelly polishes. However, about a month ago this was a theme for our thematic mondays so I wanted to see whether I had something in my collection that could serve this purpose. The end result is... fine. It's just fine.

Matching Manicures - Teal

Nova nedelja, nova tema. Ovog puta nosimo petrolej lakove. Ugrabila sam koji minut da iskombinujem dva i uradim ovaj jednostavan i brz, a nadam se zanimljiv manikir.

New Sunday, new theme. This time we are wearing teal polishes. I took this opportunity to combine two of them in this fast and easy, and hopefully interesting mani.

OPI Washington DC Mini Set

Aktuelna OPI kolekcija je Washington DC jesenja kolekcija napravljena u saradnji sa Kerry Washington. Kolekcija sadrži dvanaest standardnih lakova i tri limitirane boje. Iako finiši nisu baš za padanje u nesvest (skoro sve su kreme), izbor boja je zanimljiviji nego obično, što je lepo, a nekoliko boja je baš u mom fazonu, što je još bolje. Osim same kolekcije, u ponudi se nalazi i ovaj set od četiri mini laka. Cela kolekcija će moći da se uzme na sajmu, po sajamskoj ceni.

Current OPI collection is autumnal Washington DC collection, made in cooperation with Kerry Washington. It contains twelve regulat and three limited shades. Even though finishes are nothing to die for, choice of colour is more interesting than usual, which is nice, and several shades are right up my alley, which is even better. Along with regular polishes, they have made this set of four mini polishes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cuccio Pomegranate Nail Strengthener, Prince I've Been Gone, 7 Second Reactive Top Coat

Mogli ste videti na mom Instagramu (@cajkinekandze) i u mesečnom pregledu da sam pre par nedelja što dobila što kupila dosta Cuccio proizvoda za nokte. Iako je Cuccio pre svega brend za profesionalnu upotrebu, na Sajmu će svako moći da kupi ove (i sve druge) proizvode na štandu Silver Line doo. Redovna cena baze i lakova je 550 dinara, a 7 Second Reactive Top Coat je 900 dinara, ali na Sajmu možemo očekivati promotivne cene i specijalne ponude.

You could see on my Instagramu (@cajkinekandze) and monthly overview that I have gotten and bought quite a few Cuccio nail products. Even though Cuccio is brand for professional use, all these goodies will be available to everyone at the upcoming Cosmetics Expo.

ILNP Mountain View

Moja kolekcija indie lakova je skromna, delom zbog njihove slabije dostupnosti, delom zbog cene, delom zato što ima toliko brendova da je teško odlučiti se. No za mene se jedan brend izdvojio kako svojom paletom boja, tako i svojom ambalažom, koja ne deluje kao da je indie već kao da je high end (zapravo se više i ne vode kao indie već kao boutique brend). To je brend koji imenom sumira stav svake lakoholičarke prema lakovima - ILNP (I Love Nail Polish). ILNP lakovi imaju 12 ml i na NailLand sajtu koštaju 10,6-12,3 € u zavisnosti od finiša i kolekcije. NailLand šalje robu širom sveta - za Evropu šalju GLS-om (General Logistics Systems) i mađarskom poštom (Hungarian Post), a za ostatak sveta samo preko mađarske pošte. Za Srbiju šalju preko mađarske pošte (sa praćenjem) i poštarina je 10 € za narudžbine do 5 proizvoda, odn. 15 € za narudžbine preko 5 proizvoda, a besplatna je za pošiljke preko 75 € odn. 100 €. Ako se nađete u Budimpešti, možete posetiti i njihovu radnju u centru WestEnd u Váci ulici. Takođe svake nedelje organizuju takmičenja na svom Instagram nalogu u kojima možete osvojiti kupone za popust na njihovom sajtu.

I have only a modest selection of indie polishes, partly because they are not as easily accessible, partly because of their price, partly because there are so many brands that it is difficult to make a choice. However, there is a brand that in my book set itself apart from others in terms of colour scheme and its packaging, which doesn't look like indie, but like high end packaging (in fact they aren't an indie brand any more, but a boutique brand). Name of this brand sums up what every polishaholic feels - ILNP (I Love Nail Polish). ILNP polishes come in 12 ml bottles and retail for 10.6-12.3 € at NailLand, depending on finish and collection. NailLand ships worldwide - from Europe via GLS (General Logistics Systems) and Hungarian Post, and for rest of the world only via Hungarian Post. Shipping via Hungarian Post is with tracking and costs € 10 for orders up to five items and € 15 for orders larger than five items. They also offer free shipping for orders over €75 (up to five items) and € 100 (over five items). If you are in Budapest, you can visit their shop at WestEnd City Center at Váci street. They also organize weekly contests on their Instagram and you can win discount for shopping on their website.

OPI Color Paints

Letos nam je uz jesenju OPI kolekciju stigla i kolekcija lakova za nail art. Pod imenom Color Paints krije se osam prozračnih lakova u boji i srebrna podloga, od kojih se svaki pojedinačno može kupiti u bočici od 15 ml po standardnoj ceni OPI laka. Takođe postoji i mini set, u kome se nalazi pet boja i srebrni lak (6 x 3,5 ml) po ceni od 2340 dinara. U Prima apoteci na Terazijama sam videla i da se neki od ovih mini lakova mogu naći i van seta, po ceni od oko 250 dinara.

This summer alongside autumnal OPI collection we also got a collection of blendable polishes for nail art. Color Paints collection consists of eight sheer polishes and silver base. They can be bought individually or as a set of silver polish and five colours in mini bottles.

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.

OPI Amazon...Amazoff

Kako se lako može zaboraviti na neki lak. Meni se to desilo sa OPI Amazon...Amazoff - jedinim lakom iz Brazil kolekcije koji sam kupila dok je kolekcija bila aktuelna, tj. na proleće 2014. godine. Nosila sam ga, imala pomešana osećanja prema njemu, bila ubeđena da sam ga predstavila i onda mesecima kasnije shvatila da je mukica ostao nekako zaboravljen. OPI lakove možete kupiti u apotekama, Sefori i Nail Line-u. U Prima apotekama svakog 15. u mesecu ih možete kupiti sa 15% popusta, a neke boje su trenutno na sniženju i koštaju 700 dinara.

How easy it is to forget about a nail polish. It has happened to me with OPI Amazon...Amazoff - the only polish from Brazil collection that I bought while the collection was still current, that is in spring 2014. I have worn it, had mixed feelings about it, been convinced that I have blogged about it and months later realized that I have forgotten about it.

MisMatching manicure

Blogodrugarice danas rade tematski manikir posvećen dizanju svesti o raku dojke. Svakog oktobra smo preplavljeni ružičastim trakama i sličnim proizvodima, a ja ružičasti lak nemam. Umesto ružičaste, predstavljam vam petrolej i ljubičaste vrpce, koje su između ostalog znak ginekoloških kancera. Moja majka je rano ostala bez svoje majke upravo zbog ginekološkog kancera, a i druga baka mi je preminula usled jednog od njih kada sam bila mala. Mame i bake su potrebne deci. Zarad vaše dece, vaših unuka, molim vas da redovno idete kod ginekologa, radite PAPA test, pregledajte svoje grudi i vodite računa o sebi.

My fellow bloggers are doing breast cancer awareness manis today. Every October we get engulfed by pink ribbons and stuff and I don't even have a pink polish. So instead of pink, I am doing teal and purple ribbons, ribbons of gynecologic cancer awareness. My mother has lost her mother because of a gynecologic cancer and my other grandmother has also passed due to one of those. Children need their moms and grandmas. Please, for your children and your grandchildren, do go for regular gynecological check ups, have your breasts examined, have your pap smears done and take good care of yourselves.

Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal Rock It Baby

Tmurno vreme me baca u depresiju, ali na svu sreću to je idealno vreme za slikanje preliva u duo- i multihromatskim lakovima, koji me čine srećnom. Zato sam pre neki dan izvukla jedan od Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal topera koje sam kupila prošle godine i danas vam ga sa zadovoljstvom predstavljam. Alessandro lakovi iz ove koelkcije se mogu naručiti direktno od uvoznika Alessandro Srbija, a bilo ih je i na prošlom sajmu kozmetike te pretpostavljam da će moći da se nabave i na predstojećem 26. Dodiru Pariza.

Murky weather makes me depressed, but fortunately that is the ideal weather for capturing colour shift in duo- and multichromatic polishes and those make me happy. That is why several days ago I took one of my untried Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal toppers and now I am happy to show it to you.

OPI I Saw...U Saw...We Saw...Warsaw

Nakupili su mi se plavi lakovi, a jedan od onih koji mi najduže stoje neisprobani je OPI I Saw...U Saw...We Saw...Warsaw. Verovatno bi mi još dugo stajao neisproban da mi nije bila potrebna svetlija teget podloga za poslednji usklađeni manikir. OPI lakovi imaju 15 ml i koštaju oko 1200 dinara. Neki lakovi iz ove kolekcije su ušli u stalnu postavku, ali ne i I Saw...U Saw...We Saw...Warsaw pa ne znam da li se on još uvek može naći u prodaji.

I have quite a few blue untrieds and one that's been siting there for a very long time is OPI I Saw...U Saw...We Saw...Warsaw. It would probably still be unworn had I not needed a lighter navy-blue polish for the latest Matching Manicure. Several polishes from this collection are now part of OPI's Classics range, but not I Saw...U Saw...We Saw...Warsaw so I don't know if it still can be found.

Essie Mind Your Mittens

Dugo nisam pisala o nekom Essie laku, sve se nadajući da će nam uskoro stići Cashmere Matte kolekcija i da ću predstaviti neki od tih lakova. Kako nam ta kolekcija nije stigla okrećem se starim neisprobancima, ovog puta iz Shearling Darling kolekcije za zimu 2013. Možda se još uvek može naći upola cene ili čak jeftinije u pojedinim DM i Lilly drogerijama.

It's been awhile since I last posted some Essie polish, all the while hoping that Cashmere Matte collection is about to arrive and that I'll show you some of those polishes. But it hasn't arrived (and I don't know if it ever will), so I turn to my old untrieds, this time from Shearling Darling, collection for winter 2013.

A England Saint George

Iako ovaj dragulj imam već godinu dana tek sada je stigao na red za nošenje. Čekala sam pravu priliku da ga nosim, ali na kraju sam ga namazala samo zato što je bio sunčan dan :D A England lakovi imaju 11 ml, 3-free su i nose znak veselog zeke netestiranja na životinjama. Mogu se nabaviti samo preko interneta, a do svoja (za sada) jedina dva sam došla zahvaljujući MarryJ.

Even though I've had this jewel for a year now it is only now that I managed to try it. I have waited for some special occasion and in the end I only wore it because it was a sunny day :D A England polishes come in 11 ml bottles, they are 3-free and cruelty free. They can only be bought online and I have gotten my two thanks to MarryJ.

MoYou Nails 128

Nokti su mi porasli pa se mogu vratiti predstavljanju novih MoYou Nails pločica za pečatiranje sa motivima za ceo nokat. Danas je na redu pločica 128.

My nails gave grown so I can get back to reviewing new MoYou Nails image plates with designs for full nail. Today I have stamping plate #128 to show you.
