Colores de Carol Wild Avocado

Hajde da iskoristim ovo lepo sunčano vreme da nosim i uslikam neki holić. Nov holić. I taman da testiram novu bazu. I da teram inat jesenjim/Haloween manikirima. Multitasking. 😎 Ovo je jedan od lakova koje sam pre mesečak dana uzela preko Lakodoma, koji od sada posluje samo po sistemu pretprodaje, tako da pratite njihove najave kako biste bili u toku sa novim nabavkama.

After a week of true autumnal weather, we got several days of sun. Why not take that opportunity to wear and photograph a holo polish. A new holo polish. And give a new base coat a try. And to go against all the autumnal/Halloween manis. Multitasking. 😎 This is one of the polishes I bouth a month ago from Lakodom, which is now only working as a preorders site, so subscribe to their newsletter to be informed of upcoming preorders.

Dance Legend Big Bang

Još jedan lak koji dugo čeka da ga isprobam je Dance Legend Big Bang. Uzela sam ga za rođendan 2015. godine sa Hypnotic Polish sajta, koji više nažalost ne dostavlja za Srbiju. Cela Galaxy kolekcija se još uvek proizvodi i može se nabaviti preko zvaničnog Dance Legend sajta.

Another polish that has been waiting for a long time to be worn is Dance Legend Big Bang. I got it for birthday in 2015. from Hypnotic Polish. The entire Galaxy collection is still manufacuted and can be ordered from the official Dance Legend website.

ILNP Riot

ILNP je veoma brzo i lako postao moj omiljeni boutique proizvođač lakova za nokte, a nije tajna da su mi zeleni lakovi omiljeni. Zato nije iznenađenje što sam spontano kupila ILNP Riot kada sam pre nekog vremena poručivala neke druge lakove. Ta je porudžbina bila sa sajta Lakodom, koji se na žalost zatvara, ali sam ILNP i dalje proizvodi ovaj lak i dostavlja za Srbiju.

ILNP quickly and easily became my favourite boutique nail polish brand, and it is no secret that green polishes are my favourite. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I threw in ILNP Riot in one of my recent nail polish orders. That order was from Lakodom, who are sadly closing their store, but ILNP is still making this polish and have their own online store and offer international delivery.

Trend It Up Prisma Tip 030

Naravno da nemam ništa novo da vam pokažem. Mislim, ovo jeste novo na blogu, ali lak je po običaju star. Čini mi se da je ovaj iz 2017. godine i naravno da ga više nema u ponudi, ali ne žalite ako ga niste uhvatili jer... pa... videćete.

Of course I don't have anything new to show you. I mean, this is new to the blog, but the polish is old, as usual. I think this one is from 2017. and long discontinued, but don't regret if you have missed it because... well... you'll see.

Dance Legend Roz

Davnijeh dana smo draga Suzana i ja razmenjivale poklone za rođendane i praznike i Roz je bio jedan od lakova koje sam dobila od nje. Trebalo je da prođe samo četiri godine da ga probam, iako mi je bio na listi želja pre nego što sam ga dobila. Dance Legend lakovi se mogu nabaviti kod raznih online trgovaca, kao i sa zvaničnog sajta.

In the olden days, my dear Suzana and I used to exchange gifts for birthdays and holidays and Roz was one of the polishes I got from her. It only took me four years to try it out, even though it was on my wish list at the time I got it. Donce Legend polishes can be ordered from many etailers, as well as from the official website.

ILNP Reminisce H

Od svih boutique brendova, ILNP mi je omiljen. Sećam se kada su izbacili kolekciju Ultra Chrome™ lakova, a potom i unapređene verzije sa holo česticama. Obe kolekcije su bile toliko uspešne da su ovi lakovi i dalje u ponudi i mogu se nabaviti direktno sa proizvođačevog sajta ili kod bilo kog od mnogih distributera.

Our of all the boutique nail polish brands, ILNP is my favourite. I remember when they first launched their Ultra Chrome™ collection, and then holo versions of those polishes. Both collections were so successfull that those polishes are still available on their website and from any of their distributors.

Flormar Full Color FC23 Petite Mint

Pošto smo u petak mazale mint lakove i pokazala sam vam tačkasti manikir, vreme je da vam predstavim i lak koji sam koristila kao osnovu. Dobila sam ga prošle godine, dok smo još radili iz kancelarije, od koleginice kojoj nije legao. Kako volim mintaće, nisam se bunila :) Flormar lakovi se mogu nabaviti u Lilly i DM drogerijama i koštaju oko 120 dinara, mada često budu na popustu.

Since we have worn mint polishes since Friday and I have already shown you my dotticure, it is time to show you the polish I used as base. I have gotten it last year, while we were still working from the office, from a coworker who didn't feel it. And as I love minty polishes, I didn't object :)

China Glaze Con-fused?

Pre teksturnih lakova, prolazni trend su bili magnetni lakovi, mada je pitanje koliko je trend bio prolazan. Iako nikada nisu bili masovno prisutni kao teksturci, magnetni lakovi se još uvek mogu naći kod mnogih indie proizvođača. No pre deset godina je bio trenutak kada su mnogi opšteprisutni proizvođači odlučili da ubace i magnetne lakove u svoju ponudu kroz jednu ili dve kolekcije. Jedan od tih proizvođača je i China Glaze, koji je kroz dve edicije Magnetix lakova ponudio 12 nijansi i dva magneta sa po tri šare. China Glaze lakovi na žalost već godinama više nisu dostupni kod nas, odnosno nove kolekcije se ne nabavljaju, a postojeće zalihe se rasprodaju. Tako se ovaj lak može nabaviti za prilično smešnih 190 dinara u Aleandar Cosmetics.

Before textured polishes, the biggest passing trend in nail polishes was magnetic polishes, although it is debatable how passing it was. Even though they have never been as widespread as textured polishes, they can still be found in many indie lines. However, 10 years ago many mainstream manufacturers made a collection or two of magnetic polishes. One of them was China Glaze, who offered 12 shades and 2 magnets with 3 patterns each in two editions of Magnetix polishes.

Born Pretty Chameleon 212

Ne bih ja bila ja da ne unapredim krem lak. Uvek sam volela sedefaste i šljokičave lakove, a sa raširenom pojavom duohrom, multihrom, holo i ostalih finiša mislim da sam postala veoma razmažena i krem lakovi mi više nisu dovoljni sami po sebi. Zato ih koristim skoro isključivo kao osnovu za crtanje ili pečatiranje ili moram preko njih staviti neki toper. Pošto mi stoji stotinak neisprobanih lakova, uzela sam jedan od neisprobanih topera u mojoj omiljenoj kombinaciji boja da namažem preko Catrice koji sam namazala u petak.

I wouldn't be me if I hadn't upgraded a creme polish. I have always loved shimmery and glittery polishes, and with duochrome, multichrome, holo and other finishes being more accessible, I think I got very spoiled and creme polishes are no longer enough on their own. That is why I use them almost exclusively in nail art, stamping or as a base for a topper. And since I have about a hundred of untried polishes, I took one of the untried toppers in my favourite colour combo to use over the Catrice I applied on Friday.

Galaxy 52 Wicked Witch & Galaxy Top Coat

O hai! Kako ste? Ja sam dobro, hvala na pitanju. Da, prošlo je nekoliko godina otkad sam poslednji put objavila nešto na blogu, čak i na Instagramu, ali to je samo posledica života koji je umešao svoje prste. To ne znači da sam prestala da marim za lakove, ali mi je sve ovo postalo veliko opterećenje, posebno držanje koraka sa aktuelnostima. Umesto da jurim za onim što je novo, odlučila sam da malo uživam u onome što već imam. Kolekcija je prošla kroz veliko čišćenje, jasno su se izdvojili neki favoriti, a pečatiranje i ukrašavanje su pali u zapećak. No na Ana forumu je nedavno spontano oživljena stara tema Tematski petak te mi je palo na pamet da bih mogla da malo (samo malo) oživim i blog. Potrefilo se da je tema odabrana za ovu nedelju omiljeni zeleni lak i da imam rado nošen, a nepredstavljen zeleni lak koji se još uvek može naći u prodaji, tako da danas pišem o Galaxy Wicked Witch.

Hello there! How are you? I'm well, thank you for asking. Yes, it's been several years since I last blogged, or even published something on Instagram, but that's life. It doesn't mean I stopped caring for nail polish, it just all became a bit too much for me, especially keeping up with new releases. So instead of chasing trends, I decided to take a step back and enjoy what I have. I culled my collection, some clear favourites emerged, and I put stamping and nail art on indefinite hold. However, an old topic for our Thematic Friday manis had been revived at Ana forum so I thought I might revie my blog a bit (just a bit). And it happened that our first theme is favourite green nail polish, and I have a well loved one that is still available in Serbia that I haven't posted about, so here I am, writing aobut Galaxy Nail Polish Wicked Witch.

Catrice Noir Vert & Noir Bleu

Taman kada nam je u DM prošle godine stigao Catrice, u ponudu su uveli liniju Noir Noir lakova - 6 veoma tamnih, zacrnjenih lakova čije boje se kreću od crvene i ljubičaste preko sive do plave i zelene. Meni su ovi stigli od Suzi i da ih nisam dobila od nje, sasvim sigurno ne bih sama uzela nijedan jer me sa police nisu mamili. Sada se ovi lakovi povlače iz proizvodnje pa je moguće naći ih po sniženoj ceni u činijama kod kase u DMu.

Just as Catrice hit our DM stores last year, they had added Noir Noir line of polishes to their range. Noir Noir line consists of 6 very dark, blackened polishes that range from red and purple to grey to blue and green. I have gotten these two from Suzi and if it weren't for her, I would not have tried them at all, because they didn't call to me from the shelf. Now this line has been discontinued so you can probably get them for just a fraction of price in DM stores and other retailers that might carry them.

ILNP Nostalgia (H)

Skoro je jesen, a ja još uvek nisam pokazala lak koji sam nosila krajem proleća, na Japanizmu. Nostalgia je jedan od mnogih lakova koje sam prošle godine nabavila preko blogorasprodaje. ILNP lakove inače možete nabaviti preko Hypnotic Polish i NailLand. Bočica je od 12 ml i košta €12,3 na Hypnotic Polish, a na NailLand-u trenutno ovog laka nema u ponudi.

It is nearly autumn and I still haven't written about a polish that I wore for this year's Japanizam. ILNP Nostalgia is one of many polishes I got through a blog sale. You can get ILNP polishes through many etailers, and I can recommend Hypnotic Polish and NailLand. It comes in 12 ml bottle and retails for €12.3 on Hypnotic Polish, and is currently unavailable on NailLand.

Zoya Olivera

Kada su zimus posle dugog, predugog čekanja konačno stigle nove kolekcije Zoya lakova u Ultra Sun, imala sam spisak lakova koje sam uzela u razmatranje za kupovinu. Olivera nije bila među njima, ali je jedan pogled uživo na nju bio dovoljan da budem sasvim očarana te sam je bez razmišljanja ponela kući. Oliveru i druge Zoya lakove možete kupiti u Ultra Sun-u i kod njihovih distributera po ceni od 949 dinara.

When, after too long a wait, new Zoya collections finally arrived in Ultra Sun, I went there with a list of polishes I considered buying. Olivera was not on that list, but a single glance at it in person was quite enough to charm me, so I had to take her home with me.

Dance Legend Mars

Kada je pre nekoliko godina Dance Legend napravio Chameleon kolekciju lakova, napravili su i tri laka proizvedena u malom broju, od kojih se jedan nije nikada ni našao u prodaji već se samo mogao dobiti kao poklon uz kupovinu u Rusiji. Ta tri laka su Mars, Phobos i Deimos, a Mars sam ludom srećom uspela da nabavim pada sam pre par godina naručila neke lakove sa Hypnotic Polish. Ovi su lakovi odavno rasprodati i ne mogu se više naći, sem kada povremeno osvanu na ebay-u.

When Dance Legend made a Chameleon collection several years ago, they also made three limited edition polishes, one of which was never even sold, but only given as a gift with purchase in Russia. Those three polishes are Mars, Phobos and Deimos, and I was fortunate enough to get Mars a couple of years ago when I placed an order with Hypnotic Polish. These polishes have long been sold out and can't be found any more, except when they show up on ebay.

Harunouta L020

Kašmirska šara mi je među omiljenim dezenima, što zbog jasno prepoznatljivog oblika samog po sebi, što zbog raznolikosti detalja u sklopu te šare. Jedna od boljih pločica za pečatiranje upravo ovog motiva je Harunouta L020, koja na Nur Besten sajtu trenutno košta 2,99 € umesto 5,39 €.

37413

Paisley is among my favourite patterns, partly because clearly recognisable motif itself, partly because of the variety found among individual designs. One of better paisley stamping plates is Harunouta L020, which currently retails for €2.99 instead of €5.39 at Nur Besten website.

Literary Lacquers Grasshopper With Cotton Candy Hair

Još jedan knjiški lak kome nisam odolela je Literary Lacquers Grasshopper With Cotton Candy Hair iz Community kolekcije za 2014. godinu. Literary Lacquers lakovi su inspirisani književnim delima, ručno su pravljeni i cene im variraju od laka do laka. Mogu se nabaviti u autorkinoj Etsy radnji, ali tokom aprila će radnja biti zatvorena.

Another bookish polish I couldn't resist is Literary Lacquers Grasshopper With Cotton Candy Hair from Community collection from 2014. Literary Lacquers are inspired by literature, they are made by hand and their prices vary from polish to polish. They can be purchased from creator's Etsy store, but the store is not open in April.

Zoya Elphie

Još jedna kolekcija Zoya lakova koju sam željno iščekivala je Enchanted, pre svega zbog novih Pixie Dust nijansi jer su Zoya teksturci moji omiljeni teksturci. Enchanted je bila praznična kolekcija za 2016. godinu i čine je četiri PixieDust i dva klasična laka. Sa novim lakovima su stigle i nove cene, ali ovi lakovi vrede svaku paru. PixieDust i Matte linije su 1070, a klasične linije su 949 dinara, a na sajmu će važiti popust od 10%. Van sajma ih možete uzeti u Ultra Sun prodajnim mestima u Beogradu ili preko sajta.

Another Zoya collection that I was eagerly awaiting was Enchanted, mostly because of new PixieDust shades. After all, PixieDusts are my favourite textured polishes. Enchanted was holiday 2016. collection and consists of four textured and two classic polishes. They retail for $10 and are worth every penny.

Alessandro Go Magic Crystal Punk Green Underground

Magic City u svojoj ponudi Alessandro proizvoda ima i više setova lakova, često sa nekin posebnim efektom. Crystal Punk setovi se sastoje od crnog krem laka i topera sa ljuspicama u četiri boje, a ja imam Green Underground da vam pokažem. Lakovi su od po 5 ml. Moguće je da će se ovi setovi naći na Alessandro štandu na sajmu za vikend.

There are many Alessandro nail polish sets, most of them with some special effect. Crystal Punk sets consist of a black creme polish and a topper with flakes in four colours, and I have Green Underground to show you today. Polishes are in 5 ml bottles and can still be found on Ebay and similar websites.

EnjoyOurs Nail Vinyls

U nail art svetu su lepljivi šabloni veoma popularni u poslednjih par godina i proizvođači se stalno utrkuju ko će izbaciti originalnije motive. I na EnjoyOurs sajtu se mogu nabaviti proizvodi ovog tipa te sam ja iskoristila priliku da neke isprobam.

EOS002382

Nail vinyls have been very popular for the last couple of years and manufacturers keep competing who will offer more original designs. EnjoyOurs has a selection of these products and I took a chance to try some of them.

Zoya Merida

Dugo, predugo smo čekali da nam novi Zoya lakovi stignu, ali napokon smo ih dočekali. Urban Grunge je kolekcija kojoj sam se najviše radovala jer je u njoj bilo lakova sa holo šimerom, kakve odlično prave. Naravno da mi je zeleni bio na vrhu liste za kupovinu i onaj koji sam morala da kupim u prvom odlasku u nabavku. Sa novim lakovima su stigle i nove cene, ali ovi lakovi vrede svaku paru. Klasične linije su 949 dinara, a Matte i Pixie Dust su 1070.

We've been waiting long, too long, for new Zoya polishes to arrive, but they are finally here. Urban Grunge is a collection I was most looking forward to because it has several polishes with holo shimmer, the ones they are so good at making. Naturally, green one was on the top of my list and the one I had to get in the first visit to the shops. New prices apply now, but these polishes are worth every penny.
