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.

Minty Dotticure

Uporedo sa povratkom blogu, vratila sam se i Instagramu, mada iz sasvim drugih razloga. Ranije sam imala dosta slobodnog vremena i to sam vreme rado provodila na Instagramu. Onda sam imala sve manje vremena i prolazili bi dani, nedelje pre nego što bih pokrenula aplikaciju. Sticajem okolnosti, poslednjih nekoliko meseci zbog posla često idem na Instagram te tako osim poslovnih stvari vidim i ponešto od onoga što meni dragi ljudi kače. Takođe je sada skoro godinu dana otkako radim od kuće te pauze ne mogu da provodim u razgovoru sa kolegama, ali zato mogu da gledam razne lepe slike. Tako sam naišla na nagradni izazov koji je pokrenuo sajt Whats Up Nails. Trenutna tema za izazov su tačkice.

As I returned to my blog, I returned to Instagram as well, although due to a different cause. I used to have a lot of free time, which I loved to spend on Insta. Then I had less and less time and days and weeks would go by without me even starting the app. However, it happened that I actually need to use Instagram for work quite often, which means that alongside business-related stuff, I also catch a glimpse of what people I follow shared. And it is now almost a year since I've been working from home, whiche means that I am no longer spending my breaks talking to my coworkers, but I can spend them now looking at pretty pictures. That is how I found a nail art challenge by Whats Up Nails, and the current theme is dotticure.

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.

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 €.

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.

Born Pretty BP-L010

Mada generalno nisam ljubitelj etno motiva na noktima, ovi na Born Pretty BP-L010 pločici su toliko topli da sam morala da ih iskoristim za ovo lepo vreme.

While I am normally not a fan of ethic patterns on nails, these from Born Pretty BP-L010 stamping plate are so warm that I had to use them for this nice weather.

Born Pretty BP-L054

Kada pomislim na pločice sa geometrijskim dezenima, nešto poput ove pločice mi nije baš prva pomisao. To je dobro jer znači da nisu u pitanju baš česti motivi.

http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-126cm-rectangle-stamping-template-geometry-design-manicure-nail-image-plate-l054-p-36312.html

When I think of stamping plates with geometric designs, something like this image plate does not exactly spring to mind, which is good because it means that there are not many like it out there.

Born Pretty BP-L050

Geometrijski motivi i optičke varke su popularni motivi na pločicama za pečatiranje i Born Pretty Store ne zaostaje za drugim proizvođačima kada su ovakve slike u pitanju.

http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-126cm-rectangle-stamping-template-wave-design-manicure-nail-image-plate-l050-p-36308.html

Geometric images and optical illusions are fairly popular designs on stamping plates and Born Pretty Store does not lag behind other manufacturers when it comes to these motifs.

Born Pretty BPX-l012 Exoticism

Već neko vreme sam bila u potrazi za pločicom sa dobrim izborom slika plamena, a ova pločica mi je došla kao naručena. Ne samo što ima plamenove, nego ima i nekoliko feniksa, što znači da sam mogla da na bolji način uradim manikir inspirisan natprirodnim koji smo radili pre nekoliko meseci, a kojim nisam bila zadovoljna.

I've been looking for a stamping plate with good selection of flame images for some time now, and this plate was just what I had in mind. Not only does it have flames, but it also has some phoenix designs, which means that I could remake Inspired by Supernatural Matching Manicure we had done several months ago, that I was not pleased with.

http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-126cm-rectangle-stamping-template-manicure-nail-image-plate-exoticism-l012-p-36347.html

Obično za predstavljanje pločica uradim četiri manikira sa po jednom slikom, ali ovom prilikom sam iskoristila četiri motiva za jedan manikir. Nadam se da vam se rezultat sviđa.

I usually do four manis using one image for each when I do stamping plate reviews, but this time I used four designs for a single mani. I do hope you like the end result.

ILNP The Road To Awe

Poslednjom nabavkom indie i boutique lakova dominirali su ILNP lakovi, a po prvi put sam uzela i nekoliko Ultra Chrome ljuspastih lakova. The Road To Awe je jedan od njih. Pakovanje je od 12 ml i košta €12,3 i na Hypnotic Polish i na NailLand.

ILNP polishes dominated my last order of indie and boutique polishes, and for the first time I got several Ultra Chrome Flakies polishes. The Road To Awe is one of them. It comes in 12 ml bottle and retails for €12.3 both on Hypnotic Polish and NailLand.

Born Pretty BP-L049

Od momenta kada se pojavila, BP-L049 pločica mi je privukla pažnju i morala sam da je posedujem. Već sam spomenula da studiram turski jezik pa mi je pločica sa bliskoistočnim motivima bila prirodan izbor. Nadam se da će se i vama svideti.

http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-126cm-rectangle-stamping-template-vines-design-manicure-nail-image-plate-l049-p-36307.html

From the moment it first showed up, BP-L049 image plate had caught my eye and I just had to own it. I have already mentioned that I study Turkish language and literature, so a stamping plate with middle eastern designs was a natural choice for me.

CND Vinylux Gilded Pleasure

Štand na sajmu kozmetike sa kog se ne vraćam praznih ruku je Unitech, bilo zato što sam sama uzela nešto, bilo zato što mi dobra vila Verica napravi paketić. Ovog puta je odabrala zaista lep set i ubacila mi dva Vinylux laka. Jedan je bio po mom izboru, a ja ću danas pričati o Gilded Pleasure, laku koji je ona odabrala. Vinylux sistem možete kupiti u Unitech radnjama i preko njihovog sajta. I lakovi i nadlak koštaju po 1117 dinara.

Cosmetics expo booth that I am not leaving empty-handed is Unitech, be it because I got myself something nice, or because Verica, my CND fairy godmother, makes me a package. This time she made a really nice set, with two Vinylux polishes - one of my choice and the other one that she had picked herself. Today I am writing about her pick - Gilded Pleasure.

Matching Manicures - Delicate Print

Danas po drugi put ove godine za temu imamo nežni print (prethodni možete videti ovde). Ovog puta nisam išla na očekivane motive čipke već sam se okrenula orijentalnim motivima, što i nije neočekivano s obzirom na to da nisam odustala (još uvek) od studija turskog jezika (i književnosti i kulture).

Today is the second time this year that we are doing fine print for our Matching Manicures (you can have a look at the previous one here. This time I did not go for the obvious lace prints, but opted for Oriental motifs, which is not unexpected considering that I have not (yet) given up on my Turkish language (literature and culture as well) studies.

MoYou Nails 432

MoYou Nails s vremena na vreme organizuje takmičenje/izazov za blogere i ovog puta sam se i ja priključila i mogu reći da zaista jeste bio izazov. Dobila sam dve pločice po izboru MoYou Nails i trebalo je sa njima da napravim dovoljno reprezentativne manikire da mogu da ih podelim sa svetom. Jedna pločica mi je bila prilično neinspirativna, a ova sa motivima za francuski manikir mi se svidela, samo sam se plašila da neću moći ništa da izvedem zbog trenutne dužine noktiju. No snašla sam se i zapravo sam zadovoljna rezultatom, a nadam se da će se i vama svideti ovo što sam spremila.

https://moyounails.com/shop/image-plates/image-plate-432/

From time to time, MoYou Nails holds a contest/challenge for bloggers and this time I took part in it and I can honestly say that it was challenging. I received two image plates chosen by MoYou Nails and was supposed to make manis that would look good enough to share. One stamping plate didn't really speak to me, but this one with French tips designs I liked, I was just worried that wouldn't be able to showcase it with my current nail length. However, I did manage to come up with something I like and I hope you'll like it as well.

ILNP Abundance (H)

Letos sam opet uspela da nabavim neke ILNP (i ne samo ILNP) lepote i da ih precrtam sa liste želja. Abundance mi se na toj listi povremeno pojavljivao, pa sam ga sklanjala pa vraćala pa... Smatrala sam da imam dovoljno sličnih lakova i da mi, iako je sasvim po mom ukusu, ne treba još jedan. No čim se ukazala prva prilika da ga uzmem, zgrabila sam je i sada je ova divota moja. Samo moja. Pakovanje je od 12 ml i košta €12,3 i na Hypnotic Polish i na NailLand.

This summer I managed to snag some ILNP (and not just ILNP) beauties and cross them off my wish list. Abundance is a polish that was on and off that list quite a few times because I considered that I already have enough similar polishes and that, even though this one was right up my alley, I don't need another one. However, the first time I had the chance to get my hands on it, I took it and now this gorgeousness is mine. All mine. It comes in 12 ml bottle and retails for €12.3 both on Hypnotic Polish and NailLand.

Matching Manicures - Lišće

Danas nam je tema lišće i mada ne mora nužno da bude jesenje lišće, ja sam bila u raspoloženju za prikladan sezonski manikir.

Today's theme is leaves, and while it doesn't have to be autumnal leaves, I was in the mood for a season-appropriate mani.

MoYou London Holy Shapes 03

Proletos me je Alexandar Cosmetics prijatno iznenadio novim brendom u svojoj ponudi - MoYou London je konačno dobio uvoznika za Srbiju. Iako su pločice prilično skupe, spremila sam se da na sajmu skoro sve novce dam upravo za njih, ali avaj, nisu poneli celu ponudu i uspela sam da nađem samo jednu pločicu sa svog podužeg spiska. U međiuvremenu mi se čini da je stigla dopuna i da su sada u dostupne i neke pločice kojih nije bilo proletos, na sajmu će biti izložene sve pločice trenutno u ponudi, a organizovaće i demonstraciju za one koji još uvek nisu upoznati sa ovim brendom koji je postao globalni fenomen. Redovna cena pločica je 990 dinara.

https://moyou.co.uk/products/holy-shapes-plate-collection-03

This spring we got local importer for MoYou London image plates. At the last cosmetics expo I was prepared to spend a lot of money on these plates, but they had only one of many I had on my wish list. However, this time they will bring the whole lot and I can't wait to get more of these.

Zoya Tomoko

Još uvek je neizvesno da li će nam i kada stići nove kolekcije Zoya lakova i zbog toga mislim da je red podsetiti se onih boja koje nam jesu dostupne. Do 1. oktobra možete iskoristiti sniženje i kupiti Matte i PixieDust lakove za 551 dinara, odnosno 495 dinara ako su iz klasične linije. Ovo sniženje važi u UltraSun maloprodajnim objektima i na sajtu. Moguće je da će i na sajmu biti nekih popusta ili posebnih ponuda, ali za sada ništa nije tačno određeno.

Our importer has given quite a big discount on Zoya polishes, which is nearing its end now, and I am yet to show you colours I've picked. Since we do not know when and if the new collections will be imported, it would only be in order to review some of the shades that are readily available.

Harunouta Stamping Plate L008

Trenutno poslednja Harunouta / Spring Song pločica koju imam je pločica za koju verujem da je među popularnijima. Na prvi pogled ženstvena i delikatna, može se podjednako koristiti i za nežne nevestinske manikire, ali i za opake rokerske nokte.

http://www.nurbesten.de/born-pretty-12565cm-rechteck-schablonen-stamping-platte-schneeflocken-l008-p-30339.html

The last Harunouta / Spring Song image plate I have to show is the one I believe is among the more popular ones. At a glance feminine and delicate, it can be used for gentle bridal manis as well as for edgy rocker nails.

Look by Bipa Glitter Lilac

Ne znam kako se desilo da od četiri odlična Look by Bipa teksturca koja mi je Suzana zimus poslala, čak tri nisam pokazala. Tu grešku ispravljam odmah sada odmah. Look by Bipa je robna marka Bipa drogerija, kojih znam da ima u Austriji, Hrvatskoj i Nizozemskoj, verovatno i drugde. Ovi peskasti lakovi dolaze u pakovanju od 7 ml, a cena im je oko € 2.

I don't know how it happened that I haven't shown you three out of four great Look by Bipa textured polishes that Suzana sent me for last winter's holidays. I am going to correct that mistake right now. Look by Bipa is Bipa store house brand. I know they have shops in Austria, Croatia and the Netherlands, probably elsewhere as well. These gritty polishes come in 7 ml bottles and retail for about € 2.
