MoYou Nails 23

Essence stampy polish preko Don Juan OC231

Znate li šta je sreća u nesreći kada vam hronično pucaju nokti? To što možete da isprobavate motive za pečatiranje koji su mali za vašu uobičajenu dužinu noktiju. MoYou Nails N23 je pločica sa četiri motiva za ceo nokat koji nisu onako veliki kao na drugim MoYou Nails pločicama koje sam do sada prikazala i sa jednim manjim motivom. Dimenzije slika za pun nokat su 16x12 mm, što je ista veličina kao i Konad punih motiva. Izbor slika je takav da se manje-više mogu uspešno nadograđivati i za duže/šire nokte.

Do you know what is a silver lining to chronic nail breaking? The fact that you can try out stamping images that are too small for your regular nail length. MoYou Nails N23 is a stamping plate with four full nail motifs that are smaller than on the other image plates I reviewed and with one smaller image. Full nail images are 16x12 mm, which is the same size as Konad full nail images. The choice of images is such that you can successfully build them up for longer/wider nails.

OPI Alcatraz... Rocks

Teksturisani lakovi su za mene bili najprijatnije iznenađenje prošle godine i drago mi je što groznica za njima ne jenjava i što je ponuda prilično velika čak i kod nas. OPI Alcatraz... Rocks (NL F67) iz San Francisco kolekcije na žalost spada u ograničeni, ekskluzivni deo kolekcije i izgleda da je rasprodat kod nas. Zvučaće smešno ako kažem da sam ga uzela kao zamenu za daleko jeftiniji, ali nama nedostupan p2 Confidential. Ovo je i moj prvi i za sada jedini OPI Liquid Sand lak. Ovi lakovi, poput klasičnih OPI lakova, imaju široku četkicu, 15 ml i koštaju koliko i obični OPI lakovi.

Textured polishes were the most pleasant surprise of the last year and I'm very happy the hype for them isn't passing which makes the range of available textured polishes is quite wide, even here. OPI Alcatraz... Rocks (NL F67) from San Francisco collection for Fall 2013. is unfortunately a limited edition polish and it seems it has been sold out in Serbia. It may sound funny, but I only bought it as a dupe for far cheaper, but just as unobtainable p2 Confidential. For now this is my only OPI Liquid Sand polish. These polishes come in 15 ml bottles, have flat brush and cost just as much as the regular OPI polishes.

Prošlog proleća sam na blogu Lindsey Rivait osvojila poklon vaučer za Born Pretty Store i mada mi je nagrada stigla još u aprilu nikako se nisam mogla naterati da je isprobam. Isključivo zbog veličine stvari koje sam odabrala. Motivi na pločici za pečatiranje su premali za moje nokte, a ove nitne su veoma dugačke i nezgodne za nošenje. Trenutno sedim bolesna kod kuće pa sam odlučila da makar nitne testiram, da vidim kako bi mi stajale i mogu li uopšte stajati na noktima, a da ne otpadnu tokom obavljanja svakodnevnih poslova koji ne zahtevaju presvlačenje ili navlačenje rukavica. Nitne koje sam odabrala su šiljci od belog metala, kojih u pakovanju ima oko 100 komada. Prečnik osnove je 4 mm, a visina šiljaka 6 mm. Osnova je malo udubljena, tako da je potrebno staviti malo više lepka ili laka da se nitne dobro pričvrste za nokat. Ja sam ih pričvrstila izdašnom količinom bezbojnog laka i pustila sam ih da se pošteno osuše. Ređala sam po tri nitne po noktu i konačni izgled me podseća na neke učesnike performansa Postapocalyptic De/Com/Posing, Visions of New Hysteria dizajnerke Marije Margoth. Takođe me podseća i na dinosauruse iz Zemlje pre nastanka vremena i iz segmenta Posvećenje proleća iz Fantazije. Iznenađena sam kako se ovi šiljci zapravo prilično dobro drže. Nisam imala nikakvih problema sve dok nisam slučajno rukom udarila u zid i jedna nitna se odvalila. Ovaj manikir ne verujem da se može nositi duže od jednog dana i ako se odlučite za ovaj izgled za odlazak na svirku ili žurku pazite kako mašete rukama kako ne biste pokvarili manikir ili povredili sebe ili nekog drugog.

Last spring I won a gift card for Born Pretty Store at Lindsey Rivait's giveaway. Even though I received the prize last April, I couldn't make myself to try the items only because of the size of the items I picked. Designs on stamping plate are too small for my nails and these studs are very long and difficult to wear. I am sitting home, sick, and I thought I could at least try studs to see how they look and if they can be worn without falling off in the course of day that doesn't require change of clothes and wearing gloves. The studs I picked are white metal conical spikes that come in package of 100 pieces. The base is 4 mm in diameter and the spikes are 6 mm high. The base is concave so you should use more glue or nail polish to attach them on the nail. I used generous amount of nail polish to attach them and I let them dry for quite a long time. I placed three studs per nail and the finished look reminds me of some of Maria Margoth's Postapocalyptic De/Com/Posing, Visions of New Hysteria performers. It also reminds me of dinosaurs from The Land Before Time and Rite of Spring segment from Fantasia. I was pleasantly surprised how well these spikes held. I had no trouble with them until I accidentally hit the wall with my hand and one stud fell off. This is one night only manicure and if you decide to wear it for a gig or a party do take care not to ruin your mani or hurt yourself or someone else.

Planirala sam da ove godine budem dobra i da ne kupujem previše lakova. To je sve palo u vodu već kada su na sniženje stavljeni Essence proizvodi koji se povlače iz ponude. Svaki po 139 dinara. I Bourjois je bio na sniženju. Njihovi mini lakići povodom 150 godina postojanja kompanije su mi bili preskupi, ali sada nisam mogla da odolim slatkim bočicama. Ne znam šta se dešava sa Flormarom sem da u Kristabell ponovo stižu dopune ove kozmetike po starim cenama. Da, od omraženog mi uvoznika (to sam prekasno primetila). Ne znam da li su u njihovim radnjama cene snižene. Još sam jedno sniženje iskoristila. Sephora je dala popust na neke OPI i Nails inc. lakove. Nisam našla My Vampire is Buff po povoljnoj ceni, ali jesam I Saw... U Saw... We Saw... Warsaw. Jedina dva laka koja sam platila po punoj ceni su China Glaze Merry Berry i Depend Chameleon 2086 Green With Envy.

I had planned to be a good girl and not to buy too much polish. That decision went down the drain when discontinued Essence products have been put on sale. Each for 1 €. Bourjois was on sale as well. Their mini polishes that were released to celebrate the company's 150th birthday were too expensive, but now I couldn't resist these cute bottles. Flormar is available yet again at old prices in my favourite store so I took a couple of those as well. Sephora put some OPI and Nails inc. polishes on sale too. I didn't find My Vampire is Buff, but I did find I Saw... U Saw... We Saw... Warsaw. The only two polishes I paid full price for are China Glaze Merry Berry and Depend Chameleon 2086 Green With Envy.
