Predeo oslikan mastilom

Možda ste primetili da za Japanizam, ChibiCon i druge manifestacije koje organizuje Sakurabana volim da i nokte ukrasim na prigodan način. Kako nisam u prilici da nabavim neke autentične japanske dekoracije nadam se da ove kineske sasvim lepo predstavljaju neke zajedničke elemente dalekoistočnjačke umetnosti. Za poslednji ChibiCon sam nosila N.Nail vodene dekale koji prikazuju pejzaž slikan mastilom.

You may have noticed that I like to decorate my nails in appropriate manner for ChibiCon, Japanizam and other events organised by Sakurabana. Since I am unable to come by some authentic Japanese decorations I hope that these Chinese motifs represent some common elements of eastern art. I have worn these N.Nail water decals that represent ink painting for the last ChibiCons.

Matching Manicures - životinje

Nisam mogla da se priključim drugaricama blogerkama u usklađenom manikiru sada u nedelju, ali sada nadoknađujem propušteno. Ne znam da li ste primetili, ali lakoholičarke su veliki mačkoljubi, a ja nisam izuzetak. Zato sam za ovaj usklađeni manikir, koji za temu ima životinje, odabrala da upotrebim vodene dekale sa motivima mačaka. U pitanju su Alfa Design dekali koji se mogu nabaviti u Depil Medic Shopu i Nail Lineu. U pakovanju je 28 sličica mačaka u dve boje, raznih veličina i u različitim pozama. Na žalost ove se slike ne vide na jačoj podlozi već ih treba stavljati na svetlu, neutralnu pozadinu. Ne kao ja na Essie E! Live From The Red Carpet.

I was unable to join in and match my manicure with my fellow bloggers this Sunday, but now I'm making up for what I've missed. I don't know if you've noticed, but polishaholics are great cat lovers and I am no exception. That is why I chose to use these cat water decals for this week's theme, which is animals. These are Alfa Design decals that I bought nearly two years ago. One sheet holds 28 images of cats in two colours, diverse positions and different sizes. Unfortunately these images don't show nicely over bold base and should be placed on paler, neutral background instead of Essie E! Live From The Red Carpet, which is what I chose.

N.Nail vodene nalepnice

http://www.kkcenterhk.com/m86/N.NAIL/p10055/N.NAIL-Triangle-Round-Hexagon-Repeat-Pattern-DIY-Nail-Decals/product_info.html

Nadala sam se da ću ove dekale stići da predstavim znatno ranije no trebalo mi je dosta vremena da smislim kako da ih upotrebim. Za razliku od većine drugih dekala koje sam isprobala ovi nisu namenjeni za pun manikir jer ih ima dovoljno samo za detalje. Na tabaku se dobija pet trakastih dekala različitih geometrijskih dezena. Ove trake se moraju iseći da se uklope u manikir i oblik nokta.

I was hoping to show you these decals much sooner, but it took me some time to think of the ways to fit them into manis. Unlike other water decals I have tried so far, these aren't meant to be used as a full mani as there is only enough of each motif for accents. There are five rows of different geometrical water decals. These have to be cut to fit your nails and mani.

Trešnjin cvet za Japanizam

Juče je počeo sedmi Japanizam i mislim da je bilo prirodno da napravim prigodan manikir. Ovom prilikom mi to nije bilo teško jer imam ove sjajne dekale sa motivom trešnjinog drveta u cvatu.

The seventh Japanizam convention opened yesterday so it was only natural for me to do a coordinating manicure. This time it was easy for me to it do because I have these great cherry tree in bloom water decals.

Kašmirska šara

Poslednji set dekala koji za sada imam da vam predstavim je zanimljiv set sa kašmirskom šarom, jednim od mojih omiljenih motiva. Ovi dekali postoje u nekoliko boja, a ja predstavljam crno-belu kombinaciju. Na jednom tabaku, koji je pozamašan, nalazi se, kako na prvi pogled izgleda, 2 x 8 ograđenih slika za ceo nokat i u prostoru između njih 2 x 6 nezavisnih šara. Istina je malo drugačija jer je svaka pojedinačna sličica u okviru "ramova" nezavisna te zapravo na jednom tabaku postoje 42 crne i 42 bele slike.

The last set of decals I have to show you for now is an interesting paisley water decals set. You can choose from several colour combinations and I have a black and white to show you today. At first glance it seems that one sheet, which is quite large, holds 2 x 8 outlined full nail images and 2 x 6 standalone designs. In fact every single image in the border is standalone as well so one sheet actually holds 42 black and 42 white decals.

Lažno mramoriranje

N.NAIL Water Decals Nail Art- WDBLE879

Jeste li probali nekada ebru/mramoriranje lakovima? Ja nisam. Plašim se nereda i da mi se lakovi neće razliti u vodi kako valja. Zato su mi se svideli ovi vodeni dekali jer stvaraju iluziju da je manikir rađen tehnikom mramoriranja, a bez nerviranja i nereda. Na jednom tabaku su četiri od po pet sličica različite veličine i oblika. Zamerka koju imam je nedostatak ikakvog uputstva za upotrebu. Veoma sam zahvalna AnyRainbow koja je napravila uputstvo u slikama i time mi uštedela dosta vremena.

Have you ever tried ebru with polishes/water marble technique? I haven't. I always worry polish wouldn't spread in water or that the mess will be too big. That is why I liked these water decals since they creat the illusion of water marbled manicure without mess and worry. One sheet holds four rows five water decals of different shape and size. My objection is that there are no instructions. I'm grateful for AnyRainbow's photo tutorial that saved me time.

N.NAIL Peach Blossom Water Decals

Jedan deo mojih priprema za ChibiCon koji se održava ovog vikenda predstavlja i manikir. U nedostatku trešnjinog cveta odlučila sam da nokte ukrasim breskvinim cvetom, tj. dekalima sa ovim motivom koje sam dobila od KKCenterHk. Ovi dekali nisu nalepnice, nisu samolepljivi. Na jednom tabaku su četiri suprotno orijentisana reda od po pet sličica rascvale grane različite veličine i oblika. Zamerka koju imam je nedostatak ikakvog uputstva za upotrebu. Veoma sam zahvalna AnyRainbow koja je napravila uputstvo u slikama i time mi uštedela dosta vremena.

One part om my preparations for ChibiCon that is being held this weekend is manicure. Not having cherry blossom stickers I resorted to peach blossom decals I  got for review from KKCenterHk. These aren't sticky, have no adhesive. There are four rows of five different images of branches in bloom facing opposite directions on one sheet. My objection is that there are no instructions. I'm grateful for AnyRainbow's photo tutorial that saved me time.

N.NAIL Black Cat Water Decals

Danas vam predstavljam dekale u obliku stilizovanih ar nuvo mačaka koje sam dobila za recenziju od KKCenterHk. Ovi dekali nisu nalepnice, nisu samolepljivi. Na jednom tabaku je pet suprotno orijentisanih redova od po pet sličica mačaka u različitim položajima, zlatne boje. Zamerka koju imam je nedostatak ikakvog uputstva za upotrebu. Veoma sam zahvalna AnyRainbow koja je napravila uputstvo u slikama i time mi uštedela dosta vremena.

I'm presenting you Art Nouveau-ish cat water decals I got for review from KKCenterHk. These aren't sticky, have no adhesive. There are five rows of five different images of gold-coloured cats facing opposite directions on one sheet. My objection is that there are no instructions. I'm grateful for AnyRainbow's photo tutorial that saved me time.

N.NAIL Spiderweb Nail Decals

Danas vam predstavljam dekale u obliku paučine koje sam dobila za recenziju od KKCenterHk. Ovi dekali nisu nalepnice, nisu samolepljivi. Na jednom tabaku je dvadeset sličica paučine i paukova različitih veličina, oblika i orijentacije, što je veoma zgodno za asimetrične manikire, a omogućava da se nađe prigodna veličina i za palac i za mali prst. Zamerka koju imam je nedostatak ikakvog uputstva za upotrebu. Nikada ranije nisam koristila ovakvu vrstu ukrasa i imala sam samo nejasnu predstavu kako se upotrebljavaju. Veoma sam zahvalna AnyRainbow koja je napravila uputstvo u slikama i time mi uštedela dosta vremena.

I'm presenting you spiderweb water decals I got for review from KKCenterHk. These aren't sticky, have no adhesive. There are twenty images of spiders and cobwebs of different shapes, sizes and orientation on one sheet, which is great for asymmetrical manis and it means you can find a perfect fit for your thumb as well as for your pinkie. My objection is that there are no instructions. I've never used this sort of decoration and had only a vague idea how it should be applied. I'm grateful for AnyRainbow's photo tutorial that saved me time.
