Matching Manicures - Inspired by Artwork

Svaki put kada radimo tematski manikir težimo tome da napravimo malo umetničko delo. Danas nam umetnička dela pružaju inspiraciju. Pošto bi mi bilo teško do nemoguće da izvedem nešto u stilu omiljenih mi starih majstora, okrenula sam se jedom od podjednako dragih, ali nešto savremenijih slikara - Vasiliju Kandinskom.

Every time we do a matching manicure we strive to create a piece of true artwork, but today it is existing artwork that we turn to for inspiration. Since it would be hard to impossible for me to do something in line of my favourite old masters, I have turned to one of my equally favourite, but a bit more modern painters - Wassily Kandinsky.

Ya Qin An Stamping Polish - Red & Gold

Pošto mi je prethodno iskustvo sa Ya Qin An pečatnim lakovima bilo izvrsno, nije mi bilo teško da se odlučim da uzmem još par ovih lakova na testiranje. Uz očekivan kvalitet, dodatan motiv da se odlučim baš za njih mi je bila i količina koja se dobije - Ya Qin An lakovi su spakovani u bočice koje sadrže čak 18 ml. Puna cena im je $8,43, ali su trenutno na sniženju i koštaju $4,59 i vrede svake pare.

Since my previous experience with Ya Qin An stamping polishes was excellent, I easily opted for two more of those to test and review. Along with expected quality, I had an additional motive to choose them - their size. Ya Qin An stamping polishes come in large 18 ml bottles. They retail for $8.43, but currently they are on sale and cost $4.59 and are worth every penny.

CND Vinylux Bicycle Yellow

Videli ste u mesečnom pregledu da sam uzela pet novih Vinylux lakova, a čak dva od njih su žuta. Vinylux su prvi hibridni lakovi u svetu, a i kod nas, i njihov sistem se sastoji iz stotinak boja lakova i brzosušećeg nadlaka. Kod nas su dostupni u Unitechu, i u prodavnicama i preko sajta, a cena im je 1117 dinara za 15 ml proizvoda.

You could see in the monthly overview that I have gotten five new Vinylux polishes, and two of those are yellow. Vinylux is the original hybrid nail polish and the system consists of over a hundred colours and top coat.

Alessandro Heavy Metal Knockin On Heaven's Door

Kao što sam u jednom od prethodnih članaka spomenula, potrudiću se da u istoj meri predstavljam aktuelne lakove i one koji nisu više dostupni ili koji mi dugo stoje neisprobani. Do sada je najstariji neisprobani lak u mojoj kolekciji bio Alessandro Heavy Metal Knockin On Heaven's Door. Samo su mi dve godine i koji mesec bile potrebne da prođem kroz sva četiri Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal laka. Neki od njih su i dalje dostupni kod uvoznika, ali nisam sigurna da li je i ova nijansa među njima.

As I have mentioned in one of previous articles, I shall try to show you current polishes and those that are no longer available / that have been untried for a long time in equal measure. Up until now, the polish that had been among my untrieds the longest is Alessandro Heavy Metal Knockin On Heaven's Door. It had only taken me two years and some months to go through all four Alessandro Go Magic Heavy Metal polishes. This was a limited edition collection and I am unsure if it can still be found somewhere.

Matching Manicures - Inspired by a Pattern

I za ovu temu se držim Dalekog istoka. Inspiraciju ove nedelje tražimo u manje ili više poznatim dezenima, šarama, uzorcima. Lomila sam se između (neo)baroknih motiva i tradicionalne plavo-bele keramike, ali keramika je prevagnula.

I am keeping to Far East for this week's theme as well. We are looking for our inspiration in patterns and I was torn between (neo)baroque designs and motifs from traditional blue-white china. China had won.
