Essence Jacob's Protection

Davno beše Essence The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn II trend kolekcija aktuelna. Posle fijaska sa Alice Had a Vision - Again nisam htela ni da uzmem u razmatranje druge lakove iz ove kolekcije i naravno da mi vrag nije dao mira kada su povučeni te sam poželela i Jacob's Protection. Nisam uspela da ga nađem, ali jedna dobra duša je mislila na mene i uspela je da mi ga nađe. A onda sam opet čekala više od godinu dana da ga probam.

It was a long time ago that Essence The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn II trend edition was in stores. After Alice Had a Vision - Again fiasco I didn't want to even think about other polishes from this collection, but when it was withdrawn from stores I couldn't keep still and had to look for Jacob's Protection. I didn't manage to find it, but a kind friend did think of me and she got one bottle for me. And then it took me over a year to try it.

Matching Manicures - inspirisano serijom

Pošto sam ovih nedelja u frenetičnim pripremama za Japanizam (3-6. jula u Domu omladine) nisam imala vremena da spremim neki kompleksniji i prepoznatljiviji manikir inspirisan serijom, ali potrudila sam se da makar učestvujem u ovonedeljnom usklađenom manikiru. Prošle godine je završena jedna od mojih omiljenih serija - Poaro. Ako se sećate stare špice možda ćete prepoznati motiv na mom domalom prstu. U pitanju je jedna od slika pored kojih Poaro prolazi, kao i motiv iz kog se pojavljuje Poaroov lik. Više o samoj uvodnoj špici možete pročitati ovde - http://investigatingpoirot.blogspot.com/2013/06/title-design-pat-gavins-title-sequence.html. Na svim noktima imam Morgan Taylor Better in Leather. Za nail art sam koristila L'Oreal Jet-Set 115 preko Flormar True Color 027.

I've been in frantic preparations for Japanizam (3-6. July in Belgrade) these past few weeks and I didn't have time to prepare a more complex or more recognisable series-inspired manicure for this weeks Matching Manicures, but I did try to take part in it. Poirot - one of my favourite series came to end last year. If you remember the old opening sequence you may recognise the motif on my ring finger. It is one of the paintings Poirot passes by and also a motif that Poirots face comes out of. You can read more about this opening scene here - http://investigatingpoirot.blogspot.com/2013/06/title-design-pat-gavins-title-sequence.html. I have Morgan Taylor Better in Leather on all nails. I have used L'Oreal Jet-Set 115 over Flormar True Color 027 for nail art.

Catrice Chameleon C06 Chromit & Miss Pinky

Zaređah lakove koji su bili po mom ukusu, pa treći Catrice koji sam dobila od Marije nikako da dođe na red. Chromit & Miss Pinky je još jedan od Luxury Lacquers Chameleon lakova i poslednji od ovih lakova koji je van moje zone komfora. Mislim da je veoma zanimljivo probati lakove kakve ne bih sama odabrala jer drugačije ne bih mogla da promenim ili utvrdim svoje stavove o njima.

I have lined up polishes that were up to my taste and there was no place for the third Catrice I have received from Maria. Chromit & Miss Pinky is another Luxury Lacquers Chameleon polishes and the last one of those that is out of my comfort zone. I think it is very interesting to try polishes I wouldn't otherwise pick for myself because that is the only way to either change or settle my thoughts on them.

Francuski manikir

Ako čitate Elle možda ste u majskom broju prepoznale imena i linkove moje malenkosti i Jelene. Jeca je pisala o crvenom laku za nokte, a ja o francuskom manikiru. Moj tekstić koji je objavljen je prilično neutralan i prilagođen širokoj publici Ela, a ovde sa vama delim tekst koji bih volela da je mogao biti objavljen.

Jelena and yours truly had the pleasure to write an article for Serbian Elle magazine. We wrote about classic manicures - red polish and French manicure respectively. My text had to be adjusted for readers of Elle magazine, and now I want to share with you the text I wish could have been published.

OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby

>
OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby je drugi "saten" iz praznične kolekcije koju je OPI izbacio u saradnji sa Gven Stefani. Love.Angel.Music.Baby je ime prvog Gveninog solo albuma, a skraćenica L.A.M.B. je ime Gvenine modne linije. Bilo je prirodno da se i jedan od lakova u ovoj kolekciji zove tako i ime je dopalo, po mom mišljenju, najlepšem laku iz kolekcije. Verovatno je sasvim kontraintuitivno, ali među svim tamnim, crnim i crvenim lakovima, meni se najviše svideo zlatni lak. Ovi lakovi, poput klasičnih OPI lakova, imaju široku četkicu, 15 ml i koštaju koliko i obični OPI lakovi. Hvala OPI Srbija na prilici da probam i ovaj lak.

OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby is the other "satin" polish from last year's holidays collection OPI did with Gwen Stefani. Love.Angel.Music.Baby is the name of her debut solo album and acronym L.A.M.B. is the name of her fashion line. It was natural that one of the polishes from this collection gets that name and it went to, imho, the most beautiful polish in the collection. It is counterintuitive, but from all the dark, red and black polishes, I liked a gold one best. Like regular OPI polishes, these come in 15 ml bottles, have flat brush and cost just as much as the regular OPI polishes. My thanks go to OPI Srbija for giving me a chance to try this one as well.
