Tryin' to be cool

The manicure I'm showing you today is a real piece of work. It didn't spare me and it was a problem doing it. The stars just didn't align. Watching it like this, I know it was worth it…but still, I wanted to get out of my skin. :)

I saw this idea online too, I just changed the colors. However I had to think of a way to make this in as little amount of time as possible because drying first, then second and finally third coat really didn’t have much sense. Regretfully, I didn’t have that much time so I made my famous stickers the day before. Actually I just applied some black creamy and some gold sandy polish on the foil and when it was time for my manicure, I took off dried polish of the foil and cut it in lines.

Manikura koju vam predstavljam danas je baš prava mustra. Nije me štedjela i baš je bilo problematično napraviti ju. Jednostavno mi se zvijezde nisu posložile. Dok je ovako gledam, znam da se trud isplatio, ali svejedno... Htjela sam iz kože iskočiti. :)

I ovu sam ideju vidjela negdje online samo sam promijenila boje, ali trebalo je smisliti kako da ovo napravim u što kraćem roku jer sušenje jednog sloja, pa drugog i naposljetku trećeg stvarno nema smisla. Toliko vremena nažalost nisam imala te sam dan ranije napravila one moje famozne stickere. Zapravo sam samo na foliju nalakirala mrlje crnog creme laka i zlatnog sandića i onda kada je manikiranje došlo na red, skinula sam mrlje s folije i izrezala štrafte.

Ciate - Purple sherbet

Hi all!

I have a great friend who bought me this delicious shade. Why do I use word delicious? I have at least two reasons that I can remember:
1st: it's so beautiful that I would eat it :D and
2nd: it's pastel colored as an ice cream, mmm

Pozdrav svima,

Imam divnu prijateljicu koja mi je kupila ovu slasnu nijansu. Zašto koristim riječ slasno? Pa iz najmanje 2 razloga:
1. toliko je prekrasna da bih ju jednostavno mogla pojesti :D
2. pastelne je boje pa podsjeća na sladoled mmm

 

Ruffian manikura

Something simple today... No stamping, no stickers, no troublesome manicures, just good old ruffian. I like this nail art technique a lot because it’s simple and minimalistic, with clean lines, and even if you messed up the color combo, the minimalism and the shipshape thing should get you out of the woods. What I’ve envisioned this time was something cheerful, lively colored in mint-turquoise and purple. Of course I’ve got distracted and led astray to purple but not nearly as fun and vibrant.

Danas nešto jednostavno... Nikakvo pečatiranje, pravljenje stickera, kao ni ine muke po manikiranju, nego samo dobar stari ruffian. Ovu tehniku nail arta jako volim jer je jednostavna i minimalistička, čistih linija i čak i da zeznete kombinaciju boja, taj minimalizam i cakum-pakum đir bi vas mogao izvući. Ono što sam si ja ovog puta zamislila je nešto veselo, živih boja i to kombinaciju neke mint-tirkizne i ljubičaste nijanse. Naravno da se našlo nešto što me totalno odvelo s puta i ostala sam pri ljubičastoj, ali nimalo veseloj i živoj.

Improvizirana holo manikura

Hello, my ladies, (and guys if there's one to be found among you :D)! I'd like to start with an apology for being absent for so long. The thing is, I've been reckless and spent all my available gigabytes of internet traffic in the middle of the month. I've been uploading wedding pictures for developing for my family to DM's application. How silly of me. I checked the news on work or mobile network, but writing posts that way was truly inconvenient. There, fingers crossed for it not to happen again.

I found myself thinking which manicure to show to you because I’ve fallen far behind and I’ve got many cute ones, so I’ve decided for today’s. Simple! Today made, today shown! :) Lately I acquired a lot of stamping plates, because for how much the technique annoyed me, it attracts me. The fact that I’m not good at it hasn’t really diverted me from buying, but now, while I’m unsuccessfully trying to transfer one pattern about 10 times, honestly, I snarl at everything around me. Still, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t find some kind of solution. :D

I wanted to do some holo and gray combo, but since I don’t have that shade, I had to improvise. In the end I’m quite content with the results so I’m sharing my creation with you.

Lijep pozdrav, dame moje, (i pokoji frajer ako se nađe :D)! Na samom početku isprike što me tako dugo nije bilo! Naime, bila sam dovoljno smotana da već sredinom prethodnog mjeseca potrošim sve raspoložive gige interneta stavljajući fotke sa svadbe za izraditi familiji u dm-ov program. Tudum! Da bih provjerila aktualnosti, spojila bih se na poslu ili bih koristila mobitel, ali pisati postove mi je bilo izrazito nezgodno. Evo, ne ponovilo se! :D

Nekako sam razmišljala što bih vam od manikura pokazala jer sam u velikom zaostatku, a imam dosta toga što mi je vrlo simpa pa je odluka pala na današnju. Jednostavno! Danas napravljeno, danas pokazano! :) U posljednje sam si vrijeme nabavila dosta pločica za pečatiranje jer koliko god me ta tehnika nervira, istovremeno me vuče. Činjenica da mi pečatiranje nikako ne ide od ruke, nije me puno odvraćala od kupovine, ali evo sada dok jedan te isti uzorak bezuspješno prenašam po 10ak puta, iskreno, lajem na sve u okolini. Međutim, ne bih ja bila ja da nisam iznašla neko rješenje. :D

Isto tako me jako vuklo napraviti nešto u holo sivoj kombinaciji, ali obzirom da nemam takvu nijansu, morala sam improvizirati. Na kraju sam prilično zadovoljna napravljenim pa evo da podijelim svoju kreaciju s vama.

China Glaze - Blue Sparrow

Hi dears!

How are you spending the weekend? I'm quite busy on weekends too, but I often find time to do my manicure as a therapy after a stressful day and week.
I know it's not summer any more, but lately I love vibrant summer colors on my nails and this polish is no exception.

Pozdrav dragi moji!

Kako vi provodite ovaj vikend? Ja sam zauzeta i vikendom, no često nađem vremena za manikuru jer mi je to terapija nakon stresnog dana i tjedna.
Znam i da nije ljeto već dosta dugo, no u zadnje vrijeme obožavam nositi žive ljetne boje na noktima a ovaj lak nije iznimka.
