Spotted with a bow

When I decide what manicure to do, I stick with the new, untried nail polishes. After I choose one polish the search begins: Pinterest, Google, my inspirational TO DO folder... The number of those new and untried polishes is still pretty big and I was on a good way to shrink it, but the day before yesterday I received four new beauties and I also bought three... What a torture! :) I don't buy a lot of nail polishes lately, but when I do, I go crazy. :) Today’s new and untried example is Catrice Fred Said Red so I present this polish to you and everything that comes with it. 

Kada odlučujem koju manikuru napraviti, držim se novih, neisprobanih lakova. Kad odaberem lak, onda krećem u lov po Pinterestu, Googleu i po svom ispiracijskom/TO DO folderu. Broj takvih novih i neisporbanih primjeraka je i dalje poprilično velik i bila sam na dobrom putu ka smanjenju, ali prekjučer sam dobila 4 nove divotice i još sam si kupila 3... Koje muke! :) Ne kupujem u posljednje vrijeme puno lakova za nokte, ali kada me pokosi, onda radim dar-mar. :) Današnji novi i neisprobani primjerak je Catriceov Fred Said Red pa vam predstavljam njega i pripadajući komplet.

Catrice Fred said red

Catrice Fred Said Red is a wonderful bright shade that almost screams. It applies very easily because the texture of the polish is just thin enough so you can manage it easily. The brush is perfect the way Catrice brushes usually are, although I don't buy Catrice very often. My experience with Catrice is that they aren't the easiest polishes in the world to apply. Excellent brush and plenty of beautiful shades are just not enough when there are problems with application. Some of new examples of Catrices polishes really surprised me in a good way so I'll be probably back to Catrice just like Lassie comes back home. :D The only bad thing with this polish is that it's texture is a bit jelly and although the color is very intense, you might still see the white nail line after two coats. When I applied it, I combined two thicker coats or three thinner, depending on the nail, and in the end, I got the satisfying result.

Catrice Fred Said Red je predivna, svijetla i vedra crvena nijansa, pomalo čak i vrišteća. Lako se maže jer je teksutra laka taman dovoljno rijetka da se njome može fino upravljati. Četkica mi je vrhunska kao što je i inače kod Catricea iako ih ne kupujem baš često. Moje iskustvo s Catriceom je da ti lakovi nisu baš najmaziviji na svijetu. Džabe im ekstra četkica i divne boje kada jednostavno zapinje u aplikaciji. E pa nekoliko novijih primjeraka me baš ugodno iznenadilo pa se vrlo vjerojatno vraćam Catriceu, baš kao Lassie kući. :D Mana ovog laka je ta što je jelly i iako je boja vrlo intenzivna, može se dogoditi da se nakon dva nanesena sloja i dalje vidi bijela linija nokta. Ja sam u nanošenju kombinirala 2 deblja sloja ili 3 tanja ovisno kako mi se na kojem noktu potrefilo i na kraju sam dobila zadovoljavajući rezultat.

When Fred Said Red completely dried, it was time for a dotting tool. I added small dots on all my nails with Deborah Shine Tech 15 burgundy shade which looked brown over Fred. Although that wasn't my intention, I like how it turned up. After all dots dried, it was time for some stamping. In my plate collection I found two plates with a bow (one plate is from Essence and another one is a no name from eBay) because I needed one filled and one clear bow. First I stamped the filled one with white Farmasi 33 nail polish over my ring fingers and afterwards the clear one with Essence Stamp Me! Black nail polish that was supposed to look something like a sloppy frame for a white one. That's it! When I was sure that the bows are totally dry, I carefully applied Essence BTGN fast drying TC.

Kada se Fred said red sasvim osušio, došla je točkalica na red. Na sve sam nokte dodala male točkice i to Deborah Shine Tech 15 burgundy nijansom koja je preko Freda ispala čak smeđa. Iako mi to nije bila namjera, sviđa mi se kako je ispalo. Nakon što su se i točkice osušile, došlo je vrijeme za pečatiranje. U svojoj sam zbirci našla dvije pločice koje imaju mašnicu (jedna je Essence, a jedna no name s ebay-ja) jer mi je trebala jedna 'puna' i jedna 'prazna' mašnica. Prvo sam bijelim Farmasi 33 lakom pečatirala punu mašnicu na prstenjake i potom crnim Essence Stamp Me! Black praznu mašnicu koja je trebala biti kao neki neuredan okvir bijeloj. To je to! Kada su sam bila sigurna da su i mašnice totalno suhe, oprezno sam prelakirala nokte Essence BTGN brzosušećim TCom.

I'm really satisfied with this manicure. It seems a bit cheerful and playful and something like that I really haven't had on my nails. What do you say? Do you like to wear this kind of manicures?

The other day someone posted a photograph of an article from a women's magazine on Facebook which recommend what should a woman wear on her nails depended by her age. I find that kind of recommendations nonsense, but I dare you! How old should a woman be to wear this manicure I did today and to be decent at the same time?

:* till next post!

Jako sam zadovoljna ovom manikurom. Djeluje mi nekako veselo i razigrano, a i nešto takvog tipa stvarno nisam do sada imala na noktima. Što vi kažete? Volite li nositi ovakve manikure?

Neki dan je netko na facebooku objavio fotku članka iz neke ženske revije u kojem se preporučuje što žene u kojoj životnoj dobi trebaju nositi na noktima. Naravno da je to meni totalna glupost, ali evo - izazivam vas! S koliko vam je godina primjereno nositi ovakvu manikuru kakvu sam ja danas napravila?

:* do sljedećeg posta!
