ILNP - Diablo

(post in Croatian)
Pozdrav!

ILNP je tijekom blagdana imao akciju koju sam iskoristila, naručivši po prijatelju koji povremeno putuje na relaciju SAD - HR. Tom prigodom sam "ubola" čak 7 komada, čime moja ILNP kolekcija broji 12 probranih lakova.

Ukoliko vam brand nije poznat, radi se o brandu dugog naziva I Love Nail Polish (ja volim lakove za nokte), lociranom u SAD-u. Lakovi su kvalitetni i nesvakidašnji, te im je i cijena zbog toga viša. Primjerice, jako puno njihovih lakova je holografsko, a prah u laku koji postiže taj efekt je jako skup ukoliko se radi o kvalitetnijoj varijanti. Tako da u ovom slučaju kvaliteta zaista i opravdava cijenu.

Astor - Just fabulous

Greetings!

Days here are getting colder day by day and the smell of autumn is in the air. I can’t say that I’m happy about it, though I was tired of heat, or at least I thought I was… And now I want the summer back. But here is an autumn polish to go with the weather.

Pozdrav!

Ovdje su dani svakim danom sve hladniji i jesen već miriše u zraku. Ne mogu reći da sam sretna zbog toga, iako mi je dojadila vrućina, ili sam bar tako mislila... A sad opet bih ljeto natrag. No evo jesenskog laka da poprati ovo vrijeme.

Orly - Ever Burgundy

Pozdrav,

To all our readers - this post will be in Croatian only!

Hej, lakomanke! Kako funkcionirate s ovim ljetnim vrućinama? Borite li se s mjehurićima u laku? Moram priznati da mi ovo ljeto čak koliko-toliko i paše. Po prvi put da je ljeto malo podbacilo... Inače uvijek podbaci zima koju jedva dočekam. Snijeg i hladnoća se zadrže jedva 2 tjedna, a ostatak temperature budu daleko u plusu. Ovo ljeto smatram svojevrsnim izravnavnjem računa. :) Mora se uspostaviti ravnoteža i točka! :) Inače što se tiče mjehurića... Taman sam neki dan htjela otkriti Ameriku jer sam navodo dokučila što meni osobno pomaže u izbjegavanju mjehurića i opet se pojave pa mi teorija baš i ne drži vodu. No svejedno ja to podijelim s vama pa vi kako hoćete. :) Dok sam primijetila da se cure bore s njima iako nije tako silno vruće kao što zna biti, ja duže vrijeme nisam imala nekih problema. Otkako smo preselili lakovi mi stoje u stolu ladičaru koji je ispred ogromnog prozora u sobi. Prozor je svaku noć širom otvoren da dođe malo zraka i to poprilično prohladnog zraka jer ipak se noću temperatura spuštala ispod 18 stupnjeva. Tako prema nekoj logici dok je lak hladan, mjehurići bi trebali izostati pa da ne znam koliko lakirala na +30. Da bih potvrdila teoriju, kada opet dođu vrućine, probat ću staviti lakić u hladnjak 15ak minuta prije lakiranja. Baš me zanima kakav će ishod biti.

Essie - Rock star skinny

Yes, I'm crazy about vamp colored polishes! That's why I probably have so many. And this is another prove for that. Essie - Rock star skinny is beautiful dark red, vamp color that will lift up any outfit. It's a deep, chocolate cherry burgundy red. It's dark, but not so dark you can't still see that it's a deep, deep red.
Also, if you care for time of year when choosing your nail polish, this one is perfect for autumn, but also good for winter.
To bad it is part of Essie LE shades, it will be HTF soon, if not already... 

Oh da, ja sam luda za vamp lakovima za nokte! Zato ih vjerojatno i imam toliko. A ovo je još jedan dokaz. Essie - Rock star skinny je krasna tamno crvena vamp boja koja će podići svaku odjevnu kombinaciju. Boja je duboka kombinacija vruće čokolade, višanja i finog burgundca. Meni pri ovom opisu već rastu zazubice, a vama? :) Iako je tamna, još uvijek je dovoljno "nježno" tamna da možete doživjeti dubinu te crvene u potpunosti.
Ako pratite godišnja doba za kombinaciju manikura, ovaj lak će se odlično uklopiti u jesenje kombinacije, a dobar je i sa zimskima.
Šteta što je dio ograničene serije (LE) Essija, tako da će uskoro doći na listu onih koji se teško pronalaze...

Essie - Berry hard

Hi! Today I will present you my favorite vamp(y) colored polish - Essie Berry hard.This is deep vine color with high gloss finish. It's a deep, true berry, like a plump, ripe berry just waiting to burst! With this polish your nails will look very sexy and sophisticated.

Pozdrav! Danas vam predstavljam svoj najdraži vamp lak - Essie Berry hard. Lak je boje vina s vrlo visokim sjajem. Boja je duboka, boja zrele bobice koja samo čeka da prsne! Sa ovim lakom svačiji nokti izgledaju elegantnije, čak i sexy.

Anny - Bloody red news

How are you spending this weekend? Weather here in Croatia is beautiful, some field trip might be nice. But don't forget to polish your nails nicely before you go :)

I really recommend this color - Anny - Bloody red news. It is beautiful deep vine red color that looks very elegant and classy. I've upgraded it with gold glitter Flormar 395, and it became great even as a holiday combination.

Kako provodite ovaj vikend? Ovdje je vrijeme divno, neki izlet bi odgovarao odlično. Nemojte samo zaboraviti nalakirati nokte prije nego što krenete :)

Ako nemate ideje što bih nalakirale, preporučam vam Anny - Bloody red news. Nijansa je divna i duboka, boja crvenog vina koja izgleda vrlo elegantno. Manikuru sam nadogradila sam Flormarom broj 395, tj. zlatnim šljokicama. S nadogradnjom izgleda odlično i kao blagdanska manikura.

One hell of a gradient

Today I'm showing you one super duper manicure. :) Let's face it, it's one little gradient and that's all! Simple as that! But I can't help being totally surprised how it turned up. Forgive me for that but I'm not good with gradients. They just aren't working the way I would want them to. Till now I did a dozen of gradient manicure but this is only the second that looks absolutely the way I planned.

Danas ću vam pokazati jednu super duper manikuru. :) Da se razumijemo, to je samo jedan mali gradient i to je sve! Ne može biti jednostavnije! Ali jednostavno ne mogu ne biti iznenađena kako je ispalo. Oprostite mi zbog toga, ali ja inače nisam dobra u gradientima. Jednostavno mi ne idu onako kako bih ja to htjela. Do sada sam napravila desetak gradient manikura, a ovo je tek druga koja izgleda absolutno onako kako sam planirala.

Essence - 112 Time for romance

If you need some glitter top coat that will lift up your usual nail polish, this might be it! Essence Time for romance is beautiful dark pink glitter made of hexagon and small glitter particles. Amount is really great and even with one layer it is so visible and dense.

Ako trebate neki glitter lak da podignete svoje uobičajne lakove na sasvim novu razinu, izbor bi lako mogao pasti na ovaj! Essence Time for romance je krasan tamno rozi šljokicasti top coat koji sadrži šesterokutne i male okrugle šljokice. Količina šljokica je stvarno dobra, čak i s jednim slojem jako su zamjetne i guste.

OPI Merry Midnight

Hi!

Holidays are coming, so today I have a Christmas threat for you :) OPI Merry Midnight is plum jelly with orange chunks and purple glitter. It is quite unique :)

These are two layers and Seche Vite on top.

Indoors:

Color is very Christmas-like to me :)

How do you like these kind of polishes? What polishes remind you of Christmas time of year?

Bujoris No.13.

Hello and good evening!

This is the first Bujoris nail polish I bought - Bujoris No.13. It is dark plum color with purple shimmer in it. It looks blackish when there is no light. There are two coats. The brush is very wide, so the application is fast. It is written on the polish: 1 nail -> 1 stroke -> 1 second, so the wide brush is great for fast manicure.

Let me show you some pictures. Bottle:

Nails outside:

Inside (no direct sunlight):

Color from closeup:

I think that brush is great, and the nail polish is good for application. But, I think it is too expensive, and I don't like this color very much cause it is too blackish for me. When I want black - I use black, so if I'd like something more colorful I want it to be without doubts, so not too blackish, or too whitish or to transparent :)

Greetings!

OPI royal rajah ruby

Another great OPI in this blog is OPI royal rajah ruby. It is beautiful burgundy red color with red glitter.

When I putted it on my nails, I couldn't stop looking at them! I fell in love at first sight <3 :) That was exactly the colour I was looking for.

And now I'm in search for nice golden polish :) Feel free to leave recommendations in comments, ofc :D

On this swatch I used OPI Start to Finish  as a base coat, and only one coat of OPI royal rajah ruby couse it was thick enough and not transparent at all, so I haven't had any reason to put another layer.

Here are some pictures:
- Outdoors

- Indoors:

- Close picture on nail so you can see the glitter:

 If I'd choose what colors would I wear on it so polish would come to the fore, it would be color of old gold and yellow ;)

And how did you liked it and what colors would you wear on it?

OPI Designer Series Extravagance

Moja Uskršnja manikura :-)) Ne zato što posebno podsjeća na Uskrs (više bi odgovaralo da svaki nokat polakiram drugom bojom, nacrtam zeca ili nešto slično :-)) već zato što je stigao jučer i divan je! Malo sam pretjerala s fotkama, ali ne mogu si pomoći.

Sretan Uskrs svima!!
