Nail art - Sephora piano

Hi!

Nail art on this blog follows "Long time no see". I'm bringing something simple but powerful - piano contrast in 2 Sephora shades.

Pozdrav!

Nail art na ovom blog je sada već priča iz davnih dana. Ipak, odlučila sam se danas za post o jednostavnoj, no snažnoj maknikuri inspiriranoj tipkama klavijatura.

Rimmel - Peachella

Hi!

I'm not giving up on spring, nor it's giving up on me! I went to aquapark today and enojoyed some lovely time with my family. This spring shade will make a lovely round-up of this warm & cosy day.

Pozdrav!

Ne odustajem od proljeća, a bome niti ono odustaje od mene! Danas sam se s obitelji provela u aquaparku da proslavim ovo krasno vrijeme. Plan je s proljetnim postom lijepo zaokružiti ovaj dan.

Avon - Naked Truth

Hello ladies and gentleman, if there are any gents reading this!

Since our leading blog writer and beloved boss had been quite busy last few months, I wanted to write something here for quite some time. When the cat's away, the mice will play. I hope you’ll enjoy this small and friendly takeover because I’ve got an excellent reason. It’s called Avon Naked Truth.

Pozdrav dame i gospodo, ako koji čita!

Kako je naša glavna blogerica i voljena šefica proteklih mjeseci prilično zauzeta, već dugo sam htjela ponovo nešto napisati ovdje. Kad mačke nema, miševi kolo vode. Nadam se da ćete uživati u malenom, prijateljskom preuzimanju jer imam odličan razlog za to. Zove se: Avon Naked Truth.

Rimmel - Desert Beauty

Hello,

after golden Pupa nail polish from last blog post I decided to show you a polish that's between gold and nude so it can be worn really everywhere, including work. It's Rimmel Desert Beauty.

Pozdrav,

nakon zlatnog Pupa laka iz prethodnog posta odlučila sam vam pokazati jedan lak koji ima nijansu između zlatne i nude pa ga zato možete nositi zaista svugdje, uključujući i na posao. Radi se o Rimmel Desert Beauty.

Eveline 401 in Holographic Sand

Eveline hasn't been here in Croatia for long, but I must say that looking at price and quality ratio, they are a nice surprise and I like to use all kind of their products like lipsticks, eye liners, lip glosses and so on.
Their smallest polish collection where each polish has 5mL is Eveline MiniMax. Polishes in that collection have really nice summer colors, but there are also a few holographic shades from which I will review 401 in sand color.

Eveline kao brand nije ovdje u Hrvatskoj dugo prisutan, no moram reći da mi se odmah svidio zbog dobrog omjera cijene i kvalitete. Zbog toga volim koristiti i njihove druge proizvode kao što su ruževi, tuševi za oči, sjajila i sl.
Njihova najmanja kolekcija lakova sadrži lakove od samo 5mL, a zove se Eveline MiniMax. Lakovi iz te kolekcije dijele se na kremaste koji su vedrih ljetnih boja i holografske. Recenziju jednog od njih možete pogledati u ovom postu. Radi se o Eveline Holographic 401 boje pijeska.

Avon - Modern Mauve

Hi all!

I was on a drink with my friend this Wednesday and we went to see some polish stands as I always have a need for that :)
A while ago she got a manicure with Essie Demure Vixen and shince then she wanted to find that polish. So we came to Essie stand and finally she managed to find it. When I saw it I instantly thought of this: Avon Modern Mauve is doupe for Essie Vixen! So today I'm presenting you my Avon as a nice alternative.

Pozdrav svima!

Ovu srijedu našla sam se s prijateljicom na vrućoj čokoladi pa smo usput otišle pogledati štandove s lakovima za nokte obzirom da uvijek imam potrebu za time :)
Dosta ranije prijateljica je imala manikuru s lakom o kojem već dulje vrijeme sanja - Essie Demure Vixen. Od tada je tražila taj lak i baš ovu srijedu ga je uspjela naći i pokazati mi o kojem se laku točno radi. Kad sam ga ugledala odmah sam se sjetila dupea Avon Modern Mauve koji vam i predstavljam danas kao odličnu alternativu.

Samo moj skittlette

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

Danas imam novu manikuru i vrlo sam ponosna (ne na nju, nego na sebe :D)!

Jedna iz mase

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

Nisam pojma imala kako bih ovu manikuru nazvala pa je naslov posta nastao onako što je brzopoteznije bilo moguće. :) Obzirom da inspiraciju često kupim na Pinterestu, We<3it-u i sličnim stranicama, moram priznati da me nemalo čudi to što najčešće nalijećem na manikure koliko-toliko slične ovoj kakvu vam danas želim pokazati. Imam TO DO folder u koji skupljam sve ideje koje vidim online i folder je dupkom pun - da radim sve iz foldera, lakirala bih 2x tjedno do 50og rođendana i opet bi mi dosta neodrađenih ostalo. :D Ono što vam želim reći je da u tom mom folderu baš i nema ovakvih manikura. Ima jedna, možda dvije, dok online ima cijela mašinerija varijacija na temu. Ne znam kako da nazovem cijeli taj hype, ali koliko mi god slatke takve manikure bile, osobno su mi previše komercijalizirane. Time želim reći da kad vidim takvu manikuru, vlasnicu vidim kao iskvarcanu plavušu, s brdo bronzera u šlampavoj trendi odjeći, ogromnoj blingavoj torbi s nekom cugom u papirnatoj čaši sa slamkom, stava sva sam si cool, neopterećena i predivna... Da ne nabrajam dalje, nadam se da ste shvatile o čemu govorim. :D O kombinaciji pastelnih boja s nudačima i barem jednim noktom totalno u zakovicama...

Wedding manicure

Two weeks ago I finally came on line! I got married! <3 Months earlier I carefully compiled my own list of little things that would make that day more beautiful, but also as big polishaholic I paid attention what to do with nails. There's no way I would let someone else to do my nails when I can do it properly, so I took care of that too.

Prije dva tjedna sam napokon i ja došla na red! Udala sam se! <3 Mjesecima ranije sam pomno sastavljala svoju listu sitnica koje bi taj dan mogle učiniti ljepšim, ali sam isto tako kao velika lakoholičarka pazila što učiniti s noktima. Nema teorije da bih dala da mi ih sređuje netko drugi kad to mogu sama odraditi kako spada pa sam i o tome povela računa.

Rimmel Space dust

For a long time trend of sand polishes was uninteresting to me. Everybody followed that trend, but I saw it as abstract and not so pretty, but finally I stopped resisting. Like every other polish addict I took anything that would justify the purchase of polish, in this case What everybody else is doing... I guess everybody have reasons why they are mad for sand polishes. So it started ... First I bought Essence sand polishes because they are the cheapest to see what it really is and it was love at first sight.

Dugo mi je trend hrapavaca/sandića bio totalno bezvezan. Svi su ih furali, a meni je to bilo toliko apstraktno i pomalo neugledno, ali opiranje je na kraju posustalo. Kao i svaka druga lakoholičarka vodila sam se bilo čime što bi opravdalo kupovinu lakića, u ovom slučaju onom: 'Kud' svi tu i mali Mujo...', ta valjda ti svi imaju razloga zašto su ludi za sandićima. Tako je krenulo... Prvo sam kupila Essenceove sandiće jer su najjeftiniji da vidim što je to ustvari i dogodila se ljubav na prvo mazanje.

Essie - Curtain call

Curtain call is another romantic shade from Essie. Color is medium to light nude and it has a pearl finish. Suitable for every occasion and age, but also when you want polish that will suit your different clothing combinations during few days.
With two layers, that you can see on pictures, nail line is still visible. If I had layered 3, it would be opaque.

Curtain call je još jedna romantična nijansa od Essija. Boja je srednje do svijetlo bež/boja kože te ima sedefasti finiš. Odgovara svakoj prilici i godinama, no također i ako želite lak koji će vam pristajati na razne odjevne kombinacije jer vam se recimo ne da mijenjati lak sljedećih nekoliko dana.
Sa dva sloja kako vidite na slici, još uvijek se može vidjeti bijela linija nokta. Da sam nanijela 3, lak bi bio u potpunosti neproziran.

Striped manicures

Hi girls ! :) Last few days I'm all in the pastels! I know it's December and that everybody have began with Christmas manicures, but I've never been that kind of a girl so if I'll do something related to Christmas, then it will really be before Christmas and will generally be a parade of red, glitter, a snowman, Santa Claus and Rudolph. Until that, I want to show you what I've currently had on my mind . 

Hej, ljudi! :) Zadnjih dana sam sva u pastelnom! Znam da je 12. mjesec i da su svi već lagano počeli s božićnim manikurama, no ja nikada nisam bila taj đir i ako ću napraviti nešto božićno, onda će to stvarno biti pred Božić i uglavnom će to biti parada crvene, šljokica, snješka, Djeda Mraza i obavezno Rudolfa. Dok do toga ne dođe, želim vam pokazati što mi je trenutno na pameti.

I've drastically trimmed my nails because they were too long for my taste, and then this circus manicures do not have the same charm. I've also struggled with cuticles that were total disaster. I've changed tires given that snow appeared and the old tires together with the wheels needed to be washed and prepared for spring. Of course problem was pushing hands in soapy water at a temperature of 0°C. Oh, what a nightmare! :( To make the long story short, here's the manicure.

Nokte sam drastično skresala jer su mi za moj ukus postali već predugi, a onda mi na njima ovakve cirkus manikure nemaju istu čar. Mučila sam se i s kožicom koja je totalna katastrofa. Mijenjala sam gume obzirom da nam se i snijeg ukazao pa je stare skupa s felgama trebalo oprati i spremiti za proljeće. Naravno da je u pitanju bilo guranje ruku u vodu s deterdžentom na temperaturi od oko 0 stupnjeva. Ajme, zla! :( Da ne duljim previše, evo manikura:

New untrieds

Hi, guys! These days I continue with my mission - try as many as possible of my untried nail polishes. So today I have 5 brand new polishes for you. And right from the start, today I won't choose my favorite one because I just love them all. To tell you the truth, I was a bit surprised how much beautys I have in my stash so I'm looking forward to the next episode of my mission. :)

Bok, ljudi! Ovih dana nastavljam svoju misiju - isprobati što je više moguće svojih neisprobanih lakića. Tako danas imam 5 potpuno novih lakića za vas. I odmah na početku, danas neću favorizirati niti jednoga jer ih jednostavno volim sve. Iskreno da vam kažem, bila sam malo iznenađena koliko divota imam u svojoj zbirci pa se radujem sljedećoj epizodi ove moje misije. :) 

My new babies :)

Hi girls! It has past a lot of time since I was here. First of all I had an injury of my hand (dexterity is my middle name :D) so I couldn`t polish my nails. Then exams and entries started on my university and all that took me a lot of time. But I didn´t forget to pay attention on my nail polishes. Today I want to show you 4 new babies in my collection :)
 
Bok cure! Stvarno me dugo, dugo nije bilo. Prvo sam imala neku ozljedicu ruke (inače spretnost mi je drugo ime :D) pa nisam mogla lakirati nokte. Zatim su počeli i ispiti na faksu, pa upisi i to se sve dobrano odužilo. Ali za to vrijeme nisam zaboravila na lakiće. Danas vam želim pokazati 4 nova malca u mojoj kolekciji :)

Deborah - 06 Nude crackle

Trends come and go, that is the way of fashion. Of course, nails and manicure too have it's trends that many womans like to discover and follow. Crackle polish is for veterans in polish world old trend, but I must say that many of my girl friends still doesn't know what it its. So if you are one of them, just look at the pictures and it will become cristaly clear with this nude crackle polish by Deborah. And if you are not, well, interesting looking manicure this way :)

Trendovi u modi dolaze i prolaze, a ni lakovi nisu izuzetak. Pucajući lakovi su za nas veteranke već stari trend, ali moram reći da mnoge moje prijateljice ne znaju što je to. Pa ako ste se našle u opisu, pogledajte sljedeće slike bež Deborah pucajućeg laka i postat će vam kristalno jasno o čemu se radi. A ako znate što je to, pa zanimljivih manikura nikad dosta za pogledati, zar ne? :)

Essie - Buy me a cameo

Essie is again on my repertoire. There was a sale in a farmacy, so I went and choose from many beautiful colors most of the Essie polishes that I own today. Even with only classic color selection they had, and fact that I prefer non classic colors, I was dazzled with great selection of Essie classics they've had. Colors was simply stunning.
And in that selection I've chosen Essie Buy me a cameo that I'm reviewing for you today.

I opet Essie na mom repertoaru. Evo i malo priče iza toga - zašto toliko Essie. 
U jednoj ljekarni sam naišla na popust, pa sam ušla i iz njihove velike kolekcije sam odabrala većinu Essie lakova koje danas posjedujem. Čak i sa činjenicom da su imali samo klasične boje lakova i time što ja zapravo preferiram neobičnije boje, bila sam zapanjena izborom klasika koje su imali. Boje su bile prekrasne. 
U toj selekciji sam odabrala i Essie Buy me a cameo koji vam predstavljam danas.

Stripes - take one

Hi all!
So, I've been seeing stripe manis all over the internet for a while now, loved them, and thought it was time to try to do something myself. I'm not over the moon with the outcome, but we can say this mani was just the 'test drive' and hope it will get better with practice. :)
Anyway, here it is.

Pozdrav!
Već neko vrijeme po netu viđam manikure s trakicama, stvarno mi se dopadaju, pa sam si naručila trakice s Ebaya i odlučila se malo igrati s njima. Moram priznati da nisam oduševljena prvim pokušajem, ali prvi se mačići u vodu bacaju (lol), pa se nadam da će svaka slijedeća manikura biti urednija i ljepša.
U svakom slučaju, povirite i procijenite valja li.

My favourite nail polishes

Each of us has its favourite nail polishes. Those are polishes which we wear either in daily activities or in some special occasions. I also have my 10 favourite polishes and I wouldn`t change them for anything in the world.

Svatko od nas ima svoje najdraže lakove. To su lakovi koje nosimo bilo u svakodnevnim aktivnostima bilo u nekim svečanim prigodama. Tako i ja imam svojih 10 najdražih lakova koje ne bih mijenjala :)

Neutral challenge - L'oreal - 205 Rose Bagatelle

L'oreal Rose Bagatelle is most neutral polish that I own. It is beautiful nude shade that is so creamy and shiny... Love it! I'm not nude color lover, but this one is appealing in my eyes also. Usually I feel like I have dead person nails wearing nudes, but this one is very elegant. If you are having troubles finding nude that you will like, try this one!

L'oreal Rose Bagatelle je najneutralniji lak koji posjedujem. Krasne je nude nijanse, a struktura mu je potpuno krem i sjajna. Inače ne volim nude boje, no ova je čak i meni sjela dobro. Kad nosim nude lakove osjećam se kao da imam mrtvačke nokte, no s ovim se osjećam dapače vrlo živo i elegantno :) Ako i vi imate problema naći nude nijansu koju ćete voljeti, probajte s ovom.

Almost but not quite nude

Hi, guys! Today I'm showing you its highness Rimmel Lycra Pro 365 Beige Style. I didn't even plan on making a post about this nail polish but since I was so positively surprised by its brush and application easiness, I just had to. It ended with this simple manicure:

Bok, ljudi! Danas ću vam pokazati njegovo veličanstvo Rimmerl Lycra Pro 365 (je prošlo dana... :)) Beige style. Uopće nisam planirala postati o ovom lakiću, ali kako me stvarno oduševio svojom četkicom i lakom mazivošću, jednostvano sam morala. Rezultiralo je ovom jednostavnom manikuricom:
