Essence - 03 Carrie

Spring is perfect time for glitter nails! And this one is a beauty - Essence Carrie glitter top coat.

Proljeće je savršeno vrijeme za šljokicaste nokte! A ovaj je krasan - Essence Carrie.

This is a glitter top coat made of two colored squares and small glitter particles with the same two colors. Colors are light pink and dark pink (almost rosy). Size is just right, not too big or too small.

U laku se nalaze dvije vrste šljokica - dvobojni kvadratići i sitne šljokice istih boja. Jedna od boja šljokica je svijetlo roza, a druga ružičasta. Veličina šljokica je taman, niti su prevelike niti premale.

Nail art stripes with Catrice Am I blue or green over Pupa in silver

Here is some spring nail art with pastel blue over silver polish. I've also integrated idea of french manicure with silver tips in it, hope you'll like it :) Main stream are stripes of silver that is poping out of pastel blue.

Evo jedan proljetni nail art sa pastelno plavom preko srebrnog laka. Manikura se sastoji od srebrnih prugica koje iskaču iz pastelnog laka te french vrhova noktiju u srebrnoj boji.

First I have layerd 3 layers of Pupa - L104 Silver, after that I have placed stripes and over them carefully layered one layer of Catrice Am I blue or green (as you can see, the answer of that question is - it's blue! :)

Prvo sam stavila 3 sloja laka Pupa - L104 Silver, nakon čega su došle trakice na red. Preko trakica sam pažljivo stavila jedan sloj Catrice Am I blue or green (kao što možete vidjeti, odgovor na pitanje je - it's blue! :)

Golden Rose - 120 Holografic Red

Hi!
I love holographic nail polishes so much! They are so vivid and cheerfull with all of that light fluctuation that goes on on their surface. One of the holos in my colection is this red Golden Rose 120.

Pozdrav!
Obožavam holografske lakove! Tako su živi i veseli sa tim preljevanjem svjetlosti po površini. Jedan od holo lakova u mojoj kolekciji je i crveni Golden Rose 120.

Color is beautiful and very opaque! It is not classical red, it has a blue undertone in it.

Boja je prekrasna i prekriva odlično! Nije klasična crvena, nego ima plavi podton.

Catrice - Sunny Side with Alessandro - Wicked Ginger

I love this sunny period so much! So I think this manicure suited very well. I did it with yellow-orange cream named Catrice Sunny Side.

Obožavam ovaj sunčani period! Mislim da mu ova manikura odlično odgovara. Napravila sam je sa žuto-narančastim krem lakom Catrice Sunny Side.

Polish also has nice golden shimmer to it that makes him little bit more interesting. I've added Alessandro Wicked Ginger on my accent nail, I think warmth of color suits Catrice very well :)

Lak ima sitni shimmer što ga čini zanimljivijim. Također sam dodala Alessandro WIcked Ginger na prstenjak, mislim da njegova toplina odgovara odlično na Catrice.

Essie - Jag-U-Are

Ok readers, be prepared, because this is one of my favorite reds... Essie - Jag-U-Are has the perfect qualities that puts her in this place: it has great and pigmented color, one layer is enough to become opaque and it has awsome glossy finish.

Dragi moji, budite spremni, jer ću vam predstaviti jednu od svojih najdražih crvenih... Essie - Jag-U-Are ima savršena svojstva koji ju stavljaju na to počasno mjesto: prekrasne je i iznimno pigmentirane boje, jedan sloj je dovoljan da je lak neproziran i ima divan sjajni finiš.

Swatches are done with only one layer of Essie, except little finger where there are 2 layers just so you can see that there is no big difference.

Fotografije su napravljene sa samo jednim slojem Essie-a, osim na malom prstu gdje su 2 sloja samo da vidite da nema neke velike razlike.

Deborah Lippmann - Nefertiti

This beautiful polish I've got from my dear, thank you again!
It was on my wish list for a long time, and you will see why :)
I present to you: Deborah Lippmann - Nefertiti

Ovaj prekrasan lak sam dobila od svog dragog, hvala ti još jednom!
Bio mi je na WL dugo vremena, a vidjet ćete i zašto se našao tamo :)
Predstavljam vam: Deborah Lippmann - Nefertiti

It is like having gold dust on your nails. Shade is sand gold color made of small shimmer particles. It goes from the neutral to cold side because there is also some silverish/white shimmer added into the polish.

Osjećaj je kao da imate zlatnu prašinu na noktima. Nijansa je pješčano zlatna sačinjena od sitnog shimmera. Boja se kreće od neutralnog prema hladnom tonu zato što je sačinjena ne samo od zlatnog nego i od srebrno-bijelog shimmera.

Catrice - Birdy Reloaded!

Spring time, birds are singing, sun is shining... And you will be in that picture with this beautifull yellow polish!

Proljeće je, ptice pjevaju, sunce sija... I vi ćete se smjestiti savršeno u tu sliku sa ovim divnim žutim lakom!

Catrice - Birdy Reloaded! is one of my favorite spring polishes. It covers perfectly in 2 layers, and color is georgeous pastel yellow.

Catrice - Birdy Reloaded! je jedan od mojih najdražih proljetnih lakova. Prekriva savršeno u dva sloja, a boja je divna pastelno žuta.

Green nail art with purple accents

Dear readers!
I had great idea for green nail art, but I didn't like the outcome too much. What do you think?

Dragi moji,
Imala sam super ideju za zeleni nail art, ali nije mi se pretjerano svidio rezultat. Što vi mislite?

I have used:

Opoola in green for nail art base, 3 layers
Rimmel Pompous for spikes
Kleancolor Sparkle purple as a glitter near nail base

Koristila sam:

Opoola zeleni lak kao bazu nail arta u 3 sloja
Rimmel Pompous za "šiljke"
Kleancolor Sparkle purple za šljokice blizu korijena nokta

OPI - I'm indi-a mood for love

Spring finally came in Croatia! I'm celebrating it with cheerfull colors, including nail polish. One of the perfect examples is OPI - I'm indi-a mood for love.

Proljeće je napokon došlo u Hrvatsku! Slavim to sa veselim bojama, što uključuje i lakove za nokte. Jedan od odličnih primjera je OPI - I'm indi-a mood for love.

Polish is almost perfect if you don't look at one thing - drying time. I've dried it for 3h without top coat, and it stil hasn't dried. That is why My nails aren't creamy and shiny as they were when I've polised my nails. They were really shiny. Seche Vite would make all the problems disappear :) And color is realy great, suiting many skin tones. It is very vibrant fuchsia pink. Color is much brighter and stronger than on the pictures.

Ovaj lak bio bi savršen da nije jedne stvari - brzina sušenja. Sušila sam ga 3h i još se nije osušio. Nakon što sam se probudila nestao je sjaj i kremastost laka upravo zbog tog slabog sušenja. A inače je lak sam po sebi iznimno sjajan. Seche Vite bi popravio sve probleme :) A i boja je divna te paše na sve tonove kože. Boja je vibrantna fuksija. Puno je intenzivnija nego na slikama.

Essence - Night in Vegas over Anny - One and only

I love changing my manicure, so I've made the one I've reviewed in previous post more interesting by adding Essence Night in Vegas as a top coat.

Volim mijenjati manikuru, tako da sam napravila onu koju sam prethodno recenzirala zanimljivijom sa Essence Night in Vegas.

These are 2 coats, without top coat. Even in one layer the effect is great! It is very easy to apply and remove, it is not typical glitter.

Na slikama su 2 sloja, bez završnog laka. Čak u jednom sloju je vrlo efektan. Vrlo ga je lagano za nanijeti i skinuti, nije kao tipičan šljokicasti lak.

There are so many colors in this flakie! It transfers from green, through yellow until it gets to orange. Pictures doesn't do it justice, in real life effect is much stronger. It's very shiney even in shaddow.

U ovom "flejkiju" možete naići na mnoštvo boja! Preljeva se od zelene, preko žute do narančaste. Na slikama ne možete vidjeti koliko je divan, uživo je efekt puno jači, vidi se čak i u sjeni!

Anny - One and only

Are you crazy for purples? What about lilacs? If the answers are Yes, you will find Anny - One and only as a very interesting nail polish. Color is dusty lilac cream.

Da li ste ludi za ljubičastom? A za lila? Ako ste odgovorili sa Da, Anny - One and only će vam biti vrlo zanimljiv lak. To je prljavo lila kremasta nijansa.

This polish has a great cream texture and high pigmentation. Only one layer is enough to be opaque, but here I've layerd two, more because of habit than from any other reason. I've finished manicure with Seche Vite but because of fast drying.

Lak je predivne kremaste teksture i visoko pigmentiran. Dovoljan je samo jedan sloj, iako sam ovdje stavila dva - više iz navike nego iz bilo kojeg drugog razloga. Završila sam sa Seche Vite zbog bržeg sušenja.

Flormar 395 glitter in gold over Miyo 25 in blue

Spring still didn't came in my country if we are considering weather. It is raining almost every day so I decided to make it brighter. Sparkling nails served well :)

Proljeće još nije došlo u Hrvatsku ako je suditi po vremenu. Kiši skoro svaki dan pa sam odlučila malo razvedriti ovaj dan. Blješteći nokti su poslužili svrsi :)

Layering was done as follows:

Eveline Maximum Growth as a base coat
2 layers of Miyo 25
1 layer of gilltering Flormar 395
Seche Vite as a top coat

Slojevi su sljedeći:

Eveline Maximum growth kao bazni lak
2 sloja plavog Miyo 25
1 sloj zlatnih šljokica Flormar 395
Seche Vite završni sloj

This combination reminds me of starry night...

Ova kombinacija me podsjeća na noć punu zvijezda...

OPI – Chocolate Moose

If you are tipical kind of people - you love chocolate! And for real chocolate/nail polish lovers - this is your candy: OPI – Chocolate Moose.

Ako ste tipična osoba, zasigurno volite čokoladu! A za prave čoko/lako-ljupce - ovo je slatkiš za vas: OPI – Chocolate Moose.

This is lovely cream brown with cream finish. Pictures are showing little bit warmer color than it is in real life. Swatches are done with this layering:

Eveline Maximum Growth as a polish base
2 layers of OPI Chocolate Moose
1 layer od Seche Vite fast drying top coat

Boja laka je kremasto smeđa sa krem finišem. Na slikama je ispao nešto toplijeg tona nego što je u stvarnosti. Swatchevi su napravljeni sa sljedećom manikurom:

1 sloj baznog laka - Eveline Maximum Growth
2 sloja OPI Chocolate Moose
1 sloj završnog laka za brzo sušenje - Seche Vite

Wish list - Greens

I love green polishes, this color is one of my favorite, and these are my favorite green polishes that I do not own yet:

China Glaze Emerald Sparkle
