Just another manic french tip manicure

Do you think that crazy colorful manicures look better on shorter nails? I do lately. Manicures that contain more than 3 or even 2 colors are just too much on longer nails. On short nails you can do basically everything and it'll look cute. Since my nails are still long I wanted to use that because, after this they're going down. :)

Mislite li da lude šarene manikure bolje izgledaju na kraćim noktima? U posljednje vrijeme ja da. Manikure koje imaju više od 3 ili čak 2 boje su mi jednostavno previše na dužim noktima. Na kratkim noktima zapravo možete napraviti sve i izgledat će slatko. Obzirom da su mi nokti još uvijek dugi, htjela sam to iskoristiti jer nakon ovoga odoše! :)

Gabrini Matte Nails 397

Hello! Here I am after a long time! I was in a huge rush so I didn`t paint my nails for a long time (shame on me) :D I really felt desire for nail polishibg so I digged trough my collection of nail polishes and spotted this beauty.
 
Book! Evo i mene nakon dugog vremena! Bila sam u velikoj gužvi pa nisam baš ni lakirala puno nokte (sram me bilo) :D Baš sam se zaželila lakiranja pa sam malo prokopala po svojoj kolekciji lakova i ugledala ovog ljepotanka.

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.

Oldest challenge - Catrice Iron mermaiden

This challenge asks for oldest polish in a collection. I don't really remember which one is my oldest, but this one is old enough.Catrice Iron mermaiden is a duchorome metallic polish with greenish grey as base color that transforms to lilac depending from light and angle that you are watching. Swatches are done with 3 layers of Catrice.

Ovaj izazov zahtjeva najstariji lak u kolekciji. Ne sjećam se baš koji mi je lak iz kolekcije najstariji, no ovaj je dovoljno star. Catrice Iron mermaiden je lak duochrome metalne boje. Za bazu ima zeleno sivu koja se preljeva u lila ovisno o svjetlosti i kutu iz kojeg gledate lak. Slike su napravljene s 3 sloja laka. 

Copycat manicure :)

Hi to all nail polish lovers! Today I have for you one sweet 'happy that the summer's on hold so I can paint my nails without bubbles manicure. :) I actually took the idea out of my notebook – which means that I stole it from someone! Shame on me! :)

Pozdrav svim lakićljupcima! Danas za vas imam jednu slatku :sretna sam što je ljeto na čekanju pa mogu lakirati nokte bez mjehurića: manikuru. :) Zapravo sam uzela ideju iz svoga blokića što znači da sam ju ukrala! Sram me bilo! :)

Jelly sandwich mani

Hi all!
Here I go again. I wanted to present a jelly sandwich manicure, something I really like to do. I'm sure you already know this, but jelly sandwich is made like this (or at least I make it this way): layer or two of base color, preferably cream, layer of glitter polish, layer or two of jelly polish.
For this specific manicure I used two coats of cream white polish, one layer of glitter polish and two layers of white jelly polish.

Pozdrav!
Evo mene opet. Danas sam vam htjela pokazati nešto već viđeno, jelly manikuru, koju jako volim raditi. Sigurna sam da ste već upoznate s procesom, ali svejedno ću vam opisati kako ja to radim: sloj ili dva bazne boje, sloj glitter laka, sloj ili dva jelly laka.
Za ovu manikuru sam koristila dva sloja kremastog bijelog laka, jedan sloj šljokica i dva sloja bijelog jelly laka.

Cool challenge - Essie Funny face

Next challenge required cool manicure color. Again I didn't had much time so I've made simple manicure with this beautiful polish - Essie Funny face. It is classic pink cream that suits every skin tone. I've made pictures with just two layers of Essie, and Seche Vite fast drying top coat on top of it.

Ovaj izazov zahtjevao je manikuru hladnog tona. Ponovo nisam imala puno vremena tako da sam napravila jednostavnu manikuru s ovim divnim lakom - Essie Funny face. To je klasična pink boja kremaste teksture, bez ikakvog shimmera ili šljokica te odgovara svakom tonu kože. Slike su napravljene sa samo dva sloja Essie laka te jednim slojem Seche Vite laka za brzo sušenje. Ako netko želi kupiti ovaj lak, korišten je samo za ovu recenziju, te za blogerice je cijena 20% povoljnija te iznosi samo 40kn!

Warm challenge - Flormar 01 in Red

Yes, I know I'm a bit late, but I had so much to do this week, so I simply haven't found any time to make this post before. But this challenge is for this week, so Sunday should be fine too, right? :)

Da, znam da malo kasnim s ovim postom, no imala sam toliko posla ovaj tjedan da jednostavno nisam stigla napisati ga ranije. Ali ovo natjecanje je tjedno pa mislim da je i nedjelja ok, zar ne? :)

This is one of my beauties from Flormar, polish brand I adore. Shade 01 is bright red with pink undertone and pearl finish. I have took pictures with my mobile phone, so they are not so great, but I think you can see it's lovelyness never the less.

Ovo je još jedan od ljepotana iz Flormara, jedne od meni jako dragih marki lakova. Nijansa 01 je svijetlo crvena sa rozim podtonom i bisernim sjajem. Slike sam uhvatila mobitelom, tako da im kvaliteta nije baš savršena, no vjerujem da ćete vidjeti ljepotu laka i ovako.

Ice cold nails

I hate summer! Literally! There are a lot of good things like no work, sea, hanging around 'till late, sandals, sunscreen smell and all the spare time in the world! Yeah right! Like I need it when I can't even go out of the house without having my brain fried. In the other hand, what to do in the house all day? Painting nails crosses mind but I don't want the bubbly look on my nails! :/ The other day I wanted so badly to do one simple manicure and I went to the basement to do it. You can laugh all you want, but since I don't have an air conditioner, the solution was about to be found!

Mrzim ljeto! Doslovno! Ima dosta dobrih stvari, npr. ne moram raditi, more, bančenje do kasno, sandale, miris kreme za sunčanje i svo slobodno vrijeme ovoga svijeta! Da, baš! Kao da mi treba kada ne mogu ni iz kuće izaći, a da mi mozak ne izgori. S druge strane, što raditi u kući cijeli dan? Lakiranje noktiju pada na pamet, ali ne želim manikuru s mjehurićima! :/ Neki dan sam tako htjela napraviti jednostavnu manikuru i otišla sam ju napraviti u podrum. Možete se smijati koliko hoćete, no obzirom da nemam klima uređaj, trebalo je naći neko rješenje!

Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 105

Hi darlings!
It's been so long since my last post, I'm sorry about that, and I promise I'll do my best to shorten that period.
Today I'll be showing you one of my recent buys, GR Jolly Jewels 105. I absolutely LOVE this polish, it's so much fun to wear, and I got so many compliments when I was wearing it.
Pozdrav drage moje!
Jako mi je žao što je opet prošlo milijun dana od mog posljednjeg posta, ali na sto strana sam. Em radim, em  se borim sa zadnjim ispitima, em pišem diplomski, i još par sitnica uz to. Dat ću sve od sebe da češće postam, obećajem.
Danas ću vam pokazati jednog od mojih nedavno kupljenih ljepotana, GR Jolly Jewels 105. Ovaj lak obožavam, prelijep je i prezabavan, a usput ne škodi to što sam dobila gomilu komplimenata kad sam ga nosila.

Cutie pie flowers over grey

I haven't wore classic grey since... I think never. I really like gray but when it comes to nails I always choose any other color for a simple reason – it looks more cheerful. Not any more! After seeing Šiškas gorgeous gray nails (our nail polish collegue) I wantet to show you that I can wear gray too. :)

Nisam nosila klasično sivo od... Mislim da nisam nikad. Stvarno volim sivo, no kada se radi o noktima, uvijek biram bilo koju drugu boju iz jednostavnog razloga – izgleda vedrije. Ne više! Nakon što sam vidjela Šiškine predivne sive nokte, htjela sam vam pokazati  da i ja mogu nositi sivo. :)

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.

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.

Flormar - Supermatte M126

Hi everyone!

Finally I've caught a break so I can post something. Today I'll be showing you a grey-purple beauty from Flormar. I love this color, but it is so hard to define, sometimes it's completely light grey, sometimes you can see the purple, and under the yellow light it even looks a bit brownish. I tried to catch all of its faces with a camera.

Pozdrav svima!

Konačno sam malo stala i uhvatila vremena da napišem post. Danas ću vam pokazati jednog ljepotana iz Flormara, lak čiju je boju jako teško opisati, nešto između sive i ljubičaste. Meni je jako lijep, ponekad skroz siv, ponekad vidim ljubičastu notu u njemu, a pod žutim svjetlom nekad izgleda kao i da ima nešto smećkasto u sebi. Pokušala sam za vas aparatom uhvatiti sva njegova lica.

S-he 313 in green

I bought new nail polish the other day. It was s-he number 313. There was another in similar tone, so I had problem choosing between them. Colour in the bottle was great, deep green with miniature particles (no, glitter is to big for this ;) ) which goes from bright green toward gold.


Neki dan kupih novi lakić, s-he broj 313. Bila je još jedna slična nijansa, baš sam se dvoumila. Jako mi se svidjela boja u bočici, duboka zelena sa minijaturnim česticama (ne, nije gliter, to je preveliko) koje se iz svjetlozelene presijavaju u gotovo zlatno.

Pride support nails

Our nail polish collegue Šiška set pride nails as a theme on forum.hr for this week. This saturday was held LGBT Pride in Split and I decided to participate in the theme to show my support for some friends of mine and many others. Besides, it's a great theme! You can't go wrong with a lot of color. :)

Naša Šiška je zadala pride nails kao temu na forum.hr za ovaj tjedan. Inače, ove se subote održavao LGTB Pride u Splitu i ja sam odlučila sudjelovati u temi kako bih podržala neke svoje prijatelje i mnoge druge. Osim toga, tema je sjajna! Ne možeš pogriješiti s mnogo boja. :)

Nail art - Colorful puzzle

When I started this manicure, I wanted to do something entirely different, which included making quite complex gradient. While trying to find a sponge for the gradient, I came accross my dotting tool and decided to go this way. „Go with the flow“ style :)

Kad sam krenula u izradu ove manikure, imala sam nešto totalno drugačije na umu. Namjeravala sam napraviti kompleksni gradient, no nisam mogla naći spuživce koje su mi trebale. Dok sam ih tražila naišla sam na svoje točkalice i dobila ideju za manikuru koju ćete vidjeti u nastavku. Kako se kockice nekad zanimljivo poslože :)

Challenge - Three colors: Porcelain coffee cup inspired

So... Challenges are just not my thing! When someone (or in this case something) says you'll do this or that, I block out. Any kind of rules when it comes to my hobbies, especially my nails aren't welcome. Luckily I had an idea of three color manicure before I knew about the challenge and the guest post. Am I one lucky bastard or what? :))

Izazovi jednostavno nisu moj đir! Ako mi netko (ili u ovom slučaju nešto) dirigira što ću raditi, blokiram. Bilo kakva pravila po pitanju mojih hobija, a posebno ako su nokti u pitanju, nisu dobrodošla. Srećom, imala sam ideju za trobojnu manikuru prije nego sam saznala za izazov i gostujući post. Zar nemam sreće? :))

Oriental nails

Not necessarily oriental, but... I had to name this manicure somehow! :) Do you like oriental jewelry? I do a lot! It looks really gorgeous. Ofcourse, I don't wear it in real life because no matter the occasion, it's just too much. The other day I saw this Bollywood video on youtube and was stunned once again by the beauty of their hair jewelry so I thought: why wouldn't I wear it at least on my nails?

Ne nužno orijentalni, ali... Morala sam nekako nazvati manikuru! :) Sviđa li se vama orjentalni nakit? Meni jako! Izgleda božanstveno. Naravno, ne nosim ga nikada jer je u svakoj situaciji jednostavno previše. Neki dan sam gledala neki Bollywood video na youtubeu i opet bila zaprepaštena ljepotom njihovog nakita za kosu pa sam pomislila zašto ga ne bih nosila barem na noktima?

Maybelline Colorama - 140 in purple

Hello! :)
First, I want to thank dear Illy that call me to write on this blog. I am crazy about nail polishes and nail art. I love to do that because it calms me down in a little free time I have :D This manicure I made with Maybelline colorama 140 nail polish and I stamped with essence stampy set.
 
Lijep pozdrav :)
Kao prvo, htjela bih se zahvaliti dragoj Illy što me je pozvala da pišem na ovom blogu. Luda sam za lakovima i nail artom. Obožavam to raditi jer me smiruje u ono malo slobodno vremena što ga imam :D 
Današnju manikuru napravila sam sa Maybelline colorama 140 lakom za nokte i pečatirala sa essenceovim setom za pečatiranje.
