Rainbows and Blues

Jessica - Iridescent Eye

2012-01-08T15:52:00.006+01:00

Ta lakec naj bi bil zelo podoben slavnemu Chanel Peridot-u, ampak sama ju ne morem primerjati, ker Peridot-a žal nimam. Zanimivo primerjavo sem našla tukaj: KLIK.

This nail polish should be very similar to famous Chanel Peridot, but I can't compare them, because I do unfortunately not own Peridot. But I found very interesting comparison here: CLICK.

Jessica Iridescent Eye lakec me je navdušil zaradi dobre prekrivnosti (uporabila sem samo dva sloja), hkrati pa s tem, kako različno izgleda na sončku, v senci ali pa pod umetno osvetlitvijo. Včasih je bolj zlat, včasih bolj zelen, sicer pa se barve prelivajo tam nekje od bakrene preko zlate in svetlo zelene do turkizne. Čeprav je v steklenički viden tudi temno moder odtenek, ga na nohtih nisem zasledila.

Jessica Iridescent Eye got me excited because of two main things - it is very opaque (it needs only two coats) and because it looks very differently under sun light, in shadow or under artificial light. Sometimes it looks more gold and sometimes more green, but the colors shift from copper, gold and green to turquoise. In the bottle I can see dark blue color too, but on the nails it is not visible.

Umetna osvetlitev: / Artificial light:

Senca: / Shadow:

Sonce: / Sun:

Upam, da bo Chanel sprožil pravo "duochrome" manijo in da ga bodo posnemali tudi ostali proizvajalci lakov za nohte. :) In ne samo pri ustvarjanju novih in novih kopij Peridot-a, ampak tudi pri drugačnih odtenkih. Če se nam obeta leto takšnih lakov in še prekrivnih po vrhu, nimam nič proti, juhu! =)

I hope that Chanel is going to start a "duochrome" mania and that other nail polish companies would start to create more and more similar polishes. And not just "dupes" of Peridot, but other shades as well. If this would be a year of duochromes that are very opaque at the same time - I really wouldn't mind that! =)

Kiko 255 and 278

2012-01-07T19:47:00.009+01:00

Včeraj sem vas vprašala, kateri lakec iz paketka presenečnja bi rade videle najprej. Vse ste si želele videti vsaj enega izmed vijolkotov, zato vam bom danes pokazala kar oba! :)

Yesterday I asked you which nail polish from the surprise package you would like to see first. All of you wanted to see at least one of the two purples, so that's why I'm showing you both! :)

Prvi izmed njiju bo št. 255, na Kiko spletni strani pa sem našla še njegovo ime - Violet Microglitter, ki kar dobro opiše ta lakec. V vijolični bazi se namreč skrivajo zelo drobne holografske bleščice. Na moje veliko presenečenje je ta lakec zelo prekriven, zadoščala sta samo dva sloja. Pri podobnih bleščičastih lakcih tega namreč nisem vajena in zato je to zame še dodaten plus! Sicer je bil lakec precej gost, vendar sem ga vseeno lahko lepo nanesla. Ko se je posušil, tekstura ni bila čisto gladka, vendar jo je zgladil en sloj nadlaka.

First one is Nr. 255 and on the Kiko website I found that this shade is also called Violet Microglitter. The name describes the polish well, it's violet with tiny holographic glitter particles. To my surprise it's very opaque, it only needed two coats. I'm not used to that with similar glittery polishes and that's a big plus for me! It was a bit on the thick side, but still managable. When it dried the texture was a bit bumpy, but one coat of top coat smoothed it out.

Sledi pa še drugi vijolko, gre za odtenek št. 278 z imenom Violet Orchid Microglitter. Ta lakec je svetlejši od prejšnjega, vsebuje pa večji šimer nepravilnih oblik. V živo je malenkost bolj rdeč in vsebuje malo manj modre, kot izgleda na fotografijah, ampak moj fotoaparat te barve očitno ne pozna. ;) Za popolno prekrivnost so potrebni trije sloji, posuši pa se z lepim sijajem.

Next is the second purple nail polish, this is color Nr. 278 a.k.a. Violet Orchid Microglitter. It is much lighter than previous one and it contains larger glass flecked shimmer. In reality it is a little bit more red and less blue as it seems on the photos, but my camera obviously doesn't recognize that color. ;) It needs three coats for full opacity and dries with very glossy finish.

Na naslednji fotografiji sem poskušala ujeti njegov rahel duochrome finiš, vendar mi to ni najbolje uspelo... V steklenički je malenkost bolj viden kot na nohtih.

On the next photo I tried to capture it's slightly duochtome finish, but I wasn't very successful at that... In the bottle duochrome is more noticeable than on the nails.

Kateri od teh dveh lepotcev vas je bolj prepričal? Jaz se med njima nisem mogla odločiti že med sestavljanjem seznama želja, sedaj pa se mi zdi odločitev še celo težja. Oba sta namreč čudovita! =)

Which one of this two beauties do you prefer? I couldn't decide between them even when I was puting them on my wishlist, but now I feel it's even harder to decide, because they are both gorgeous! =)

Surprise package

2012-01-07T00:12:00.004+01:00

Ta teden sem iz Italije prejela čudovito presenečenje - paketek, poln Kiko lakcev, za piko na i pa je bil zraven še Golden Rose nadlak s holografskimi paličicami!

This week I recieved a wonderfil surprise from Italy - it was a package full of Kiko nail polishes and there was also Golden Rose holographic bar glitter!

Že nekaj časa sem si zaradi fotografij na ostalih blogih želela Kiko lakca 255 in 278, ki sem ju imela tudi na seznamu želja, Raggio di Luna pa je to opazila in mi željo tudi izpolnila, zraven pa v paketek dodala še tri druge lepotce! Raggio, HVALA!! =)) Na zgornji fotografiji si od leve proti desni sledijo: Kiko 232, Kiko 278, Golden Rose 70, Kiko 255 in Kiko 304. Ko bi le bila njihova imena malo bolj izvirna...

Because of some beautiful photos I saw on other blogs I really wanted to get Kiko 255 and 278 nail polishes and they were on my wishlist. Raggio di Luna noticed that and she fulfilled my wish and she also added three other gorgeous polishes! Raggio, THANK YOU!! =)) On the upper photo from left to right there are: Kiko 232, Kiko 278, Golden Rose 70, Kiko 255 and Kiko 304. I only wish they all had more original names...

Komaj čakam, da jih preizkusim! Vendar je odločitev, kateri lakec bi nosila najprej, kar precej težka. Zato mi prosim pomagajte in mi povejte, katerega od njih bi rad videle najprej. ;)

I can't wait to try all of them! But the decision, which one to put my nails first, is really hard, so please help me and tell me, which nail polish would you like to see first. ;)

My favorite shimmery Christmassy reds

2011-12-23T20:28:00.005+01:00

Tu je nekaj swatchev mojih najljubših šimrastih rdečih odtenkov, ki so čudoviti in hkrati primerni za božične manikure. Njihova skupna lastnost je tudi ta, da so zelo prekrivni in bi pri večini skoraj zadostoval že en sam sloj, vendar vedno nanesem vsaj dva.

Here are some swatches of my favorite shimmery red nail polishes which are gorgeous and very suitable for Christmas manicures. The next thing they all have in common is that they are very opaque, so I could almost get away with one coat of each. Still I always use at least two.

Zgoraj in spodaj: Essence Once Upon a Time, dva sloja.
Up and down: Essence Once Upon a Time, two coats.

Zgoraj in spodaj: Feicai - 39, dva sloja.

Moj najljubši, dobila sem ga namreč za darilo iz Pariza.
Up and down: Carrefour - 072, two coats.
This one is my favorite one, I got it as a present from Paris.

Nisem se še čisto odločila, katerega izmed njih bi nosila za božič. Imate kakšen predlog? :)

I haven't decided which one to wear for Christmas yet. Which one do you suggest? :)

Absolutely Alice effect

2011-12-11T10:52:00.006+01:00

Ko sem nanesla dve plasti modrega bleščičastega laka Milani Blue Flash, sem dobila idejo. Odtenek bleščic se mi namreč zdi zelo podoben modrim bleščicam v zelo iskanemu OPI-jevemu Absolutely Alice laku, vendar manjkajo zlate bleščice. Zato sem malo pobrskala po svoji zbirki in na plan je pokukal lakec FCC št. 72, ki v prozorni bazi vsebuje manjše zlate in modre bleščice, nanesla pa sem ga 2 plasti. Ravno prav za efekt, ki sem ga želela doseči! :)

When I did 2 coats of Milani Blue Flash nail polish, which is opaque blue glitter, I got an idea. In my oppinion the colour of the glitter seems very similar to the blue glitter in the very hard to find OPI Absolutely Alice nail polish. But there is no golden glitter, so I checked my nail polish collection and I picked up FCC nail polish in number 72. It contains smaller golden and blue glitter in clear base. I did two coats - that was just right for the effect I wanted to achieve! :)

Končnega rezultata na žalost ne morem primerjati z Absolutely Alice lakom, ker ga nimam v svoji zbirki. Ne vem, kako blizu sem prišla originalu (verjetno ne prav zelo), vendar mi je modro zlat efekt vseeno zelo všeč. Kakšen pa se zdi vam?

Unfortunately I can't compare the final result with Absolutely Alice nail polish, because I don't own it. So I don't know how close to the original I got (probably not very close), but I still love the blue golden effect. And how do you feel about it?

Layering Combo

2011-12-09T21:26:00.003+01:00

Nekaj časa nazaj sem na enem nohtu preizkusila Color Club lakec Total Mystery, vendar je bil za moj okus veliko preveč prosojen, da bi z njim poskušala doseči popolno prekrivnost. Zato sem ga slojila čez prekrivni moder krem lak Essence Chuck. Rezultat - šimrasto modri nohti z vijoličnim pridihom.

A while ago I tried Color Club Total Mystery nail polish on one of my nails, but in my oppinion it was too sheer, so I didn't even bother to reach full opacity only with it. So I layered it over opaque blue nail polish Essence Chuck with creme finish. Result - shimmery blue nails with purple sheen.

Čez nekaj časa me je manikura pričela dolgočasiti, zato sem dodala še bleščičast lak Essence Troy, ki vsebuje modre, vijolične in srebrne bleščice v prosojni osnovi.

After a while this manicure became boring to me, so I added glittery nail polish over it. This was Essence Troy, it contains blue, purple and silver glitter in a clear base.

Kakšen se vam zdi končni rezultat? Meni je bil zelo všeč! :)

How do you like the final result? I liked it a lot! :)

Raggio di Luna Nails

2011-12-03T22:51:00.003+01:00

Imate rade umetnine na nohtih? Jaz jih obožujem, vendar ponavadi ne najdem dovolj časa ali volje, da bi se lotila ustvarjati na lastnih nohtih. No ja, nalakiram jih že, to pa je večinoma kar to... Moja dobra prijateljica in sestrična pa ima tudi tisto umetniško žilico, ki meni manjka. Že nekaj časa ustvarja in riše po svojih nohtkih, sedaj pa je pričela pisati tudi svoj blog, ki ga z veseljem prebiram in si sprostim oči. Saj veste, kako to gre. =)

Do you like nail art? I love it, but I usually don't find enough of time or I just don't feel like doing it on my own nails. I paint them with a pretty nail polish and mostly that's just it... But my very good friend and cousin has that great talent that I lack. She creats perfect nail art manicures and she just started her own blog. I really like to read it and I rest my eyes on her photos. You know, how that goes, right? =)

Tu je nekaj njenih fotografij. / Here are some of her photos.

Če so vam njene fotografije všeč, vam priporočam obisk njenega bloga, Raggio di Luna Nails. Raggio di Luna, tebi pa želim še veliko veselja pri ustvarjanju (na nohtkih in blogu, hihi)!* =))

If you like her photos, I suggest you to visit her blog Raggio di Luna Nails. Raggio di Luna, I hope you will have much joy with nail art and blogging in the future too!* =))

Essence Feels So Good top coat

2011-11-06T21:12:00.004+01:00

Prepričana sem, da že poznate ta lakec iz Essence Remix Your Style omejene kolekcije. Gre za odtenek oziroma nadlak Feels So Good. Vsebuje pretežno roza šimer, ki pa se pod različnimi koti spremeni v zeleno barvo. Za podlago sem uporabila lak Almost Black znamke Catrice, ki je bil del starejše linije, ko stekleničke še niso bile zaobljene.

I'm sure that you have already heard about this nail polish from Essence Remix Your Style limited collection. This is Feels So Good color, well, it's actually a top coat. It has pretty pink shimmer, which flashes to green under right angle. For base color I used Almost Black nail polish from Catrice. This is one of their old nail polishes and it's not even in the rounded newer bottle.

To je edini lakec, ki sem ga kupila iz te kolekcije. Kateri pa so navdušili vas? Ste jih ali pa jih še boste kupile?

This is the only nail polish I bought from this collection. And which ones do you like? Did you buy them or are you going to?

Ozotic Pro - 505

2011-11-05T15:20:00.007+01:00

Pri tem lakcu ne bom izgubljala preveč besed – Ozotic Pro 505 sem slojila čez črn Color Club Where's The Soiree in dobila sem pretežno temno zeleno, modro in vijolično kombinacijo, ki se preliva do roza, oranžne, rumene in celo svetlo zelene... <3 To je brez dvoma moj najljubši "multichrome" lak, zaenkrat je v moji zbirki brez konkurence! Sedaj pa naj svoje povedo še fotografije. :)

I will not loose too many words about this nail polish – I painted one coat of Ozotic Pro 505 over black Color Club Where's The Soiree and I got mainly dark green, blue and purple combination, but it goes on to pink, orange, yellow and even light green... <3 This is my favorite multichrome nail polish by far, it has no competition in my collection! And now prepare yourself for photo spam. :)

Je ta lakec tudi vam všeč tako, kot je meni? Ga imate v svoji zbirki ali pa vas je podobno navdušil kateri drug odtenek?

Do you like this polish as much as I do? And do you own it too or did any other similar polish make you very excited?

Mixed Glass Stones and Kleancolor Metallic Red

2011-11-03T11:41:00.008+01:00

S spletne trgovine Viva la Nails sem prejela 9 majhnih paketkov okrasnih kamenčkov za nohte v večih barvah. V vsakem izmed paketkov so štiri velikosti kamenčkov enake barve in poslali so mi 9 različnih barv.

I have received 9 little sample packages of mixed glass stones for nail art from Viva la Nails in many colours. Each of the packages contains four sizes of stones in the same color and they sent me 9 different colors.

Za primerjavo velikosti sem zgoraj zraven paketkov fotografirala še svojo roko (na nohtih imam Kleancolor Metallic Red lakec), spodaj pa vidite primerjavo velikosti paketka in evrskega kovanca.

For the size comparison I have photographed my hand next to the packages on the upper photo (I'm wearing Kleancolor Metallic Red nail polish on my nails) and on the lower photo you can see the package compared with the 1 Euro coin.

Kamenčki so različnih velikosti. Manjši se mi zdijo zelo luštni in uporabni, največjih pa si sploh ne predstavljam na svojih nohtih, saj so za moj okus odločno preveliki.

There are various sizes of the stones. I find the smaller ones very cute and useful, but I cannot see myself wearing the biggest of them, they are way too big in my opinion.

Zelo sem se veselila, da kamenčke preizkusim, zato nisem mogla čakati in sem na trenutno manikuro takoj dodala zlate rožice z Essence štampiljko in China Glaze 2030, nato pa sem v sredine cvetov dodala manjše modre kamenčke.

I was very excited to try out the stones and I couldn't wait to change my manicure, so I stamped golden flowers on top with Essence stamp and China Glaze 2030. Then I added small blue stones in the middle od the blossoms.

Vam je ta manikura všeč ali sem morda pretiravala s preveč barvami? Takšnih manikur namreč nisem vajena in naslednjič bom verjetno ustvarila kakšno bolj umirjeno...

Do you like this manicure od did I exaggerate with too many colors? I'm really not used to manicures like this and next time I will probably create something more delicate...

Double crack :)

2011-10-31T20:53:00.005+01:00

Danes imam za vas fotografije dveh Depend lakcev. Prvi od njiju je nežno lila barve s srebrnim šimrom, drugi pa je svetlo moder crackle lakec, ki ravno tako vsebuje srebrn šimer. Na žalost lakca nimata prijetnih imen, ampak samo številke: 222 in 5067. Po vrhu je hec tudi v tem, da so številke izredno slabo vidne, zato je možno, da sem katero od njiju prepisala narobe. Če katera to opazi, naj me prosim opozori in bom popravila. :)

Today I would like to show you photos of two Depend nail polishes. First one is delicate lilac colour with silver shimmer and second one is light blue crackle polish, which also contains silver shimmer. Unfortunately they do not have such pretty names, but only numbers: 222 and 5067. And to make it even more sad is the fact that numbers are almost invisible, so I might have read them wrong. If anyone notices I made a mistake, please tell me and I will correct it. :)

Preden pa sem manikuro odstranila, sem se odločila še za kratek test, ki sem ga poimenovala kar "Double crack". ;) Po vrhu sem namreč slojila še eno plast Essence Crack Me! Black laka in efekt mi je bil zelo všeč. Kako pa se zdi vam?

Before I removed this manicure I decided to do a little test and I called it "Double crack". ;) Over the nails I painted one coat of Essence Crack Me! Black crackle nail polish and I really loved the effect. Do you find this combination as mission acomplished? :)

Tony Moly Galaxy Collection

2011-10-11T17:34:00.010+02:00

Danes vam bom predstavila Tony Moly Galaxy kolekcijo lakov. Gre za pet odtenkov z bleščicami v temnejši bazi, ki so popolnoma prekrivni v samo dveh slojih! Meni so izredno všeč, kljub temu, da tudi po treh plasteh nadlaka nohti še vedno niso popolnoma gladki. Sama sem takoj nanesla dve plasti nadlaka, naslednji dan pa še tretjo. Na mojih nohtih so ti lakci tudi opazno bolj obstojni, zdržali so tri ali štiri dni, preden so se začeli krušiti. Zelo impresivno, saj sem ponavadi zadovoljna že pri dveh dneh! :) Kot podlak sem uporabljala Orly Bonder, kot nadlak pa INM Out The Door.

Today I will show you the Tony Moly Galaxy nail polish collection. In it there are five glittery colors in darker bases and they are completely opaque in just two coats! I love them very much, even considering the fact that my nails were not totally smooth after three coats of top coat. I have put on two coats of top coat right after polishing my nails and the next day I did third coat. These polishes are very long-lasting on my nails - they did not start to chip before three or four days of wear. That's really impressive for me, because I'm happy already if polish stays on my nails for two days! :) I was using Orly Bonder as a base coat and INM Out The Door as a top coat.

Prvi izmed njih je GT01 oz. Merkur. V temno sivo jelly bazo so vmešane majhne kvadratne srebrne, rdeče in modre bleščice.

First of is GT01 aka Mercury. There is small square glitter in silver, red and blue color mixed in dark gray jelly base.

Naslednji je GT02 oz. Zemlja. V temno modri jelly bazi najdemo mini temno modre in srebrne bleščice ter malo večje šestkotne roza bleščice, ki pod različnimi koti spreminjajo barvo.

Next one is GT02 aka Earth. It has very tiny dark blue and silver glitter and a bit larger hexagonal pink glitter that shifts colors. The glitter is mixed in dark blue jelly base.

Naslednji lepotec ima oznako GT03 oz. Mars. Baza je pri tem laku temno rjave barve, vanjo pa so vmešane majhne temno rjave in oranžne ter večje zlate bleščice. Na sončku so opazne tudi mikroskopsko majhne modre bleščice, ki dajo laku še dodatno dimenzijo.

Next beauty is called GT03 aka Mars. This polish has dark brown base with smaller dark brown and orange glitter and bigger hexagonal golden glitter. In the sun I can also se microscopic blue glitter which gives another dimension to the polish.

Sledi GT04 oz. Neptun, kjer lahko v temno zeleni bazi vidimo majhne zlate, srebrne in zelene ter velike zelene šestkotne bleščice.

Next is GT04 aka Neptune. In dark green base we can see small golden, silver and green glitter and larger hexagonal green glitter.

Zadnji v tej kolekciji je GT05 oz. Jupiter. V temno vijolično jelly bazo so vmešane čisto majhne oranžne, malo večje vijolične in velike modrozelene šestkotne bleščice, ki spreminjajo barvo.

Last but not the least is GT05 aka Jupiter. In dark purple jelly base is mixed tiny orange, bigger purple and big hexagonal blue green glitter, which shifts color.

Ponavadi nikoli ne kupim celotnih kolekcij lakov za nohte, ta pa me je prepričala že dvakrat - najprej pred nakupom, potem pa še na nohtih. Moji najljubši v naključnem vrstnem redu so: Merkur, Zemlja, Mars, Neptun in Jupiter. No, v bistvu kar vsi! ;D Žal mi je samo, v kolekciji ni toliko lakov, kot je planetov, pogrešam še Venero, Saturn in Uran, pri tako čudovitih gliterčkih pa bi bila za planet pripravljena priznati tudi Pluton-a! =)) Zaupajte mi, kateri od njih pa je vaš najljubši?

I usually don't buy whole nail polish collections, but this one convinced me twice already - first before I bought it and second when I put each polish on my nails. My favorites in random order are: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Neptune and Jupiter. Jap, all of them actually! ;D Unfortunately this collection does not consist of so many polishes as there are planets, I miss Venus, Saturn and Uranus. But with such great glitters I would count Pluto as a planet too, daaah! =)) Tell me, what do you think about those polishes and which one is / are your favorite?

Spectraflair frankens!

2011-10-08T16:11:00.013+02:00

Ekstremno prijazna Cathy z bloga More Nail Polish nama je omogočila, da sva v svojo zbirko dodali nekaj gramov pigmenta Spectraflair. Seveda sem takoj zavihala rokave! :)

Extremely nice Cathy from More Nail Polish blog made it happen for us - she helped us to add few grams of Spectraflair pigment to our collections. Of course I started to franken right away! :)

Zaenkrat sem ustvarila štiri zmešančke. Prvi je modre barve, ki pa je kar precej prosojen, zato sem ga slojila čez eno plast polnoprekrivnega modrega laka Jonca s foil finišem, ki žal nima niti imena niti številke.

I have created four frankens until now. First of them is blue, but it is very sheer, so I layered it over one coat of fully opaque blue foil finish Jonca nail polish, which sadly has no name or number.

Sestavine: Essence Colour & Go Absolute Pure (prozoren lak), 5 kapljic Jonca modrega foil finiš lakca, 3 kapljice China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic in Spectraflair pigment.

Ingredients: Essence Colour & Go Absolute Pure (clear polish), 5 drops of Jonca blue foil finish nail poish, 3 drops of China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic and Spectraflair pigment.

Pri naslednjem zmešančku sploh nisem komplicirala. V prozoren lakec Essence Colour & Go Absolute Pure sem dodajala SF pigment, dokler nisem bila zadovoljna z mavrico. Na fotografijah so štiri plasti brez podlaka in nadlaka.

I did not complicate with my next franken at all. I was adding SF pigment into clear polish Essence Colour & Go Absolute Pure until I was satisfied with the rainbow. There are four coats on the photos without base and top coats.

Seveda mi prekriven moder holografski zmešanček ni dal miru, zato sem ustvarila še tega. Na fotografijah sta dve plasti, čeprav bi bila dovolj samo ena, če bi bila bolj previdna pri nanašanju.

But I still wanted to have an opaque blue holographic nail polish, so I made that one too. There are two coats on the photos, but I could get away with just one if I was more careful with the application.

Sestavine: Joy - 389 (temnno moder lak z jelly finišem) in Spectraflair pigment.

Ingredients: Joy - 389 (dark blue nail polish with jelly finish) and Spectraflair pigment.

Trenutno zadnji izmed zmešančkov pa je nastal iz Essence Choose Me turkiznega laka z večjimi zlatimi bleščicami, ki sem mu dodala še nekaj SF pigmenta.

The last franken for now is made from Essence Choose Me torquoise nail polish with bigger golden glitter and some SF pigment as well.

Za konec pa naj vam pokažem še kombinacijo dveh lakcev, po vrhu prekrivnega modrega frenkija sem namreč nanesla še eno plast turkiznega frenkija. Ta manikura je trenutno moja najljubša, katera pa je najbolj všeč vam?

And for the end I would like to show you my favourite manicure - over an opaque blue franken I did one coat of the torquoise one. And which one do you like the most?

Tale Spectraflair pigment je res super, zdaj sploh ne čakam več na nove kolekcije in upam še na kakšnega luštnega holota. Če so nas proizvajalci lakov v tej smeri zadnja leta razočarali in puščali na cedilu, si lahko same pomagamo do novih prekrasnih mavričnih lepotcev! :P ;D Ali ste tudi ve že preiskusile ta pigment? Kakšne pa so vaše izkušnje?

This Spectraflair pigment is really really great! I don't even wait for any new collection of holographic nail polishes. Those nail polish companies have let us down for so many years and now we can make our own rainbow beauties! How cool is that?? :P ;D Did you try this pigment too? Please, share your experiences with me! :)

NOTD - Ozotic Pro 600 and Essence Crack Me! Black

2011-08-17T14:30:00.003+02:00

Že dolgo nisem objavila trenutne manikure, vendar mi je ta enostavno preveč všeč, da je ne bi delila z vami. :)

I didn't post my NOTD for a very long time, but I just love this one, so I want to share it with you guys. :)

Začela sem s tremi plastmi Ozotic Pro 600 lakom, ki je opečnato rdeče barve z večjimi holografskimi delci. Finiš je podoben lakom iz China Glaze Kaleidoscope kolekcije, vendar mi ga ni uspelo najbolje fotografirati, saj je mavrica v živo precej bolj opazna. To manikuro sem nosila do včeraj. :)

I started with three coats of Ozotic Pro 600, which is brick red nail polish with larger holographic particles. Finish is very similar to China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection, but I couldn't get the best photo, because the rainbow is much more noticeable in real life. I wore this as a manicure until yesterday. :)

Potem pa sem sinoči preko nanesla še plast Essence Crack Me! Black lakca. Na prvi fotografiji ni nadlaka, na naslednjih dveh pa je dodan še nadlak.

Then I topped it with a coat of Essence Crack Me! Black nail polish. On the first photo there is no topcoat, but on the next two there is.

To je moja današnja manikura. Kako se vam zdi? =)

And this is my NOTD. How do you like it? =)

Bourjois #19

2011-08-16T02:43:00.004+02:00

Lak Bourjois 10 days #19 sem kupila, ko je bil znižan, saj me je zelo zanimalo kako se obnese prirezan čopič pri lakiranju. To da je drugačne oblike kot sem vajena me sploh ni motilo, bila pa sem razočarana da sploh ni bil enakomerno prirezan in sem imela zaradi štrlečih ščetin težave pri lakiranju. Lak naj bi bil obstojen do 10 dni, vendar se mi je odkrušil že naslednji dan kot skoraj vsak drug lak. Na srečo mi je barva tako zelo všeč, da ne obžalujem nakupa in bo kmalu spet na mojih nohtih.

I bought Bourjois 10 days #19 nail polish when it was on sale, mostly because I wanted to see how this angled brush looks like and works. It would actually be fine, but my bottle had a couple of bristles longer than they should be and it was hard to paint the line around the cuticle. It is suposed to last up to 10 days, but it chipped on me on the second day, like any other polish. I really like the color, so I am not sorry that I got it.

Essence - Let me in pink with Laushine pink crackle

2011-08-14T15:00:00.000+02:00

Zadnje čase so na mojih nohtkih večinoma lakci ki razpokajo, saj mi je ta efekt zelo všeč. Danes vam bom pokazala skoraj neon roza Laushine crackle lakec preko Essence You Rock - Let me in pink temno roza laka.

I have been wearing mostly crackle nail polishes lately because I really like the effect a lot. Today I will show you Essence You Rock - Let me in pink dark pink nail polish topped with a layer od Laushine almost neon pink crackle nail polish.

Depend - 5007 cracked effect over Essence - Very Berry

2011-08-13T14:41:00.005+02:00

Za današnjo manikuro sem se odločila za malo bolj pisano kombinacijo roza Essence - Very Berry laka s plastjo Depend Cracked effect modrega laka s srebrnimi mini bleščicami. Kombinacija mi je zelo všeč in mislim da bom poskusila še s kakšnim bolj pastelnim roza lakcem.

I decided to do a colorful cracked manicure today. I used pink Essence - Very Berry nail polish which I topped with a layer of Depend blue cracked effect nail polish with tiny silver glitter. I like this combo very much and I think I will try it with pastel pink nail polish next time.

Water Decal Nail Wraps

2011-06-23T19:25:00.007+02:00

Danes vam bom pokazala kompletke vodnih nalepk za nohte s spletne trgovine Viva la Nails. Prejela sem enak paketek kot Anček in za preizkus sva si obe čisto slučajno izbrali isti žirafin vzorček. Da pa ne bo vse skupaj preveč dolgočasno, sem naredila še eno manikuro, tokrat z vijoličnimi rožicami na beli podlagi.

Today I will show you water decals nail wraps sets I got from web store Viva la Nails. I recieved the same package as Anček did and we accidentally chose the same giraffe pattern for our first, testing manicure. I didn't wan't this post to be too boring, so I waited a bit until I used another pattern for my manicure, this time I used purple flowers on white base.

Na zgornji fotografiji si lahko preberete navodila za uporabo. Sama sem najprej očistila nohte in nanesla China Glaze Strong adhession base coat podlak, nato pa sem odprla paketek z izbranim vzorčkom in razrezala kartonček z vzorčki na 10 delov, tako da je bil vsak vzorček na svojem koščku. Potem sem položila izbrano nalepko v vodo, in sicer za dlje časa, kot piše v navodilih, vsaj za minuto, ker sem imela občutek, da so se nalepke potem lepše obnašale. :) Ko sem izbrano nalepko vzela iz vode, sem jo položila na noht in jo poskušala čim lepše postaviti in zgladiti. Vse se mi je zdelo enotavno, dokler tega nisem zares poskusila. Treba je biti namreč zelo hiter, da se nalepke ne posušijo, in ker sem očitno precej počasna, sem jih kar precej uničila. Še dobro, da imam tako majhne nohte in sem lahko nekaj preostalih nalepk prerezala na pol in jih uporabila na tistih nohtih, kjer so se mi prve ponesrečile. :) Po mojem mnenju pa ne bi škodila še kakšna dodatna nalepka za dekleta z večjimi nohti, ker si ne smejo privoščiti napak, ne da bi jim zmanjkalo nalepk... Ko sem bila zadovoljna s postavitvijo nalepke, sem malo počakala, da se je posušila, nato pa sem ostanek odstranila s stekleno pilico. Potem sem noht premazala z nadlakom in šele nato sem se lotila naslednje nalepke.

On the photo above you can read instructions for using them. I cleaned up my nails first and then I used one coat of China Glaze Strong adhession base coat. Then I have opened the set with chosen pattern and I have cut the cardboard on ten smaller pieces, so that each water decal was on one of them. I have put one of the decals in the water for a bit longer time as stated in instructions, so that it was more wet and was easier to use. :) Then I picked up the decal and put it on my nail and tried to put it in the perfect spot with rubbing. Everything seemed very simple to me until I first tried this. You have to be very fast and I'm obviously not, so the decals dried out and when I tried to moved them a bit, I ruined many of them. Luckily I have very small nails and I could cut the remaining decals on half and use both sides. But for the girls with bigger or longer nails it could be a problem, that there are only 10 decals in each set, so there is no room for mistakes... When I was satisfied with the position of the decal, I waited a bit for it to dry and then I filed the excess off with my glass file. Then I used a topcoat and then I moved to the next nail.

Tu lahko primerjate, kako majhne nohte imam v primerjavi z velikostjo nalepk, spodaj pa je še fotografija s Konad ploščico, da si boste lažje predstavljale njihovo dejansko velikost.

Here you can see how small my nails are compared to the size of the decal. Those are huge! :) Underneath is a photo with a Konad plate on it too, so you can compare the actual sizes of the water decals.

Tako, dovolj je bilo žirafe, od zdaj naprej pa samo še rožice. :) To manikuro imam od včeraj in zaenkrat se zelo dobro drži. Prvo manikuro sem nosila 3 dni, kar je zame kar precej, sedaj pa upam, da bodo tudi rožice zdržale vsaj toliko.

Ok, enough with the giraffe, onto the flowers now. :) I'm wearing this manicure from yesterday and it still looks flawless. I wore my first manicure for whole 3 days, which is a lot for me, so I hope the flowers will stick at least this long.

Te vodne nalepke so mi zelo več kljub temu, da sem imela na začetku kar nekaj težav z njimi. Vzorčki so čudoviti in preveč komplicirani, da bi jih lahko ustvarila sama, zato je to zame čudovita rešitev. Za prvo manikuro sem porabila kar dve uri, potem pa sem se navadila in sem drugo manikuro končala prej kot v eni uri in brez nadaljnih napak. :)
So nalepke všeč tudi vam? Še enkrat naj omenim, da jih lahko kupite TUKAJ. Zdaj pa mi prosim še zaupajte, kateri vzorčki so vam najbolj všeč. Meni so zelo luštne te vijolične rožice, komaj pa čakam, da preizkusim še rdeče vrtnice, metuljčke na roza podlagi in rožice na zeleni podlagi... :)

I really like those water decals despite the first troubles I had. Patterns are great and too complicated for me to create on my own and this is a great nail art solution. For the first manicure I used two hours, but I got used to it and the second one was done in less than an hour with no mistakes. :)
Do you like them too? If you do, you can buy them HERE. And please, tell me, which is your favourite pattern. I love these purple flowers and I can't wait to try red roses, butterflies and green green based flowers too... :)

Few manicures from last month

2011-06-09T20:00:00.000+02:00

Danes vam bom pokazala nekaj manikur, ki sem jih nosila pred kratkim.

Today I will show you some manicures I wore recently.

Za prvo izmed njih sem uporabila OPI DS Extravagance lakec. Najprej sem ga nosila dva dni, ampak je bil preveč lep, da bi ga odstranila zaradi nekaj okruškov. Zato sem z gobico na konice dodala lakec China Glaze Tickle My Triangle, nato pa prehode še potiskala s konad rožicami in China Glaze Millenium lakcem.

For the first one I used OPI DS Extravagance nail polish. I wore it for itself for two days and it chipped a bit, but it was too beautiful to remove so soon. That's why I added China Glaze Tickle My Triangle with sponge on my tips and then I stamped it with konad flowers and China Glaze Millenium nail polish.

Za naslednjo sem uporabila OPI Red My Fortune Cookie, ampak v bistvu nisem pretirano navdušena nad krem finiši lakcev. Nekaj se pa mora svetiti. :) Zato sem na palce in prstance dodala majhne nalepke in vse skupaj premazala z Gosh Rainbow lakcem. Ampak kaj, ko se krpice niso hotele fotografirati... :(

For the next one I used OPI Red My Fortune Cookie, but I don't really like simple cream finishes of nail polishes, because I need some sparkle. :) So I added little stickers on my thumbs and ring fingers and then I painted over one coat of Gosh Rainbow. But the flakies didn't want to photograph... :(

Pri zadnji izmed manikur, ki vam jo bom pokazala, sem za bazo uporabila Color Club Gossip Column lakec. Dodala sem še nalepke na prstanca, nato pa vse skupaj premazala z lakcem Bichun 648, ki vsebuje manjše in večje opalne bleščice. Ker to še vedno ni bilo TO, sem stvar še bolj zakomplicirala in dodala še plast OPI Last Friday Night. Potem pa sem bila končno zadovoljna. Je bil že čas, kajne? ;)

For the last manicure that I'm going to show you today I used Color Club Gossip Column nail polish. I added some stickers on my ring fingers anf then I topped it with one coat of Bichun 648 nail polish. This one has gorgeous larger and smaller opalescent glitter in it! But that still wasn't IT, so I complicated it even more and added one coat of OPI Last Friday Night on top. Then I was pleased. Finally, it was about time, right? ;)

In tu je še bonus fotka, macro posnetek zgornje manikure.

And here is a bonus photo, macro shot from previous manicure.

Katera vam je najbolj všeč? Bi si želele videti še več takšnih manikur ali so vam bolj všeč samo swatchi lakcev?

Which one do you like the most? Would you like to see more photos like this or do you prefer swatches of polishes?

Franken Bluebell

2011-06-07T17:00:00.002+02:00

To je še eden izmed zmešančkov, ki ga je Anček naredila zame. :) Takšna kombinacija mi je najbolj všeč - izpod Ančkinih rok na moje nohte, hihi! ;D
Na prvi fotografiji je lakec pod umetno osvetlitvijo, na ostalih dveh pa sije sonček, ki prikaže holografski šimer. Na fotografiji sta dva sloja, na koncu pa sem dodala še vzorček s China Glaze Millennium lakcem.
Vam je tale zmešanček všeč?

This is one more franky that Anček made for me. :) I love this combination - from under Anček's arms on my nails, those are the best polishes, hihi! ;D
On the first photo you can see the polish under artificial light, but the next two photos are taken in the sun, so the holographic shimmer is even more visible. I added two coats and then I put on a flower with China Glaze Millennium polish.
Do you like this franky?

OPI Silver Shatter over Catrice Almost Black

2011-06-05T11:35:00.004+02:00

Če povem po pravici, me crackle manija ni pretirano zagrabila. Efekt je sicer v redu, vendar zanj ne bi porabila veliko denarja. Vse dokler nisem zagledala tega lepotca!... OPI Silver Shatter se mi zdi popoln, sploh preko temnejše podlage, za kar sem uporabila Catrice Almost Black lakec iz njihove starejše linije, ko stekleničke še niso bile okrogle.
Ta kombinacija mi je noro všeč, kako pa je všeč vam? :)

If I tell you the truth, crackle mania never got me that hard. Effect is nice and ok, but I would not spend much money on it. That was until I saw this beauty!... I think OPI Silver Shatter is just perfect for me and I like it the most over darker base. Here I used Catrice Almost Black nail polish from their old line, when bottles were not round yet.
I love this combination! And what do you think about it, do you like it? :)

Uf, za ta lakec nisem imela nobenih posebnih pričakovanj, ampak me je takoj popolnoma navdušil! Gre za čudovit temno vijoličen odtenek, ki je že skoraj črn, vsebuje pa srebrn, vijoličen in celo moder večji šimer. Ker je tudi cena nadvse prijetna, ga toplo priporočam, če ga kje zagledate. Zdaj pa k fotkam! :)

Wow, I didn't have big expectations about this polish, but it really blew my mind away! This is very gorgeous dark purple, almost black colour and there is a lot of bigger shimmer in silver, purple and even blue colour. It is very affordable too, so you really can't miss with buying this little gem, if you see it anywhere. And now let's go to the photos! :)

Zdelo se mi je, da bi lak zaradi velikega šimra, ki že skoraj meji na bleščice, dobro izgledal tudi zmatiran. Uporabila sem China Glaze Matte Magic in mislim, da se nisem zmotila, všeč sta mi obe verziji! Katera pa je bolj všeč vam?

Because of the huge shimmer that almost looks like glitter I thought this polish would look good mattified. I used China Glaze Matte Magic and I think I wasn't wrong. I really love both versions very much! And what do you think, which one looks better?

Essence polishes

2011-05-30T18:12:00.007+02:00

Nohtki so vedno živih barv, časa pa je bolj malo. Ampak toliko, da sem hitro "škljocnila" s fotoaparatom, ga je bilo pa vedno. Včeraj pa mi je uspelo fotografije še urediti, tako da vam bom danes pokazala predvsem starejše manikure z Essence lakci. Pa še kakšno nadgradnjo po vrhu. ;)

My nails are always colorful, but there is a huge lack of time. Luckily I still managed to capture most of my manicures and yesterday I had some time to sort the photos. So now I will show my older manicures with Essence nail polishes. And there will be some upgrades as well. ;)

Essence - Under the Mistletoe; Color Club - Where's the Soiree

Essence - Plum Perfect; China Glaze - Wireless

Essence - Spot On; Konad - White

Essence - Get The Fever; Color Club - Where's The Soiree

Essence - Iced Chai Latte

Essence - Very Berry; Color Club - Revvvolution

Tale zadnja je moja najljubša. :) Katera pa je nabolj všeč tebi?

I love this last one the most. :) And which one is your favorite?

Viva la nails

2011-05-25T17:33:00.005+02:00

S spletne trgovine viva la nails sem prejela set nalepk za nohte, ki se nanašajo s pomočjo vode.

I have received a sample package of water decal nail wraps from viva la nails

Vzorčki so mi zelo všeč, z nanašanjem pa tudi nisem imela prav nobenih težav, tako da že načrtujem nakup še kakšnega drugega motiva.

I really like these nail wraps because they are really easy to use and they lasted three days on me without chipping. So I will definitely buy them in other colors/designs too.

2011-02-27T19:05:00.003+01:00

Na ebayu sem naročila črn in moder crackle lak, ki sta me bolj kot ne razočarala, ampak z dosti truda mi je uspelo narediti lep vzorček. Na sliki je črn crakle lak preko OPI - Just Groovy modrega laka.

I have ordered blue and black crackle nail polish on ebay. I've had a lot of trouble with application but in the end I have managed to create a beautiful pattern. There is black crackle nail polish over OPI - Just Groovy on the picture.

Big news

2011-02-18T20:32:00.006+01:00

Zgodilo se je veliko, zaupati pa vam moram dve glavni stvari, ki sta moj teden popolnoma obrnili na glavo in nazaj! :)

Včeraj sem imela namreč zadnji izpit na faksu (študiram matematiko) in sem ga opravila! Tako zelo zelo zelo sem vesela, saj sem se ta štiri leta res veliko učila in se je splačalo! =D Sedaj me čaka samo še zaključni, diplomski izpit in zagovor diplomskega dela, ampak najprej si nameravam pošteno odpočiti. ;)

A lot happened to me lately, but I would really like to share two huge things that turned my week on the head and back again! :)

Yesterday I had my last exam at college (I study maths) and I passed it! I'm sooo sooo sooo happy because I studied so hard for four years and it's worth it! =D Now there is only my final degree exam and the presentation of my diploma, but I will rest a bit before I do that. ;)

Naslednja stvar pa je ravno tako nora - zmagala sem super giveaway!! :D

Karin z bloga Polish Pig je super! Nagrada vsebuje 6 Isadora Graffiti lakcev, ona pa mi je poslala še veliko ostalih luštnih stvari! =)

Najbolj smešno pri vsem tem pa je, da me zdaj ni doma in me ne bo nazaj še cel teden, ravno danes pa so prispeli te čudoviti lakci. Vseeno sem čisto navdušena, zato sem prosila atija, če mi jih lahko fotografira. :) Sedaj lahko tudi jaz samo občudujem te čudovite fotografije... Kaj pravite, ali se ni ati super izkazal? =D Ati, HVALA! =)

Zdaj pa... Itak, komaj čakam, da pridem domov. :D

And the next thing is so crazy too - I won a great giveaway!! :D

Karin from Polish Pig blog is so nice! The prize I won were 6 Isadora Graffiti nail polishes, but she sent me a lot of other goodies too! Thank you very much, sweetie! *huuugs*

The funny thing is that I am not at home and I will be away for a whole week and the polishes arrived today. But I was still very excited and I asked my dad if he can make some photos of those beauties and I just have to share them with you! He did an amazing job, didn't he? =D

Karin, I want to thank you again for making my last days of studying much more bearable! And now I just can't wait to come homeeeee! :D

Some glitters

2011-01-29T19:53:00.006+01:00

Živjo! Dolgo naju ni bilo na spregled in zelo nama je žal...
Vendar pa imam sedaj za vas nekaj fotografij bleščičastih lakcev, ki vam jih še nisem pokazala.

Hello! We were not blogging for a long time and we are sorry for that!
But today I have some photos of glittery nail polishes that I still haven't show them to you guys.

Amour, Rain Glitter

Art De Lautrec - 07B

Franky Purple Diamonds

Torej, kaj pravite? Če od sedaj naprej objaviva več fotografij in morda malo manj napiševa, je to še vedno bolje, kot da nič ne objaviva, kajne?
Hvala za ogled! =)

So, what do you think? If we post more pictures and maybe write a bit less - this is still better than not posting at all, right?
Thanks for watching! =)

Barry M - Instant Nail Effects

2010-11-27T23:31:00.004+01:00

Barry M - Instant Nail Effects je lak, ki po nanosu razpoka in pokaže plast ki je pod njim. Ker mi je efekt zelo všeč sem ga nanesla preko skoraj vsake manikure zadnje dni.

Barry M - Instant Nail Effects is a polish that crackles when dries and the layer beneath shows up. I really like it a lot, so I applied it over almost all of my manicures lately.

Danes imam za vas spet enega zmešančka, ki pa ga je ustvarila Kvacka, tako da bo ona povedala katere lakce je zmešala.

I have another franky for you today. Kvacka made it so she will have to tell us what she mixed in it.

Another Franky

2010-11-08T01:19:00.003+01:00

Tale zmešanček je star že več kot leto, vendar mi ni bil nikoli tako všeč da bi ga pokazala na blogu. Sedaj ga je nekaj časa imela celo Kvačka, vendar tudi nje ni prepričal zato je pristal nazaj pri meni.
Odločila sem se da mu dam še eno priložnost in seveda me je čisto prevzel. Barva se glede na svetlobo spreminja od vijolične na močnem sončku pa do rjave v senčki, v resnici pa je ravno nekje vmes.

I made this franken over a year ago but I did not really like it, so I decided to give it to my holo addict friend Kvacka but it was nothing special to her either so she returned it to me this week. Today I decided to give it another try and I was surprised by how much I like this polish. The color of it, is somewhere between purple and brown and it looks completely different in the sun than in the shade. It actually changes from holo purple to shimmery almost glittery brown.

Halloween Skittles

2010-10-30T18:05:00.003+02:00

Ker se nisem mogla odločiti kater oranžni lakec bi izbrala sem se odločila da uporabim kar vse.

I could not decide which orange nail polish to use for this manicure, so I ended up doing skittles with five colors.

Uporabljeni lakci z leve proti desni, na nohtih od mezinca do palca:
Nail polishes I have used, left to right and pinkie to thumb on the nails:

- Essence - Return to Paradise - Fruit Punch

- Essence - Cute as Hell - Bad Girl

- H&M - Neon Orange

- Revlon - Mad About Mango

- S-he - 402

Na koncu pa sem dodala še Barry M - Instant Nail Effects lakec
In the end I also added I coat of Barry M - Instant Nail Effects nail polish.

Manikura mi je zelo všeč, vendar mislim da bi bilo boljše če bi za podlago uporabila samo enega oranžkota.

I really like this manicure, but I wish that I would only use one orange nail polish.

Essence - Metallics

2010-10-28T21:31:00.003+02:00

z leve proti desni: / Left to right:

02 Copper Rulez!

01 Iron Godess

04 Nothing Else Metals
03 Steel Me

Lakci so zelo lepi, vendar si vseeno želim da si ne bi bili tako zelo podobni.

I really like all the polishes but I wish they were not that similar.

Essence - Metallics - Nothing Else Metals

2010-10-28T18:27:00.004+02:00

Nothing Else Metals je prvi pristal na mojih nohtih od štirih ki sem jih kupila iz Essence kolekcije Metallics. Lakec je magneten in z magnetom ki se ga lahko kupi poleg nastanejo črte na podlagi. Danes mi ni uspelo najboljše in upam da mi bo šlo do naslednjič boljše.

I bought four nail polishes from Essence Metallics collection and Nothing Else Metals is the first one that I polished on my nails. It is magnetic and I created lines on the surface of the nail with a magnet that I bought next to it. I think I need some more practice and I will try to make a nicer pattern with next polish.

Ta magnetni lakec je res zanimiv, v steklenički izgleda skoraj kot duochrome odtenek med modro in vijolično, v njem pa najdem tudi kanček zelene. Na nohtih je vidna pretežno modra barva. Po uporabi magnetka pa se na nohtu pojavijo temnejše modre proge. Meni je to totalno NOOOR lakec! :D
Kako pa je všeč vam?

This magnetic nail polish is really interesting. In the bottle it looks like a duochrome between blue and purple, but you can even see a hint of green in it. But it looks mostly blue on the nails. After using the magnet darker blue diagonal stripes appear. I think this is such a CRAAAZY polish! :D
And what do you think? Do you like it?

Franky

2010-10-19T10:44:00.000+02:00

Že kar nekaj časa nazaj mi je Tassa poslala tega čudovitega zmešančka, ki pa sem ga nekako pozabila objaviti. Barva je točno takšna kot sem si jo želela, potrebuje pa tri plasti, kar mi je tudi zelo všeč, saj na nohtih ne izgleda kredasto moder.

Tassa made this beautiful franky for me. It is just the color that I was looking for at the time and it needs three coats for perfect opacity. I like that it does not look like chalk on the nails.

Hvala Tassa!

Ena plast Bichun #617 laka z zlatimi, rdečimi in modrimi bleščicami preko krem sivega lakca Alessandro #265.

One coat of Bichun #617 gold, red and blue glitter in clear base over creme gray Alessandro #265.

Meni je kombinacija zelo všeč, se pa že veselim da sprobam slojenje preko črnega laka.

I really like this combo, and I am looking forward to trying this with a black base color.

Temu lepotcu delam krivico, ker fotografij nisem objavila že prej. Gre za čudovit temno rdeč odtenek z rdeče zlatim malo večjim šimrom, ki ima izjemen lesk. Lakec je tudi zelo prekriven, saj sta na fotografijah samo dve plasti. Vse so bile posnete pod umetno osvetlitvijo.

It is not right that I didn't post photos of this beauty much sooner. This is gorgeous dark red nail polish with larger golden red shimmer. It's very glossy and also very opaque, there are only two coats on the photos. They were all taken under artificial light.

Še bonus fotka (s China Glaze Delight). / And a bonus photo (with China Glaze Delight).

Uf, tale lakec mi je pa zelo všeč! :)
Mislim, da je to eden izmed lakcev, ki ga ni potrebno posebej predstavljati. Če mi je dovolj toplo, je lakec roza barve, če pa me zebe v roke, je vijoličen. Pri meni tako kar pogosto menjuje barvo. ;)

Wow, I really like this nail polish! :)
I believe this is one of the nail polishes everyone knows about and needs no introduction. :) If I'm feeling ok it's color is pink, but if my hands are cold, it turns to purple. So in my case it is shifting between the two colors a lot. ;)

Swap package from Canada

2010-09-28T14:11:00.007+02:00

Pred kratkim naju je razveselil ogromen swap paket, ki sva ga dobili iz Kanade! =))
Poslala nama ga je prijazna Skulda, ki piše blog Skulda's Claws. V paketku se je nahajalo ogromno lakcev in tudi sladkarij, vendar te žal niso uspele dočakati objave. *blush* So bile preveč dobre. ;))

A few days ago we were thrilled to see that we recieved a huge swap package from Canada! =))
It was sent to us from a very nice blogger Skulda from Skulda's Claws. Thank you sooo much, dear, for making us so happy! :)) In the package there were a lot of nail polishes and many candies, but unfortunately they didn't make it until this post. *blush* They were just too good! ;))

Catrice - From Dusk To Dawn

2010-09-22T20:49:00.005+02:00

Catrice - From Dusk To Dawn je lepotec, ki potrebuje dve plasti za popolno prekrivnost, z nanosom pa ni prav nobenih težav, saj je lak ravno prav gost.

Catrice - From Dusk To Dawn is a nice polish that only needs two coats to achieve perfect opacity. I also had no problems with the application.

Viva La Nails and Eko franken :)

2010-09-17T22:55:00.006+02:00

Pred časom sem tudi jaz dobila preizkusni paketek s spletne trgovine Viva La Nails, vendar je trajalo kar nekaj časa, preden sem preizkusila prve nalepke. Uporaba je zelo preprosta, končni izgled pa mi je zelo všeč.

A while ago I received a test package from Viva La Nails online store. But I didn't have much time to try it on right away, so I tried the first nail stickers now. They are very simple to use and I really like the final look.

Nalepke sem preizkusila preko tega zelenega holografskega lepotca, ki mi ga je za rojstni dan podarila Anček. Ko sem ga prvič nosila, mi je sodelavec rekel, da sem danes zelo "eko". Od tod zmešančku njegovo ime. :)

I tried the stickers out over the beautiful green holographic nail polish I got from Anček for my birthday. When I wore it for the first time, my co-worker said that I look very "eko" (eco) today. I liked that, so this is how this franky got it's name. :)

Milani - Hi-Res and comparison with China Glaze - Octa Gone Wild

2010-09-16T19:43:00.000+02:00

Hi-Res je eden izmed holografskih lakcev znamke Milani. Gre za nežno vijoličen odtenek, v katerem se nahaja ogromno večjega holografskega šimra. Za prekrivnost potrebuje tri plasti, fotografiji pa sta nastali pod umetno osvetlitvijo in nato še na sončku.

Hi-Res is one of the Milani holographic nail polishes. This is light purple nail polish with lots of larger holographic shimmer in it. It needs three coats for full opacity. First photo was taken under artificial light and the next one in the sun.

Hi-Res me je tako zelo spominjal na odtenek China Glaze - Octa Gone Wild iz Kaleidoscope kolekcije, da sem ju enostavno morala primerjati med sabo. Vendar fotografja žal ne prikaže čisto realnega stanja, saj Octa Gone Wild ni temnejši niti bolj prekriven. Morda pa je v njem zaznati malenkost več holografskega šimra, sicer pa sta si laka izredno podobna. Če ste torej zamudile kaleidoskopčka, je Hi-Res odličen približek. :)

Hi-Res reminded me of China Glaze - Octa Gone Wild from Kaleidoscope collection so much, that I just had to do the comparison between them. But unfortunately the photo is not truly realistic, because in reality Octa Gone Wild is not darker nor more opaque than Hi-Res. But there is a bit more of shimmer in the Octa Gone Wild, but other than that they are very similar. So if you missed the Kaleidoskope one out, then Hi-Res is a really good replacement. :)

Hi-Res, Octa Gone Wild, Hi-Res, Octa Gone Wild.

Starry Starry Night franky

2010-09-15T20:10:00.001+02:00

Essie - Starry Starry Night je eden izmed lakcev, ki mislim da ne bodo nikoli v moji zbirki, vendar glede na to da je moder in bleščičast sem ga seveda morala poskusiti poustvariti. Kako mi je uspelo pa presodite sami.

Starry Starry Night by Essie is one of those polishes that are just too hard to get. Anyway it is blue and glittery so I just had to try to franken it. What do you think about it, is it close enough?

Blue franky

2010-09-13T12:53:00.004+02:00

Prijazna uporabnica foruma ARS Mojcaaa mi je par dni nazaj namešala prečudovitega zmešančka, za katerem pa žal ne vem sestavin, saj so tudi zame skrivnost.
Lakec potrebuje 2 plasti, vendar sem dodala tretjo, s katero izgleda še lepše.

A very nice user of ARS forum Mojcaaa made this gorgeous franken for me. It is shimmery blue with some silver glitter. I do not know which polishes she mixed together so the ingredients are a secret to me too. There are three coats of nail polish on the photos that are all taken in the sun.

Holo comparisons: GR8, L8R G8R and Hi-Tech

2010-09-11T02:00:00.001+02:00

Danes imam za vas dve primerjavi.
Najprej sledita fotografiji dveh odtenkov znamke China Glaze iz OMG kolekcije - GR8 in L8R G8R. GR8 je zlate barve in je veliko bolj prekriven, na fotografijah sta dve plasti. Zanimivo je, da je to edini lakec iz te kolekcije, ki poleg holografskega šimra vsebuje tudi zlate bleščice, ki na nohtih sicer niso opazne, so pa zato pri odstranjevanju toliko bolj... L8R G8R pa je svetlo zelen in potrebuje vsaj tri plasti.
Meni sta oba odtenka presenetljivo veliko bolj všeč, kot pa sem pričakovala. :)

Today I have two comparisons for you.
First are the photos of two China Glaze nail polishes from the OMG collection - GR8 and L8R G8R. GR8 is gold and is a lot more opaque, there are only two coats on the photos. It is very interesting to me, that this is the only polish from this collection, which does not only have holographic shimmer in it, but also golden glitter. It is not noticeable on the nails, but the polish is as hard to remove as the other glitter polishes... L8R G8R is the pale green and needs at least three coats to be opaque.
I surprisingly like both of them a lot more than I have expected to. :)

V naslednji primerjavi pa sta se znašla lakca China Glaze L8R G8R in Milani Hi-Tech. V osnovni barvi sta si zelo podobna, velika razlika med njima pa je v holografskih delcih. Hi-Tech me spominja na kaleidoskočke iz China Glaze kolekcije zaradi močno razpršenega šimra. Nalakirala sem ga na kazalec in prstanec, na ostalih dveh prstih pa se nahaja L8R G8R.

My next comparison is between China Glaze L8R G8R and Milani Hi-Tech nail polishes. The base colour is pretty close on these two, but the holographic particles are very different. Hi-Tech reminds me on kaleidoscopes from China Glaze because of a lot more scattered shimmer. I have painted it on my index and ring finger and on the other two fingers there is L8R G8R.

Kateri vam je najbolj všeč? Če ste prave ljubiteljice holografskih odtenkov, tako kot jaz, potem pa nujno potrebujete vse tri. ;)

Which one do you like the best? But if you are true holographic freak as I am, you will need all three of them for sure. ;)

Essence - Colour & Go - 24 Underwater

2010-09-06T21:57:00.004+02:00

Lakec, ki Vam ga bom predstavila danes, je nekoliko drugačen. Našla sem ga pri naših sosedih na Hrvaškem in ker mi je bil odtenek neznan, sem si lakec tudi kupila. Sledilo pa je presenečenje, saj pri nas pod to številko in imenom prodajajo popolnoma drugačen odtenek! Ker ga sama nimam, sem malo pobrskala po spletu. Zelo lepo ga je predstavila soblogerka Lacquerized: KLIK. Moj lak ima sicer enako številko in ime, to pa je tudi vse, kar imata skupnega. Gre za dusty temno moder odtenek z veliko sive, ki izgleda krem, vendar pa se v njem skriva zelo droben živo moder šimer nepravilnih oblik, ki da laku globino. Precej različna, ali ne? :)

The polish I will show you today is a little bit unusual. I found it at our neighbours in Croatia and because I have never seen this pretty colour before, I bought the polish. And then there was a surprise, because they do sell this polish in our country too, but it is totally different! Because I don't own it, I have searched the net and I found a great post and photo of it from Lacquerized: CLICK. Mine has the exact same number and name, but that's all those polishes have in common. It is dark dusty blue with a lot of gray in it. It looks creme, but there are some tiny irregular shaped vivid blue shimmer particles, which give the depth to the polish. Pretty different, huh? :)

Essence - Denim Wanted

2010-09-01T17:30:00.000+02:00

Nova Essence omejena izdaja se imenuje Denim Wanted in na srečo mi je uspelo dobiti vse lakce razen rozastega, ki pa mi ni všeč.
Čisto vsi so zelo vredu pigmentirani in pri temnejšem modrem in črnem je dovolj že skoraj samo ena plast. Vseeno sem za vse slike nanesla dve plasti.

The newest Essence limited edition is called Denim Wanted and luckilly I managed to get all the polishes that I liked.
They are all very pigmented and dark blue and black only need one coat if you are careful, but I painted two coats of polish on my nails for the pictures just to be sure.

Glittery Franky

2010-08-31T20:58:00.000+02:00

Ker imam preveč vampy jelly lakcev, sem se odločila da v lakec Nivea - Vampire vmešam malo coastal scents holo bleščic. Nastal je prečudovit bleščičast lakec, katerega edini problem je odstranjevanje, saj sem se z njim kar konkretno namučila.

I have too many vampy jelly nail polishes, so I decided to mix some coastal scents glitter holographic glitter powder into Nivea - Vampire. The polish that I created is really beautiful but very hard to remove like most of the glitters.

Guppy #29

2010-08-30T21:30:00.000+02:00

Lep pozdrav po dolgem času še od mene.
Na dopustu sem poslikala zelo veliko manikur, vseeno pa še vedno nimam veliko časa za objavljanje in urejanje fotk. Vendar pa sem se odločila da le moram nekaj objaviti po več kot mesecu dni.
Današnji odtenek dneva je lakec Guppy številka 29, ki sem ga nato nadgradila še s konadom. Lakec je jelly, zato se na sliki vidi konica, kar pa v živo sploh ni tako zelo očitno.

Hello from me too, after a long time.
On vacation I have photographed a lot of manicures, anyway I still do not have the time to edit and post them online so I decided to only show you my nails of the day for now.
It is a Guppy nail polish that has a jelly finish, so there is a little of visible nail line on the photo, and luckily it is not really visible in real life. I also added konad with silver polish and Bundle monster plate.

China glaze OMG collection

2010-08-28T22:26:00.006+02:00

Pozdravljene po dolgem času!
Najprej se vam želiva opravičiti, ker tako dolgo nisva nič objavljali. Zadnji mesec dni je bil za naju zelo naporen in nehote nama je zmanjkalo časa za objave na blogu. Ampak brez skrbi, nohtke si še vedno z veseljem urejava in materiala za objavo imava kar nekaj... ;)
Danes imam za vas fotografije manikure, ki je nastala že nekaj časa nazaj. Uporabila sem 6 lakcev iz China Glaze OMG kolekcije. Najprej sem na nohte nanesla 2 plasti nežno roza BFF lakca, potem pa sem z gobico narahlo nanašala še druge odtenke: srebrn OMG, vijoličen LOL, moder 2NITE, živo roza QT in nazadnje še breskov TTYL. Na nohtih je tako nastala prava eksplozija barv, ki pa je na sončku še bolj zaživela.
Ali vam je manikura všeč? Ali sem ga totalno biksnila mimo? ;)

Hello after a really long time!
At first we want to apologize for not posting for so long! We were really busy the last month and we unintentionally ran out of time for blogging. But don't worry, ladies, we still love to do our nails and we have plenty material to post... ;)
Today I have some photos of a previous manicure I wore some time ago. I used 6 China Glaze nail polishes from OMG collection. At first I painted my nails with soft pink BFF nail polish, I used 2 coats. Then I used a sponge technique and gently applied other colours: silver OMG, purple LOL, blue 2NITE, hot pink QT and the last one was peachy TTYL. This is how I got the explosion of colours on my nails, which was even more crazy in the sun.
Do you like this manicure? Or do you think it's totally over the top? ;)

Guppy blues

2010-07-28T10:32:00.000+02:00

Na ebayu sem naročila štiri Guppy lakce in nad vsemi štirimi sem zelo navdušena! Prve tri vam bom predstavila danes, zadnjega pa kdaj drugič. Ti trije so vsi popolnoma prekrivni z eno plastjo, vendar tudi druga ne škodi, saj lakec samo še polepša.

I've ordered four Guppy nail polishes on ebay and I really like them all. First three are all completely opaque in one coat and these three I will show you today. Anyway the second coat actually just makes the color deeper so you can add another coat to be safe.

Franky

2010-07-24T11:43:00.003+02:00

Nekaj časa nazaj sem si zaželela malo temnejšo različico lakca China Glaze - Rodeo Fanatic in nastal je tale zmešanček.
Jaz mislim da mi je kar dobro uspelo, kako pa se zdi vam?

I have decided to make a darker version of China Glaze - Rodeo Fanatic nail polish and this franken was created.
I really like it, what do you think?

China Glaze - L8R G8R

2010-07-23T06:38:00.003+02:00

China Glaze - L8R G8R je svetlo zelen holo lakec, ki na sončku zažari v vsej svoji lepoti. Ob slikanju ga je bilo žal malo manj tako da se ne vidi kako zelo opazen je holo efekt.

China Glaze - L8R G8R is a light green holographic nail polish that is really amazing in the sun, but that was sadly quite weak on the day that I photographed it.

Barry M - Spring Green

2010-07-22T07:01:00.000+02:00

Danes imam za vas lakec, ki mi ga je poslala prijazna Maja s spletne trgovine Ličila.si. Lak je skoraj prekriven v eni plasti, vendar sem za popolno prekrivnost vseeno nanesla dve plasti, saj nisem bila dovolj previdna. Barva je bolj realna na prvi sliki, saj fotoaparat na sončku ni hotel ujeti kako živa je barva v resnici.

I will show you a polish that I have received from online store Ličila.si. Spring Green is a bright green that is hard to capture on a photo so the color is more accurate on first photo.
I applied two layers of polish, but one would be enough if I was more careful.

Viva La Nails water decals

2010-07-21T11:05:00.001+02:00

Nekaj časa nazaj sem dobila za preizkusiti paketek s spletne trgovine Viva La Nails, danes pa sem končno našla čas in sprobala nalepkice, ki se prenesejo na noht s pomočjo vode in res izgledajo fenomenalno. Nanos pa je tudi presenetljivo preprost.

A while ago I have received a package from Viva La Nails online store to try out. Finally I have found some time and I have tested their water decals, they are trully amazing and simple to apply.

Milani - Totally Cool

2010-07-20T22:22:00.002+02:00

Lakec Milani - Totally Cool mi je bil vedno všeč na vseh slikah, vendar sem malo dvomila vanj, saj je zelo neprekriven. Ko sem ga končno dobila sem se zato odločila da ga sprobam preko podobnega prekrivnega odtenka. To je bila zelo dobra ideja, saj je na sliki samo ena plast Totally Cool laka.

I allways liked Milani - Totally Cool nail polish on photos, but I had doubts about it's opacity so I tried it over an opaque polish with similar base color. It turned out to be a really good idea so there is only one coat of the Milani polish on the photos.

Mislim da sem pravkar odkrila svoj nov najljubši lakec!
I think I just found my new favourite polish!

Sally Hansen - Ocean View

2010-07-16T11:23:00.002+02:00

Sally Hansen - Ocean View je svetlo moder šimrast lakec z rahlim frost finišem, ki pa ni preveč moteč saj mi je lakec kljub temu zelo všeč ter je brez dvoma nekaj posebnega v moji zbirki.

Sally Hansen - Ocean View is a light blue shimmery nail polish with a slight frost finish that does not bother me at all and it is still one of my favourites and very unique in my colection.

OPI - Who The Shrek Are You?

2010-07-15T12:25:00.000+02:00

Who The Shrek Are You? je zadnji in moj najljubši lakec iz Shrek Forever After kompletka minijev. Barva je zanimiva umazano zelena, čisto takšna kot Shrek :) .

Who The Shrek Are You? is last and my favourite nail polish from the Shrek Forever After minis. The color is very interesting and unique dirty green, just like Shrek :).

OPI lakce lahko kupite v spletni trgovini zapikonai.

Nubar - Jewel

2010-07-14T20:50:00.000+02:00

Tu je še drugi izmed mojih dveh Nubarčkov - Jewel. Gre za rjav odtenek, ki izgleda, kot bi se želel prelivati v rožnato barvo, vendar mu še ne bi rekla duochrome. Zraven pa je še veliko holografskega glitra, ki lakec naredi popolnoma unikaten.

And here is the second one of my two Nubar polishes - Jewel. This is a brown colour that looks like it wants to be pinky, but I wouldn't call it duochrome. And in there is thrown a lot of holographic glitter, which makes this polish totally unique.

OPI - Fiercely Fiona

2010-07-14T00:01:00.002+02:00

Fiercely Fiona je predzadnji odtenek iz Shrek Forever After kompletka minijev. Lakec je rumene barve z zelo rahlim zelenim podtonom, ki se prikaže šele v primerjavi z nevtralno rumeno barvo. Na slikah so tri plasti laka.

Fiercely Fiona third shade from Shrek Forever After minis. This nail polish is yellow with a slight green undertone, that is seen only when compared to a neutral yellow color. There are three coats of polish on the photos.

Ta lakec in še veliko drugih lahko kupite v spletni trgovini zapikonai.

"drowned" manicure :)

2010-07-13T00:27:00.003+02:00

Idejo za tole manikuro sem pobrala pri Maestri z Parokeets, ki ji je po pravici povedano izvedba dosti boljše uspela, kot meni.
Uporabila sem lakca: Essence Shiny Star in Avon - Cherry Jubilee, nad manikuro ne bom obupala in bom naslednjič poskusila s temnejšim in bolj jelly lakcem.

This manicure was inspired by similar but a lot better created manicure by Maestra from Parokeets. I have used Avon - Cherry Jubilee and Essence - Shiniy Star nail polishes. Even though the manicure did not turn out as I wanted it to, I still like it and I will try to do it again with a darker jelly nail polish.

pa še dve slikici posneti na sončku, po tem ko sem imela manikuro na nohtkih že tri dni. Žal nisem uspela poslikati manikure v vsej svoji lepoti, saj je v resnici izgledala dosti bolj podobna maestrinim slikam kot mojim.
two more pictures, these two were taken in the sun after wearing this manicure for three day already. I did not sucess in taking a realistic picture of this manicure, it looked a lot more like on photos of Maestra.

OPI - Rumple’s Wiggin’

2010-07-12T23:11:00.000+02:00

OPI - Rumple’s Wiggin’ je svetlo vijoličen krem lakec, ki pa žal za popolno prekrivnost potrebuje tri plasti. Vsekakor pa je barva tako lepa da vse odtehta :).

OPI - Rumple’s Wiggin’ is a nice light purple creme nail polish that sadly takes three coats to achieve opacity, but the color is so beautiful that it is definitely worth it.

Ta lakec in še veliko drugih lahko kupite v spletni trgovini zapikonai.

Nubar - Purple Beach

2010-07-12T18:44:00.000+02:00

Za vas imam fotografije enega od mojih dveh Nubarčkov, in sicer vijolično zelenega duochrome odtenka Purple Beach. Lakec vsebuje veliko vijoličnega in zelenega šimra, na fotografijah so tri plasti, vse pa so nastale na sončku. Žal mi zelene barve ni uspelo najbolje ujeti...

Here are the photos of one of my two Nubar polishes - purple green duochrome colour called Purple Beach. In it there is a lot of purple and green shimmer, there are three coats on the photos and they are all made in the sun. Unfortunately I could not capture the green colour...

Barry M - Racing Green

2010-07-11T20:35:00.006+02:00

Zopet imam za vas fotografije Barry M lakca, tokrat gre za enega izmed odtenkov, ki so po novem na voljo v spletni trgovini Ličila.si, in sicer je to Racing Green. Lakec je temno zelene barve z zelenim šimrom in je v moji zbirki edini izmed lakcev te znamke, ki nima krem finiša. Želela sem si ga že dlje časa in ni me razočaral. Po prebiranju tujih blogov sem pričakovala, da bo nekoliko voden, vendar v mojem primeru ni tako. Lakec je popolnoma prekriven v dveh slojih in nanos je neproblematičen. Čopič je enak kot pri ostalih lakih te znamke, torej ravno pravšnje velikosti zame. Vse fotografije so bile posnete na sončku. Meni je noro všeč, kako pa se zdi vam?

I have photos of Barry M polish again, this is the colour Racing Green. I got it from slovenian web shop called Ličila.si and it is one of their newest colours. This is dark green nail polish with green shimmer and it is the only Barry M nail polish in my collection, which is not creme. I wanted it for a longer time and now I'm really happy I got it, it didn't dissapoint me. After reading some blogs I was expecting it to be a bit sheer, but in my case it wasn't. It's perfectly opaque in two coats and it went on like butter. The brush is perfect to me, not too big nor too small. All photos were taken in the sun. I love it! And what do you think?

Zahvaljujem se prijazni Maji z Ličila.si, ki mi je poslala ta lakec! Maja, super si! :)

OPI - What’s With the Cattitude?

Kvacka vam je celo kolekcijo OPI - Shrek Forever After - Shrek-tacular minis že predstavila, sedaj pa vam jo bom še jaz, vsak lakec posebaj.
What’s With the Cattitude? je svetlo moder pastelen odtenek, ki potrebuje tri plasti za popolno prekrivnost. Z nanosom nisem imela problemov, so pa se mi pojavili mehurčki, ki sem jih s pomočjo nadlaka na srečo odpravila.
Shrek minije lahko kupite v spletni trgovini Za piko na i.

Now I will show you all of the polishes from this colection in seperate posts.
What’s With the Cattitude? is a light blue shade that needed three coats for perfect opacity. I did not have any problems at applying nail polish, but there was some bubbles that I got rid of with a top coat.

Essence blue and greens

2010-07-10T13:28:00.000+02:00

Prihaja Essence spam modrih in zelenih lakcev. In tudi vseh tistih vmes. :)
To niso le swatchi, ampak so bili lakci nošeni kot manikure, ki jih nikoli nisem imela čas objaviti. Danes pa se mi zdi ravno pravi dan za to. :)

Here is Essence spam with blue and green polishes. And everything in between. :)
This are not swatches, I wore every polish as a full manicure, but I never had enough time to post the pictures. But today is just the right day to do that. :)

S-he - 500 in OPI DS - Desire

2010-07-08T15:03:00.000+02:00

Najprej imam za vas fotografijo S-he lakca št. 500, ki je eden izmed novejših. Gre za rjavkast / taupe odtenek. Na fotografiji sta 2 plasti, posneta je bila na sončku. Zelo je podoben laku Essence Desert Fox iz kolekcije Into The Wild, ki si ga lahko ogledate TUKAJ.

Firstly I have a photo of S-he nail polish No. 500, this is one of the newest. It's brownish / taupe colour, there are two coats on the photos and the photo was taken in the sun. It is very similar to the Essence Desert Fox nail polish from Into The Wild collection, which you can see HERE.

Ampak seveda jaz ne bi bila jaz, če manikure pozneje ne bi nadgradila. Po možnosti s holografskim lakom. :) Dodala sem eno plast OPI DS Desire, sledijo si fotografije z bliskavico, v senci in na koncu še na sončku, kjer mi je bila manikura tudi najbolj všeč.

But it wouldn't be me if I didn't layer something over. If this polish is holographic - even better. :) I added one coat of OPI DS Desire. Following photos are taken with flash, in the shadow and in the sun, where I liked this manicure the most.

Sponge manicure with LOL, IDK in 2NITE

2010-07-06T21:57:00.000+02:00

To je moja prva "uspešna" sponge manikura, ki sem jo naredila iz holografskih China Glaze lakcev.
Najprej sem na nohte nanesla dve plasti temno vijoličnega odtenka LOL, nato pa sem se lotila gobice. Ideja je bila, da bi z njo najprej nanesla svetlo vijoličen IDK, čisto na konice pa še svetlo moder 2NITE. Seveda se je vse skupaj ponesrečilo, kot ponavadi. LOL in IDK sta meni preveč različna in moji nohti so izgledali, kot da sem jih namočila v aceton in se LOL ni popolnoma odstranil z nohtov. V glavnem GROZNO. :(
Ampak vseeno nisem odnehala, zato sem IDK z gobico nanesla preko celega nohta in dobila sem zelo zanimiv izgled, kot da bi mi IDK "malo zarjavel". :) To mi je bilo pa všeč in na konice sem nanesla še 2NITE. Seveda na koncu tega nisem mogla dobro fotografirati, tako da se boste mogle žal zadovoljiti z zanič posnetki. :S Ampak v živo izgleda krasno! :D

This is my first "successful" sponge manicure. I used holographic China Glaze nail polishes for it.
At the beginning I painted my nails in two coats of dark purple LOL and then I used a sponge. My idea was to apply light purple IDK at first and later light blue 2NITE on my tips. Ofcourse it didn't turn out well, as usual. LOL and IDK were too different to me and my nails looked like I soaked them in acetone for a while and LOL wasn't completely removed. Well, HORRIBLY. :(
But I didn't give up, so I sponged IDK over the whole nails and the result was very interesting to me. It looked like IDK was a bit rusty, but not in red, in purple way. Does that make any sense? :) Well, I actually liked that, so I put 2NITE on my tips. Ofcourse at the end I couldn't photograph this properly, so unfortunately you will see only crappy photos. :S But in reality it looks great! :D

Silver holographic comparison, the answer :)

Mislim, da vam dolgujem odgovor na včerajšnje vprašanje. :)
Na fotografijah so sledeči lakci v enakem vrstnem redu (od zgoraj navzdol):

Sally Hansen - Nail Prisms - Diamond,
Nfu-Oh - 61,
China Glaze - OMG,
Color Club Worth the Risque.

I think I owe you an answer to yesterday's question. :)
On the photos there are following polishes (from top to bottom):

Sally Hansen - Nail Prisms - Diamond,

China Glaze - OMG,
Color Club Worth the Risque.

Color Club - Worth the Risque + comparison

2010-07-04T23:10:00.006+02:00

Pred kakšnim tednom dni sem imela na nohtih Worth the Risque, srebrn holografski odtenek znamke Color Club. Ko sem ga nanesla na nohte pod umetno osvetlitvijo, se mi je holo učinek zdel zelo šibak in komaj sem čakala na naslednji dan, da ga vidim na sončku. Žal me je lakec tudi takrat kar malce razočaral, saj je mavrica zelo slabo vidna... :( Lakec je sicer še vedno lep, ampak po fotografijah z ostalih blogov nisem pričakovala samo lepega lakca, temveč norega! :S

About a week ago I was wearing Color Club Worth the Risque, silver holographic nail polish on my nails. The holo effect was not very visible under artificial light when I put it on, so I was really excited to see it in the sun the next day. Unfortunately I was even more dissapointed, because the rainbow was really very very subtle... :( This is still a nice polish, but because of seeing it on other blogs I wasn't expecting just nice one, but crazy one! :S

Umetna osvetlitev. / Artificial light.

Sonce. / Sun.

Kmalu nato sem se odločila, da naredim primerjavo med tem lakcem in nekaterimi ostalimi holografskimi srebrnimi sivkoti. Ostale mavrice so se mi namreč zdele veliko bolj pisane in imela sem prav. Vsi lakci so nanešeni v treh slojih. Ali lahko uganete, kateri so sodelovali v primerjavi poleg Worth the Risque? Za pomoč je steklenička enega izmed njih na spodnji fotografiji. :)

Just a little while later I decided to do a comparison with the Color Club and other silvery/grey holographic nail polishes I own. I thought that the other raibows would be much more visible and I was right. I did three coat of each nail polish. Can you guess, which polishes I was comparing? For a little help - one of them is Worth the Risque and there is a bottle of another one in my hand on the photo below. :)

Finger Paints - Blissfully Blue and China Glaze - Matte Magic

2010-07-01T17:49:00.005+02:00

Danes imam za vas obljubljene fotografije lakca Finger Paints v odtenku Blissfully Blue. Gre za krem pastelno modro barvo, ki je bila presenetljivo super enostavna za nanašanje! Če bi bila previdna, bi jo lahko odnesla že z eno plastjo, vendar nisem bila, zato sta na fotografijah dve plasti. Steklenička mi je izredno lepe oblike, čopič je ravno prav velik in ni sploščen, lak pa je zelo prekriven. Lakcev te znamke si moram očitno priskrbeti še več! :)

Today I will show you my photos of Finger Paints Blissfully Blue nail polish. This is pastel light blue creme and it was super easy to apply! If I have been more careful, I could get away with just one coat, but I wasn't, so there are two coats on the photos. This polish is super opaque and I love that! The bottle is very pretty to me too and the brush is not flat and it's not too big. I have to get more of these beauties from Finger Paints! :) Jess, thank you so so much, I loved the color in the bottle right away, but on the nails it's even better! :)

Pretty little box

2010-06-30T13:46:00.005+02:00

Danes me je poštar zelo razveselil! Prinesel mi je prekrasen majhen paketek z rožicami iz Amerike. :) Paketek je darilo prijazne blogerke jbrobeck (polish insomniac), ker sem pravilno odgovorila na vprašanje, ki ga je zastavila na svojem blogu.

The mailman made me very happy today! He brought me a beautiful little flowery package from America. :) This is a gift from a very lovely blogger jbrobeck (polish insomniac), because I correctly answered the question she asked on her blog.

Nagrada je Finger Paints lakec, odtenek Blissfully Blue, ki je prvi lakec te znamke v moji zbirki in mi je izredno všeč! V paketku pa me čakalo še presenečenje, in sicer China Glaze Matte Magic nadlak! =))

The prize is my first Finger Paints nail polish in colour Blissfully Blue which I love! And there was a surprise in the package too: China Glaze Matte Magic top coat! =)) Jessika, you're so sweet and I would really like to THANK YOU very, very much! You made my day!

And Rolling Rock ROCKS! =D

Colorful manicures

2010-06-29T01:57:00.003+02:00

Zadnje čase mi navadne manikure niso ravno najbolj zanimive, zato sem poskusila dve malo bolj nenavadni kombinaciji. Obe sta narejeni s samimi holografskimi zmešančki.
Lately I'm not really too excited about ordinary one color manicures, so I tried two little more unusual combinations. Both of them are made with my holographic frankens.

Zgornja manikura je nastala med ustvarjanjem zmešančkov, vendar mi je bila na koncu tako všeč da je ostala na nohtih kar nekaj časa. Vseeno pa mi je spodnja bolj všeč in mislim da jo bom zelo kmalu poustvarila z drugimi barvami.

First manicure was created while I was swatching my new frankens, but it stayed on my nails for a while as I quite liked it. Anyway, I liked the second one even more and I will recreate it again with diferent colors.

Kaj pa vi mislite o mojih pisanih manikurah?
And what do you think about my colorful manicures?
