Essence - Oh My Glitter!

Essence - Oh My Glitter! je zelo lep vijoličen lak, popoln za pomlad in poletje. Na sliki so tri plasti, brez nadlaka.

Essence - Oh My Glitter! is a nice purple glass flecked nail polish, perfect for spring and summer. It took three coats for perfect opacity.

Essence - Crazy Good Time - Colourbration

Essence - Colourbration sem nanesla preko Catrice - Sold Out Forever, vendar mislila da bi ga lahko imela tudi samega, saj se je izkazalo, da je bolj prekriven kot sem pričakovala.

I have applied Essence - Crazy Good Time - Colourbration over Catrice - Sold Out Forever nail polish, but it turned out I could wear it on it's own, because it is way less sheer than I expected.

Colorful Leopard

Moj prvi poskus leopard manikure :)

My first attempt at a leopard manicure.

Za podlago sem uporabila Essence - Crystalliced - Frosted Champaign

I used Essence - Crystalliced - Frosted Champaign nail polish as a base

Za pike sem uporabila Kleancolor neonske lake in pa črno akrilno barvo za črtice.

I used Kleancolor Neon nail polishes for the dots and black acrylic color for the outline.

Daleč od popolnosti, ampak meni je bila zelo všeč. Naslednjič se bom pa še bolj potrudila =)

It's far from perfect, but I liked it a lot and I'll try to do better next time :)

Two swaps with Anna from Pretty Digits

Z Anno, ki piše blog Pretty Digits, sva do zdaj naredili že dve menjavi in poslala mi je nekaj čudovitih lakcev! V prvem paketku so me čakali naslednji lepotci:

With Anna from Pretty Digits we made two swaps until now and I recieved some amazing polishes! In the first package there were those beauties:

Models own - Pinky Brown, Models Own - Purple Blue, Revlon - Craving Coral, Nail Xtras - 17, 2x Max Factor - Fantasy Fire

Models own - Pinky Brown

Models Own - Purple Blue

Color Club - Where's the Soiree, Nail Xtras - 17

Revlon - Craving Coral

Essence - Season of Extreme - It's Two Bright, Max Factor - Fantasy Fire

Zatem pa sem od nje prejela še drugi paketek, poln bleščičastih lakcev!!! =) Škoda, da takšnih kompletkov ne prodajajo tudi pri nas, kaj pravite? ;)

After this I recieved another package from her and it was full of glittery nail polishes!!! =) This set is great and I wish they were selling them here where I live as well. ;)

Color Club - "Glitter Vixen" set

Do zdaj mi je uspelo nositi le enega izmed teh lakcev, in sicer modrega, za katerega sumim, da gre za odtenek Beyond The Mistletoe. Tale kompletek je namreč zanimiv zato, ker pravzaprav sploh ne gre za pravo Glitter Vixen omejeno izdajo, ampak so v njem na videz naključni lakci brez nalepk z imeni. Meni pa so še bolj všeč, ker vsebujejo tudi holooo bleščice! =)) Bleščičast lakec sem nanesla preko odtenka S-he 471, najprej en sloj, potem pa sem dodala še dva, torej skupno tri.

I only managed to wear one of these polishes by now and I chose the blue one. I think this shade could be Beyond The Mistletoe colour, but I'm not sure. This set is very interesting to me because of the fact that it doesn't really include polishes from Glitter Vixen limited edition, but seemingly random polishes without their true names. But I like those even more, because they have holooo glitter! =)) First I put on S-he 471 nail polish as a base and then I put one coat of this blue glitter over it. After I took first photos I decided to put on two more coats, so there are three coats of blue glitter polish at the end.

S-He - 471, Color Club - Beyond The Mistletoe (1 sloj/coat)

S-He - 471, Color Club - Beyond The Mistletoe (3 sloji/coats)

Upam, da so vam moji swatchi všeč. Kateri lakec je vaš najljubši? Ste morda pri nas vseeno kje opazile takšne Color Club kompletke?

I hope you like my swatches. Which nail polish is your favorite? And Anna, I would like to thank you so much for making me happy with so many new polishes. I love them sooo much, THANK YOU!!! *hugs*

Hunt Me If You Can

Iz te kolekcije me je najbolj prepričal odtenek Into The Dark. Zanimivo, najprej sem mislila, da mi bo najbolj všeč True Love ali pa The Dawn is Broken, vendar je na koncu zmagal moder lakec. =) Kateri pa je tvoj favorit?

From this collection I liked Into The Dark shade the most. Interestingly, at first I thought that I would most like True Love or The Dawn is Broken, but ultimately the blue nail polish won. =) And which one is your favorite?

Pupa 606 and Deborah Shine Tech 56

Pupa 606 je lakec, ki v steklenički izgleda noro čudovito. Gre za temno rdeče-vijoličen odtenek z večjim šimrom, ki spreminja barvo glede na osvetlitev. Na prvi pogled je roza, preliva pa se v zlato, zeleno, modro in vijolično barvo. Na žalost ta efekt na nohtih ni opazen, vendar me je lakec vseeno navdušil. Prekrivnost je odlična, zadoščal bi že en sloj, vendar sem iz navade nanesla dva.

Pupa 606 is a nail polish which in the bottle looks insanely beautiful. It is a dark red-purple color with glass flecked shimmer that changes color depending on the lighting. At first glance it looks pink, but it shifts to gold, green, blue and purple color. Unfortunately, this effect is not noticeable on the nails, but I was still very impressed with this polish. Coverage was excellent, it was opaque in one coat, but I added two just out of habit.

Deborah Shine Tech odtenek številka 56 pa je turkizen odtenek z večjim zlatim, rumenim in zelenim šimrom. Čeprav imam v zbirki nekaj podobnih odtenkov, sem že nekajkrat posegla prav po tem laku, na nohtih namreč s tremi sloji izgleda veliko bolj živahen od ostalih. Svetlika se v vseh svetlobnih pogojih, tako na soncu, kot tudi v temnejših prostorih in velikokrat sem se zalotila, kako opazujem svoje nohte in jih obračam, da bi se bleščal še bolj. :)

Deborah Shine Tech nail polish number 56 is turquoise with golden, yellow and green glass flecked shimmer. Even though I have some similar nail polishes in my collection, I have worn this particular polish for several times, because with three coats it looks much more vibrant on the nails than others. It is sparkling in all lighting conditions, so in the sun, as well as in dark rooms, and often I caught myself staring at my nails and flipping them to see even more sparkles. :)

In kaj imata ta dva lakca skupnega? S potovanja mi ju je prinesel moj ati. Še vedno težko verjamem! =) Hihihi, glede na njegovo izbiro odtenkov sem vedno bolj prepričana, da na skrivaj bere moj blog! ;)

And what do these two nail polishes have in common? Both of them were a gift from my dad from his trip. It's still hard to believe! =) Hihihi, according to his choice of the shades I'm becoming increasingly convinced that he secretly reads my blog! ;)

Kiko 255 and 278

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! =)
