Čez zadnjo manikuro sem nanesla še Constance Carroll Aqua Sparkle modro zelene bleščice. Ta manikura je ravno primerna za trenutne vremenske razmere, pri nas je zapadlo včeraj približno pol metra snega. :) Ali ga imate tudi ve tako zelo rade? :)

I put one coat of Constance Carroll Aqua Sparkle blue and green glitter over my last manicure. It is very appropriate for the weather we are having right now - yesterday we got about a half of meter of new snow. :) Do you like snow as well? :)

Guest post at Raggio di Luna Nails

Danes sem gostja na blogu Raggio di Luna nails, kjer si lahko ogledate mojo trenutno manikuro. Raggio, hvala za to čudovito priložnost in zanimivo izkušnjo! =)

Today I'm a guest blogger at Raggio di Luna Nails, where you can see my nails of the day. Raggio, thank you for this wonderful opportunity and a great experience! =)

Guest post: Raggio di Luna Nails

Danes nas bo s svojo manikuro razveselila Raggio di Luna z bloga Raggio di Luna Nails. Raggio se ukvarja z okraševanjem nohtov na vse možne načine in ko mislim, da sem videla že vse, me spet preseneti s kakšno popolnoma novo idejo! Pa poglejmo, kaj je pripravila za nas.

Today we will be delighted by manicure from Raggio di Luna from friends Raggio di Luna Nails blog. Raggio is engaged to decorate nails in every possible way, and when I think I've seen all she surprises me again with some brand new idea! Here's what she had prepared for us.

Oggi sono ospite di Kvacka, la mia carissima cugina e amica blogger.
Per lei ho preparato una manicure che ho chiamato “Dot-crossroad”. La particolarità di questa manicure è che l’ho creata utilizzando gli smalti ricevuti nel mio pacchettino sorpresa avuto da Kvacka a gennaio.
Kvacka, grazie sia per il pacchettino con i bellissimi smalti che mi hai mandato, sia per avermi ospitato sul tuo blog. Spero di ripetere questa eccitante esperienza al più presto possibile! :-)

Danas sam gost kod Kvačke, moje drage rođake i prijateljice blogerke.
Za nju sam pripremila jednu manikuru koju sam nazvala „Dot-crossroad“. Zanimljivost ove manikure je da sam je napravila koristeći lakove za nokte iz mog paketića iznenađenja dobijenog od Kvačke u januaru.
Kvačka, hvala i za paketić sa prekrasnim lakovima koje si mi poslala, a i za to što si mi pružila priliku da gostujem na tvom blogu. Nadam se da ćemo uskoro ponoviti ovo uzbudljivo iskustvo! :-)

Today I am the guest of Kvacka, my dear cousin and blogger friend.
For her I created a manicure called “Dot-crossroad”. It is particular because I created it using nail polishes from the surprise package which I got from Kvacka in January.
Kvacka, thank you for the surprise package with all the beautiful nail polishes that you sent me, and thank you also for giving me the opportunity to be a guest on your blog. I hope to repeat this exciting experience as soon as possible! :-)

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 232 in 304

Danes vam bom pokazala še preostala Kiko lakca iz paketka presenečenja, ki sem ga prejela v začetku leta. Prvi od njiju je Kiko 232 oziroma Sparkle T. Biege Glitter, kot je navedeno na Kiko spletni strani. Gre za prosojen odtenek, ki je poln bleščic oziroma majhih krpic v kožni in roza barvi. Roza bleščice je bilo precej težko fotografirati, zato je druga slika zamegljena, ker so tako bolj opazne. Odtenek sem na fotografijah slojila čez krem Manhattan lak 95E kožne barve, vendar sem ga nosila tudi že samega. Polne prekrivnosti tako ni mogoče doseči, vendar je bil lakec vseeno zelo primeren, saj se mi je takrat precej mudilo, nohte pa sem imela vseeno nalakirane. ;)

Today I will show you the last two Kiko nail polishes from my surprise package, which I recieved in the begining of the year. The first of these is Kiko 232 or Sparkle T. Biege Glitter, as indicated on the Kiko website. It is a translucent shade full of biege and pink glitter or smaller flakies. Pink glitter was quite difficult to photograph, so the second picture is blurred because the glitter is way more noticeable. On the photos I layered this shade over Manhattan 95E creme nude nail polish, but I already wore it by itself as well. It is not fully opaque, but the polish was still very appropriate, because I was quite in a hurry, but my nails were still painted. ;)

Naslednji je Kiko 304 oziroma Silver Chrome, ki je svetlo srebrne barve s foil finišem. Nanesti je bilo potrebno kar 4 sloje, ker ni tako prekriven, kot so običajno podobni laki. Vseeno mi je bil končni rezultat zelo všeč.

The following is Kiko 304 or Silver Chrome, which is bright silver nail polish with foil finish. It was necessary to apply as much as 4 coats, because it is not as opaque as foil finish nail polishes usually are. However I still liked the final result.

Naj vam še enkrat omenim, da mi je lake iz Italije poslala prijateljica in sorodnica Raggio di Luna, ki se je tudi sama opredelila kot "zasvojenko z laki za nohte". =) Na njenem blogu Raggio di Luna Nails pa ne boste našle le lakov, ampak predvsem prekrasne umetnije, ki jih z njimi ustvarja na svojih nohtih. Je tudi vam njen blog všeč tako, kot je meni? :)

Let me mention again that I recieved these nail polishes from Italy from my dear friend and cousin Raggio di Luna, who is "Official Polish Addict" as well. =) But on her blog Raggio di Luna Nails you will not only find nail polishes, but especially beautiful pieces of art that she created with them on her nails. Do you like her blog as much as I do? :)

I won Essence Vampire's Love giveaway!

Uau, imam super novico - Aly z bloga Mai senza smalto! me je izžrebala v svoji nagradni igri in pred kratkim je po pošti prispela moja nagrada. Dobila sem vse lakce iz Essence omejene kolekcije Vampire's Love! =)) Aly, hvala! =))

Uau, I have some great news - I won a giveaway from Aly from Mai senza smalto! blog and my postman recently brought me my prize. I recieved all nail polishes from Essence Vampire's Love limited edition! =)) Aly, thank you so much! =))

Essence Gold Old Buffy, Into the Dark, True Love, The Dawn is Broken, Hunt Me If You Can.

Aly je super punca in paketku je priložila še eno njami italijansko čokolado. Khmmm, bila je odlična in še dobro, da mi jo je uspelo še pravočasno fotografirati! ;)

Aly is great girl and in the package she also included a surprise - very tasty italian chocolate. Khmmm, it was very good, luckily I took a photo of it just in time before it was... Gone! ;)

Na nohte sem najprej nanesla lakec, ki mi je od vseh petih najbolj zanimiv. To je temno rjav odtenek Gold Old Buffy z večjim zlatim in bronastim šimrom, v svoji zbirki še namreč nisem imela nobenega podobnega lakca!

Firstly I painted on my nails the most interesting polish out of the bunch. For me this was dark brown Gold Old Buffy nail polish with golden and bronze glass flecked shimmer. I have nothing similar to it in my collection!

Kako vam je všeč ta omejena kolekcija? Ste si kupile kakšen lakec? Kateri pa je vaš najljubši?

Do you like this limited edition? Did you buy any nail polish from it? And which color is your favorite?

Jessica - Iridescent Eye

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

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

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. ;)
