Sometimes, it happens...

Greška na noktima. Priznajem, prošlo je poprilično vremena od kada mi se to desilo :). Nekima od vas će se možda i svideti, ko zna. Uglavnom, ovo ispadne kada nemate konkretnu ideju nego samo lakirate nokte. Nalakirala sam moje sa holo crvenim lakom Catherine Arley #800, i ispečatirala ih sa crnim Miyo - Black i pločicom BM - 204. Sve bi se zaustavilo tu i možda bi mi se i dopalo da sam uspela da ispečatiram nokte ravno. Ali budući da su moji nokti malo zakrivljeni, ovo je bila nemoguća misija. Umesto da sve obrišem i krenem ispočetka sa nečim novim, napravila sam french manikir sa mat crnim lakom theBalm - I Take my Coffee Matte and Black koji je izgledao manje mat nego što je ovaj Miyo - Black (koji ni nije mat uopšte). I na kraju, crvene šljokice u providnoj bazi, Aura - Soul Shade. Ne znam šta mi je sve ovo trebalo :).

Nail fail. I admit, it has been I while since that happened :). Some of you may even like it, who knows. Anyway, this is what you get when you don't have any idea, when you just paint your nails. I painted mine with holo red nail polish Catherine Arley #800, and stamped them with black nail polish Miyo - Black and plate BM - 204. I would stopped it here and maybe I would like it if I could stamp my nails straight. But, since my nails are a little bit curved, that was mission impossible. And instead I removed all of it and start over with something new, I made a french mani with matte nail polish theBalm - I Take my Coffee Matte and Black that looks less matte than Miyo - Black is (this one isn't matte at all). And in the end, red glitter in a clear base, Aura - Soul Shade. I don't know why I needed that :).

Easter Scavenger Hunt

Za Uskršnju potragu za jajima nisam čula do prošle godine, i mnogo mi se dopada ta ideja. Savršen način da se deci ulepša ovaj praznik. Sigurna sam da ću jednog dana prirediti to svojoj deci. Pokušaj da napravim Uskršnja jaja okružena travom na noktima sam smatrala lakim dok god nisam stigla do crtanja trave. Problem je bio nacrtati travu dovoljno gustu, a opet ne prekriti jaja u potpunosti. Uspela sam u pokušaju i sigurna sam da ćete uspeti da pronađete sva ova jaja :).
Koristila sam : Aura - Dig that gold!, akrilne boje i Miss Selene #170. 

I haven't heard about Easter Scavenger Hunt until last year and I really like that idea. It's a perfect way to make Easter interesting for children. I'm sure I'm gonna do this with my kids one day. I thought that making Easter eggs surrounded with grass on nails would be easy until I started drawing grass. Problem was to make a lot of grass, but not to cover eggs completely  It was successful and I'm sure you will manage to find all these eggs :).
I used : Aura - Dig that gold!, acrylic paints and Miss Selene #170.

In Faberge Style

Danas je pravoslavni Veliki Petak, i znate šta to znači - farbanje jaja :). Nažalost, uvek mi dobre ideje padnu na pamet tek nakon onog dana kada trebaju, i tako mi je danas, nakon što su jaja bila gotova, pala na pamet ideja farbanja jaja tako da liče na Faberge jaja. Sigurna sam da ste čule za ova divna ukrasna jaja koja se u svetu prodaju po stvarno visokim cenama. Farbanje jaja u Faberge stilu će morati da čeka sledeću godinu, ali sam barem ja ofarbala moje nokte u tom stilu.
Koristila sam : Essence - Red-y to go, Aura - Soul Shade, Essence - Grumpy, Aura - Disco Princess, Essence - Princess Peach, Claire's - Silver glitter, China Glaze - Cha Cha Cha, Miss Selene #170, Essence - A Piece of Forever i okrugle cirkone. 

Today is orthodox Good Friday and you know what that means - egg painting :). Unfortunately I always think about something awesome after the time when I need it, and something like that happened today. Right after eggs were finishes, I thought about how cool it would be to make eggs looks like Faberge eggs. I'm sure that you heard about these gorgeous eggs that are selling for a huge amount of money. Painting eggs in Faberge style will have to wait for the next year, but at least I did my nails in this style. 
I used :  Essence - Red-y to go, Aura - Soul Shade, Essence - Grumpy, Aura - Disco Princess, Essence - Princess Peach, Claire's - Silver glitter, China Glaze - Cha Cha Cha, Miss Selene #170, Essence - A Piece of Forever and round rhinestones.

Cut the Rope!

Od kako sam nabavila sebi Android telefon, igrice na njemu su moja opsesija. Igrala sam ih toliko da više ne mogu ni nazive da ima zapamtim. Jedna od prvih koje sam skinula je Cut the Rope, i ona je jedina kojoj se uvek vraćam. ZeptoLab je napravio novi deo ove igrice, nazvan Cut the Rope : Time Travel i obožavam je. Već sam je celu prešla i ne mogu da dočekam da izađe novi deo :).
Cilj igre je presecati uže i dovesti nekako bonbonicu do slatkog malog, uvek gladnog vanzemaljca, Om Noma. Ako niste igrale ovu igricu, obavezno to uradite. A sada moj nail art sa Om Nomom i bonbonicom :).
Koristila sam : Essence - A Piece of Forever, Aura - Dig that Gold, Essence - Nude Rules i akrilne boje.

Since I got Android phone, playing games on it became mine obsession. I played so many of them that I can't even remember their names. One of the first one I downloaded was Cut the Rope, and it is the only one that I always came back to. ZeptoLab made another part of this game, Cut the Rope : Time Travel and I love it. I already finished all levels and I can't wait for the next part :).
Aim of the game is to cut the ropes and get candy to the cute little, always hungry alien, Om Nom. If you haven't played this game, do that. And now my nail art with Om Nom and candy :).
I used : Essence - A Piece of Forever, Aura - Dig that Gold, Essence - Nude Rules and acrylic paints.

Wear Golden Shoes! On Your Nails!

Jeste li ikada  razmišljale o nošenju zlatnih cipelica, ali na vašim noktima? Meni svašta pada na pamet :). Pre nekog vremena, dobila sam ovaj set akrilnog praha u boji od Born Pretty Store-a. U setu su dvanaest različitih boja praha koji služe za pravljenje 3D ukrasa. Bili su odlično upakovani, ali nažalost, jedan rozi nije bio dobro zatvoren pa se prosuo po celoj kesici. Srećom, uspela sam čak i da vratim prosuti prah u kutijicu i tako spasem stvar :).

Have you ever thought about wearing gold shoes, but on your nails? I'm thinking about everything :). A while ago, I got this set of acrylic powder from Born Pretty Store. There are twelve different colors of acrylic powder in it and you can make 3D decorations with it. They were packed really well, but unfortunately, one of the pink ones wasn't closed good enough so it spilled. Luckily, I managed to save it and return almost all of it in the box :).

IMG_0262

Da bi pravile 3D ukrase, osim praha, potrebna vam je i ova tečnost, takozvani Likvid. Odmah ću vas upozoriti, on jede nokte, kožu, plastiku i sve što je pred njim. Zato kada ga koristite, nosite rukavice i obavezno koristite keramičku posudicu za njega. 

To make 3D decorations, besides the powder, you will need this Liquid. I will worn you, it will eat your nails, your skin, plastic, and everything else that it touches. So, when you use it, wear gloves and use ceramic dish for it. 

IMG_0263

Osim ove dve stvari, biće vam potrebna u četkica. Meni je odlično poslužila jedna od onih četkica koje sam vam pokazala OVDE. A sad, pravljenje. Prvo što sam pokušala bilo je pravljenje 3D cvetića direktno na noktu. Neuspešno. A onda, pravljenje mašnice direktno na noktu. Još jedan neuspeh. Zatim sam zalepila selotejp traku po stolu, i na njemu pravila cipelicu. Morate priznati da je cipelica veći izazov od mašnice, ali ipak, uspešno je napravljena. Oblik sam uspela da napravim sa četkicom, a zatim sam turpijom samo poravnala ivice i štiklu. 3D ukrase koje napravite možete premazati lakom, tako da sam ja moju prekrila sa zlatnim šljokicama (Aura Lux Glitter - Wanna Date Me?)

Besides these two things, you will need brush. I used one of those brushes that I showed you HERE and it worked great. And now, creating. First thing I tried was creating of 3D flowers directly on my nails. Fail. Then, I tried making a bow on a nail. Another Fail. Then I stuck a scotch tape on my table, and made a shoe on it. You must admit that shoe is a bigger challenge than a bow, but it was success  I made a shape of it with a brush, and then a used a nail file to file edges and heel. You can paint your 3D decoration with any nail polish, so I painted mine with gold glitter (Aura Lux Glitter - Wanna Date Me?)

Iako je cipelica malkice prevelika za moje nokte, moram vam priznati da mi je simpatično bilo imati je na noktu. Pa čak i ako je ovo nešto što možete nositi samo na jedan dan, verujte mi da vredi. Svi su je primetili. Šta vi mislite? Da li nosite 3D ukrase na noktima? 
Set akrilnih prahova možete naći OVDE za 525 dinara, Likvid OVDE za nekih 300 dinara i set četkica OVDE za 340 dinara. Ukupno, za 1125 dinara imate neograničene mogućnosti pravljenja 3D ukrasa kakvih god želite. Ne zaboravite na kupon kod za 10% popusta : KQL91 . 

Although shoe is a little bit too big for my nails, I have to admit that it was cute having it on nail. Even if this is something that you can wear only for one day, it's worth it. Everybody noticed it. What do you think? Do you wear 3D decorations on nails?
You can find set of acrylic powder HERE for $6.16, Nail Liquid HERE for $3.50, and brushes HERE for $3.91. Total, for just $13.57 you can have unlimited options of making any 3D decoration. Don't forget about coupon code for 10% off : KQL91.

Monkey Business

Nikad mi do sada nije palo na pamet da u rečima tražim inspiraciju za nail art, ali kada sam po ko zna koji put u životu čula danas "Majmunska posla" znala sam da moram napraviti nail art na tu temu :). Moji majmunčići se igraju na granama, a jednom je bilo toliko dosadno da je zaspao i to viseći naglavačke :). 
Korisila sam : Essence - Nightline, Aura Inches - Dig that gold! i akrilne boje.

I never thought about searching for nail art ideas in words, but when I heard again today words "Monkey business" I knew that I have to do nail art about it :). My monkeys play on the trees, and one of them was so bored that he fell a sleep by hanging upside down :).
I used : Essence - Nightline, Aura Inches - Dig that gold! and acrylic paints.

Ladybugs in Grass

Ne znam za vas, ali meni se nikako ne sviđa ova vrsta proleća puna snega i kiše. Nedostaje mi sunce i zelena  trava. A ne mogu ni da se setim kada sam poslednji put videla bubamare. Ranije ih je bilo mnogo, a sada, ništa. Možda nekako privučem zelenu travu i bubamarice u njoj ovim manikirom :). 
Koristila sam : Golden Rose #202, Essence - A walk in the Park, Aura Inches - Dig that gold! i akrilne boje.

I don't know about you, but I don't like at all this kind of spring full of snow and rain. I miss Sun and green grass. And I can't even remember when was the last time I saw ladybugs. It used to be a lot of them, but know, nothing. Maybe somehow I can atract green grass and ladybugs in it with this mani :).
I used : Golden Rose #202, Essence - A walk in the Park, Aura Inches - Dig that gold! and acrylic paints.

Happy Easter Everybody

Iako ne volim baš da jedem jaja, volim Uskrs zbog sve one ostale hrane (posebno torte i šunkice). Toliko sam jela da ne mogu ni da vam opišem, zato ću danas iskoristiti ovo malo prostora na internetu da vam, svima koji danas slavite Uskrs, poželim srećan praznik :). 
Za današnji manikir, koristila sam : Zoya - Sweet, Golden Rose Paris #214, theBalm - Sky Blue Right Past you, Catrice - New York, Aura - Dig that Gold, i akrilne boje. 

Although I don't really like to eat eggs, I like Easter because of all other food (especially cakes and ham). I ate so much today that I can't even describe you, and that's why I'm gonna use this space today, just to wish to all of you who are celebrating Easter today, happy holiday :).
For my manicure today, I used : Zoya - Sweet, Golden Rose Paris #214, theBalm - Sky Blue Right Past you, Catrice - New York, Aura - Dig that Gold, and acrylic paints.

Neon Butterflies

Danas sam se vratila u dobro raspolozenje, u boje, u sunce, u proleće. Pored cveća koje nam stiže u proleće, tu su uvek u šareni leptirići. Obožavala sam da ih jurim kada sam bila mala :). Ipak, sad kako sam starija, više volim one leptiriće u stomaku :). Ovo je bila i dobra prilika da isprobam set neonskih lakova koje sam kupila u Primark prodavnici u Beču.
Koristila sam : Catherine Arley #08, Primark - Neon Yellow, Primark - Neon Green, Primark - Neon Pink, Primark - Neon Red, theBalm - Silver Spoon Me i Aura - Disco Princess. 

Today I got back into a good mood, into colors, into Sun, into Spring. Besides flowers that we see on Spring, there are always a lot of colorful butterflies. I loved to chase them when I was kid :). Although, since I'm older, I now prefer those butterflies in stomach :). This was also a good opportunity to try out set of neon nail polishes that I bought in Primark store in Vienna. 
I used : Catherine Arley #08, Primark - Neon Yellow, Primark - Neon Green, Primark - Neon Pink, Primark - Neon Red, theBalm - Silver Spoon Me and Aura - Disco Princess.

Flowers on Stripes

Proslo je... koliko? Par dana od kako sam napravila prolecni manikir? I taman kada sam pomislila da nam prolece stize, vratili smo se na kisne hladne dane. Naravno, to me nije sprecilo da napravim jos jedan prolecni manikir koji je malo ubio ovo sivilo iz okruzenja. Ideja je dosla sasvim spontano, a u njenoj realizaciji koristila sam : theBalm - Yellow Mellow, Aura - Deep Space Sparkle i akrilne boje.

It has been... how much? Few days since I did my last spring mani? And just when I thought that spring is coming, we are back with rainy cold days. Of course, that didn't stopped me to do another spring manicure that killed all this grayness that is in the area. Idea came to me spontaneously  and I used these products to make it real : theBalm - Yellow Mellow, Aura - Deep Space Sparkle and acrylic paints.

Haul & Nail Mail in January

Nisam ni bila svesna da se moja kolekcija lakova za nokte prosirila za toliko komada tokom januara. Nesto sam kupila, nesto osvojila pa da krenemo redom...

I wasn't even aware that my nail polish collection got much bigger during January. Some polishes I bought, I some I won so let me show you everything...

IMG_0225

Novogodisnje praznike provela sam u Becu. Obozavam Bec, posebno u zimskom dobu, a ove godine sam uhvatila i dosta Bozicnih snizenja :). Kupila sam set od Claire's mini lakova, 12 komada za samo 7 eura. Lakovi nemaju ime na sebi, pa ako mi mozete pomoci sa tim, javite se :). 

I spent New Years Holidays in Vienna. I love Vienna, especially during a winter, and this year I found a lot of Christmas sale items :). I bought a set of Claire's mini nail polishes, pack of 12 for only about 9$. Polishes don't have any names on them, so if you can help me with that, let me know :). 

IMG_0206
IMG_0208
IMG_0210

Takodje u Becu, bila sam u jednoj prodavnici, Primark, koja je imala ogromna snizenja na sve. Odecu, obucu, nakit, pa i kozmetiku. Tamo sam pronasla ovaj set neonskih lakova za samo 2,5 eura.

Also in Vienna, I was in one store, Primark, that had huge sales on everything. Clothes, shoes, jewelry  and even on cosmetic. I found there this set of neon nail polishes for only about 4$. 

IMG_0212

Essence lakovi su jeftiniji u Austriji, tako da sam iskoristila priliku i da kupim nekoliko Colour&Go lakova koje sam planirala da kupim jos odavno :).

Essence nail polishes are cheaper in Austria, so I took an opportunity to buy few Colour&Go nail polishes that was on buy Wishlist :).

IMG_0213

Posto kod nas vise ne uvoze Nail Art Toppere, kao ni BTGN Top Sealer (velika greska, krivim uvoznika), napravila sam zalihe :). I takodje ugrabila jedan Look by BIPA lak koji mi je izgledao interesantno :).

Since there aren't any Nail Art Toppers and BTGN Top Sealer here (big mistake, I blame importer), I made supplies :). I also grabbed one Look by BIPA nail polish that look very interesting :).

IMG_0216

U decembru, imala sam srece, i osvojila sam deo Fruity kolekcije na Essence Advent Calendar-u. Drago mi je zbog toga, pogotovo jer ova kolekcija nikad nije dosla u Srbiju.

In December, I had luck, and won a part of Fruity collection on Essence Advent Calendar. I'm really happy because of that, especially because this collection never came in Serbia.

IMG_0214

Aura je pustila u prodaju novu kolekciju lakova za nokte, Lux Glitter. Jedan lak i senku za oci sam osvojila na njihovoj Facebook stranici, a ostalih 7 sam kupila sama :).

Aura, Serbian cosmetic company, made a new nail polish collection, Lux Glitter. I won one nail polish and eye shadow on their Facebook page, and I bought seven others :). 

IMG_0219
IMG_0221

I konacno, China Glaze Cirque du Soleil kolekcija je stigla. Uspela sam da se ogranicim da kupim samo tri laka, ona koja su mi se najvise svideli :).

And finally, China Glaze Cirque du Soleil collection came. I was good, and only bought three of them which I liked the most :). 

IMG_0223

Zelite li neki posebno da vidite? Koliko ste vi lakova kupile tokom proslog meseca?

Which one would you like to see? How many nail polishes have you bought last month?
