Matching Manicure - Flowers

U poslednje vreme sam oduševljena pečatiranjem hologramskim lakovima. Vodila sam se onim da je skuplje - bolje, tako da sam pokušavala sa China Glaze i Layla lakovima međutim bilo je bezuspešno. Kako su nam stigli sunčani dani, obratila sam malo više pažnje na moje holo lakove, i setila se da imam celu Perfect Holographic kolekciju (da, potpuno sam zaboravila na njih). Uspela sam iz prvog pokušaja da ispečatiram cvetiće, što je i tema za današnji Matching Manicure.
Koristila sam : Avon - Violetta, Perfect H04 i Perfect H06. Pločica sa koje sam pečatirala ima naziv Disc-02 i možete je naći u Alexandar Cosmetics-u.

Lately, I really like when I see stamping with holographic polishes. I thought that the more expensive polish is, bigger is chance that it will be good for stamping, so I mostly tried with China Glaze and Layla polishes but it was unsuccessful. Since there were few sunny days in a row, I paid more attention to my holo polishes, and remembered that I have whole Perfect Holographic collection (yes, I forgot about it). It worked from the first try and I stamped flowers which were the theme for this week Matching Manicure.
I used : Avon - Violetta, Perfect H04 and Perfect H06. Stamping plate that I used is Disc-02 bought in Serbian store Alexandar Cosmetics.

Purple with red shimmer

Danas, jos jedan Golden Rose - 312. Imam ga vec duze vreme, ali jednostavno nije stizao na red za swatch. Nekako, uvek kad sam ga uzela u ruke bilo je pod losim osvetljenjem, i nije mi se cinio nista poseban. Ali verujte mi, prelep je kad se gleda pod odredjenim uglom. Boja je ljubicasta, ali neka cudna nijansa. Ono sto je predivno – u sebi ima crvenog shimmera koji sija kao lud. Retko koji Golden Rose lakovi imaju tu osobinu da su isti u bocici kao i na noktu. Ovaj je jedan od tih. Posle samo 2 sloja, dobila sam punu prekrivenost ovih mojih ogromnih noktiju. Onima koji imaju krace nokte, verovatno bi bio dovoljan jedan sloj. Pogledajte ovu lepotu : 

Today, another Golden Rose –312. I have it for a while, but it just wasn’t it’s turn for swatching. Somehow, always that I took it in my hands, it was under the bad light and it wasn’t seems special. But trust me, it is gorgeous when you look at him under specific angles. Color is purple, but with strange shade. What is amazing with this polish is that it has red shimmer that shines like crazy. You can rarely find Golden Rose polishes that have feature that they are same in the bottle like they are on nails. This one is one of them. After only 2 layers, I got full opaque even on my long nails. For those of you who have shorter nails, you will probably need just one. Check out this beauty :

Slikala sam i sa blicem i bez njega, kako posto se pod razlicitom kolicinom svetlosti vidi razlicita kolicina tog crvenkastog shimmera.
Cisto da ne bude sam, napravila sam french ljubicastim mat lakom iz Avona – Violetta, a na prstenjaku sam nacrtala tackice istim lakom.

I took a pictures with flash and without it, just because it depends of lightening how much of those red shimmer you will see.
I didn’t wanted to leave it alone, so I made a french manicure with purple Avon Mat – Violetta, and on a ring finger I draw dots with the same polish.

Abstract French

Nikada nisam razumela abstraktnu umetnost. Mislila sam da cak i bilo koje dete od 3 godine moze da se bavi time. Lakirala sam mami nokte sinoc, nesto izmedju duge i abstraktne umetnosti, i to jos french. Verovatno i to dete od 3 godine moze da uradi ali bar smo se zabavile.

I had never understood abstract art. I thought that even a 3 years old kid can do that. I polished my mother nails last night, something between rainbow and abstract art french. 3 years old kid can do that too probably, but we at least had fun.

Za leptire smo koristile zlatnu i belu akrilnu boju i ljubicast mat Avon. Podloga svemu je bio Essence Sweet as Candy; podloga frenchu je bio Essence White Secret; a linije su radjene zelenom i zutom akrilnom, Essence Break Through i Golden Rose Nail Art 116. Top coat je bio Aura 203.                                
Ne izgleda ovo ni tako lose. Mislim da cu probati sutra da napravim nesto slicno ovome preko celog nokta. Sta vi mislite o ovome?


For butterflies we used gold and white acrylic paint and purple Avon Matte. Base coat was Essence Sweet as Candy; and for french there was Essence White Secret. Lines were done with green and yellow acrylic, Essence Break Through and Golden Rose Nail Art 116. Top Coat was Aura 203.
This doesn’t look that bad. I think I will try to make something similar over the whole nail tomorrow. What do you think about this?

Avon Matte

Mozete li verovati?? Bez akrila ovaj put :)
Priznajem, bila sam skepticna. Nikad nisam imala pouzdanja u lakove iz Avona ili Oriflame-a. Lose iskustvo sa Oriflameom od pre par godina je doprinelo tome. Jos uvek imam nekoliko komada gotovo nekoristenih. Kada sam videla da je Avon izbacio kolekciju Matte lakova, mislila sam da nisu nesto. I nisam planirala da ga kupim. Ali zato sam ga dobila na poklon za 8 mart od mame, i to ljubicasti Violetta. Ako vas zanima, postoje jos crni, sivi, plavi i crveni. 



Can you believe it?? Without acryl this time :).
I admit, I was skeptic. I never had confidence in polishes from Avon or Oriflame. It was because of bed experience with Oriflame polishes from few years ago. I still have few of them almost not used at all. When I saw that Avon came out with new collection of Matte polishes, I taught they are not something. And I didn’t plan to buy it at all. But I got it as a gift for 8th March from my mother, purple one – Violetta. If you are interested, there is also black, gray, blue and red one.

Prve dve slike su sa blicem, a druge dve bez njega. Kada se slika sa blicem, izgleda kao da je tamno plav. Bez blica daje realnu boju. Iako, primetila sam da lak kao da menja boju. U zavisnosti od osvetljenja, ume da izgleda od plave do crne boje. Sto se tice susenja, nikad brze. Dok namazete treci prst, prvi je vec potpuno suv i mat. Posto nisam stavljala Top Coat (u nedostatku vremana), lak mi se sutradan poceo guliti, ali mislim da do toga ne bi doslo da sam stavila bilo sta preko.
Kada gledam po principu ekonomicnosti, ne isplati se davati tolike pare samo zato sto mat. Isplati se jedino ako vam se jako svidja boja, a za ostale boje, mozete iskoristiti i bilo koji lak sa mat Top Coat-om. Posto se meni ova ljubicasta jako svidja – preporucujem svakako :).


First two photos are with flash, and second two are without it. When you take a picture with flesh, it seems like dark blue. Without flash is a real color. Although, I noticed that is seems like it changes color. Depending of light, it can look from blue to black. Drying is never faster. While I was applying it on third nail, first was already totally dry and matte. Because I didn’t put on Top Coat (I didn’t have time), the next day it started to peel off, but I think it’s my fault.
When I look from the economy side, it’s it not worth it to pay that money. I pays off only if you really like the color. And for other colors, you can use any polish with Matte Top Coat. Because I really like this purple – I definitely recommend :).
