Twin Post with The Polished Fangirl – Mandarin Fish

Danas ću vam pokazati moj prvi Twin Post. Twin post se događa jednom mesečno, kada svaka od nas koje se pridružimo dobija svog "blizanca" i temu na koju treba da naprave isti manikir. 

Ovog meseca, moj "blizanac" je Erika sa bloga The Polished Fangirl, a tema koju smo dobile je tropska riba. Nakon razgledanja svih mogućih vrsta tropskih ribica (nisam mogla da poverujem koliko ima prelepih riba) odlučile smo se za print kakav ima Mandarin riba.

Koristila sam : Essence - Doc, Gade - Stunning Sapphire, i Gade - Pool Party.

Today I'm going to show you my first Twin Post. Twin Post happens once in a month, and each of us get their "twin" and the theme for manicure. 

This month, my "twin" is Erika from The Polished Fangirl blog, and theme that we got is tropical fish. After looking into a lot of tropical fishes (I couldn't believe how many gorgeous fishes are there), we decided for Mandarin fish print. 

I used : Essence - Doc, Gade - Stunning Sapphire, and Gade - Pool Party.

Obavezno pogledajte i kako je Erika napravila ovaj isti dizajn, ali i teme koje su druge devojke dobile, kao što je zmijski print, tigar print, zebra print...

Be sure to check out how Erika made this design, and also the themes that other girls did, like snake print, tiger print, zebra print... 

Silver Butterflies

Moja omiljena nijansa plave oduvek je bila karington plava (ili kako sam je zvala od malena, šerpa plava :D). Gade #446 je baš ta, divna nijansa plave koja se nanosi u samo 2 sloja laka. Preko njega, nacrtala sam holo leptiriće sa Layla - Mercury Twilight, ali nažalost, sunce se uporno krilo iza oblaka, tako da je sve što je ostalo na slikama, srebrni leptirići.

My favorite shade of blue has always been Royal blue (or as I used to call it when I was kid, pot blue :D). Gade #446 is just that, gorgeous shade of blue opaque in just 2 coats. Over it, I drew holo butterflies with Layla - Mercury Twilight, but unfortunately, sun kept on hiding behind clouds, so all that is left on these photos are silver butterflies.






Koja ja vaša omiljena nijansa plave? Da li vam se dopadaju leptirići?

What is your favorite shade of blue? Do you like these butterflies?

Flowers in Blue

Videla sam ovakve cvetiće na suknji moje ujne i odmah su mi u glavi bili isti takvi cvetići nacrtani na noktima. Požurila sam kući i nacrtala ih, kako ne bi zaboravila ovu ideju (što mi se često dešava). Tamno plava podloga sa svetlo plavim cvetićima oivičeni belom bojom. Više je za proleće, ali i ovog letnjeg dana može da posluži :). Koristila sam lak za nokte Gade #446 i akrilne boje.

I saw these flowers on my aunts skirt and I already had in my mind picture of that same flowers on nails. I went home and draw them, because I didn't want to forget this idea (which happens a lot of times). Dark blue base color with light blue flowers bordered with white. It's more for spring, but it can be wearable on this summer day too :). I used Gade #446 nail polish and acrylic paints. 

Šta mislite? Da li bi nosile ovakvu suknju?

What do you think? Would you wear skirt like this?

Pretty in Pink

Ako ste ovde sa mnom duže vreme, sigurno znate koja mi je broj jedan tehnika crtanja na noktima koju želim da usavršim - one stroke. Kao i za sve, i za one stroke je potrebno mnogo vežbe i strpljenja. Za razliku od mojih prethodnih pokušaja, ovaj se činio stvarno jednostavnim i nisam ni primetila koliko je lepo ispalo dok nisam potpuno završila sa crtanjem. Koristila sam : Gade #461 i akrilne boje. 

If you are here with me for a while, you probably already know which is my number one nail art technique that I want to learn - one stroke. As well as for everything else, for one stroke you will need lot of practice and patience. Unlike my previous attempts, this one seemed really simple and I didn't even noticed how pretty it is until I was completely done. I used Gade #461 and acrylic paints. 

Da li ste probale da koristite ovu tehniku? Da li vam se sviđa kako izgleda?

Have you tried this technique? Do you like how it looks?

Narrow it Down

Ovakav i slične manikire sam sigurna da ste videle milion puta do sada. Ali jednostavno sam morala da ga napravim jer su mi se ova dva laka činila potpuno kompatibilna. Lakirala sam jedan, pa drugi, pa opet prvi, pa drugi i svaki put malo sužavala površinu nokta. Čini mi se da bi možda bilo lakše da sam ručno nacrtala linije, ali ovako je definitivno bilo izazovnije. Koristila sam : Gade #461 i theBalm - Pink or Swim. 

I'm sure you have seen this and similar manicures a lot of times before. But I just had to do it because these two polishes seemed completely compatible. I painted my nails with first one, then with second one, and then first one again, and second and I kept narrowing down the area of the nails with every next coat. It seems to me that it would be easier for me to draw that lines with free hand, but this way it was more challenging. I used : Gade #461 and theBalm - Pink or Swim. 

Da li ste nekad pravile ovakav manikir? Ako niste, obavezno probajte, veoma je jednostavno.

Have you ever made mani like this? If you haven't, do it, it is really simple.

Nail Mail and Haul in June

Obično ovakvu vrstu posta objavljujem prvog u mesecu, ali oprostićete mi što ovog puta kasnim par dana :). U junu, mogu da se pohvalim time da sam izdržala da ne kupim ni jedan lak za nokte. Čestitam sama sebi :D. Ipak, to ne znači da nema noviteta u mojoj kolekciji ovog meseca... Od tetke sam dobila ove divne lakove : Gabrini #379, Gabrini N12, Gabrini M110, Rapsodi #336, Rapsodi #304. 

I usually make a this type of post on the first day of a month, but I'm few days late this month :). In June, I have to tell you that I tried really hard and didn't buy any nail polish. Congratulations to myself :D. But, that doesn't mean that there are no new polishes in my stash... From my aunt I got these pretty polishes : Gabrini #379, Gabrini N12, Gabrini M110, Rapsodi #336, Rapsodi #304. 

Ova tri lepotana ste već juče videle, ali čisto da se podsetimo :)... Layla - Mercury Twilight, Layla - Coffee Love i Layla - Ocean Rush. 

You already saw these three gorgeous polish yesterday but here they are again :)...  Layla - Mercury Twilight, Layla - Coffee Love and Layla - Ocean Rush. 

Prošlog meseca, učestvovala sam u još jednom grupnom tematskom menjanju lakova na facebook-u. Tema je bila leto, a Yarden iz Izraela mi je poslala punu kutiju simpatičnih stvarčica koje će mi dobro doći ovog leta :).

Last month, I joined one more group theme polish swap on Facebook. Theme was summer, and Yarden from Israel sent me box with all those cute things that I will definitely need this summer :).

Trebalo mi je vremena da sve otpakujem, ali sam se oduševljavala sa svakom sledećom stvari koju bi ugledala.

It took a while to unpack it all, but I loved every single item. 

Mnogo slatkiša. Skoro sve čokoladno. I razlog zašto sam se ugojila sigurno 3kg ove nedelje :).

Lots of candies. Almost everything with chocolate. And reason why I got 3kg this week :).
 

Cvetne naočare za sunce, letnje vodene nalepnice za nokte, ogledalce u obliku školjke, mali sjaj za usta i turpija koja savršeno staje čak i u najmanju tašnicu.

Flower designed sunglasses, summer water decals, shell shaped mirror, little lip gloss and nail file that fits even in a smallest purse. 

Znam da ste ovo čekale da vidite. Lakovi. Sedam lakova izraelskih brendova koje sam dobila kao dupe-ove lakova sa moje liste želja. Glitter Bunny - Rainbow on Crack, Gade #446, Wow #309, Gade #461, Gade #821, GK - Holographic Glitter i Glitter Bunny - Flip Flop Madness. 

I know you wanted to see these. Nail polishes. Seven nail polishes by Israel brands that I got as dupes for polishes on my wishlist. Glitter Bunny - Rainbow on Crack, Gade #446, Wow #309, Gade #461, Gade #821, GK - Holographic Glitter and Glitter Bunny - Flip Flop Madness. 

Sutra vam pokazujem Flip Flop Madness, a za dalji redosled, volela bih da znam šta bi vi volele da vidite :). Koji su vaši noviteti od prošlog meseca?

Tomorrow I'll show you Flip Flop Madness, and for post after that, I would love to know what would you like to see :). What is new in your collection?
