Christmas Nails #15 : Stockings

U nedostatku bolje ideje, danas sam crtala bozicne carapice. Prvi put sam ih ove godine videla u prodavnicama, a do tada sam ih gledala samo na filmovima. Nisam ih kupila. Nekako, u mojoj glavi te carapice stoje lepo samo okacane na kamin, a to znaci da prvo moram kamin da kupim. Tako da ce moji pokloncici i ove godine da stoje samo ispod jelke. Srecom pa mi je jelka velika :).

Kao podlogu sam nalakirala Essence – Trendsetter, i jos malo glittera na tipsama kineskim lakom QN – 109.

In the lack of better idea, today I drew Christmas stockings. I saw them first time in stores this year, and until then I seen them only in movies. I didn’t bought them. Somehow, in my head those stockings looks good only on the fireplace, and that means that I have to buy fireplace first. So, my presents will be under the Christmas tree this year too. Luckily I have big tree :).

As base coat I polished my nails with Essence – Trendsetter, and some glitters on tips with some Chinese polish QN – 109.

Nadam se da ce vam se svideti :).
Na putu sam, tako da cu odgovarati na vase komentare kada se vratim :).

Chinese Beauty

Posto vidim da je polu-mesec french opet u modi, odlucila sam da ga isprobam. Nije bilo bas uspesno. Prva greska koju sam napravila bila je nedovoljan kontrast boja. Naime, na gornju polovinu nokta sam namazala Essence – Meet You in Budapest, a na donju french liniju tamno plavu akrilnu boju. Kontrast se skoro ni nije video a i linije su bile pomalo neravne. Evo pogledajte… 

Since I saw that half-moon french is IN again, I decided to try it out. It wasn’t successful. First mistake that I made was lack of color contrast. On the top half of the nail I applied Essence – Meet You in Budapest, and on the bottom french-line -  dark blue acrylic paint. Contrast was almost invisible, and the lines were little bit uneven. Take a look…



Kako bi ispravila gresku, usudila sam se da isprobam jedan lak koji mi je tata kupio. Lak je kineski, i cak ni ime mu ne mogu procitati. Moze biti QV, QN, ili nesto trece. Ako mozete da vidite koje je to drugo slovo, kazite mi da znam :). Jedino sto vidim je da je boja broj 114.

I wanted to correct mistake, so I dared to try out one polish that my Dad bought me. Polish is Chinese, and I can’t even read it’s name. It can be QV, QN, or something third. If you can read that second letter, tell me :). Only thing that I see is color number 114.



Kao sto vidite, rec je o plavicastoj boji, koja na noktima vuce na sivu, prepunoj srebrnkastog i plavog shimmera. Lako se nanosi, tako da sam uspela da ga lepo namazem samo jednim slojem. Najveci problem : smrdi jako. Ovo nije ona vrsta smrada koji mozete da izluftirate ako otvorite prozor, zato sto on ostaje na noktima. Tako da sa ovim lakom postoji jedno pravilo : ruke sto dalje od nosa! Kada bolje razmislim, ovo je mozda dobro resenje za ljude koji grickaju nokte, zato sto je miris stvarno nepodnosljiv. Ali boja – prelepa.

As you can see, it’s a bluish color, that can look gray on nails, filled with silver and blue shimmer. It’s easy to apply, so I needed only one coat. Biggest problem : bad smell. This isn’t that kind of bad smell that can disappear when you open your windows, because it stays on your nails. So with this polish, there is one rule : hands as far away from the nose! When I think about it, this is perhaps a good solution for people who bite their nails, because the smell is really unbearable. But the color - beautiful.









Sta mislite o ovom laku? Jeste ga probale? Koliko je stvarno los moj half-moon?
Posto sam ovih dana u raspolozenju lose volje, i nedostatka inspiracije, zadovoljna sam i ovim :).

What do you think about this polish? Did you tried it? How truly bad is my half-moon?
Since these days I’m in the mood of lack of will and inspiration, I’m satisfied with this :).
