Polish Pen by Born Pretty Store

Danas ću da vam pokažem jednu novu vrstu laka u olovci koja mi je stigla iz Born Pretty Store-a. Za razliku od onih dvostranih lakova (sa četkicom i iglicom) ova olovka je mnogo laka za korišćenje. Osećala sam se kao da imam običan marker u ruci. Uputstvo za upotrebu kaže : protresi, pumpaj i koristi. Jednostavno, ali opet dovoljno komplikovano pošto mi deo "pumpaj" nije bio baš najjasniji. Ako još nekome od vas nije jasan, poenta je u tome što treba par puta da pritisnete (otvorenom) olovkom po papiru kako bi boja počela da izlazi. 

Today I'm going to show you new kind of nail art pen that came from Born Pretty Store. Unlike those two way nail polishes (with brush and needle) this pen is easier to use. I felt like I have a regular pen in my hand. Instructions for use are : Shake, pump and use. Sound simply, but enough complicated since I didn't really understood how should I pump it. If any of you have this problem with this pen, thing is that you have to press (open) pen on the paper few times and then color will come out. 

Ova olovka za nail art ostavlja relativno tanke linije, i sve možete njome iscrtati iz jednog poteza (ne morate da je pumpate pre svake linije). 

This nail art pen leaves relatively thin lines, and you can draw anything with it with just one move of hand (you don't need to pump it before every line).

Šta mislite o ovoj olovci? Jeste li probale ovako nešto?

Fluffy Nails

Dugo sam se odupirala ovom trendu dlakavih noktiju, ali sam napokon odustala. Kupila sam ga pre manje od dve nedelje, i stvarno ne znam šta sam čekala da ga probam. Pošto mi je bio prvi put da ga koristim, odlučila sam se za boju koja mi se najmanje svidela pošto nisam znala koliko se toga potroši i da li ću uopšte i uspeti da ga stavim. Što se tiče boje, promenila sam mišljenje, sviđa mi se jako kada je noktima. A što se tiče potrošene količine, jako je mala. 

I really resisted to follow this fluffy nails trend, but I finally gave up on that. I bought it about two weeks ago, and I really have no idea why I waited so much time to try it out. Since it was the first time I tried it, I decided to go with the color I didn't really like, because I had no idea how much powder will I spent or will I be able to apply it. I chose neon yellow, and I really like how it looks on nails. And the amount of powder you will need for this is really minimal. 

Mnogo mi se dopalo ovo. Uvek je tu to nešto što vas tera da stalno pipkate nokte a oni su toliko mekani. Što se tiče dužine trajanja, rećiću vam da je izdržalo ceo dan, uključujući i tuširanje i pranje sudova. Za dalje vam ne mogu reći pošto ću ga svakako već sutra skinuti. Da li ste probale pliš na noktima? Kako vam se dopada trend dlakavih noktiju?

I really like this. There is always something that keep pushing you to touch your nails and they are so soft. I can't tell you anything about wearing time. I wore it whole day, including showering and dish washing. I will take it off in the morning but I think it would hold a few days. Have you tried flocking powder on nails? What do you think about fluffy nails trend?

Just another one with One Stroke

Smatram da se sve može naučiti, samo je potrebna vežba. One stroke tehnika je po meni najlepša tehnika crtanja po noktima, i divim se onima koji je perfektno izvode. Pokušala sam već nekoliko puta da crtam ovom tehnikom i bilo je više-manje neuspešno. A da budem iskrena, i teško. 

Od Born Pretty Store-a sam dobila ovaj set četkica, koji sadrži četkicu za one stroke, za akril i za gel tehniku. Moram vam reći, bez prave četkice je nemoguće izvesti one stroke na noktima. Ova četkica je najbolja koju sam do sada probala i sa njom je stvarno lako raditi. Naravno, još uvek mi preostaje mnogo vežbe da bi bilo savršeno.  

I believe that you can learn anything, you just need to practice. In my opinion, one stroke technique is the prettiest technique of nail art, and I admire to those who can do it perfectly. I tried several times to draw with this technique and it was more or less unsuccessful. And to be honest, it was hard. 

I got this set of brushes from Born Pretty Store that has brushes for one stroke, acryl and gel technique. I have to tell you, without a perfect brush, you can't do one stroke on your nails. This brush is the best that I have tried so far and it is really easy to work with it. Of course, I still have to practice a lot to make it perfect. 

Uz malo akrilne boje, prave četkice i malo vode, evo šta sam uspela da napravim. 

With acrylic paint, right brush and a little bit of water, here's what I made.

Da li ste probale ovu tehniku? Imate li neke stvarno dobre tutorijale za početnike (oni koje sam ja pronašla na youtube-u nisu baš sasvim početnički)?

Ako vam treba prava četkica za one stroke, stvarno preporučujem ovaj set četkica. Već imam onaj set od 15 četkica, ali nijedna od njih nije ona koja vam je potrebna za ovu tehniku. Ovaj set možete naći na sajtu Born Pretty Store-a za oko 340 dinara. Ne zaboravite i kupon kod za 10% popusta : KQL91

Have you tried this technique? Do you have any good tutorial for beginners (those that I found on youtube aren't really for beginners)?

If you are searching for right brush for one stroke, I really recommend this set. I already have that set of 15 brushes, but neither one of them is good for this technique. You can find this set on Born Pretty Store for $3.91. Don't forget to use 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. 

Koji vam je najlepši?

Which one is the prettiest?

Texture? I like it!

China Glaze je napravila novu kolekciju, Texture, koja se itekako razlikuje od ostalih. Ova kolekcija sadrži 6 različitih boja lakova za nokte koji na noktima prave teksturu, tj hrapavu površinu. Iako mi se baš i nije dopadala ovakva vrsta lakova, kupila sam jedan, žuto zeleni China Glaze - In the Rough kako bih videla kakav je osećaj. Lak se nanosi na isti način kao i svi drugi lakovi, a tekstura se pojavljuje dok se suši. Dovoljno je nalakirati samo jedan sloj, ali ja sam ipak to uradila sa dva (navika). Kad se osuši mat je, ali to uvek možete rešiti bezbojnim lakom za nokte.

China Glaze made new collection, Texture, that it really different from others. This collection has 6 different colors of nail polishes that make texture on your nails. Although I didn't really like the idea of  having a texture on my nails, I bought one, yellowish green China Glaze - In the Rough just so I can feel it. Nail polish applies like every other nail polish and texture shows up while polish is drying. One coat is enough, but I painted mine with two (habit). It dries matte but you can always make it shiny with clear nail polish. 

Na kraju, moram vam reći da mi se dopada. Ako ništa drugo, zanimljiv je i privlači vas da stalno pipate svoje nokte. Volim neobične stvari a ovaj lak je definitivno neobičan. Šta vi mislite? Jeste li probale neki lak iz ove kolekcije?

In the end, I have to tell you I like it. It is really interesting and it makes you touch your nails all the time. I love unordinary things, and this nail polish is definitely unordinary. What do you think? Have you tried any nail polish from this collection?
