Happy Easter, Again!

Posle mnogo šunke i torti (ne volim baš nešto da jedem jaja), shvatila sam da vam još nisam poželela Srećan Uskrs! Nadam se da ste provele lep dan sa svojom porodicom, slavile ovaj praznik ili ne. Umesto klasične sličice kao čestitke, napravila sam je na noktima sa pačetom i jajima :).

Koristila sam : China Glaze - Cha Cha Cha i akrilne boje. 

After a lot of ham and cakes (I don't really like to eat eggs), I realized that I still haven't wished you a Happy Easter! I hope that you spent a nice day with your family, whether you are celebrating this holiday or not. Instead of the classic image as a card, I made it on nails with little duckling and eggs :).

I used : China Glaze - Cha Cha Cha and acrylic paints. 

Kako ste provele današnji dan? 

How was your day today?

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.

Da li ste ikada pravile/učestvovale u ovoj potrazi? Šta mislite o nail art-u?

Have you ever made/been in this hunt? What do you think about nail art?

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.

Šta mislite o noktima? Jeste probale ovako da farbate jaja? 

What do you think about nails? Have you tried egg painting like this?

Paint Your Nails like... Anne Hathaway

Sigurno ste čuli za glumicu Anne Hathaway. Obožavala sam da je gledam u mnogim filmovima, ali najupečatljivija mi je ostala u filmu "Đavo nosi Pradu". Tokom dodele SAG nagrada, Anne Hathaway je prošetala tepihom u prelepoj crnoj haljinici i kreč belim noktima sa nacrtanim leptirićima. 

I'm sure you heard about actress Anne Hathaway. I loved a lot of films that she acted in, but my favorite movie with her in a main roll is "Devil Wears Prada". During a SAG Award Show, Anne Hathaway walked down the red carpet wearing a gorgeous black dress and white nails with painted butterflies.

Ovaj nail art je bio toliko inspirativan za mene, da sam ga rekreirala. Umesto kreč bele, odlučila sam se za mlečno belu pozadinu, a uz crne leptiriće, dodala sam i tačkice.

Koristila sam : theBalm - Pale in Comparison, Golden Rose #202, i crnu akrilnu boju.

This nail art was so inspiring for me, that I had to recreate it. Instead white paint, I decided for milky white background, and with black butterflies I also added some dots.

I used : theBalm - Pale in Comparison,  Golden Rose #202 and black acrylic paint.

Da li vam se dopada nail art koji je Anne nosila? Šta mislite o mojoj rekreaciji?

Drag&Drop Flowers Tutorial

Srećan vam Praznik Rada drage moje :). Nadam se da ste provele divan dan. Za prvi dan u ovom mesecu, imam za vas davno obećani tutorijal za Drag&Drop tehniku. Verujte mi, nije teško i trebaće vam jako malo vremena da ovo napravite.

Slike su malo lošije jer sam sve morala da ih slikam u lightbox-u umesto na dnevnom svetlu (bila je noć kada sam ovo pravila) ali sam sigurna da ćete shvatiti kako to treba napraviti :). 

Ono što će vam trebati je : lak za nokte koji će biti podloga (kod mene je to Golden Rose #242), tri laka za cvetiće (kod mene su to Rapsodi #187, Essence - Flowerfields, i FlorMar #32) a od alata trebaće vam samo iglica/čačkalica. 

Happy International Workers' Day :). I hope you had a nice day. For the first day in this month, I have a long ago promiced tutorial for Drag&Drop technique. Trust me, it's not hard and you don't need much time to make it. 

Pictures are taken in a light box instead on a daylight (it was night when I did it) so they are not the best but I'm sure that you will understand how to do it :).

What you need is : nail polish that will be base color (mine is Golden Rose #242), three nail polishes for the flowers (I used Rapsodi #187, Essence - Flowerfields and FlorMar #32) and as tool you will need just a needle/toothpick.

Nakon što nanesete baznu boju, nacrtajte mali cvet (ne mora biti savršen). Sačekajte oko tridesetak sekundi i povucite linije na laticama od iznutra ka napolje. Obrišite čačkalicu nakon svake latice. Kada završite sa ovim, primetićete malo vaše bazne boje pri sredini cveta a negde ćete čak videti i svoj nokat. Izgledaće malo lepljivo na početku, ali brzo se osuši, a nakon toga samo nanesite top coat i izgledaće savršeno :).

After you apply your base color, draw a small flower (it doesn't have to be perfect). Wait about thirty seconds and drag lines on the petals from inside to outside. Clean your toothpick before every petal. After doing this, you will see some color in the middle of the flower that is your base color and somewhere you could also see your nail. It will look tacky but after it is dry, apply a top coat and it will look great :).

Ovom tehnikom takođe možete praviti i zvezdice. Šta mislite? Ako isprobate, obavezno mi pokažite :).

With this technique you can also make stars. What do you think? If you try it, let me know :).
