Silicone Stamping Fail

Videla sam već par puta u pojedinim prodavnicama ovaj novi silikonski pečat za nokte ali nikada mi nije palo na pamet da ga kupim. Nisam osoba koja preterano voli inovacije jer ne volim da kupim proizvod koji neću koristiti jer ili neću znati kako, ili će trebati toliko vremena za njegovo korišćenje da ću ga iz tog razloga mrzeti. U zadnje vreme sam videla na dosta blogova devojke kako koriste ove pečate, a onda kada mi ga je kkcenterhk.com ponudio na recenziju, odlučila sam da je vreme da i ja uskočim u ovaj vagon.
A i morate priznati, nije isto kada vidite pečat u prodavnici okrenut na stranu gde su udubljenja i kada ga vidite na sajtu gde je predivno obojena strana pečata... Ovaj gumeni pečat nosi oznaku A22.

I already saw for a few times in some stores this new rubber stamp for nails but it never crossed my mind to buy it. I'm not really a person who like innovation, just because I don't like to buy product that I will not use because either I will not know how to use it, or it would take a lot of time for usage so I will avoid it. Lately I saw on a lot of blogs that girls uses these for stamping on their nails, and then kkcenterhk.com offered it to me for review, so I decided it is time to step on that wagon. 
And you have to admit, it's not the same when you see rubber stamp in store and seeing only graved side and when you see it on web where there is colored side of stamp... This rubber stamping have a name A22.

Da, bila sam zbunjena kada sam ga uzela u ruke. I da, još uvek sam. Uputstvo za upotrebu koje možete naći na mnogo tutorijala na youtube-u je sledeće : obojite crtež koji želite da stavite na nokat, pritisnete nekoliko puta pečatom o papir, i zatim ga prenesete na nokte. 
U praksi, to baš i ne ide tako lako. Opčinjena šarenim crtežima sa pozadine pečata, obojila sam raznim bojama cvetić i radila po uputstvu. Od celog cveta, na nokat se prenelo nešto što bi možda moglo da liči na laticu. Probala sam zatim šarene kockice, računajući da ću imati jednobojan manikir sa crtežom na jednom noktu. Opet ista priča, jedna i po kockica ovog puta. Onda sam shvatila da ne vredi da se trudim sa više boja, već sam pokušala sa samo jednom bojom, crnom. 
A ovo, verovali ili ne su moji najuspešniji pokušaji.

Yes, I was confused when I hold it for the first time. And yes, I still am. You can find a lot of instructions for use and tutorials on YouTube and basically it is : paint the drawing that you want to apply on nail, press few times on a paper and then transfer it on nail.
In real life, it is not that easy. Attracted by colourful drawing on the back side of this stamp, I painted that cute little flowers with different colors and did what the instructions said. From all that flowers, only thing that transferred on my nails was something that could look like petal. Then I tried to make rainbow cubes, thinking that I could just have plain nails with a cubes on an accent. Again, same story, this time only one and a half cubes. Then I figured that it is not worth of trying with multiple colors, and tried to use only one color, black. 
And this, believe me or don't, is my best try.

Stvarno ne mogu da vam kažem u čemu je bio problem. Da li je u tome što višak laka ne može da se skroz skine na papir pritiskanjem (a ni čačkalicom što sam videla u jednom tutorijalu), premalo ugraviranim crtežima, ili možda samo u neiskustvu... 
Ne verujem da ću se opet usuditi da isprobam ove gumene pečate, barem ne dok se potpuno ne uvežbam na ovom kojem već imam (ukoliko je problem neiskustvo). 
Ako vi želite da ih isprobate, možete ih naći na sajtu kkcenterhk.com za oko 730 dinara, minus naravno 10% popusta uz kupon kod : nailsfromfairytale . 
Jeste li probale ove gumene pečate? Šta mislite, šta je problem kod ovog?

I really can't tell you what was the problem. Is it because excess of nail polish can't be taken off just pressing it on the paper (or with toothpick, like I saw in one of the tutorials), not enough deep drawings, or maybe inexperience...
I don't think that I will dare to try this rubber stamps again, at least not until I practice enough on these that I already have (if the problem is lack of experience). 
If you would like to try them, you can find them on kkcenterhk.com for $8.65, minus of course 10% off which you can get if you use coupon code : nailsfromfairytale . 
Have you tried this for stamping? What do you think, what is the problem with this one?

Sometimes, it happens...

Greška na noktima. Priznajem, prošlo je poprilično vremena od kada mi se to desilo :). Nekima od vas će se možda i svideti, ko zna. Uglavnom, ovo ispadne kada nemate konkretnu ideju nego samo lakirate nokte. Nalakirala sam moje sa holo crvenim lakom Catherine Arley #800, i ispečatirala ih sa crnim Miyo - Black i pločicom BM - 204. Sve bi se zaustavilo tu i možda bi mi se i dopalo da sam uspela da ispečatiram nokte ravno. Ali budući da su moji nokti malo zakrivljeni, ovo je bila nemoguća misija. Umesto da sve obrišem i krenem ispočetka sa nečim novim, napravila sam french manikir sa mat crnim lakom theBalm - I Take my Coffee Matte and Black koji je izgledao manje mat nego što je ovaj Miyo - Black (koji ni nije mat uopšte). I na kraju, crvene šljokice u providnoj bazi, Aura - Soul Shade. Ne znam šta mi je sve ovo trebalo :).

Nail fail. I admit, it has been I while since that happened :). Some of you may even like it, who knows. Anyway, this is what you get when you don't have any idea, when you just paint your nails. I painted mine with holo red nail polish Catherine Arley #800, and stamped them with black nail polish Miyo - Black and plate BM - 204. I would stopped it here and maybe I would like it if I could stamp my nails straight. But, since my nails are a little bit curved, that was mission impossible. And instead I removed all of it and start over with something new, I made a french mani with matte nail polish theBalm - I Take my Coffee Matte and Black that looks less matte than Miyo - Black is (this one isn't matte at all). And in the end, red glitter in a clear base, Aura - Soul Shade. I don't know why I needed that :).

Dry Water Marble? I don't think so!


Govoreci o promasajima... Water marble sam probala nekoliko puta, i svaki put je bilo, blago receno, neuspesno. A onda sam naisla na tutorijale za suvi Water marble. Srece i radosti, morala sam da probam. Pratila sam korak po korak, izmesala tri laka (pomalo neuredno i ruzno, ali za prvi put dobro). Bila sam strpljiva i ostavila da se susi 2 dana... Kada sam probala da ih postavim na nokte, raspadali su se, lomili, a ciscenje posle ovoga je horor prica za sebe. 

Speaking about failures... I tried making water marble few times, and every time was, I'll be gentle, failure. And then I found tutorials for dry Water marble. Oh, how happy I was, I had to try it immediately. I followed step by step, mixed three nail polishes (little bit messy and ugly, but fine for the first time). I was really patient and left it to dry for 2 days... When I tried to put them on my nails, they were braking down, and cleaning after all of this is a horror story in itself.

Something like… Nail Fail!

Ne znam sta da vam kazem, sta je ovo… Ali mogu vam reci sta je sve trebalo da ispadne. Prvo sam mislila da bude trouglasti nail art, zatim trouglasti sa tackicama, onda leptir, onda… nesto nedefinisano. I jeste na kraju ostalo nedefinisano, zato sto predstavlja mesavinu svega onoga sto je trebalo da bude. Mozda trouglasti leptir? U svakom slucaju, koristila sam :

I don’t know to tell you,what it is… But I can tell you what it’s suppose to be. First I thought it can be triangular nail art, then triangular with dots, then butterfly, then… something undefined. And in the end it was something undefined, because it represent mix of all those things that it suppose to be. Maybe triangular butterfly? Anyway, I used :


  • Golden Rose Paris Nail Lacquer 214
  • Golden Rose Pretty Color 141
  • Essence (Cute As Hell) – Bad Girl
  • Essence – Dress to Party
  • Essence (Show Your Feet) – In the Jungle
  • Maybelline Mini Colorama – Urban Orange

Kao sto mozete pogoditi, ne svidja mi se kako je ispalo. Sta vi mislite? Jel bas toliko katastrofalno?

As you can guess, I don’t like how it turned out. What do you think? Is it totally disaster?
