Mosaic

Kad god stvarno želim da crtam po noktima, a nemam nikakvu ideju, uvek mi na pamet padne mozaik. Sve što vam treba za njega je mirna ruka, i mnogo lakova za nokte. Prednost je što je šareno, lepo i zanimljivo, ali mana je što se jako sporo suši. Ako pokušate ovako nešto, predlažem da upotrebite belu boju kao podlogu kako bi mogle da izbegnete višeslojno nanošenje laka za nokte. Iskreno, nemam pojma koje sam sve lakove koristila, pošto sam uzimala svaki koji mi je bio blizu, ali ono što znam je da sam se jako zabavila crtajući ovo :).

Whenever I really want to draw my nails, but I don't have any idea, mosaic always come to my mind. All you need for it is steady hand, and lots of nail polishes. Good thing is that it is colorful, nice and interesting, but bad thing is that it dries really slow. If you are trying to make something like this, I suggest using white base so you can avoid multiple coats of nail polish. To be honest, I have no idea what colors I used, since I just grabbed every that was near me in that moment, but I know I had a blast doing this :).

Da li vam se dopada? Jeste li probale nekad ovako nešto da napravite? Šta vi radite sa noktima kada imate vremena i volje, ali ne i ideje za neki nail art?

Do you like it? Have you ever tried to make something like this? What do you do on your nails when you have time and good mood, but don’t have idea for nail art?

Golden Rose Rich Color #44 & Rainbow Stamping Decal

Ovih dana, lap top je baš odlučio da me muči. Nakon par dana nerviranja, sada kao radi (da, ali još uvek neće da otvori pola programa). Danas ću vam pokazati lak koji sam nosila na noktima pre par dana, Golden Rose Rich Color #44. Nekako, i dalje mi je teško da se naviknem na odličnu četkicu i dobru formulu Golden Rose lakova. I dalje ih pomalo izbegavam zbog iskustva sa onom njihovom standardnom linijom. 

Uglavnom, ovaj lak je poprilično dobar. Nanosi se u dva sloja, što me nije sprečilo da nalakiram četiri. Naime, imala sam problema sa ostavljanjem tragova četkice na noktima, pa sam lakirala dok god nisam postigla ujednačenu površinu. Za ovu boju, vredelo je. 

These days, I had a lot of troubles with my lap top. After few days of that, now it is kind of working (yes, it still doesn't open half of files). Today I'm going to show you nail polish that I wore few days ago, Golden Rose Rich Color #44. Somehow, it is still hard for me to get use to a great brush and good formula of Golden Rose polishes. I still kind of avoid them because of the experience that I had with their standard line. 

Anyway, this nail polish is pretty good. It is opaque in two coats, which didn't stop me to apply four. I had a problems with brush strokes that showed on nails after every move, so I kept on polishing until I reached a evened area. For this color, it was worth it. 

Nakon toga, odlučila sam da probam da sama napravim nalepnice pomoću pečata. Pratila sam tutorijal sa bloga Spellbinging Nails. 

After that, I decided to try out to make stamping decals. I followed a tutorial that you can find here, on Spellbinging Nails blog.

Ovo je stvarno odlična tehnika, i, iako umete da pečatirate nokte, umećete i ovo. Posebno mi je interesantna jer mogu da pola dana nosim samo lak na noktima, a onda samo zalepim nalepnicu koju sam ranije napravila. 

Jeste li probale ovu tehniku? Da li vam se svidja ovaj lak?

This is really a great technique, and, if you can stamp nails, you can do this. I find it especially interesting because I can wear only nail polish for half of a day, and then just stick decal that I made earlier. 

Have you tried this technique? Do you like this nail polish?

Late Birthday Post

Kao što već znate, rođendan mi je bio pre nekih dve nedelje. Obećala sam vam da ću vam pokazati iznenađenja koja sam dobila, pa evo ih. Prvo, tu je torta od mojih dragih cimerki. Dobro ste primetile, u obliku laka za nokte je :). I moram da napomenem da je bila preukusna sa puno jagoda u sebi :).

As you already know, my birthday was about two weeks ago. I promised I will show you surprises that I got, and here they are. First, there is a cake from my dear roommates. Yes, it is nail polish shaped :). And I have to tell you that it was delicious with lots of strawberries in it :).

A sećate li se kada sam rekla da dok god je holo poklon, odličan je? Muškarcima je to dovoljno čim ne moraju da razmišljaju o tome šta da kupe, pa su se moj dragi i moja mama udružili i kupili mi ova tri Layla holo lakića. Samo što nisam pala u nesvest kada sam ih videla :). 

And do you remember when I said that when present is holo it is perfect? It seems to be enough for men because they don't have to think about what to buy, so my boyfriend and my mum joined forces and bought me these three Layla holographic nail polishes. I almost fainted when I saw them :). 

I odmah sam nalakirala Layla - Mercury Twilight. Moram priznati da sam se potpuno zaljubila. Ovako jak holo efekat me je oduševio i pomalo zaslepeo :D. Kao duga u dugi koja se preliva kroz dugu :). Jeste da se lak nanosi u 4 sloja, ali to mi nije bilo bitno. Svaki dodatni sloj se sušio sve brže i izgledao sve lepše. Prestaću da pričam i prepustiću da slike govore svoje :).

And I applied Layla - Mercury Twilight immediately. I have to admit that I completely fell in love. This strong holo effect is amazing. Like a rainbow inside of a rainbow that you can see when you look through the rainbow :). It is opaque in 4 coats, but that doesn't matter. Every coat dried fast and looked prettier than the previous one. I will stop talking now and will leave pictures to tell you everything :). 

Takođe, pročitala sam na nekoliko blogova da se ovaj lak jako brzo ljušti. Pošto bilo kakav top coat uništava holo efekat, našla sam novo rešenje - Flormar Nail Enamel Dryer. Sa njim, ovaj lak je bio na mojim noktima bez ikakvih oštećenja punih 5 dana. Šta mislite o laku? Da li vam se dopada? Mislite li da će ikada prestati ovaj trend holo lakova?

Also, I read on several blogs that this polish chips fast. Since all top coats ruins holo effect, I found new solution - Flormar Nail Enamel Dryer. With it, this polish lasted on my nails for 5 days without a single chip. What do you think about this nail polish? Do you like it? Do you think that this holo effect trend will ever stop?

Recipe for Amazing Nail Art

Šta ispadne kada pomešate sjajno i mat, onda dodate malo neonskih boja i na to dodate malo malo duohrom efekta? Verujte mi, ovaj recept je sjajan. Možda sam trebala dodati još neki hologramski detalj da sve to začinim još malo ali i ovako izgleda divno. 

Koristila sam : Essence - Romeo, Black acrylic paint, Ebalay A08, Flormar N002, Flormar N008, Flormar N014, Rapsodi #191 i Isabelle Dupont #282. 

What do you get when you mix shiny and matte, and then add a little bit of neon colors and on top of it you add some duochrome effect? Trust me, this recipe is grate. Maybe I could add some holographic details to spice it all a little bit more, but it definitely looks amazing this way. 

I used : Essence - Romeo, Black acrylic paint, Ebalay A08, Flormar N002, Flormar N008, Flormar N014, Rapsodi #191 and Isabelle Dupont #282.

Colorful Sunday

Danas sam zelela da se malo opustim, i napravim nesto jednostavnije. Pala mi je na pamet ideja da bi sarene kockice interesantno izgledale. Interesantne jesu, jednostavne jesu, ali mi je trebalo dosta vremena da ih napravim, i mnoooogo razlicitih lakova. Ne znam ni sama koje sam sve upotrebila, posto sam ih povadila sve napolje, i uzimala prvu bocicu koja mi padne pod ruku, vodeci racuna samo da se boje ne ponavljaju. Jedino za sta sam 100% sigurna da sam koristila je bela akrilna boja izmedju kockica. I priznajem, bilo je opustajuce :).


Today I wanted to relax a bit, and make some simple nail art. It crossed my mind that colorful squares would look interesting. They are interesting, they are simple, but it took a lot of time making them, and A LOT of nail polishes. I don’t even know which ones I used, since I pulled them all out, and I would take first bottle that was near me, thinking only about not using same bottle twice. Only thing I’m 100% sure I used, is white acrylic paint between squares. And I admit, it was relaxing :).







Jeste li pravile nekad ovako nesto ili mozda imate u planu? Sta mislite o ovom nail art-u?

Did you made something like this or do you have it planed? What do you think about this nail art?

Spilled Paint

Videla sam ovo na nekoliko blogova jos ranije, i cinilo mi se simpaticnim. Ali na mojim noktima, i nije bas. Nisam radila ni po jednom tutorijalu, nego onako po secanju, i tek kad sam zavrsila shvatila sam da ili mojim noktima ne stoji ovakav manikir, ili sam negde u koracima pogresila. Nekako, previse neuredno izgleda (znam da tako i treba, ali ipak…).

I saw this on few blogs earlier, and it seemed cute. But on my nails, it’s not really. I didn’t done this watching tutorials, I did as I remembered it, and after I was done, I realized that or this doesn’t look good on my nails, or I made some mistakes in steps. Somehow, it’s too messy (I know it suppose to be, but still…).

Jeste probale ovo da uradite? Jako je lako, ali meni se bas i ne svidja toliko koliko sam mislila da ce…

Have you tried to do this? It’s easy, but I don’t like it as much as I thought it would…

Colorful linear glitter

Ne znam za vas, ali ja kada vidim neki lak, vec zamisljam ideje za nail art, ukoliko je glitter, na koju podlogu cu uraditi swatch… Ovog puta, bila sam bez ideja. Jednostavno, kupila sam Golden Rose Paris Nail Lacquer #70 zato sto se sjajio sa police. I sada kada je doslo vreme da uradim swatch, nisam znala sta cu kao bazu. Zeleci da vam pokazem sve njegove vrline i mane, nalakirala sam ga na 5 razlicitih boja.
Pre nego sto pocnem sa spamom slikama : ono je providan lak sa zlatkastim shimmerom, i sa mnogo linearnih glitera (da, izgleda kao dlakav :D). Kada ga okrecem u ruci levo desno, mogu videti celu dugu koja se na slikama bas i nije uhvatila. Ali prilicno je strava :). Aplkacija je bila laka i nisam imala nikakvih problema, a probala sam ga sa jednim i 2 sloja. Meni se vise svidja sa 2 sloja, ali svi smo mi razliciti :).

I don’t know for you, but every time I see a polish, I already have some nail art ideas, or if it’s glitter, on which base I will swatch it… This time, I was without a single idea. Simply, I bought Golden Rose Paris Nail Lacquer #70 only because it was shining from the shelf. And now when it’s time to swatch it, I didn’t know which base to use. I wanted to show you all it’s good and bad sides, so I polished it on top of 5 different colors.
Before I start with picture spam : this is a clear nail polish, with gold shimmer, with lots of linear glitters (yes, it looks like it’s hairy :D). When I swing a bottle left and right, I can see whole rainbow. It’s pretty cool :). Application was nice and smooth, and I tried with 1 and 2 coats. I prefer it with 2 coats, but we are all different from each other :).

Kao sto mozete videti, jako je bilo tesko uslikati ove glitter i njihovu razlicitu boju. Ali mi se svidja :D.

Stiglo mi je iz Born Pretty Store-a jos brdo ovakvih glittera u kutijicama, pa mislim da cu se uskoro uhvatiti muckanja :).

 

As you can see, it was really hard to catch this glitters and their different color. But I love it :D.

I got from Born Pretty Store lots of this kind a glitters, so I think I will soon start to shake some bottles :).

Black stripes

Danas sam lakirala nokte 4 puta, pokusavajuci da napravim nesto sto ce nadmasiti ono od juce, ali nije mi se svidelo ni jedno. Ocigledno, danas mi nije dan. Evo poslednjeg (ostali mi se nisu svideli cak ni toliko da ih uslikam)…

Today I polished my nails 4 times, trying to make something better than yesterday one, but I didn’t like nothing that I made. Obviously, today is not my day. Here’s the last one (I even didn’t pictured first three, I really didn’t liked them)…

Nije tako lose, ali ne svidja mi se sto su mi linije mnogo neravne. Sta vi mislite?

It’s not that bad, but I don’t like the lines are so uneven. What do you think?

Colorful mosaic

Cao devojke! Prvo, zelela bih da se izvinim sto me nije bilo. Uhvatila me je gadna prehlada, tako da sam proslu nedelju provela u krevetu. Nisam bila raspolozena ni za sta, pa ni za crtanje noktiju. Danas mi je malo bolje, tako da sam crtala, i osecala se odlicno. Verujte mi, raditi nesto za svoju dusu je najbolji lek za sve bolesti. I evo sta sam uradila.

Hi girls! First, I want to apologize for not being here. I caught a bad cold, so I spent most of the last week in bed. I wasn’t in the mood for anything, not even for nail art. Today I felt a little bit better, so I draw, and I felt awesome. Believe me, doing something for your soul is the best cure for every illness. And here is what I did.












Koristila sam samo akrilne boje : svetlo plavu, svetlo zelenu, crvenu, zutu i crnu. U mojoj glavi je izgledalo mnogo lepse, ali sam zadovoljna i ovim. Sta vi mislite o ovim malim mozaicima?

I used acryl paints only : light blue, light green, red, yellow and black. It looks a lot better in my head, but I’m satisfied with this too. What do you think about this little mosaics?
