Easter Chick with flowers

Uskrs je sutra a moji nokti su već spremni. To opet ne znači da sutra neću smisliti nešto novo i napraviti novi manikir. Danas je na mojim noktima mnogo cveća, nekoliko leptirića i naravno - pile kao jedan od simbola Uskrsa. 

Koristila sam Art de Lautrec #421, Bundle Monster pločicu za pečatiranje BM-H010 i akrilne boje.

Easter is tomorrow and my nails are already ready. That doesn't mean that I won't think of something new tomorrow and make new manicure. Today on my nails there are lot of flowers, few butterflies and of course - chick as one of the Easter symbols. 

I used Art de Lautrec #421, Bundle Monster stamping plate BM-H010 and acrylic paints.

Da li vam se dopada pile? Šta imate u planu za vaše Uskršnje nokte?

Do you like this chick? What do you have in plan for your Easter nails?

Stamping Easter Eggs

Nadam se da ste spremne za farbanje jaja sutra. Kod mene je sve spremno, pa čak i nokti koje sam "ofarbala" čak i pre jaja. Za farbanje noktiju, ovog puta sam koristila distressed tehniku (koju inače obožavam u poslednje vreme) i pečat sa pločice BM-H10. Za distressed tehniku koristila sam Essence - My Yellow Fellow, Essence - I like, i Essence - Bloom-A-Loom. 

I hope that you are ready for painting eggs tomorrow. I got all set, even my nails that I had to paint before eggs. For painting nails, this time I used distressed technique (which I, by the way, love lately) and stamping plate BM-H10. For distressed technique I used Essence - My Yellow Fellow, Essence - I like, and Essence - Bloom-A-Loom. 

Da li se radujete farbanju jaja? Ima li neka od vas u planu da iskoristi lakove za nokte za farbanje jaja? Videla sam neke članke o ovome, i čine se veoma interesantno.

Are you looking forward to painting eggs? Do you have in plan to use nail polishes for egg painting? I saw a few articles about this, and it seems really amazing.

Matching Manicure - Flowers

U poslednje vreme sam oduševljena pečatiranjem hologramskim lakovima. Vodila sam se onim da je skuplje - bolje, tako da sam pokušavala sa China Glaze i Layla lakovima međutim bilo je bezuspešno. Kako su nam stigli sunčani dani, obratila sam malo više pažnje na moje holo lakove, i setila se da imam celu Perfect Holographic kolekciju (da, potpuno sam zaboravila na njih). Uspela sam iz prvog pokušaja da ispečatiram cvetiće, što je i tema za današnji Matching Manicure.

Koristila sam : Avon - Violetta, Perfect H04 i Perfect H06. Pločica sa koje sam pečatirala ima naziv Disc-02 i možete je naći u Alexandar Cosmetics-u.

Lately, I really like when I see stamping with holographic polishes. I thought that the more expensive polish is, bigger is chance that it will be good for stamping, so I mostly tried with China Glaze and Layla polishes but it was unsuccessful. Since there were few sunny days in a row, I paid more attention to my holo polishes, and remembered that I have whole Perfect Holographic collection (yes, I forgot about it). It worked from the first try and I stamped flowers which were the theme for this week Matching Manicure.

I used : Avon - Violetta, Perfect H04 and Perfect H06. Stamping plate that I used is Disc-02 bought in Serbian store Alexandar Cosmetics.

Ne zaboravite da pogledate i cvetiće koje su devojke nacrtale.

Don't forget to check out flowers that girls drew.

Matching Manicure - Saran Wrap

Nisam koristila Saran Wrap tehniku baš dugo. A volim je. Zabavna je i nikada ne znam šta će na kraju ispasti. Zbog ovih prolećnih dana koje smo imali ove nedelje, odlučila sam da je napravim moj prvi cvetni manikir ove godine. Koristila sam : Classics - 135, Essence - The One and Only, Miyo - Black, Gina Tricot Beauty - Bright Peach i pločicu BM - 221.

I haven't used Saran Wrap technique for a really long time. And I like it. It is fun and I never know what it will turn out in the end. Because of these spring days that we had this week, I decided to make my first flower mani this year. I used : Classics - 135, Essence - The One and Only, Miyo - Black, Gina Tricot Beauty - Bright Peach and BM-221 stamping plate. 

Pogledajte i kako su ispali Saran Wrap manikiri ostalih devojaka. Ja sam oduševljena!

Check out how other girls made Saran Wrap mani. I was speechless.

Matching Maniure - Snowflakes

Iako smo se za temu Pahuljice dogovorile još pre mesec dana, početkom ove nedelje sam pomislila da bi možda trebalo da predložim da je ipak pomerimo za sledeći mesec. Srećom, sneg me je preduhitrio, a i bilo je vreme, dosta mi je proleća u sred zime. 

Znam da sam imala i previše vremena da smislim šta da nacrtam, ali u poslednje vreme nemam nešto inspiracije. Zbog toga sam ipak išla prečicom - pečatiranjem. A ako sad ne isprobam ove Bundle Monster pločice, moraću da čekam sledeću godinu. Nalakirala sam prvo Flormar #431, inače jedan od mojih favorita za snežne manikire, i preko njega ispečatirala pahuljice sa pločice BM-H02.

Although we agreed to make Snowflakes a month ago, in the beginning of this week I thought that I should maybe suggest girls that we move it to next month. Luckily, snow started to fall few days ago, and it was about time, I'm sick of Spring in the middle of Winter.

I know I had a lot of time to think about what to draw, but I don't really have inspiration lately. That is why I took shortcut - stamping. And if I don't try these Bundle Monster plates now, I would have to wait whole year. I polished my nails with Flormar #431, by the way - it is one of my favourites to use on snow manicures, and over it, I stamped snowflakes from plate BM-H02.

Imam jednu molbu. Za 10 dana slavimo blogorodjendan, i ako možete, pokušajte da odgovorite na dva pitanja iz upitnika koji se nalazi u sidebar-u. Mnogo će mi pomoći.

Takođe, ne zaboravite da vidite i pahuljice koje su devojke napravile na linkovima ispod :).

I have to ask you something. In 10 days, we are celebrating Blogoversary, and if you can, try to answer on those two questions that are in the sidebar. It will mean a lot to me.

Also, don't forget to check out snowflakes that girls made :).

Happy New Year!

Još samo nekoliko sati je ostalo do Nove godine, a moji nokti su napokon spremni. Sve ostalo nije, ali to nije ni važno :). Svake godine se odlučim za krupne šljokice i cirkone za Novogodišnju noć, ali ovog puta sam želela malo drugačije. China Glaze - Water You Waiting For i BM-H03

Only few more hours left until New Year, and my nails are finally ready. Everything else isn't but that isn't important :). Each year I decide for huge glitter and rhinestones for New Years Eve, but this time, I wanted something different. China Glaze - Water You Waiting For and BM-H03. 

Šta je na vašim noktima večeras? Želim vam sve najbolje i najlepše u Novoj godini!

What is on your nails tonight? I wish you all the best in New Year!

Ugly Christmas Sweater

Jeste li primetili da u skoro svim (ako ne i svim) Božićnim filmovima nose ove ružne džempere sa Božićnim  motivima? Primetila sam ih i kod nas po prodavnicama, ali nikada nisam i poželela da ih kupim. Takođe, vidim da svi nose helanke sa ovakvim motivima ove zime.

Moje Bundle Monster Holiday pločice su stigle tačno dan posle Božića, što bi značilo da moram da čekam sledeću godinu da isprobam Božićne motive. Srećom, naš Božić je za 8 dana, tako da ću iskoristiti i ovaj međubožićni period za to :).

Koristila sam China Glaze – Ruby Pumps, Miyo – Black, Essence – Piece of Forever i BM-H01.

Did you notice that in almost all (if not all) Christmas movies people wear these ugly sweaters with Christmas patterns? I saw them here in stores but I never wanted to buy them. Also, I see that everyone wear pants this winter with these patterns.

My Bundle Monster Holiday plates arrived exactly day after Christmas, and I couldn't wait another year to try Christmas patterns from it. Luckily, in Serbia, we celebrate Christmas in 8 days, so I'm going to use this between Christmases period for it :).

I used China Glaze – Ruby Pumps, Miyo – Black, Essence – Piece of Forever and  BM-H01.

Izvinjavam se zbog malo lošijih slika, ali danas je u podne napolju bilo kao da je veče, bez zraka sunca, i nisam uspela da iskontrolišem blic fotoaparata.

I’m sorry for a little bit blurry pictures, but in the noon today, visibility was like it was night, there was no Sun, and I couldn't control my camera flash. 

Inspired by Ornaments

Još uvek me drži Božićno raspoloženje. Prošle godine kada sam crtala po novogodišnjim ukrasima lakovima za nokte, želela sam da napravim jedan sa kružnim linijama, ali mi nikako nije uspevalo. Veoma jednostavno izgleda, ali je teško napraviti potpuno istovetne po celom ukrasu. Slično sam planirala da napravim i na noktima ali sam imala isti problem. Do skoro, nisam ni primetila da ovakav uzorak postoji na Bundle Monster pločici BM 201. Da razbijem monotoniju, napravila sam jedan nokat sa uzorkom sa pločice BM 203. Kao i mnogo puta do sada, Essence - Piece of Forever se pokazao odličnim za pečatiranje.

I'm still in a Christmas mood. Last year when I drew on Christmas ornaments with nail polishes, I wanted to make one with circular lines, but it didn't work. It looks simple, but it is hard to make same lines on whole ornament. I also planned to make some similar on my nails but I had same problem. Recently, I noticed that there is pattern like that on Bundle Monster plate BM 201. And to add it a little twist, I made one nail with pattern from plate BM 203. Like many times before, Essence - Piece of Forever was great to stamp with.

Matching Manicures–Nimbus

Ove nedelje za temu Matching Manicure-a je predložen Nimbus. Priznajem, nisam imala pojma šta je nimbus.

Da skrenemo malo sa teme nimbusa, i uopšte noktiju. Recite mi, da vidite negde natpis "Dlakavo žbunasto voće" da li biste poželeli da ga kupite? Mene su izgubili već na "dlakavo". Morate priznati, važan deo marketinga je brendiranje, i samo ime mnogo utiče na percepciju proizvoda. To je bilo jedno od imena, a onda su izvoznici sa Novog Zelanda shvatili da ga ljudi iz Evrope i Amerike baš i ne prihvataju... Pa su promenili ime u Kivi. Znate onu malu zelenu ptičicu Kivi? Plan je i bio da vas asocira nju, a i ime je samo po sebi mnogo pamtljivije i naravno ljudi su ga prihvatili. Priznajem, obožavam kivi.

Vratimo se sada na nokte. Sećate li se da je postojala watercolor tehnika? Znate ono, umočite četkicu u lak, pa u vodu i pravite tačkice na noktima? A onda se neko dosetio da zameni vodu acetonom, a četkicu čačkalicom za uši, i dao mu zvučno ime - nimbus. Malo podseća na Hari Potera. I ljudi su ga prihvatili kao da je u pitanju ne znam ni ja kakva inovacija. Evo te inovacije... 

This week for Matching Manicures theme someone suggested Nimbus. I admit, I had no idea what nimbus is.

Let's talk about something that is not nimbus, or nails, related. Tell me, if you see a sign in a store that says "Hairy Bush Fruit" would you want to buy it? They lost me on "hairy". You have to admit, important part of marketing is brand, and name really effects on perception of product. It was one of the names, and then exporters from New Zealand realized that people from Europe and America don't really accept it... So they changed the name to Kiwi. You know that little bird called Kiwi? The plan was to make a connection between Kiwi fruit and Kiwi bird in peoples brain, and the name Kiwi itself is more easier to remember and of course people accepted it. I admit, I love Kiwi. 

Let's get back to nails. Do you remember watercolour technique? You know, put a brush in nail polish, then in water and make dots on nails? And than someone switched water with acetone and brush with q-tip, and it a name that sound really good - nimbus. It kind of reminds on Harry Potter. And people accepted it like it is some big innovation. Here is that innovation...

Nikada nisam volela tehniku sa vodenim bojama, previše je nedefenisano sve što nastane kada se ona koristi. Kod mene, mora da bude nekih oštrih linija :). Sredila sam stvar sa pečatom sa pločice BM-225.

I never like water color technique, everything made with it is too much undefined. With me, everything has to have sharp lines :). So I fixed it with stamp from plate BM-225.

Da li volite dlakavo žbunasto voće? Šta mislite o ovoj takozvanoj inovaciji zvanoj nimbus? Pogledajte i ostale nimbuse i po kojeg pingvina koje su devojke napravile : 

Do you like Hairy Bush Fruit? What do you think about this so called innovation nimbus? 

Take a look other nimbuses and some penguins that girls made : 

Cute Halloween Nail Art

Ko kaže da Noć Veštica mora biti strašna? Slepi miševi nekada (mada samo nacrtani) mogu biti i slatki. Nakon nekoliko strašnih Halloween nail art-ova koje sam vam pokazala, danas, baš na Noć Veštica, pokazaću vam slatku sovicu i slepe miševe.

Ako volite zelene lakove za nokte, ovo je lak koji morate imati. China Glaze – Cha Cha Cha. Magično svetlo zeleni lak koji po mom mišljenju stoji svakome lepo. Lak se nanosi u samo dva sloja, i ima neki divan zlatni shimmer u sebi.

Who says that Halloween has to be scary? Bats can sometimes (although only on pictures) looks even cute. After few scary Halloween nail arts that I showed you, today, on Halloween, I’m gonna show you one cute owl with bats.

If you love green nail polishes, this is the one that you must have. China Glaze – Cha Cha Cha. Magic bright green nail polish that I think will look good on anybody. Polish is opaque in just two coats, and it has gorgeous gold shimmer in it. 

Preko njega sam nacrtala sovicu, slepe miševe i paukovu mrežu. Inspiraciju sam dobila sa slike Iphone futrole ili tako nečega, koju sam sačuvala još odavno na telefonu, ali sada nisam uspela da je nađem na internetu. Koristila sam China Glaze – Cha Cha Cha, Farmasi #02, akrilne boje i pločicu za pečatiranje BM –203.

Over it, I drew owl, bats and cobweb. I got inspired by picture of iPhone case or something like that, that I saved on my phone a while ago, but I couldn't find a source now. I used China Glaze – Cha Cha Cha, Farmasi #02, acrylic paints, and stamping plate BM - .203. 

Kakvi su vaši planovi za večeras? U šta ćete biti maskirane?

What are your plans for tonight? What will be your costume?
