Matching Manicure : Halloween Castle and Backyard

Matching Manicures nedelja me je podsetila da je Noć Veštica veoma blizu, tako da sam odlučila da vam u narednih nekoliko dana dam ideje kakve nokte možete imate te noći. Veoma mi je žao što se ovaj praznik ne slavi kod nas, pogotovo zato što mi se jako dopada ideja maskiranja. Srećom, ove godine Noć Veštica ću provesti u Transilvaniji, i iskreno se nadam da ću napokon doživeti taj duh Noći Veštica. 
Za moj manikir danas, odlučila sam se za klasiku kada je u pitanju Noć Veštica : bundeve, paukovu mrežu i pauka, slepe miševe, i jedan užasan dvorac. Korstila sam moj omiljeni lak za ovaj praznik, Essence - Bad Girl, Miyo - Black i BM-222 za pečate bundeva, akrilne boje i crnu akvarel bojicu. 

Matching Manicures Sunday reminded me that Halloween is really close, so I decided to give you, in the next couple of days few ideas for your perfect Halloween nail art that you can wear that night. We don't celebrate this holiday here in Serbia, but I really like whole idea about Halloween and especially masking in costumes. Luckily, this year for Halloween I will be in Transylvania, and I hope that I will finally experience true spirit of Halloween. 
For my manicure today, I decided to go with all things that are related for Halloween : pumpkins, spider web and spider, bats, and one horrible castle. I used my favourite polish that I always use for this holiday, Essence - Bad Girl, Miyo - Black and BM-222 for stamping pumpkins, acrylic paints and black aquarelle paint.

Guess Who's Waiting for a Witch?

Planiram ovaj post da napišem još od ponedeljka, ali je ova nedelja bila prava ludnica. Verujem da, da dan ima 36h, ne bi uspevala da uradim sve ono što isplaniram. Ako me pratite na Facebook-u, sigurno ste već videli sliku ovog manikira. Moj prvi ovogodišnji manikir za Noć Veštica. Znam da ovaj praznik nije popularan kod nas, ali mi je to jedinstvena prilika da imam totalno mračne veštice, čudovišta i duhove na noktima a da ljudi ne smatraju da sam 100% luda. Samo 95%.
Kao i prošle godine za Noć Veštica, i ove godine je Bundle Monster organizovao nail art takmičenje, a ove godine je tema Cirque de Freak”. Za ovaj manikir bila sam inspirisana sa dve slike koje sam našla na Google-u od kojih je jedna pozivnica za maskenbal za Noć Veštica.

I’m planning to write this post since Monday, but this week was really crazy. I believe that, if day would have 36 hours, I still couldn't do everything that I plan to do. If you follow me on Facebook, you probably already seen this picture of my mani. My first Halloween nail art for this year. We don’t celebrate Halloween in Serbia, but I think about it like a unique opportunity to have totally dark witches, monsters and ghosts on nails and still not to be considered 100% crazy. Just 95%.
Like last year for Halloween, this year Bundle Monster also have a nail art contest, and theme is “Cirque de Freak”. For this mani I was inspired by two pictures that I found on Google and one of them was Halloween Costume Party invitation.

Znam da je takmičenje Bundle Monster-a, kao i svaki put, ustvari takmičenje u popularnosti tako da ovog puta nemam nikakva očekivanja. Ako se vama ipak dopada moj nail art i želite da glasate za mene, to možete uraditi tako što kliknete OVDE. Može da se glasa jednom dnevno.
Da li vam se dopada ova veštica i čudovište koje je čeka u zamku? Da li slavite Noć Veštica? Ako da, šta planirate ove godine?

I know that Bundle Monster contest is, like always, just a popularity contest so this time I don’t have any expectations. If you like my nail art and you really want to vote for me, you can do it by clicking HERE. You can vote once per day.
Do you like this witch and monster that is waiting for her in a castle? Do you celebrate Halloween? If yes, what are your plans this year?

Matching Manicures : Breast Cancer Awarness

Već duže vreme želim da se pridružim našim blogerkama u "Matching Manicures" koji redovno objavljuju nedeljom, a ovonedeljna tema je bila ono što me je nateralo da se pokrenem. Kao što verovatno već znate, oktobar je mesec borbe protiv raka dojke. Evo nekih činjenica koje je možda vas pokrenu da brinete o sebi kako bi uspešno izbegle ovu okrutnu bolest. (izvor : http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-facts)
- Jednoj od osam žena bude dijagostikovan rak dojke tokom njenog života!
- Rak dojke je najčešća vrsta raka dijagnostikovana kod žena!
- Rak dojke je drugi po redu uzrok smrti kod žena! 
Simbol borbe protiv raka dojke je pink trakica. Pink trakica se povezuje sa individualnom velikodušnošću, nadom u naučna istraživanja, i "Ja to mogu" stavom. (izvor : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_cancer
Učinite sebi uslugu, i obavljajte redovno pregled!

For a while now, I wanted to join Balkan blogers in "Matching Manicures" which is published every Sunday, and this Sunday theme was the one that enocurged me to join. As you probably know, October is the Breast Cancer Awareness month. Here are some facts that will maybe force you to take care of yourself and avoid this cruel illness. (source :  http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-facts)
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
- Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women.
- Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women.
Symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness is pink ribbon. The pink ribbon is associated with individual generosity, faith in scientific progress, and a "can-do"attitude. (source :  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_cancer
Do yourself a favor, and check yourself regularly!


Za moj manikir danas, obavezna je bila pink trakica! Koristila sam : Zoya - Sweet, Golden Rose #307, Essence - Party Princess i akrilne boje. 

For my mani today, pink ribbon was a must! I used : Zoya - Sweet, Golden Rose #307, Essence - Party Princess and acrylic paints.

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?

Roses...finally!

U zadnje vreme bila sam mnogo lenja. Prvo sam bila lenja da lakiram nokte. Da mi je neko rekao da će mi se to ikada dogoditi, ne bi verovala. Ali dogodilo se. Zatim sam počela da ih povremeno lakiram, ali sam bila lenja da sednem i napišem post. Sve sam uredno uploadovala ali ovih par rečenica koje sam morala da smislim mi se činilo kao jako težak zadatak. Sada nokte opet skoro redovno lakiram, a vreme je da počnem da redovnije i pišem.
Pre nekih dve nedelje, dobila sam poštu i priznajem da je to ono što me je podstaklo da sednem i nalakiram nokte posle dužeg vremena. U pitanju je paketić iz kkcenterhk.com sa ovom divnom pločicom koju sam prosto morala odmah da isprobam.
Ime pločice je F08 a sadrži ukupno devet sličica koje možete ispečatirati na nokte. Isprobala sam ih sve na papiru, i skoro sve su se transferovale odlično.
Lately I was really lazy. First I was lazy to polish my nails. If somebody told me that that could happend, I would never believe it. But it happend. Then I started polishing my nails occasionaly, but I was to lazy to sit down and write a post. I did uploaded posts but these few sentances that I needed to write seemed like a really hard task. Now I polish my nails almost daily, and it is time for me to start writing.
A few weeks ago, I got mail and I admit that that was the thing that pushed me to sit down and polish my nails after long time. It is a package from kkcenterhk.com with this lovely stamping plate that I just had to try out imidiatelly.
Name of the plate is F08 and is has total of 9 images that you can stamp over nails. I tried them all on paper, and most of it transfered great.

Na noktima sam želela da isprobam ove dve divne ruže. Pretpostavljam da ruže nisu teške ni za nacrtati, a i postoji toliko tutorijala na internetu, ali mi nikada nije palo na pamet da sednem i stvarno probam da ih nacrtam. Zahvaljujući ovoj pločici, napokon imam ruže na noktima :).
Podloga je Perfect #08, bela boja kojom sam nanosila sličice pečatom je Farmasi 02, a žute tačkice su napravljene akrilnom bojom.
On nails I wanted to try out these lovely two roses. I suppose that drawing roses on nails is pretty easy to do, and there are so many tutorials online, but it had never crossed my mind to sit and just try to draw them. Thanks to these plate, I finally have roses on nails :).
Base color is Perfect #08, white color which I used for stamping is Farmasi 02, and yellow dots are made with acrylic paint.
