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?

Hearts in the Dark

Lakovi koji svetle u mraku se nešto što morate imate za vaš manikir za Noć Veštica. Mada ne samo tada, jer oni umeju da budu korisni i u svakodnevnim situacijama ( :D ko je razumeo, razumeo je; ko nije, razumeće). Moje druženje sa lakovima koji svetle u mraku je počelo prošle godine, a od tada se njihov broj u mojoj kolekciji konstantno povećava. Najnoviji od njih je BK #06 koji sam dobila od divne Xana za rođendan.

BK #06 je plavi jelly lak koji svetli zeleno u mraku, i mada na noktima izgleda kao da nije osušen (uvek tako izgleda), jeste. Lak je malo vodenaste formule, pa predlažem da ga lakirate preko belog laka za nokte. Ja sam ga lakirala bez podloge, i nanela sam 6 slojeva laka, a još uvek možete videti liniju nokta.

Glow in the dark nail polishes are something that you must have for your Halloween manicure. Although, not just then, because they can be useful in some everyday activities ( :D who understood, understood; who didn’t, you will). I first tried glow in the dark nail polishes last year, and since then, their number in my stash is constantly growing. Newest is BK #06 which I got from lovely Xana for my birthday.

BK #06 is a blue jelly nail polish that glows green in the dark, and although it looks on nails like it’s not dried (it always looks like that), it is. Formula is kind of watery, so I suggest applying it over white base. I painted it without any base, and applied 6 coats of polish, but you can still see visible nail line. 

Da učinim ovo malo interesantnijim, nacrtala sam nekoliko srca belom akrilnom bojom. Ono što me je iznenadilo je sledeće : na svetlu, ovaj lak je plave boje a srca su bela; na prigušenom svetlu, lak svetli u mraku i zelene je boje, dok su srca šarena (pretpostavljam da je u pitanju neko prelivanje svetlosti preko bele boje, ali mi i dalje nije potpuno jasno); dok je u mraku onako kako sam i planirala da bude, lak svetli zeleno, a srca su crna.

To make this a little bit more interesting, I drew some hearts with white acrylic paints. And this is what surprised me : on light, this polish is blue, and hearts are white; on low light, polish glows green but hearts are rainbow colored (I suppose there is something about refexion of light over white color, but I still don’t really understand that); while in the dark is like I planned it to be, polish glows green and hearts are black. 

Da li ste probale lakove koji svetle u mraku? Šta mislite o njima?

Have you tried glow in the dark polishes? What do you think about them?

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?

Ghost Town

Znate li onu priču da noću kada sva deca spavaju, igračke se bude i igraju po sobi? A šta mislite šta se dešava za Noć Veštica kada ceo grad spava? U mojoj mašti, tada na scenu stupaju svetleći duhovi koji obleću oko grada i govore “buahahaha” :D.

Ideja je bila dobra ali vi odlučite koliko je dobro realizovana. Nacrtala sam na noktima zgrade jednog grada (koje naravno svetle u mraku) i duha koji lebdi nad njima. Trebam li da napomenem da i on svetli? Na svetlu, ovaj manikir izgleda kao da sam nalakirala crni crackle lak preko zelenog laka, međutim kada se ugasi svetlo, lako je prepoznati zgrade. Možda bi bilo još lakše da sam pravila malo deblje zelene linije, ali uključite maštu i pogledajte kako to izgleda.

Koristila sam Ebalay Grass Green Glow (009) i akrilne boje.

Have you heard of story in which when all children are sleeping, toys wake up and dance around the room? And what do you think that happens on Halloween when city sleeps? In my imagination, glowing ghosts use that time to fly around the town and scream“bwahahahaha” :D.

Idea was great but you decided is it good in reality. I drew on my nails buildings (which of course glow in the dark) and ghost that fly over them. Do I need to tell you that ghost is glowing too? On light, this mani looks like I painted black crackle polish over green polish, but when lights go down, it is easy to recognize buildings. Maybe it would be easier if I drew a little bit thicker green lines, but turn on your imagination, turn off light, and check out how this looks like.

I used .Ebalay Grass Green Glow (009)and acrylic paints. 

Da li ste uspele da prepoznate zgrade? Da li vam se dopada ovaj nail art? Noć Veštica je praznik kao stvoren za korišćenje lakova koji svetle u mraku :)

Did you recognize buildings? Do you like this nail art? Halloween is like a holiday made for using glow in the dark polishes :).

Pumpkin Tree

Oduvek sam bila fascinirana dekoracijama za Noć Veštica koje sam viđala u filmovima. Posebno mi je bila interesantna dekoracija dvorišta i prednjih vrata koja privlače decu da zakucaju na vrata i kažu ono poznato “Trick or Treat” iliti “Čast ili propast”. Kada bi dekorisala svoje dvorište u ovom stilu, neizostavne bi bile bundeve. A zamislite kako bi dobro bilo kada bi one rasle sa drveća ;).

Za ovaj nail art, koristila sam China Glaze – Get Outta My Space (koji možete videti ovde zajedno sa ostalim lakovima iz Hologlam kolekcije), pločicu za pečate BM-222 i akrilne boje.

I was always fascinated with Halloween decorations that I have seen in movies. I think that most interesting is backyard and front door decorations that scares children when they knock on door and say that well known line “Trick or Treat”. When I would decorate mine backyard in this style, I would definitely use a lot of pumpkins. And imagine how cool it would be if they would grow on trees ;).

For this nail art, I used China Glaze – Get Outta My Space (which you can see here with all other polishes from Hologlam collection), stamping plate BM-222 and acrylic paints.

Kako bi izgledala dekoracija vašeg dvorišta za Noć Veštica?

How would your backyard look like decorated for Halloween?
