The Halloween Challenge - Zombies

Znam, znam, kasnim jedan dan :). Nazalost, toliko sam se osecala lose, da nisam imala snage ni nokte da lakiram ni da sedim za kompjuterom. Malo mi je bolje, pa sam odlucila da vam pokazem moje zombice :). Iskreno, ovaj zadatak mi je bio jako tezak. Pretrazivala sam slike zombija na internetu, i svi su bili toliko gadni da nisam mogla ni da ih gledam. Pa sam nasla sliku dva (koliko toliko) ne-ruzna zombija i nacrtala ih. A polomljena srca su dosla tako, sama od sebe, pomalo nesvesno. I pokazujem ja mami, i ona pita "A sto polomljena srca?" (misleci na to kakve veze srca imaju sa zombijima), a ja onako bez ikakve sale : "Pa zato sto su ruzni :D" (misleci na to sto su polomljena srca a ne normalna) :D. 

I know, I know, I'm a one day late :). Unfortunately  I felt so sick, so I didn't had strength either to polish my nails nor to sit in front of my computer. I feel a little bit better, so I decided to show you my zombies :). To be honest, this one was really hard for me. I searched for pictures of zombies all over internet, and they were so ugly that I couldn't even look at them. And then I found picture of two not so ugly zombies and drew them. And broken hearts just came along. I showed this to my mum, and she asked my "And why broken hearts?" (thinking about why hearts and zombies in one picture), and I told her "Because they are ugly" (thinking about that hearts are broken because they are ugly) :D.

Jeste li videle sta su ostale devojke napravile? Neki od zombija su toliko strasni da sam se stvarno uplasila :). 

Have you saw what other girls did? Some of their zombies are so scary that I was really scared when I saw them :).

Inspired by Flowers

Znam da je lepo vreme skoro vec potpuno proslo, ali za cvetice na noktima, uvek je pravo vreme :). Moji cvetici na noktima danas, inspirisani su pravim cvecem koje je odjednom procvetalo ispred mojih vrata. Ljubicasti lak je Essence - The One and Only, a zuti je Essence - Happy.

I know that summer is already over, but there is no wrong time to do flowers on your nails :). My flowers on nails are inspired by a flower bush that blossomed out of nowhere right in front of my door. Purple polish is Essence - The One and Only, and yellow one is Essence - Happy.

Obozavam ovo jesenje cvece :). A vi? Sta mislite?

I love these autumn flowers :). And you? What do you think?

First Time - Saran Wrap

Znam, vec hiljadu puta sam rekla da cu probati da napravim Saran Wrap (ima li neki nas naziv za ovo?) nokte. Posto danas nisam imala inspiracije ni za sta drugo, doslo je i ovo na red. Za prvi put, odlucila sam se za kombinaciju jarko ljubicaste i svetlo ljubicaste, theBalm - Magenta Disposition and Essence - Dopey. Takodje, u nedostatku te plasticne folije koju sam videla da svi koriste, ja sam probala sa obicnom aluminijumskom folijom, i odlicno je ispalo :). 

I know, I've been telling you for a while now that I try to make Saran Wrap nails. Since I didn't had any idea for nail art, I decided to do this today. I made a combination of bright purple and light purple, theBalm - Magenta Disposition and Essence - Dopey. Also, in the lack of that plastic wrap that everybody use, I tried to do this with regular aluminium foil, and it looks grate :).

Sta vi mislite, kako izgleda? Da li ste probale da napravite Saran Wrap nokte (i da li znate nas naziv za ovo? :D )?

What do you think, do you like it? Have you tried making Saran Wrap nails? 

Taking Pictures of Glow In the Dark nail polishes

Bilo da ste bloger, pa vam je potrebna lepa slika noktiju za svoj post, ili samo zelite da postavite sliku vasih noktiju na Facebook da se pohvalite svojim prijateljima, lakovi koji svetle u mraku su uvek problem. Prvi put kada sam pokusala da ih uslikam, to je potrajalo par dana posto nikako nisam mogla da napravim dobru sliku. A onda sam cackala silna podesavanja na fotoaparatu, isprobavala razlicita okruzenja i uspela. Posto je ovo doba godine kada se najvise nose ovi lakovi na noktima, podelicu sa vama kako da ovaj proces bude sto bezbolniji :).

Za pocetak, ne brinite, ja nemam nikakav poseban fotoaparat koji kosta citavo bogatstvo. Samo obican mali BenQ sa 12mp. Prvi korak nema potrebe da vam objasnjavam, jer glasi : nalakirajte nokte! Nista tesko, zar ne? :)

Either you are blogger and you need nice nail picture for your post, or you just want to share picture on your nails on Facebook to show your friends, glow in the dark polishes are always problem. First time I tried to take picture of them, it took a few days since I couldn't make good picture. And then I tried to use all those manual settings on my camera, tried different surroundings and succeeded. Since this is the time of the year when lot of us wear this kind of polishes on our nails, I will share with you how to make this process easier and quicker :).

For start, don't worry, I don't have any special camera that cost a fortune. Just a regular small BenQ with 12mp. And there is no need to explain step one, because it is : polish your nails! That isn't really hard, right? :) 

A onda je vreme da udjete unutra. Lakovi koji svetle u mraku rade tako sto se "napune" na svetlosti, a zatim se postepeno "prazne" u mraku. Osim ako planirate da ceo dan provedete na suncu, predlazem lakse resenje . Trebace vam obicna stona lampa (radi najlakse iako moze bilo koja lampa koju mozete da primaknete skroz do noktiju), i u njoj sijalica na kojoj pise Day Light (ima ih kod kineza).

Napravite potpuni mrak u sobi, i stavite nokte ispod sijalice na oko 5 minuta. Pobrinite se da vam fotoaparat bude pri ruci, jer je najbolje da uslikate cim ugasite lampu (tada ce nokti najvise da svetle). Ukoliko ste pratile dosadasnja uputstva, slike ce vam ispasti ovakve :

And then it's time to go inside. Polishes that glow in the dark work this way : they are "charging" on light, and then they gradually "empty" in the dark. If you don't plan to spend all day under the sun, I suggest easier solution. You will need desk lamp (it works easiest, but if you don't have it you can use any lamp that you can move around), and Day Light bulb in it.

Turn off everything in room, and place your nails under the lamp for about 5 minutes. Make sure that your camera is close, because best time for shooting is the minute when you turn off the lamp (nails will glow really bright in the beginning). If you followed instructions till now, your pictures will look like this : 

Izgleda poznato, zar ne? Ostalo je samo jos malo podesavanja fotoaparata (koliko sam gledala, svaki fotoaparat ima ove opcije).

*Blic podesite na "Force Off" 
*Mod slikanja podesite na "Night Scene" 
*Fokus (koji vam je obicno na Macro dok slikate nokte) stavite na Infinity 

Obuhvatiti bocicu laka rukom, stavite je na cvrstu podlogu i pritisnite dugme za slikanje. Da slika ne bi bila zamrljana, nikako ne pomerajte ruku dok vam aparat ne pokaze da je uslikao sliku (oko 30ak sekundi). Znam da to traje malo duze nego obicno fotografisanje, ali je jedini nacin (za koji ja znam). Lak ce u pocetku da svetli jako, a zatim sve slabije. Ako se umorite, upalite opet lampu i napunite jos malo svoje nokte, pa onda nastavite slikanje.

Looks familiar, right? There are just some manual camera settings left to do (I looked around, and it seems that every camera have these options).

*Flash need to be : "Force Off" 
*Shooting mode : "Night Scene" 
*Focus (usually, when you take pictures of your nails is Macro, but) set on : Infinity 

Take the bottle of nail polish in your hand, put your hand on a desk or something like that and press button to take picture. To avoid blurry pictures, don't move your hand (nails) until camera shows that it took picture (about 30 seconds). I know it is little bit longer than regular taking pictures, but it's the only way (that I know). Nail polish will glow brightly in the beginning and than it will start losing his glow. If you get tired, turn on the lamp again and recharge your nails before you continue taking pictures. 

Nadam se da vam je ovo bilo korisno. Ako imate jos neka pitanja, stojim na raspolaganju :).

I hope you will find this useful. If you have any more questions, I would be really happy to answer you :).

The Halloween Challenge! - Black Cats

Zadatak broj dva za izazov za noc vestica sam mislila da mi nece tesko pasti. Crne macke su u pitanju, pa sta je tu tesko? I tako sam ja krenula da crtam pet razlicitih crnih macaka. Kada je vec bilo skoro pri kraju, pogledala sam ih onako sve od jednom, i pocela da se smejem ko luda. Bile su ocajne, sve osim jedne. Ostale sam premazala tamnim lakom, pa se ni ne vide vise. Nazovimo ovo "jedna macka na mesecu, a ostale u mracnoj sobi" :D.

Crni lak je Essence - Hunt Me if You Can, a beli je Farmasi #02.

I thought that theme number two for Halloween Challenge won't be hard to do. It's black cats, so what's hard? And then I started painting five different black cats. When they were almost finished, I looked at all of them, and started laughing like some crazy person. They were horrible, except maybe one. So I applied dark polish over rest of them, so you can't see them anymore. Let's call this "One cat on the moon, and others in dark room" :D.

Black nail polish is Essence - Hunt Me if You Can, and white one is Farmasi #02.

Ako ste prestale da se smejete :D, pogledajte sta su ostale devojke uradile na ovu temu : 

If you stopped laughing :D, check out what other girls did today :
