Holographic Glitter

Lep sunčan dan naveo me je da isprobam hologramski glitter lak koji sam dobila iz Izraela. Ime ovog laka je GK 734a. Kada pogledate u bočicu, učini vam se da je prepun glitera koji su hologramski, ali realnost je malo drugačija. Pošto su ove šljokice u providnoj bazi, nalakirala sam dva sloja preko crnog laka za nokte. Ono što me je malo razočaralo je što je većina ovih šljokica srebrno, a mali broj je hologramski. Bilo ga je jako teško uslikati, čak i na sunčevoj svetlosti, ispod lampe, ispod vode... Kada spojite ovih nekoliko slika, nadam se da ćete imati neku predstavu o tome kakav je ustvari ovaj lak. 

Nice sunny day convinced me to try out holographic glitter nail polish that I got from Israel. Name of this polish is GK 734a. When you look into the bottle, you would think that there are ton of holographic glitter in it, but reality is a little bit different. Because these glitters are in clear base, I painted two coats of it over black nail polish. What disappointed me was that most of these glitters are silver, and only few of them are holographic. It was hard to take picture of it, even on a daylight, under the lamp, under the water... When you merge these pictures in your head, I hope you will have an idea about how this polish really looks like. 

Uprkos svemu, sviđa mi se. Naročito jer podseća na neku udaljenu galaksiju punu zvezda. Da li se vama dopada?

Consider it all, I like it. Especially because it looks like some far far away galaxy full of stars. Do you like it?

Inspired by Nina's nails

Pre skoro mesec dana, Nina sa bloga nina's nails je objavila njen manikir sa ovim nalepnicama za nokte. Prvo sam videla samo sliku na njenoj Facebook stranici, i moja prva reakcija je bila "Kako je ovo nacrtala"?  Onda sam posetila njen blog, i shvatila da su u pitanju nalepnice (više o tome, možete pročitati OVDE).

About a month ago, Nina from nina's nails blog published her manicure with this nail stickers. First I saw only a picture on her Facebook page, and first thing that I thought was "How did she draw this"? Then I visited her blog and realized that this cute art are stickers (for more about that, you can read HERE).

Kada sam joj rekla šta sam prvo pomislila, predložila mi je da rekreiram ovaj njen manikir ali sa ručnim crtanjem. Znate li šta je usledilo?

When I told her what I thought at first, she suggested me to recreate this manicure but to do it free handed. Do you know what I said?

U mojoj rekreaciji, linije su malo deblje, ali razumite da nisam štampač i da je ovo verovatno najtanje što sam mogla. Malkice sam izmenila i boje, čisto da vidim kako će to izgledati ako se doda malo više žuto-narandžastih nijansi. 

Koristila sam : Essence - Bad Girl. Catrice - Bye, Bye Birdy!, Essence - Do  A Floating Pirouette, Essence - Sundancer, Catrice - Jade is Not My Name, theBalm - A Case of the Blues, Essence - The One And Only, Essence - Bella i akrilne boje. 

In my recreation, lines were a little bit thicker, but you understand that I'm not a printer and this is probably the thinnest I could do. I also changed colors a little bit, just to see how it will look if you add more yellowish-orange shades. 

I used : Essence - Bad Girl. Catrice - Bye, Bye Birdy!, Essence - Do  A Floating Pirouette, Essence - Sundancer, Catrice - Jade is Not My Name, theBalm - A Case of the Blues, Essence - The One And Only, Essence - Bella and acrylic paints. 

Šta mislite? Da li sam uspela da ispunim zadatak koji mi je Nina postavila?

What do you think? Did I fulfilled challenge that Nina gave me?

Rainbow on Crack

Lakirajući ovaj lak, sve vreme sam se smeškajući razmišljala o nazivu. Sa svakim sledećim nalakiranim noktom, bilo mi je jasno zbog čega i ima taj naziv Glitter Bunny - Rainbow on Crack. Treba li da kažem da sam oduševljena ovom ljubičastom dugom koja mi je na noktima? Potrebno je bilo samo dva sloja laka da se dobije potpuna pokrivenost noktiju. 

While I painted my nails with this polish, I smiled and thought about its name. With every nail I was done painting I understood more and more why the name is Glitter Bunny - Rainbow on Crack. Do I have to tell you how much I love this purple rainbow that is on my nails? It took only two coats for polish to be opaque.

Još jedan lak koji ću sa zadovoljstvom nositi ove godine na plaži. Da li se vama dopada?

One more polish that I will gladly use on the beach this year. Do you like it?

By the Pool

Prva subota u julu i lepo vreme su mi bili odličan izgovor da dan provedem na bazenima. U tom duhu, napravila sam jedan pravi sunčani i vodeni manikir (koji ipak više odgovara moru nego bazenu, ali more će morati da sačeka još dve nedelje :) ). 

Koristila sam : Gabrini N12, Gabrini #379 i akrilne boje.

First Saturday in July and nice weather were great excuse for me to spend they by the pool. In that spirit, I made one truly sunny and watery manicure (which actually fits more to the sea than to the pool, but sea will have to wait for me two more weeks :) ).

I used : Gabrini N12, Gabrini #379 and acrylic paints.  

Kako ste vi provele ovaj sunčani dan?

How did you spend this sunny day?

One of a kind!

Jedan od lakova koje sam dobila iz Izraela je Glitter Bunny - Flip Flop Madness. U pitanju je lak sa puno neonskih plavih, pink i žutih glittera u providnoj bazi. Stigao je kao zamena za lak koji je već neko vreme na mojoj listi želja, Nailventurous - Pinkerbell. 

One of the polishes that I got from Israel is Glitter Bunny - Flip Flop Madness. It is a nail polish with lots of neon blue, pink and yellow glitter in a clear base. It arrived as a dupe for nail polish that is on my wishlist for a while now, Nailventurous - Pinkerbell. 

Ovo je moj prvi indie lak, a ono što ga čini još više posebnim, je to što je unikat. Poseban lak, napravljen samo za mene. Možete pretpostaviti koliko se specijalno osećam :). 

This is my first indie nail polish, and what makes it even more special, is that it is one of a kind. Special nail polish, made just for me. You can assume how special I feel :).

Pošto su ove šljokice u providnoj bazi, nalakirala sam ih preko Essence - Got a Secret. Preko njega, sve ove neonske boje su došle još više do izražaja. 

Since these glitters are in clear base, I polished them over Essence - Got a Secret.. Over it, all those neon colors seems to look even prettier. 

Da li vam se dopada ovaj lak? Još jednom, hvala Yarden i Glitter Bunny na ovom savršenstvu. 

Do you like this nail polish? Again, thank you Yarden and Glitter Bunny for this amazing nail polish.
