New in #1 - some new polishes :)

Hello hello!

I have some new nail polishes to show you and you'll see their swatches in the future.

So, here are my new sweets :)


Opi - Can You Tapas This? - this is my very first Opi nail polish. I bought it in Kompas shop on the ex Slovenian and Italy border and I paid 6,50 euros for it (it was 50% off - the full price was 13 €). For the first Opi polish I chose this classic color :).

Sinful Colors - 1106 Cinderella and 395 Folly - again my first polishes from this brand. I bought it in Upim store in Trieste (Italy) and the price was 2,90 €/piece (full price was 3,70 €).

Essence Season of Extremes collection - 03 Pimp My Bright - this polish was on discount (50% off) and it was about a dollar. This collection is an old one (from spring 2012, I think). I bought it in DM store in Rijeka (Croatia).

Catrice Revoltaire collection - C01 Innocent Toxin - this limited edition is an old one too. It was actual in the fall I think. This sick :))) polish I bought in my hometown Rijeka (DM store) and I paid about 3,50 dollars for it.

Golden Rose Care+Strong - shade 224 - I have several Golden Rose polishes but this is the first from this line. It is beautiful peachy pink shade with silver glitter. I bought it in Golden Rose store in Rijeka for 2,50 dollars.

Golden Rose Paris - shade 122 - this polish was a present from my dear boyfriend. This shade looks like a warm black if you could imagine that :D. It is very dark blood color and it's very nice! I don't have anything like that. Golden Rose Paris nail polishes are 2,50 dollars.

Eveline - 8 in 1 total action, intensive nail conditioner - I hope this will make may nails don't break and look nicer :). The price is about 3,50 dollars.

Have you tried some of these products?

Thank you for stopping by!

[eng/cro] DIY Textured nail polish effect - Reljefni nokti u par poteza


Hello hello!

Textured nail polishes are very popular these days, and I don't have any! :D So, a few days ago I was thinking about that and I realized that I could probably make something similar myself. I did it and I'm pretty happy with the result.


I'm pretty sure that this easy way of doing textured effect on your regular nail polish is in use and you might know about it, but I didn't google it.


For this manicure you'll need nail polish (I chose shimmery polish and it was Flormar Supershine 10) and a sponge that is not very dense. 


Paint your nails with two or three coats of nail polish. Leave it to dry half through and then press prepared sponge on the nail. Do not press too hard because you could remove pieces of polish from your nails. That can also happen if the polish is too wet. You can press the sponge several times on each nail to get more texture.

On the picture below you can see how it looks like with two and three coats of polish. I prefer it with three coats because it gets more texture.


What do you think? :) Would you try it?

Thank you for stopping by! :)

[eng/cro] Essence Special Effect Topper shade 12 Holo topping, please! - swatches

Čitajte na hrvatskom OVDJE.

Hello everyone!

Today I'll show you Essence Special Effect Topper in shade 12 Holo topping, please!


It has fine holographic glitter. When it dries it has matte finish so you can wear it like that or with clear top coat. It dries fast and it's a bit hard to remove because of glitter.


The price is a bit under 3 dollars and you get 8 ml of polish, 0.27 fl.oz.

And now I'll show you how it looks like with one, two and three coats on bare nails and also how it looks like with eight other polishes as a base.

Nail polishes used as a base (part 1):

This Essence topper I like with Golden Rose Charming Classics 07, Flormar Supeshine 10, Flormar Supermatte M128 and Golden Rose Rich Color 27 the most. 

Which combination you prefer? :)

[cro/eng] Flormar Super Neon Colors num. N004 - swatches

English version is below

Hello everyone!

Imam jedan lakić kojeg sam dobila na poklon prije pola godine i red je da i njega pokažem. Radi se o Flormar Super Neon Colors u nijansi N004. Koliko je zaista neon ne mogu suditi, ali meni ovako laički nema ni N od neona :D. Radi se o prljavo narančastoj boji, koja mi je sama po sebi dobra. Sviđa mi se, ali lak je zaista čudan, što možete vidjeti na iduće tri fotke gdje sam pokazala kako izgleda s jednim, dva, tri i četiri sloja.

fotografirano na suncu / photographed on the sun

Kao što vidite, proziran je čak i s četiri sloja. Nije da patim od toga da se ništa ne smije vidjeti kroz lak, ali ovo je zaista previše.

fotografirano u hladu / photographed in the shade

Kako sam ovaj lak dobila na poklon, ne mogu vam dati informacije o cijeni i mjestima koji ga prodaju. Neon Flormar liniju nisam nigdje vidjela pa ne želim nagađati. Nije da je nije bilo na tim mjestima, nego ne pamtim da sam to vidjela jer sam uglavnom samo gledala supermatte ili supershine lakove.

Količina laka kojeg dobijete je 11 ml.

Ovaj lak nisam nikad nosila samog jer je nenosiv, ali se može kombinirati s drugim lakovima. Na idućim slikama možete vidjeti kako izgleda premazan preko nekih drugih lakova:

Golden Rose Charming Classics 58
Catrice  820 Pimp My Shrimp
Rapsodi Pacific 02
Gabrini Elegant 330
Flormar Supershine 25

Navedenim redoslijedom su i slike postavljene.


Kao što vidite, da se lijepo iskoristiti. Znam da je ovaj problem samo do ove nijanse (možda nije jedina s problemom), jer sam vidjela na internetu swatcheve nekih lakova iz ove linije koje su bile normalne gustoće.

Ovaj lak mi je jedan od onih wtf, tj. da sam njega prvog isprobala od Flormara, ne znam bi li kupovala više njihove lakove. Sva sreća što nisam :).

Lijepo vas pozdravljam!

°°°°

Hello everyone!

I have one nail polish for some time and I figured it is time to show it. It is Flormar Super Neon Colors nail enamel in shade N004. It is dirty orange color and I don't think it is neon at all.
This is the only polish from this line that I own and it's quite weird one. I'm sure you can understand why if you look at swatching pictures on which you can see how it looks like with one, two, three and four coats.

I didn't wear this polish because it is very sheer.. I wore it with some other polishes. You can see how it looks like with other polishes on pictures below swatching pictures. Shown polishes are:

Golden Rose Charming Classics 58
Catrice  820 Pimp My Shrimp
Rapsodi Pacific 02
Gabrini Elegant 330
Flormar Supershine 25

The amount of polish you get is 11 ml, 0.37 fl.oz.

Thank you for stopping by!

[cro] Golden Rose Charming Classics Nail Lacquer num.58 - swatches

In Croatian only!

Pozdrav svima!

U ovom postu pokazat ću vam swatcheve Golden Rose Charming Classics laka za nokte u nijansi 58. Recenziju sada neću pisati jer mislim da bi za to bilo bolje koristiti ga neko vrijeme.

Nijansa 58 u bočici izgleda prigušeno ružičasto, kao kričavo ružičasta s malo crne u sebi. Dvojila sam između ove nijasne i prave hladne kričavo roze i sad mi je drago što sam uzela ovu jer boja izgleda ljepše na noktima nego u bočici, pogotovo na suncu. Tad poludi :). Na suncu izgleda jarko, ali toplo, ljetno i to mi se baš sviđa.

A sad malo slika :)

slikano na suncu

Na iduće dvije slike možete vidjeti kako izgleda s jednim, dva i tri sloja.

 slikano na dnevnom svjetlu (druga s blicem)

Vrijeme me mučilo taj dan. Sredila sam nokte pa je sunce počelo bježati i nestalo posve iza oblaka, pa nisam ulovila lak na suncu, ali odradila sam to drugi put pa ipak imam fotku :) A sad slijede fotke laka s tri sloja na noktima.

slikano na dnevnom svjetlu; 3 sloja

slikano na umjetnom svjetlu s blicem; tri sloja

slikano na suncu

Na zadnjoj slici možete vidjeti samo jedan prst, a to je zato što sam to slikala par dana nakon gornjih slika. Nokte sam namazala drugim bojama jer sam radila na slikama za drugi post (što ćete vidjeti uskoro :D). Malo me bode u oči što mi ta fotka odskače od ostalih, ali što je tu je.

Prvi dojam o laku je da se nanosi relativno dobro. Sušenje traje duže nego kod Golden Rose Paris laka kojeg imam.

Cijena laka je 9 kuna, a može se naći u Golden Rose dućanima (u Rijeci imate u prizemlju Robne kuće Ri).
Količina laka koju dobijete je 7,5 ml.
Proizvedeno u Turskoj.
 
Sve u svemu, za 9 kn mislim da se ne može pogriješiti s ovim lakićima :)
