[cro] Dvije manikure

In Croatian only!

Hello hello,

sudjelovala sam u dva natječaja za koje je trebalo napraviti manikuru pa ću sada pokazati što sam napravila. Treba to dokumentirati, jelte. Nažalost, oba su završila pa neću ni stavljati linkove na njih, ali ću u nastavku staviti linkove na blogove na kojima su bili, pa ćirnite :)

1. za Nail Crazy

Krivo sam vam rekla... Darivanje traje još par dana pa stignete ako niste, link.

Tema natječaja je bila slobodna. Mogli smo napraviti nail art ili samo jednostavno namazati nokte. Izbor je bio na nama, a ja sam se odlučila poigrati. Natječaj nije u pravom smislu jer pobjednika bira random.org.

Napravila sam ovu žuto-crnu manikuru jer sam željela iskoristiti žuti lak kojeg sam pokazala u prošlom postu s novitetima. Koristila sam bijeli lak kao podlogu (Rapsodi Pacific 02) jer je žuti dosta rijedak, a zatim dva sloja žutog laka (Essence Season of Extremes - 03 Pimp My Bright). Ukrasila sam crnim lakom (Collistar 36 Nero) pomoću kistića i drške kista (točke). Prstenjak je namazan samo crnim lakom (dva sloja Collistar 36 Nero), a onda sam ga malo 'ispužvala' da postane reljefan. Žute nokte sam premazala i top coatom.

2. za Nic

Tema je bila baš super: video igre ili tv serije (igrana ili animirana). Bile su tri kategorije: za nokte, za lice i bez uratka. Zadnje bira random, a prva dva Nic. Mogli smo pristupiti u dvije kategorije, jedna s uratkom, a druga random. Pristupila sam samo s manikurom jer sam zakasnila na onu random :D. Rok za slanje je bio danas u podne, a random je završila još sinoć.

Odabrala sam videoigru i to jednu koja mi je jedna od najdražih i igrala sam ju zbilja puno. Radi se o Heroes of Might and Magic III igri, za koju se već gotovo može reći da je retro :D, ali ja mislim da je bezvremenska. Izgleda prilično zastarjelo, ali meni je to bolje nego ove neke današnje fensi Barem ju moj komp vrti bez problema :D

Pošto u toj igri imate nekoliko gradova s kojima igrate, odabrala sam kao inspiraciju jedan grad - Fortress. To je močvarno-magični grad, a proizvodi bića kao što su bazilisci, gorgone, serpenti, hidre...Pa sam pokušala dobiti sve to u manikuri bez pretjeranog kompliciranja. Možda izgleda jednostavno, ali mogu reći da izvedba i nije tekla tako glatko (npr. prvu turu sam morala obrisati jer nije uspjela).

Ovu manikuru sam napravila tako da sam najprije stavila dva sloja tamnozelenog laka (Rapsodi 350) i pustila da se osuši. Zatim jedan sloj šljokičastog ljubičastog laka (Flormar Supershine 14). Dok je bio vlažan, prislonila sam spužvu i odnosila komade ljubičastog laka. Kako je on topio i donju boju, reljef se pokazao i dolje. Mislim da sam time dobila barem mali dašak guštera, hmm. Problem s tim odnošnjem gornjeg sloja jest što treba pogoditi vrijeme kad treba prisloniti spužvu jer ako se previše osuši, neće ga pokupiti, a ako ga onda silujete, odnese i donji sloj. Opet ne smije biti niti previše vlažan...

Mislila sam napraviti manikuru za još jedan natječaj pa objaviti sve skupa, ali danas mi je ta manikura pošla po zlu pa objavljujem bez nje :D, a ona još može pričekati jer ima vremena. Kod Dunje u oblacima traje natječaj za ljetnu manikuru ili make up, a imate vremena do 15.06.

Toliko od mene. Budite dobro!

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] 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.
