Winter With KKCenterHk Stamping Plates

Iako me nije dugo bilo, jer nemam motivaciju da pisem za blog, resila sam da se potrudim i objavim par zimskih noktica. Zima je moje omiljeno doba godine, sto zbog praznicnog raspolozenja i slavlja, sto zbog snega, pa bi bila steta ne obeleziti je i na blogu. Sneg je konacno tu a pokloni su spremni i cekaju Novu godinu kada ih mi otvaramo jer Bozic ne slavimo. Nadam se da vi uzivate u snegu i praznicima, da ste na toplom sa dragim ljudima i da ste dobili po neki lep pokloncic. Zelim vam lep provod, mnogo zdravlja, srece i ljubavi u novoj godini! <3 

Long time, no see. I'm not motivated to write for my blog, but I decided to make and publish a few winter nail designs. Winter is my favourite time of the year because of snow and holiday spirit, so It would be a shame not to post something. Snow IS finally here, gifts are ready and waiting New Year's eve to be opened, just because we don't celebrate Christmas. I hope you're enjoying this weather and Holidays, that you are warm with your loved ones and that you got some nice gifts. I wish you a good time, much joy, health, happiness and love in the coming year! <3

Imam dve KKCenterHk plocice za pecatiranje a jednu sam vec testirala u ovom postu. Na njihovom sajtu mozete ih naci OVDE i OVDE. Obe plocice su jako dobro izrezbarene tako da se slicice lepo prenose s tim sto ce razultat zavisiti i od kvaliteta laka koji koristite. Ja sam pronasla jedan Essence koji je super za ovu tehniku! Obe plocice kostaju po 3$. Ukoliko vam se nesto dopadne sa sajta mozete iskoristiti kupon kod AnyRainbow od 10% na vasu kupovinu.

I have two KKCenterHk stamping plates and one I've already reviewed here. On their site you can find these plates HERE and HERE. Both plates are deep enough to transfer the pictures very well. Of course the result will also depend on the polishes you use. I found one old Essence polish in my collection that works awesome for this technique! Plates cost 3$ each. If you like something from their site you can use 10% off coupon code AnyRainbow.

Koristila sam pecat i odstranjivac viska laka, srebrne sljokice, Don Juan One Coat OC229 kao podlogu, Essence Marble Mania 03 Silver Twister koji nazalost ne moze vise da se nadje, za pecatiranje i Essence Special Effect Topper 07 Soft Touch nadlak za mat efekat. 

I used stamper and scraper, silver glitter, Don Juan One Coat OC229 as a background color, Essence Marble Mania 03 Silver Twister that isn't available anymore, for stamping, and Essence Special Effect Topper 07 Soft Touch top coat for matte effect.

Evo i kako je ispalo. Nadlak je naravno morao da zamrlja dizajn, ali ajd sad, oprosticemo mu ovaj put. :P :D 

And here It is. Top coat, of course, had to smudge the design, but we will forgive it this time. :P :D

NYX Dream Catcher Palette - Dusk Til Dawn

Pre par meseci bio mi je rodjendan pa sam odlucila da se pocastim. Trebala mi je jedna neutralna paleta senki, koju bih mogla da koristim kako za posebne prilike tako i za sminku za "svaki dan". S obzirom da se u parfimerijama i drogerijama u mojoj blizini palete bas i ne mogu naci, izbor je pao na prodavnicu Lady Corner (ciji su radnici jako ljubazni i profesionalni i zasluzuju pohvale! :)) koja drzi Alexandar kao i NYX kozmetiku, gde sam svoju paleticu i pronasla.

Few months ago It was my birthday so I decided to buy me some make up! I needed a neutral eye shadow palette for every day and special occasions too. So since in drugstores near me I couldn't find any palettes, I went to store that holds NYX cosmetics and found this one! 

Ovo je jedna od tri Dream Catcher palete, najvise mi se dopala i mislila sam da ce mi najvise odgovarati. Na pozadini palete nalazi se dosta informacija koje bi vas mogle zanimati kao sto su sastav, gramaza, zemlja proizvodnje, rok trajanja itd. Paleta se odlicno zatvara a pakovanje je napravljeno od cvrste plastike. Poklopac je poluprovidan tako da mozete videti koje nijanse se nalaze u paleti. Deo gde se paleta otvara je prelepljen nalepnicom tako da mozete biti sigurni da je niko pre vas nije otvarao. Ukoliko deo sa senkama pomerite u desno otkricete ogledalo i dvostrani sundjerasti aplikator.

This is one out of three Dream Catcher palettes, I liked this one the most. I hoped I would get a lot of use out of it. On the back you can find all the information you might want to know like ingredients, exp. date or state that it's made in. It closes very good and package is made of sturdy plastic. The opening part of the palette has a sticker on it, so you can be sure that no one opened it before. Top is half transparent so you are always able to see which shades this palette has. If you slide the eye shadows on the right you will discover a mirror and two sided sponge applicator. 

 Paleta sadrzi deset senki i svaka ima 1,6 g a gledajuci ih rekla bih da je to okej kolicina. Poslednje senke oba reda imaju jako sitne sljokice koje su jedva primetne, pa ipak izgledaju mat na kapcima. Ostale senke su sedefaste, imaju sitan shimmer i vece ili manje sljokice razlicitih boja. Vecina je solidno pigmentovana i ima prosecnu trajnost na kapcima ukoliko se nanose preko baze koja moze biti puder, korektor, olovka za oci ili namenska baza za senke. Bilo sta sto ce senkama omoguciti da se bolje "zalepe" za kapak. Iako se pigmentacija od senke do senke razlikuje, sve uz bazu izgledaju lepse.

Palette contains ten eye shadows and each has 1.6 g of product. By looking at them I would say It's an okay quantity. The last shadows in both rows have a slight, barely noticeable shimmer, so they do have a matte finish on the lids. The rest do have shimmer and bigger or smaller glitter in different colors. Most of the shadows are fairly pigmented and have average lasting on the eyes with a sticky base underneath such as foundation, concealer, eye pencil or eye shadow base. 

Senke su malo ispupcene, suvlje teksture i isprva tvrdje. Mana ovih senki je to sto pocinju da se mrve i rasipaju nakon nekog vremena i koriscenja, tako da cetkica uvek pokupi vise proizvoda koji se rasipa svuda, sto je gubitak. Pored tih nedostataka, paleta ima odlicne mat nijanse od kojih se ova svetlo braon-siva moze koristiti i za obrve a mat crna je obavezna u svakoj kolekciji sminke. Jos dve moje omiljene senke su svetla, sedefasta boja vanile koja je odlicna za posvetljivanje, kao i rozikasto bronzana senka ispod nje! 

Eye shadows are domed, a bit hard in the beginning and have a dry texture. Bad side of these shadows is that they start to get kinda chalky and fly everywhere when you take them with a brush, It's just a waste of product. Beside that, this palette has a great matte shades, like this taupe one can be used for the brows and the black is just a must have in every make up collection. Two of my favourite shadows have to be a light vanilla which is great for highlighting and the rose gold one underneath!  

Svi svocevi tj uzorci radjeni su na dnevnom svetlu, bez ikakve baze. Predjeni su prstom samo jednom kako biste videli pravu pigmentaciju i mrvljenje pri uzorkovanju. 

All swatches are done in  natural lighting without any base, so you would be able to see a true pigmentation and chalkiness. 

A zatim sam ih nanela i u debljem sloju kako biste videli da je moguce nadograditi ih.

And then I applied them a bit thicker so you can see that you can make them more pigmented with layering.

 Prvi red. First row.

Drugi red. Second row.

Cena ove palete je oko 1489 dinara i mozete je poruciti online preko NYX Facebook stranice, preko Alexandar Cosmetics sajta ili je kupiti u nekom Alexandar maloprodajnom objektu kojih ima sirom Srbije. Za tu cenu kvalitet je okej, ne moze se vise ni ocekivati. Ja sam zadovoljna i koristim je non stop. Vise mi se dopada za neku jacu sminku ali je super i za svaki dan uz dodatak nekih neznijih senki. Da li ste vi probale neku Dream Catcher ili NYX paletu i kako ste zadovoljni? :) Do sledeceg posta... <3

This palettes costs around 15$ and for that money quality is fine. I'm very happy with it, I use it very often. I like it more for a dramatic make up looks but It's good for every day too if you add some lighter neutral shadows. Tell me if you have this palette and are you satisfied with it. :) Until next post... <3

Navy Blue And Gold Elegance Nail Design

Uskoro prisustvujem jednom vencanju, pa kako uvek pre nekog vaznog dogadjaja isprobam sminku par puta, tako isprobam i nokte. Posto vec radim nokte odlucila sam da ih uslikam za blog i usput cujem vase misljenje. Posto mi je haljina teget i zlatna, slicni ce biti nokti i sminka. :]

Soon I will attend a wedding. Every time I have an important event, few days before, I try out a few make up looks and nail designs, so I don't have to rush and worry that day. Since I was doing my nails I decided to take some pictures and share them with you and see what do you think. Because my dress is navy blue and gold, my nails and make up will be similar. :]

Jedini teget lak koji imam u svojoj kolekciji je Avon SpeedDry+ u nijansi Twilight Blue. Ovaj lak nikada ne koristim iz razloga sto je jako los. Uzela sam ga jos kad je SpeedDry+ kolekcija tek izasla, ne znam da li su menjali formulu, ali ovaj lak je veliko razocarenje. Potrebna su dva sloja da bi lepo prekrio nokat, susi se brze nego preosecan lak i to je ok. Ali se tako brzo guli sa noktiju da nema poente mazati ga, cak i sa nadlakom!

The only navy blue nail polish I have in my collection is Avon SpeedDry+ in Twilight Blue. I never use this nail polish because It's very bad quality. I bought It when SpeedDry+ collection first came out so I don't know did they changed the formula, but this one is a big disappointment. Two coats are needed for opacity, It dries faster than regular nail polish and that's fine. But.. It chips sooo fast, that there's no point in using it, even with a top coat!

Na slikama kao i uzivo, boja je skroz crna. U bocici se pod oderedjenim uglom i osvetljenjem moze videti teget metalik odsjaj, medjutim na noktima i prirodnom svetlu lak je crn bez ikakvih sljokica i jedva primetnog sjaja, sto nije za pohvalu. Vrlo razocarana ovim lakom, za originalan manikir ipak cu koristiti bilo koji crni lak koji ce potrajati duze.

In pictures and live, color is totally not navy blue, It's black. In bottle, under certain lighting and angle you can notice a blue metallic shine, but in person under normal, natural lighting, this polish is just boringly black, without any shimmer or even shine. I'm very disappointed with this nail polish so for original manicure I will use any black nail polish that will last longer.

Sto se samog dizajna tice, zelela sam nesto jednostavno, lepo i elegantno. Tamna pozadina sa zlatnim sljokicama. Sljokice sam nanela sundjerom, blago tapkajuci po noktu. Na slikama se dva nokta isticu, jer su cela zlatna, ali sam odlucila da mi se ipak vise svidja kada su svi nokti isti, tako da cu to izbaciti. Od lakova sam koristila gore pomenuti teget, Don Juan Excessive EX16 i Golden Rose Gel Look Top Coat. Ukoliko vam se svidja moja ideja ili imate svoju za koju mislite da je lepsa, ostavite mi komentar! ^_^ <3

For the design I wanted something simple, pretty and elegant. Dark background with gold glitter. I applied glitter with a sponge, pressing lightly. In pictures are two gold nails, but I decided to have my nails all the same for the day, without those two gold ones, because I like it that way better. As for the nail polishes I used the navy blue one mentioned before, Don Juan Excessive EX16 and Golden Rose Gel Look Top Coat. If you like my idea or you have your own, that you think It would be prettier, please leave me a comment! ^_^ <3

Golden Rose Gel Look Top Coat

Danas vam pisem o jednom pristupacnom nadlaku. Nadlak je lak kojim se manikir zavrsava. Providni lak koji dolazi posle laka u boji ili vaseg nail art-a, koji bi trebalo da izravna neravnine, da produzi trajnost vaseg manikira i da sjaj ili mat efekat.

Today I'm writing about affordable top coat. Top coat is a nail polish that you finish your manicure with. Clear nail polish that goes on your regular colored nail polish or nail art. It should smooth out the nail surface, prolong nail polish lasting and give a shine or matte effect. 

Golden Rose nadlak obecava sjaj i izgled gela na noktima. Za sjaj bih se slozila, daje visok sjaj prvi, drugi dan, medjutim kako dani prolaze sjaj polako bledi. Sto se tice da ce vam manikir izgledati kao gel, paa.. moze to i mnogo bolje. Definitivno produzava trajanje laka na noktima, mada to zavisi i od baze koju koristite. Lepo poravna sve neravnine. Susi se onako, osrednje brzo. Medjutim, primetila sam nesto sto s ni jednim lakom do sad nisam videla, a to je da ponekad lak popuca na noktu posle nekog vremena a nekad hoce i da otpadne u delovima. Nazalost nisam uspela da shvatim zasto se to desava. 

Golden Rose top coat promises superior gloss and gel-like look. I can agree on the shine, It's ok for a day or two and then It starts to fade. And about the gel look, umm I don't think so. It definitely prolongs nail polish lasting, but that also depends on the base coat you are using. It smooths the nail surface very well and the drying is average. However, I have noticed something that I've never seen with other nail polishes. Sometimes, after a few days It cracks on your nails and can even chip in pieces. It's weird and I can't figure out how or why It happens.

Lak se lepo maze, ima veliku i siroku cetkicu. Ukoliko nema dovoljno laka na cetkici hoce da napravi linije, mada se to ne primecuje kada se lak potpuno osusi.

It applies very nicely, It has big and wide brush. If there isn't enough nail polish on the brush It can leave some lines but they disappear when polish is dry. 

Ako odlepite nalepnicu na pozadini laka pronacicete listu sastojaka. Ukoliko nekog zanima sastav je sledeci: Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Acrylates Copolymer, Nitrocelluse, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Sucrose Benzoate, Isopropyl Alchocol, Etocrylene, Trimethylpentanediyl Dibenzoate, Cl 60725.

If you peel off the sticker behind you can see the ingredients: Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Acrylates Copolymer, Nitrocelluse, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Sucrose Benzoate, Isopropyl Alchocol, Etocrylene, Trimethylpentanediyl Dibenzoate, Cl 60725.

Za cenu od 170? dinara dobijate 10.5 ml proizvoda. Rekla bih da je za taj novac sasvim solidan nadlak. Ako zelite da produzite trajanje vaseg manikira za par dana i dobijete sjaj, preporucila bih ovaj nadlak. 

For a price of 170 RSD you get 10.5 ml of product. I would say that It's a good top coat for that money. If you want to prolong nail polish lasting and get a shiny manicure, I would recommend this top coat.

Da li ste ga isprobale i kako vam se cini? :]

Have you tried it, how It works for you? :]

                       

Colorful Neon Born Pretty Store Nail Studs

Danas pisem o malim, sarenim nitnama koje sam dobila sa Born Pretty Store sajta. Ove neon nitne dolaze u obliku zvezdica i krugova. Boja je vrlo intenzivna i ovako na okupu deluju jako veselo i slatko. U pakovanju se otprilike nalazi 300 delova, od kojih je svaki
2-3mm, u sest razlicitih boja. Trenutno na sajtu kostaju 5.69$.

Today I'm writing about these small, colorful studs I got from Born Pretty Store. These neon studs come in round and star shape. Color is very vibrant and in package they look very cute and cheerful. You get about 300 pieces, in six different colors and every stud is about 2-3 mm big, or should I say small, because they fit very nicely on the nails. Right now one pack costs 5.69$ on the site. 

Nitne se nanose na jos uvek sveze nanesen lak, kako bi se zalepile. Nakon sto se lak malo prosusi, svoj manikir sa nitnama nalakirajte debljim slojem nadlaka ili nekim drugim providnim lakom, kako bi vam trajao danima. Ove nitne takodje mozete koristiti i za ukrasavanje bilo koje druge povrsine.

Studs are applied on wet nail polish, so they could stick to it. After nail polish has dried a bit, apply a thick coat of top coat or any other clear polish to secure your studs, so your manicure could last for days. These studs may also be used on other surfaces. 

Mogu se iskoristiti na toliko nacina, sto na noktima, sto za ukrasavanje drugih stvari, da sam jedva smislila kako da vam ih prikazem na najsladji nacin. Lakovi koje sam koristila su Don Juan One Coat OC229 i Golden Rose Gel Look Top Coat. Nadam se da vam se svidja! :]

You can use them on so many ways and not just on the nails, so It was a difficult decision how to present them to you in a cutest way. Nail polishes I used are Don Juan One Coat OC229 and Golden Rose Gel Look Top Coat. I hope you like it! :]

Poslednje tri fotografije uslikane su napolju i izgledaju mnogo bolje, ali postaje sve hladnije, tako da ne znam hocu li nastaviti da slikam napolju. Recite mi koje vam se slike vise dopadaju. 

Ukoliko vam se pak dopadaju nitne mozete ih poruciti sa Born Pretty Store sajta, bez da placate postarinu jer je besplatna gde god da se nalazite u svetu. Mozete iskoristiti kupon kod FGB10 za 10% popusta! Pratite me, jer cete uskoro imati sansu i da ih osvojite! :] Do sledeceg citanja... <3

Last three photos are taken outside and I think you can tell that they are better quality. But It's getting colder so I don't think I will always be able to take pictures outside. Tell me which ones you like better. If you like these studs you can order them from the Born Pretty Store site and they will be delivered to you for free, wherever you are! You can also use 10% off coupon code FGB10!

Follow me for a chance to win one pack of studs for free! :] Until next post... <3
