Dead Pandas Born Pretty Store Water Decals

Why is panda sad? Because panda is dead. :[ Haha, malo morbidno, ali da... Upravo to su ove vodene nalepnice za nokte koje se fino slazu uz mene, rekla bih. :D Lobanje pandi koje jedu bambus. :3 Kako slatko. Enivej, ovo je jos jedna stvarcica koju sam dobila od Born Pretty Store na recenziju. Da ne bude skroz morbidno, napomenucu da ih nisam ja birala. :D

Why is panda sad? Because panda is dead. :[ Haha, a bit morbid but, yeah.. That's exactly what these water decals are and I'd say they suit me very well. :D Panda skulls eat bamboo, how cute. :3 Anyway, this is one more nail thingy I got from Born Pretty Store for review. Just so It's not completely morbid,  I did not pick this one. :D 




Ove vodene nalepnice mozete pogledati OVDE, a ostale stvarcice za nokte koje nudi BPS OVDE. Jedan listic sa 18 slicica kosta 2.86$ USD. Ovo su slicice koje se nanose pomocu vode. Kako se to tacno radi objasnila sam u OVOM postu. Na poledjini je ukratko objasnjeno kako se koriste, doduse malo konfuzno. Mislim da nema potrebe da voda bude topla, cak ni zimi, kao i da nema potrebe susiti nokte fenom nakon nanosenja slicice. 

These water decals you can find HERE and more nail art stuff BPS offers HERE. One sheet comes with 18 pictures and It costs 2.86$ USD. Water decals are nail art decorations which are used with water. In THIS post I explained how to apply It. On the back you get a short instructions on how to use them, although It's a bit confusing. I don't think you have to use warm water, even in winter, or to blow dry your nails after applying water decals. 


Nalepnicama sam zadovoljna, skroz su okej. U poredjenju s onim koje sam vec korisitila ne vidim nikakvu razliku, sve su mi se odlicno pokazale. Mada ovakav tip proizvoda verovatno nikako ne moze biti los i nekvalitetan.

I'm pleased with this water decals, they work very well. In comparison with the other water decals I used, they are all the same to me, they work just fine. I can't even think of a way this product wouldn't work. 


Sada idemo na zanimljiviji deo, moj manikir. :D Po mojoj logici, posto ove lobanje grickaju bambus, to je nekad morala biti panda, pa je shodno tome i manikir s pandama. Imam cak 2 manikira, jer mi se prvi nije dopao, a na kraju ni drugi nije uspeo jer mi je nadlak razmazao pande, ali evo kako su ispala oba. Lakovi koje sam koristila su Essie Mint Candy Apple koji sam skroz pojela :D, Essence Nail Art Special Effect Topper 07 Soft Touch mat nadlak, Golden Rose With Protein 242 i Don Juan One Coat OC229.

And now we're jumping on to the more fun part, my manicure. :D My logic says, since these skulls are eating some bamboo, they must have been pandas long time ago. So, this is panda manicure. I have two creations, because I didn't like the first one, and in the end the second also because top coat smudged my design. But here are both. Nail polishes that I used are Essie Mint Candy Apple, Essence Nail Art Special Effect Topper 07 Soft Touch matte top coat, Golden Rose With Protein 242 and Don Juan One Coat OC229.


Prvi dizajn...

Mint and Turquoise Nail Design

Napokon, novi post od mene! 

Nedostajao mi je blog, mackanje noktiju, vasi komentari... Ali proteklih meseci ili nisam imala internet ili vremena ili mi nokti nisu bili dovoljno lepi i dugi za blog. Nadam se da ce se to promeniti, da ce sve biti okej i da cemo se vise druziti. :]

U ovom postu cu vam pokazati manikir sa moje dve omiljene boje, mint i tirkiznom, sa proizvodima koje sam dobila od KKCenterHK

Naravno, koristila sam Essie Mint Candy Apple kao podlogu.

Finally, a new post from me!

I missed my blog, nail art, your comments... But last few months I didn't have internet connection or free time or my nails weren't just pretty or long enough for blog. I hope that will change, that everything will be okay and that we'll hang out more. :]

In this post I will show you manicure with my two favourite colours, mint and turquoise, with products I got from KKCenterKG

Of course, I used Essie Mint Candy Apple as a base. 




Posle baze iskoristila sam ovu tanku traku da bih napravila linije. Na sajtu je oznacena kao Laser Gold Striping Tape Line Nail Decoration Sticker. Tanka je 0,6 mm i duga oko 180cm. Naravno samolepljiva je. Dobro se lepi ali sam primetila da mi se malo lepka s nje prenelo na nokte, zato mozda ne bi bilo lose da se vise koristi za manikire sa kojih se nece odlepljivati. Svakako, solidna tracica koju sam dugo prizeljkivala. Njena cena je 0.90 americkih dolara. 

After the base I used this thin tape to make lines. On the site it's called Laser Gold Striping Tape Line Nail Decoration Sticker. It's only 0.6 mm thin and long about 180 cm. Of course It's masking. It's sticks very good for the nail but I noticed that a little bit of the glue transferred to my nails, so It might be better to use this tape for manicures which don't require taking the tape off. Anyway, it's a good tape that I wanted for so long. It costs 0.90 USD.





Sledeca stvar koju sam koristila su ove predivne tirkizne sljokice velicine svega 0,2 mm. Na sajtu su oznacene kao Laser Glitter. Dolaze u plasticnoj teglici od 10g kao i svi njihove sljokice, a to je zaista solidna kolicina. Ako ih ne koristite profesionalno, necete ih potrositi godinama. Kostaju 8.41 americkih dolara.

The next thing I used for this manicure is this beautiful turquoise glitter. It's only 0.2 mm big. On the site It's named Laser Glitter. It comes in plastic container just like all of their glitter. It weights 10g which is really a lot If you won't use It professionally, It can last you for years. Glitter costs 8.41 USD.








Nalakirala sam jedan sloj Essie Mint Candy Apple laka, sacekala da se osusi, nalepila tracice, namazala sloj providnog laka i posula sljokice. Zatim uklonila tracice, ocistila nokte... A evo i kako je sve to ispalo! 

I applied one coat of Essie Mint Candy Apple and waited until it dried, applied tape, then a coat of clear polish sprinkled glitter on it, cleaned my nails... And this is how It looks!








Nadam se da vam se svideo post i manikir. Cim nadjem vremena usledice neke promene na blogu. Pozadina, nova slika, smajlici i mozda jos ponesto. Ljubim vas do sledeceg posta! :* <3

I hope you like this post and manicure. As soon as I have some free time I will change my blog a bit. New cover photo, background, smileys and maybe few more things. Until next post.. :* <3

Blue Or Green? Water Marble

Danas sam odlucila da upotrebim moje tri omiljene boje tirkiznu, mint i zelenu tj tri omiljena laka Rimmel 60 Seconds 825 Sky High, Essie Mint Candy Apple i Rimmel 60 Seconds 835 Bright Back At You i napravim water marble. Moje vezbanje ove tehnike se isplatilo, jer sam radeci nokte danas napravila najmanje nereda nego sto sam ikad ranije i skoro da nisam imala nikakvih problema. Imam par mehurica na srednjem prstu, ali to je zato sto sam zurila i nisam bila bas strpljiva. :]

Today I decided to use three of my favourite colours turquoise, mint and green or my three favourite polishes Rimmel 60 Seconds 825 Sky High, Essie Mint Candy Apple and Rimmel 60 Seconds 835 Bright Back At You and make water marble. Because I practiced this technique a lot today I've done It very fast and almost perfect, without a lot of mess. I just have a few bubbles on my middle finger but It's because I was in a hurry. :]



I dodala sam malo Aura Inches 321 Techno laka cisto zbog sljokica.

And I added a little bit of Aura Inches 321 Techno nail polish because of the shimmer.

Pastel Dots Nail Design

Hellou my lovelies! ^^ <3

Kako prezivljavate ove vrucine? :D Ja ne izlazim iz moje jazbine uopste. :3

Da li ste primetili da me ima cesce nego inace? ^^ E pa, skola se zavrsava, raspust pocinje u subotu, nema vise ucenja. A ja ne idem na popravni iz matematike yaaaaay!! ^____^

Danas mi je bilo malo bolje, temperatura je spala, pa sam odlucila da konacno namazem Essie Mint Candy Apple. Znam da ste sigurno videli ovaj lak 100x, ali on je meni prelep i moram da vam ga pokazem. :]] Posto nemam dobar fotoaparat boja nije najrealnija pa sam ga uslikala pod razlicitim 'opcijama'. Prava boja je negde izmedju ove dve na slikama. :D

Na slikama su 2 sloja plus Essence Studio Nails, Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer. Jedan deblji sloj bi bio sasvim dovoljan. Susi se prilicno brzo i ima oooogromnu cetkicu. :D

How do you survive this crazy hot weather? :D I'm not leaving my room at all! :3

Have you noticed that I write more than usually? ^^ Well, school is ending, holiday starts at Saturday, no more studying. And I don't have to study math whole summer! ^____^ Yaaaaay. :3

Today I was a little bit better so I decided to finally show you Essie Mint Candy Apple. I know you have probably seen this polish 100 times but I really like It and I wanted to show it to you. :]] Color is not much realistic so I took pictures with two different options on my camera. The real color is something in between those two. :]

In pictures I have two coats plus Essence Studio Nails, Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer. One thicker coat would be enough. It dries pretty fast and It has a huuuge brush! :D










Posto sam bila raspolozena dodala sam pastelne tackice ovom divnom lakicu i ucinila moje nokte jos sladjim i zanimljivijim! ^^ Ne znam zasto ali me ovaj dizajn podseca na bebe. :D Evo kako je ispalo, nadam se da vam se dopada. :3

Because I was in the good mood I added pastel dots to this beautiful polish and made my nails more cuter and interesting! ^^ I have no idea why, but this design reminds me of babies. :D Here's the result, I hope you'll like it! :3






Lakici koje sam koristila za tackice.

Nail polishes that I used for dots.



AVON Pastel Pink, Essence Cute As Hell 01 Naughty But Nice, Essence Colour And Go 42 Dress For A Moment, Color Line 92.

Kisses. :*

Spring Water Marble Tutorial

Pozdrav dragi moji! ^___^ 

Kako ste mi? Uzivate li u vikendu? Ja sam nazalost morala da ustanem rano, da "Ocistim Srbiju" :D. Ali je prevruce i setati napolju a kamoli raditi fizicki posao. :S Nadam se da ste bar vi bili u nekoj rashladjenoj prostoriji uzivajuci. :D
Evo obecanog tutorijala za water marble, jeste da malo kasnim ali znam da me razumete, kraj je skole pa non stop neka ispitivanja. :] Odmah cu reci da nisam zadovoljna kako sam odradila ovaj tutorial, znam da mogu bolje. Problem je u tome, sto je suluda ideja raditi water marble na +30C, pogotovo napolju i pogotvo ako nemate klima uredjaj. Znaci, nemojte ni pokusavati jer necete uspeti, samo cete se iznervirati kao ja. :P Radila sam vise od pet puta, potrosila skoro vise od pola oba laka, skuvala se na suncu... Lak se previse brzo susi, temperatura vode je veca od pozeljne, lakici su na pola bocice pa je bilo tesko izvuci i jednu kap laka.. Ma, sve je protiv mene danas! :'D Tako da, izvinjavam se unapred na losem tutorialu, bice vise teksta nego slika ali nadam se da cete razumeti ono najbitnije. Tutorial je pravljen kao da nikad niste radili water marble tako da ce, nadam se, biti koristan pocetnicima. Mogu da obecam da ovo nece biti poslednji tutorial. :] <3

Hello my lovelies! ^____^

How are you? Do you enjoy the weekend? Unfortunately, I had to get up very early to join the "Let's clean the Serbia" (once a year there's an event when people clean our country, going around the parks and streets collecting the trash.. ). :D Today is soooo hot outside, so It's too much even for a walk, so you can imagine how difficult is to work in the sun. :S I hope that you were in some cool room, enjoining. :D 
Here's the promised tutorial for water marble, I know I'm late and I know that you understand that the end of the school year is very close and that I need to study more. :] I have to say that I'm not satisfied how I've done this tutorial, I know I can do It better. Problem is that is crazy to do a water marble on +30C, especially outside and especially if you don't have air conditioner (or cooler? :D I don't know XD). So, don't even try to do water marble because you will fail and you'll be very angry just like me. :P I've done It more than five times, used more then half of both polishes, cooked on the sun... Nail polish just dry too fast when It's hot like this, temperature of the water is higher then we want it to be, my polishes are half spent so It was very difficult to take out even one drop of the polish. Oh well, everything is against me today! :'D So, I apologize for a bad tutorial, there will be more text then photos but I hope you'll understand and learn something. Tutorial was made like you've never done a water marble before, so I hope, will be good for beginners. I can just promise this won't be the last tutorial. :] <3

Potrebno vam je:

- Destilovana voda. Mozete je naci u skoro svakoj prodavnici. Za mene ona najbolje odradi posao. Treba da bude sobne temperature (oko 20C) zato je ne cuvajte u frizideru ili na suncu.
- Casa manjeg precnika. Cini mi se da su one plasticne za jednokratnu upotrebu najbolje. Mada jos uvek sam u fazi isprobavanja posuda za water marble.
- Par cackalica ili drveni stapic.
- Lakovi, base i top coat.
- Samolepljiva traka.
- Makaze.

What you need:

- Distilled water. For me It works the best. It has to be room temperature (about 20C) so don't keep it in the fridge or in the sun.
- Plastic cup of smaller diameter. I think for now It works the best, but I'm still exploring what's the best for water marble.
- A few toothpicks or orange sticks.
- Nail polishes, base and top coat.
- Some scotch tape.
- Scissors.

1. Namazite base coat i sacekajte par minuta da se osusi. Zatim oblepite prst samolepljivom trakom. Ovo mozete a ne morate uraditi, ali ako ne oblepite prst imacete mnogo vise nereda i mnogo vise posla oko skidanja laka sa koze. :P Tako da je preporucljivo.

1. Apply your favourite base coat and wait few minutes for it to dry. Then apply a scotch tape around your nail. You can skip this step but you'll have a lot to clean and much more mess. 


2. Namazite jedan sloj laka. Praktikujem da namazem onaj koji je manje pigmentovan. Mozete i namazati onaj lak koji zelite da bude vidljiviji ili samo beli lak. Ne morate cekati da se osusi. Ja sam koristila plavi, Essence Colour And Go 53 You Belong To Me jer je slabije pigmentovan od ljubicastog. 

2. Apply one coat of polish. I always apply the polish that is less pigmented. You can also use the polish that you want to be more visible or just a white polish. You don't have to wait for this to dry. I used blue, Essence Colour And Go 53 You Belong To Me because It is less pigmented then purple one.


3. E sad ide komplikovaniji deo. Jednu kap laka kapnete na povrsinu (2 ili 3 kapi ako je lak manje pigmentovan). Zatim drugi. I sve tako u krug dok god lak hoce da se siri po vodi. Za ovaj dizajn (u obliku zvezde ili cveta koji sam ja radila, mada vise lici na neki vrtlog) pozeljno je napraviti sto vise "krugova" u vodi. Moji se nisu sirili jer su se prebrzo susili zbog visoke temperature. Ne odustajte odmah ako vam se lakovi ne sire, morate pronaci one sa kojima mozete raditi WM. 

3. And here comes the complicated part. One drop (two or three drops if the polish has bad pigmentation) of the polish you put on the surface of the water. Then you put the other polish. And so on until it's spreading well. For this design (star or petal shape that I've done, but it looks more like swirl) you want to make as much "circles" as possible in the water. Mine didn't spread well because It was too hot and the polish dried too fast. Don't give up If the polishes don't spread well, you have to find polishes that work for WM.


4. Sada je vreme da napravite saru. Cackalicom povucite od sredine ka krajevima, sa donje i gornje strane. 

4. Now It's time to make a design. Take a toothpick and from the center pull up to the top and down to the bottom. 


5. Sada isto to uradite i sa leve i desne strane. Znaci iz centra cackalicom polako vucete ka jednoj strani a zatim i drugoj. Visak laka sa cackalice mozete obrisati ili jednostavno uzeti drugu cackalicu. Mozete da primetite da mi ovaj deo nije dobro ispao jer se lak vec osusio.

5. Now do the same thing one the left and right. So, slowly pull the polish to the one side and then to another. Remove the excess polish from the toothpick or just take another one. You can see that I failed this part because polish was dried.


6. Sada, uradite isto izmedju vec povucenih delova. Tesko za objasniti ali nadam se da ce vam biti jasnije kada vidite sliku.

6. Now, do the same thing again in between those sides we already "pulled". It's difficult to explain but I hope picture will.


7. Sada pravimo vrtlog i to je ujedno poslednji korak za dizajn. Svaku prazninu izmedju povucenih linija polako povucemo ka centru (od kraja case ka sredini). Trudite se da svaki put, kada dodjete do centra, zavrsite u istoj tacki. Jako tesko objasniti. :D

7. Now we need to make a swirl and that's the last step for the design. Every empty space between the pulled lines we slowly pull to the center (from the edge of the cup to the center). When you pull the polish try to always end in the same dot. 


8. Ravnomerno zaronite prst u vodu. Cackalicom ili jos bolje debljim drvenim stapicem ocistite povrsinu vode od laka. Pogledajte da li su se neki mehurici uhvatili za povrsinu nokta. Ako su blizu kraja, blizu zanoktice, polako ih izvucite na povrsinu vode. Polako izvucite nokat iz vode. 

8. Put your finger in the water. With toothpick or even better with orange stick clean the water surface. Take a look at the nail, If there's some bubbles on the edge, near the cuticles, slowly pull it out. Now slowly pull out the finger.


9. Makazama odsecite traku. Ocistite prst i sacekajte da se lak osusi. Zatim namazite top coat i to je to! :]

9. With the scissors remove the tape. Clean the finger and wait for the nail polish to dry. Apply a top coat and you're done! :] 



Nemojte se razocarati ako vam ne ispadne dobro iz prvog, pa ni iz desetog puta. Ja nokte radim vec 3 godine, ucim, vezbam, pa cak ni ja ne uradim water marble savrseno. :] Treba dosta vezbe, strpljenja, isprobavanje lakova, posuda, vode.. Svega. Samo bez nerviranja i odustajanja! ^^ Nadam se da sam vam bar malo pomogla.  Ljubim vas do sledeceg posta! :* :* :* 

Don't be disappointed if you don't like the result after your first try, not even after several. I'm doing my nails for three years, I learn, I practice, and even I don't do it perfect. :] You need to practice a lot, to be patient, trying polishes, bowls, water.. Everything. Just don't be angry and don't give up! ^^ I hope I helped even a little. Kisses until next post! :* :* :*
