Purple Flowers Nail Design - Born Pretty Store Water Decals And Nail Art Brushes

Pre par meseci sam vam na Any Rainbow Facebook stranici pokazala nove stvarcice poslate na recenziju sa Born Pretty Store sajta. Danas vam pisem o setu cetkica za nail art i o "vodenim nalepnicama" za nokte.

A few months ago I showed you on Any Rainbow Facebook page what I got from Born Pretty Store for review. Today I'm writing about nail art brushes and water decals. 

Dizajn nalepnica je jako lep, ljubicasto cvece je u pitanju. Trenutno kostaju 1.59$. Sta su vodene nalepnice i kako se koriste objasnila sam u ovom postu. Medjutim ove su malo drugacije jer se seku, tako da za svaki nokat imate po jednu i nemate prostora za greske. Pre upotrebe ovakvih nalepnica obavezno skinite providnu foliju, isecite ih i dalje radite po uputstvu koje je takodje prikazano na poledjini, s tim da je nepotrebno susiti fenom za kosu. Nanosenje moze biti nezgodno jer je nalepnica velika i jako se lako izguzva na noktu, tako da i na to morate paziti. Ukoliko imate visak nalepnice na noktu, pazljivo je otklonite cetkicom i acetonom. Manikir zavrsite providnim lakom ili nadlakom. 

Design of these water decals is very pretty, It's purple flowers. Currently It costs 1.59$. I explained in this post what are water decals and how to use them. However these are a bit different because you have to cut them and have a sticker for each nail, so there is no space for mistakes. Before you use them you have to remove transparent foil, cut them to fit your nails and then just apply as suggested or you can see instructions on the back, except there is no need to blow dry your nails. Applying can be difficult because sticker is so big that It crumples very easily on the nail, so you have to be careful. If you have excess sticker on your nail just gently remove it with brush and acetone. Finish your manicure with top coat. 

Problem se javlja kada je vasa nokatna ploca veca od nalepnice koja joj je predvidjena. Odgovaraju samo devojkama sa malim nokatnim plocama i kracim noktima. Jednostavno ne izgleda lepo izbliza kada neki deo nokta ostane bez dizajna. Ja sam ih na moje nokte jedva stavila, cak sam morala da uzmem i nalepnice predvidjene za drugu ruku ali sam i dalje imala prazne delove sto cete na slikama i moci da vidite. Tako da obratite paznju na to pri kupovini ovakvih stikera. 

You can have a problem with this water decals when your nail plate is bigger than the sticker made for it. They will fit girls with small nail plates and shorter nails. It just doesn't look nice up close when there are some uncovered nail parts. I could barely fit them on my nails and I even had to take some that are made for my other hand, but I still had some uncovered parts that you will be able to see in the photos. So be aware of that when buying this kind of nail decorations.  

Sto se cetkica tice, dolaze u setu od cetiri. Tri se uglavnom koriste za razne linije a cetvrta se moze koristiti za svasta od nail art-a do uklanjanja laka sa zanoktica. Trenutno kostaju 3.44$. Drske su, cini mi se, drvene i jako lepo i devojacki ukrasene. Vrlo su tanke i duge 17cm. Metalni delovi su zlatne i srebrne boje i imam utisak da su cetkice krhe i slabo zalepljene. Sto se tice dlacica nemam zamerki, super rade posao. Namenjene su akrilnim bojama jer ih aceton unistava i ako ih koristite s lakovima kao ja, nece vam dugo trajati. 

As for the brushes, they come in a pack of four. Three are liner brushes used for all kinds of lines and the fourth one can be used for anything, from nail art to removing polish from your cuticles. Currently they cost 3.44$. It seems that 17cm long handles are wooden and very thin. They are very nicely and girly decorated. Metal parts are in silver and gold color. I have impression that brushes are easily breakable because parts are not glued well together. As for the bristles I don't have any complaints, they do the job very well. These brushes are mainly for acrylic paints because acetone will destroy them with time and they won't last as long.

Pored nalepnica i cetkica za linije i cvece koristila sam i sledece lakove. Golden Rose Gel Look Top Coat, Flormar 425, Essense Colour And Go 42 Dress For A Moment and Londessa  Color Line 95.

With water decals and liner brush, also the brush for flowers I used these nail polishes. Golden Rose Gel Look Top Coat, Flormar 425, Essence Colour And Go 42 Dress For A Moment and Londessa Color Line 95.

A evo i kako je ispao manikir!

And here is the manicure!

Let It Snow - Snowflakes Nail Design

Kod mene je pao i drugi sneg, nazalost nedovoljno za igranje, ali nadam se da ce ga biti jos, zima je tek pocela! Zato sam se malo poigrala sa jos jednom plocicom sa pahuljicama, ovog puta sa Born Pretty Store. O ovoj plocici vec sam pisala u ovom postu gde sam koristila srca. Kao sto sam vec pisala, ova plocica je jako dobra i nadam se da cu vam je pokazati u jos nekom postu u buducnosti. Kosta 2.99$ i mozete iskoristiti kod FGB10 za 10% popusta pri kupovini, postarina je takodje besplatna!

We had a second snow-fall here, but unfortunately It's still not enough for playing, but It's ok there is still time! So, I decided to play around with one more winter themed stamping plate, this time from Born Pretty Store. I already did a review on this plate, when I used hearts, and you can read It here. As I said, this stamping plate is really good and I hope I will have a chance to show It to you a few more times in the future. It costs 2.99$ and you can use coupon code FGB10 for 10% off your purchase and shipping is free too! 

Lakovi koje sam koristila su Don Juan French Manicure lak iz seta za francuski manikir, kao podlogu, za pecatiranje koristila sam kao i u prethodnom postu Essence Marble Mania 03 Silver Twister i Golden Rose Gel Look Top Coat. Takodje sam koristila i pribor za pecatiranje iz kineske radnje. Moram da naglasim da je ovaj pecat previse mali za dizajn koji ide preko celog nokta, pa se iz tog razloga slicice ne prenose najbolje.

Polishes that I used are Don Juan French Manicure as a base color, for stamping I used the same polish as in previous post Essence Marble Mania 03 Silver Twister and Golden Rose Gel Look Top Coat. I also used stamper and scraper bought at Chinese store. I have to mention that this stamper isn't good for pictures that go all over the nail, so design isn't as perfect as It can be.

A evo i kako je ispalo. Nadam se da vam se dopada! ^____^

And this is how It turned out, I hope you like It! ^____^

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
