365 challenge: Week 27 - 30!

Hey!
Već je dugo prošlo od poslijednjeg posta ovog tipa....slikam ja svaki dan ali nedjeljom imam najmanje vremena za postanje pa onda svaki put ovaj post izvisi. U svakom slučaju, evo me sa slikama, nadam se da ćete uživati u njima :)

Jelly and Fuzzy (mani + review)!

Hey!
 Spremni za jedan ljetni jelly sandwich? Sigurno jeste! Uz sandwich, na meniju je i review Essenceovog flocking / velvet powdera :D
Ready for a Summer-y jelly sandwich? Of course you are! While enjoying your sandwich, you can read my review of Essence Flocking powder :D

Koristila sam / I used:
SGGM 55 (3 thick coats)
L'oreal Confettis (1 coat)
SGGM 123 (2 thick coats)
Catrice Run forest, run (2 coats)
Essence Guerilla Gardening Flocking Powder - I'm the moss

Moram priznati, nisam zadovoljna. Namazala sam 2 sloja Run forest, run-a i posula powder na nokat. Primio se na većinu nokta dok nisam očistila područje oko noktiju sa širokim kistićem (fan brush). Tu sam skinula manji dio powdera s nokta ali je i dalje izgledalo efektno. Kada je na noktu, stvarno je mekan, kao ručnik ali ostaje na prstima ako gladite nokat. S obzirom da se top coat ne smije dodati, tu sam s poslom na srednjem prstu bila gotova. Poslijepodne sam otišla na plažu i malo pomalo, na noktu nije bilo ničeg osim zelenog laka....:(
Možda je stvar u tome što nije predviđen za plažu tj. polijevanje s vodom. U svakom slučaju, isprobat ću ga opet na zimu u nekoj božičnoj manikuri (vjenčić ili tako nešto ;), nadam se da će se dulje održati, barem jedan dan....
Još par rečenica o proizvodu. Dio je kolekcije Guerilla Gardening, zove se I'm the moss i ima rozu sestru. Pakiranje je kao od pigmenata (0,8g) i cijena je 17,90kn. S obzirom da su u Mulleru uvijek barem 2 essencove kolekcije, najstarija je na sniženju. Tako sam ja upecala ovaj flocking powder i Catricov lak (uskoro swatchevi! :) po gore navedenoj cijeni!
Sve u svemu, nije me oduševio, ali ne gubim nadu da će biti super u nekoj Božićnoj manikuri! :)
I have to admit, I'm not satisfied with it. I put 2 coats of Run forest, run and sprinkled it with this powder. It covered my whole nail until I cleaned the area around my nail with a fan brush. That removed just a bit of powder from my nail, but it still looked cute. When you touch your nail, it feels so soft, like a towel, but it remains on your fingers. Considering you shouldn't put top coat over it, I was done. In the afternoon I went on the beach and I noticed that I don't have any powder left on my nail.....:(
Maybe it's a mistake to go underwater with it on your nails. Anyway, I'm saving it for Christmas for some thematic mani, so I hope it will last longer, at least a day...
Just a bit more about the product. It's a part of Guerilla Gardening LE, it's called I'm the moss and it has a pink sister. It is packed like pigments (0,8g) and it costs 2,4eu. In our Muller there are always at least 2 essence collections, so the oldest is on sale. That's how I got this powder + a Catrice polish (swatches soon! :) for that price!
Overall, I'm not loving it, but I'm not losing my hope that it will look awesome in some Christmas mani! :)

Prije jelly sandwicha / before jelly sandwich

Lak je toliko neonski da nisam mogla poštenu sliku okinut!
Čak sam napravila i istu pedikuru :)
This polish is so neonic, I couldn't take a decent picture of it!
Anyway, I loved this combo, I event made it as a pedicure :)

To je sve za danas, nadam se da vas nisu ubile ove silne informacije i ne zaboravite čekirati moju 10 days Summer challenge stranicu gdje možete mi se možete pridružiti u tom challengu!
Hvala na čitanju!
That was everything for today, I hope I didn't kill you with all those informations about this powder and don't forget to check out my 10 days Summer challenge page where you can see and join in that challenge!

Candy Apple Sprinkles!

Hey!
Isprobala sam jednu od najlijepših kombinacija ikad! Mint + B&W glitter....divotica! :D
I tried one of the best combos ever! Mint + B&W glitter....sweet! :D

Koristila sam / I used:
Essie Mint Candy Apple
L'oreal Confettis

Na svim noktima su tri tanka sloja MCA i jedan sloj Confettisa koji se svugdje drugačije rasporedio. U svakom slučaju i ja i frendica smo zaljubljene u završni izgled! :)
I'm wearing three thin coats of MCA and one coat of Confettis that is placed differently on every nail. Anyway, my friend and I love this look! :)

Neon Stripes!

Hello!
Još jedna manikura u kojoj glavnu ulogu ima Lilacism. :)
Another mani in which I used Lilacism :)

Koristila sam / I used:
essie Lilacism
SGGM 152
striping

S obzirom da se Lilacism brzo suši a rad sa striping tapeom je vrlo jednostavan, manikura je bila gotova u trenu! :)
Nadlak mi je stvorio nekoliko mjehurića što me smetalo ali nisu (nasreću) jako vidljivi.
Considering Lilacism dries very quickly and striping tape is really easy to use, this mani was done in a minute! :)
The top coat made a couple of bubbles which annoyed me but they weren't soo much visible.

Braided pastels

Hey!
Žao mi je što sam pomalo odsutna...iskreno, i nemam volje napisati post a onda kad se prisilim, totalno se ufuram i zapričam i na kraju moram ići negdje pa ga ne napišem do kraja... No dobro, evo me sa jednom pastelnom, proljetnom manikurom s kojom nisam bila skroz zadovoljna zbog točkica; ne sviđa mi se kombinacija boja kod točkica, zelena djeluje bljakasto :D
Da ne duljim, evo i slika..
I'm sorry for being a bit absent every now and then...to be honest, I get lazy and don't want to write a post, then I make myself and start writing it...then I talk too much in it and finally, I have to go somewhere and I haven't finished it yet....  Anyhow, here I am with a pastel, Spring-ish mani I'm not completely in love. I don't like the color combo on dotted nail, green looks ugly :D
And finally, here are the pics..

Koristila sam / I used:
essie Lilacism (swatch)
Maybelline Green Park
SGGM 159
dotting tool

Kako sjaji ovaj Lilacism!! *.*
Na srednjem prstu sam radila pletenicu tj. braid i tehnika mi se čini vrlo teškom. Stalno sam morala popravljati linije i teško je odrediti redoslijed po kojem nižete boju...linkajte mi tutorijal u komentaru ako znate koji dobar za braid manikuru :)
This Lilacism is soo glossy!! *.*
On middle finger I made a braid which I found very hard to do. I kept fixing every line I did and it's really hard for me to understand what is proper order for color painting...drop a link in comments if you know any easy tutorial for braid mani :)

Random swatch post!

Hey!
Evo nekoliko swatcheva lakova koje često viđate na blogu. Sigurno ste se pitali koju bijelu i crnu koristim, koliko slojeva im treba i koja su marka (naravno da su essence, dobro me poznajete :D ).
Here are a couple of swatches of polishes that I use frequently. I bet you were wondering what white and black do I use, how many coats they require and which brand are they (of course they're essence, you know me well :D ).

Krenimo! Let's go!

Započnimo s bijelom!
Radi se o essence Lily Bloom iz Floral Grunge kolekcije. Lijepa bijela sa sitnim žuto-narančasto-crvenim shimmerom. Iako na bočici stoji The pearl nije biseran ali nije ni čista krema. Potrebna su 3 sloja, inače je preproziran. Suši se relativno brzo, ja uvijek dodam tanki sloj TC-a da ubrzam stvari. Bočica sadrži 10ml i cijena je 13,90kn.
Let's start with the white one!
It's essence Lily Bloom from Floral Grunge LE. It is a nice white with yellow-orange-red shimmer. Even though the bottle says The pearl it is not pearly or creamy. Something in between. It requires 3 coats, it's a bit sheer. It dries relatively fast, I always add a coat of TC to speed things up. It contains 10ml and it costs 1,85eu.

Slijedeći je Essie Lilacism.

Next is  Essie Lilacism.

Savršenstvo *__*
Essie lakovi su odličan primjer raja na Zemlji :) Obožavam sve vezano za tu marku; izbor boja, količinu (13,5ml), sjaj i dugotrajnost, pa čak i to da im trebaju tri sloja. Cijenu neću komentirati, 80kn je inače ali ja sam ih 'nabola' za 60 prilikom popusta u Bipi. Mislim da sam sve rekla, još ću samo napomenuti da ih OBOŽAVAM!! (pretjerujem?! okej, chillat' ću :))
Perfection *___*
Essie polishes are great example of heaven on Earth :) I love everything about them; variety of colors, the quantity (13,5ml), it shine and durability, even the fact they require 3 coats. Price is awful, 10,7eu....I'm glad I picked mine when they were 25% off (8eu). I think I said everything, I'll just mention that I ADORE  them!! (overreacting?! ok, I'll chill :))



Slijedi Essie Mint Candy Apple!
Next - Essie Mint Candy Apple!

Osim boje, sve je isto kao i kod Lilacisma. Boja koju svatko treba imati! ;)

Except for the color, everything is the same as Lilacism. A color that is a must! ;)

SGGM 53 je divna plavkasto-ljubičasta boja. Pokriva u 2 deblja sloja i suši se brzo. Cijena je 11,90kn.

SGGM 53 is a lovely periwinkle color. It requires 2 thick coats and it dries fast. Price is 1,7eu.

Glitter gradient

Hey!
Ova tri dana bez postanja činila su mi se kao tri tjedna! Ispričavam se na toj stanci, nadam se da se neće ponoviti. Da vas ne gnjavim sa isprikama, pokazat ću vam jednu manikuru :)
These three days without posting felt like three weeks! I apologize on that break, I hope it won't happen again. I don't want to bother you with excuses, I'll show you a mani :)

Koristila sam / I used:
Rimmel Sky High
essence Mr. & Mrs. Glitter
             Circus Confetti
             Choose me
a kitchen sponge

Nakon jednog debljeg sloja Sky High-a, naspužvala sam šljokice po vrhovima noktiju i dodala sloj top coata. Palac i mali prst su mi najlijepši, kombinacija je odlična.
After one thick coat of Sky High, I sponged the glitters on top of my nails and add a coat of top coat. I like the thumb and pinky the best, the color combo is the prettiest.

Još samo jedna mala obavijest, frendica i ja kreirale smo jedan ljetni challenge. Ako se itko želi pridružiti neka se javi u komentaru do 20.7., ili neka škicne link ispod naslova bloga.
Just a short notice, my friend and I made a Summer challenge. If anybody wants to join in, let me know in the comment section untill July 20th, or check out the link under the name of the blog.

Tribal Summer (review)!

Hola!
Essencova nova kolekcija, Tribal Summer, vrvi lijepim ljetnim bojama stoga je nisam mogla propustiti :)
Kupila sam set od tri laka i, naravno, odmah ih isprobala.
Tribal Summer, new Essence collection, is filled with nice, summery colors, so I couldn't miss it :)
I bought a trio set and, of course, tried it right away.

Dakle, set se zove Aztecs ceremony  i u njemu su tri tip paintera u bojama iz kolekcije; crnoj, rozo-ljubičastoj i nekakvoj čudnoj (ali lijepoj!!) žutoj. Svaki lak ima 4ml, kao Confettis i možete vidjeti da sam već potrošila otprilike jednu četvrtinu :)
So, the set is named Aztecs ceremony and it has three tip painters in these colors: black, pink-purpl-ish and a strange (but pretty!!) yellow color. Each polish has 4ml, like Confettis and I already spent about 1/4 of polish :)

Lakovi su dobro pigmentirani, osim žutog, njemu trebaju barem dva sloja da crta bude vidljiva. Četkice su odlične, nisu preduge niti predebele ali sam primjetila jednu manu. Kada sam koristila žuti lak, nakon par minuta, lak se zgusnuo i počeo nakupljati na kistiću i kapati, što je onemogučilo povlačenje tanke, ravne linije. Srećom, to sam riješila tako što sam povukla par crta po papiru i višak laka se automatski obrisao.
The polishes are well pigmented, except for the yellow one, it requires at least two coats. Brushes are excellent, they're not to long or wide but I noticed one flaw. When I used the yellow polish, after few min. polish started to gather on the brush, it became thick and it was impossible to draw a nice line. Fortunately, I solved the issue by drawing a couple of lines on paper so polish could simply wipe of the brush.

Zaključak: lakovima sam zadovoljna, formule su im guste što pomalo otežava crtanje ali nisam požalila kupnju! :)
A sada manikura!
Conclusion: I'm satisfied with the polishes, they're a bit too thick but I'm happy I purchased them! :)
Onto the mani!

Koristila sam Essies Mint Candy Apple (3 sloja) / I used Essie Mint Candy Apple (3 coats).

Bubbles from top coat -.-
