31 day challenge: Day 12 - Stripes

Hey!
TGIF, jelda? :) Pa, evo jednog laganog postića dok gledam Teoriju velikog praska.
Prvom verzijom manikure nisam nikako bila zadovoljna pa sam ju nedavno napravila opet i zato imam drugačiji oblik noktiju. Pokazat ću vam je ali samo jednu sliku jer je stvarno grozno ispala :$
TGIF, right? :) Well, here's a simple post while I'm watching The big bang theory.
I wasn't satisfied at all with the first version of this mani so I did it again so that's why I have a different nail shape. I'll show you only one pic bc it really turned out bad :$

Ok, sada kad ste vidjeli i taj užas, krenimo na pravu manikuru :D
Ok, now, when you saw that disaster, we can move onto a real mani :D

Koristila sam / I used:
China Glaze Liquid leather
striping tape small dotting tool
Catrice Captain Sparrow's boat (samo za malene točkice / only for those little dots)

Dosta jednostavna ideja, našla sam ju na Tumblru ali nemam pojma čija je. Vidljiv je tip wear a manikuru sam slikala jutro nakon što sam je napravila.. tako je to sa crnim lakom haha. Doduše ovaj oblik noktiju je dosta zeznut jer ti nakon dva dana više ne izgledaju onako špicasti pa ih moraš opet izrašpati. Koje su to komplikacije kod nas lakoholičarki :D
Really a simple idea, I got it of Tumblr but I don't know the source. You can see the tip wear and I took this pic a morning after I did it.. perks of black nail polish haha. Actually, this nail shape is pretty messed up bc after 2 days your nails don't look that pointy anymore so you have to file them again. What a complication for us polish addicts :D

31 day challenge: Day 11 - Polka dots

Hey!
Na kraju još jednog vikenda, evo mene s novim postom i novom manikurom! Trenutačno vani kiša pljušti i baš me nekako uhvatila volja za pisanjem :D
Današnji zadatak su točkice a s njima započinjemo drugu trećinu ovog challengea!
At the end of another weekend, here I am with a new post and a new mani! At this moment, rain is pouring outside and I really got in the writing mood :D
Today's task are polka dots and with them we're starting another third of this challenge!

Koristila sam / I used:
Essence Naughty and pink
Essie Fiji
dotting tool
Essence nail decoration set Fantastic metallics

Iskreno, nemam pojma šta je to na accent noktu, samo sam znala da želim koristiti te velike šljokice haha. Ova manikura mi je totalno Minnie Mouse i jako mi se sviđalo malo za promjenu nositi ženskaste, pinki nokte :D
Honestly, I have no idea what's goin' on on my accent nail, I just knew I wanted to use big glitters haha This mani is totally Minnie Mouse and I really liked wearing girly, pinky nails for a change :D

31 day challenge: Day 10 - Gradient

Hola!
Danas sam kratka jer sam jako umorna, obećajem, u sljedećem postu ću napisati više od dvije rečenice, obećajem! :D
Today I'm short bc I'm really tired but I promise, in the next post I'll write more then 2 sentences, I promise! :D

Koristila sam / I used:
SGGM 52
SGGM 159
Essie Fiji
Essie Lilacism
permanent marker

Ova je manikura u čast ovim divnim sunčanim danima koji završavaju takvim zalascima da je to nevjerojatno! Dobro, a i vidjela sam sličnu manikuru pa sam ju htjela jednom napravit :D
Opet sam malo razmazala marker sa nadlakom ali to je ta moja glupost koja nikako da shvati da markeru treba vremena da se osuši i da trebam oprezno stavljat nadlak..
Oh, raspričala se ja... danas je jedan od onih hiperaktivnih dana kad je sve smiješno i blesavo tako da ću sad prestat bezveze blebetat haha
This mani is in honor of these few sunny days that are ending with beautiful sunsets, you can't even imagine! Ok, and I saw a similar idea for a mani so I wanted to try it once :D
Again I smudged my drawing a bit with top coat but that's just me being silly and not realizing that marker is drying slowly and I should be careful with top coat..
Oh, I started to babble.. today it's one of those hysterical days when everything is funny and silly so I'm just gonna stop talking now haha




Hvala vam puno na čitanju! / Thank you so much for reading!

31 day challenge: Day 9 - Rainbow nails

Hey!
Vani je napokon divan i sunčan dan a mene je uhvatila prehlada... Osjećam se kao ljenivac jer sve radim tako usporeno haha
Today finally is a beautiful, sunny day and I caught a cold... I feel like a sloth because I'm doing everything so slow haha

                               

Ok, šalu na stranu, danas ću vam pokazati devetu manikuru u ovom challengu! Nadam se da vas ne smeta što postam svaki drugi dan ali zaista nemam vremena ni snage svaki dan pisati post, lakše mi je jedan dan urediti slike i započeti post a drugi dan ga urediti do kraja :)
Opet sam skrenula s teme, najbolje da vam odmah pokažem manikuru :D
Ok, enough joking, today I'll show you my ninth mani in this challenge! I hope you don't mind me posting every other day but I really don't have enough time or strength to write a post every day, it's easier for me to edit pics and start a post one day and then the other to wrap it up :)
Again, I've gone off the subject, it would be the best if I just showed you my mani :D

Koristila sam / I used:
Essie Fiji
striping tape from eBay

Ovu ideju sa striping tapeom imam već dugo ali mi se sad čini da sam ipak mogla nešto više šareno smisliti. Oh, well, i dalje mi se sviđa :)
A  sada me ispričajte, idem pripremati kekse i čaj jer se baš osjećam nekako produktivno! Iako, nisam niti prišla knjigama za školu tako da možda i nisam baš toliko vrijedna  haha :D
I've had this striping tape idea for a while in my head but now it seems to me that I could make something more colorful for today. Oh, well, I still like it though :)
And now, excuse me, I'm going to make some cookies and tea bc I fell really productive right now! Ironically, I hadn't even looked at my school books so maybe I'm not that hardworking haha :D

31 day challenge: Day 8 - Metallic nails

Hey!
Danas ću biti kratka jer uređujem još nekoliko postića a već je dosta kasno :D
Today I'll be short bc I'm editing a few more posts and it's pretty late already :D

Koristila sam / I used:
Golden Rose matte 15
essence tip painter grape metallic rocks
Look by Bipa nail liner blue pearl
Golden Rose nail liner 138

Odlučila sam se na kombinaciju mat i sjajnih noktiju s obzirom na to da metallic lakovi su jako sjajni sami po sebi. Ovo je moj prvi Golden Rose matte lak i ugodno sam se iznenadila kad sam vidjela koliko je divan! Boja se sjaji gotovo holografski kada stavim nadlak i suši se jako brzo a trebaju mu 2 sloja. Ostali lakovi koje sam kosristila su tip painteri i to je učinilo ovu manikuru kratkom ali slatkom jer sam ju smislila i napravila u 15 minuta :D
I've decided to try out a combo of mat and shiny nails considering that metallic polishes are really shiny itself. This is my first Golden Rose matte polish and I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered how gorgeous it is! The color is almost holographic when you put on a top coat and it dries really fast requiring 2 coats. Other polishes I used are tip painters that made this mani short and sweet bc I imagined and made it in 15 minutes :D



Hvala na čitanju i vidimo se sutra! / Thanks for reading and I'll see you tomorrow!

31 day challenge: Day 7 - Black and white nails

Hey!
Vrijeme je za sedmu manikuru u ovom challengeu a to je bijelo-crni nokti! Svoju inspiraciju sam pronašla kod Sammy i odtada razmišljam da moram napraviti tu manikuru :)
Također sam i skratila nokte pa se nemojte prepasti kad vidite koliko su maleni :D
It's time for seventh manicure in this challenge and that is black and white nails! I've found my inspiration at Sammy's and ever since I knew I had to do that mani :)
Also, I shortened my nails so don't get scared when you see how tiny they are :D


Koristila sam / I used:
China Glaze White on white
China Glaze Liquid leather
L'Oreal Confettis
Essence Soft touch

Ispričavam se na dva zgnječena nokta, zaspala sam prije nego što su se osušili :)
Sviđa mi se kako je manikura ispala i kako su se crna i bijela lijepo pomiješale. A, budimo iskreni, nemožeš pogriješiti s Confettisom :D
I apologize for two screwed nails, I fell asleep before they dried :)
I like how mani turned and how black and white mixed nicely. And, let's be honest, you can't go wrong with Confettis :D


Hvala na čitanju! / Thanks for reading!

31 day challenge: Day 6 - Violet nails

Hey!
Neću vas danas puno gnjaviti sa svojim blebetanjem jer se osjećam jako loše, muka mi je i mislim da je najbolje da odem spavat čim prije. Možda je stvar u ovoj velikoj promjeni vremena o kojoj svi pričaju.. Zapravo se veselim kiši iako je ove godine prouzročila puno problema i meni i drugima.
Hm, vratimo se mi na manikuru :)
I won't bother you with my rambling today because I'm feeling really poorly, I feel nauseous and I think it would be the best for me to just go to bed earlier. Maybe it's because this big weather change that eveybody talks about is goin' on.. Actually, I'm looking forward to rain but it caused so many problems this year, for me and others.
Hm, let's go back to mani :)


Koristila sam / I used:
China Glaze White on white
Essie Lilacism
Catrice Lucky in Lilac
Anny A star is born
China Glaze Liquid leather

Jedan savjet ako nemate puno lakova u istoj boji: kada radite ombre, nalakirajte bijeli i crni lak na dva nokta. Osim što izgleda vrlo lijepo, (pa, lijepše nego lakovi različitih finiša i podtonova zajedno) zapravo je i ispravno ako gledamo po nijansama jer je sve počelo sa bijelom i završilo sa crnom ;)
A tip for those that don't have many polishes in the same color: when doing ombre, put white and black polish on two of your nails. Not does it only look pretty (well, prettier then polishes with different finish and undertone together) but it's also correct if you look at the shades because it all started with white and ended with black ;)


Sada, kada sam podijelila svoju mudrost s vama, zaželjet ću vam laku noć i zahvaliti na posjeti :)
Now, when I shared my wisdom with you, I will say good night to you guys and thank you for visiting :)

31 day challenge: Day 5 - Blue nails

Hey!
Danas za vas imam kratak postić jer je već kasno i sutra je škola a ja po običaju sve radim u zadnji čas :D
Today I have a short post for you because it's really late and school is tomorrow and I'm doing everything last minute as always :D

Koristila sam / I used:
essence Chuck
China glaze White on white
Maybelline Urban lemon
essence it's two bright

Na prvoj slici je boja ispala prilično nerealno, kao royal plava a essence Chuck je divna, kremasta indigo boja. Inspiraciju za daisy half moon sam našla kod Nailasaurus a za glitter gradient kod Pshiiit. Jako mi se sviđa današnja manikura, možda mi je čak i najdraža dosad :D
On the first pic color looks totally unreal, like royal blue when in reality essence Chuck is a lovely, creamy indigo color. Daisy half moon inspiration I found at Nailasaurus and glitter gradient inspiration I found at Pshiiit. I really like todays mani, I could even say it's my favorite :D



Hvala na čitanju i vidimo se sutra! / Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow!

31 day challenge: Day 4 - Green nails

Hello!
Danas uz manikuru ću vam pokazati i tutorial za slatke i jednostavne kiwi nokte!
Today, beside the mani, I also have a tutorial for you guys on how to make sweet and simple kiwi nails!


Koristila sam / I used:
Catrice ACid/DC
SGGM 123
China Glaze White on white
New age no name
thin brush and dotting tool

1. Započnite sa dva ili tri lijepa sloja zelenog laka. Da dobijem pravu nijansu, ja sam kombinirala dvije boje, boju limete i neon zelenu.
2. Napravite ovalni oblik na sredini nokta i popunite ga.
3. Povucite kratke crtice iz sredine oblika.
4. Dodajte velike smeđe točke na par mjestiju.
5. Dodajte puno malih smeđih točkica da popunite praznine.
1. Start of with 2 or 3 nice, even coats of green polish. To get the exact shade I had to combine a lime and a neon green polish.
2. Make an oval shape in the middle of the nail and fill it in.
3. Draw short lines coming from the center of the oval shape.
4. Add a couple of large dots.
5. Add smaller dots to fill the space.

Nadam se da vam se svidjela manikura i tutorijal i čitamo se sutra!

 I hope you like my mani and the tutorial and I'll see you tomorrow!

31 day challenge: Day 3 - Yellow nails

Hey!
Spremni za novu manikuru? :)
Ja sigurno nisam bila, promjenila sam manikuru 3 puta jer sam imala velikih problema sa lakovima.. Ali baš mi se svidio krajnji rezultat i mislim da ću ovu kombinaciju nositi još koji put :)
Ready for a new mani? :)
I sure wasn't, I changed my nails 3 times because I had major problems with my polishes. But, I really like how it finally turned out and I think I will wear this combo again :)

Koristila sam / I used:
SGGM 47
Maybelline Urban Lemon
S-he 115
kitchen sponge

Ako se pitate zašto držim Starbucks čašu to je zato što mi ju je frendica donjela iz Pariza i bila sam toliko sretna da sam ju morala slikati s noktima.. šta da kažem, mene sve veseli :D
A ako tražite savršen pastelno žuti lak, toplo preporučam SGGM 47 jer je odličan!
If you are wondering why am I holding a Starbucks cup, it's because my friend came back from Paris and that was one of her gifts for me and I was so happy, I had to take a picture of it with my mani.. what can I say, I get happy on everything :D
And, if you're searching for a perfect pastel yellow polish, I highly recommend SGGM 47 because it's amazing!

31 day challenge: Day 2 - Orange nails

Heyaaa!
Vrijeme je za drugi zadatak a to su narančasti nokti! Da sam započela sam challengem, recimo, u siječnju, imala bih samo jedan lak koji bih upotrijebiti. Na sreću, u zadnje vrijeme sam kupila nekoliko narančastih lakića i nekako se opet zaljubila u tu boju :)
It's time for the second task and that is orange nails! If I started this challenge, let's say, in January, I'd have only one polish to use, Luckily, lately I bought a couple of orange polishes and I fell in love in that color again :)

Koristila sam / I used:
Essie Tart deco
L'Oreal Confettis

Napokon sam i ja probala taj divni Tart deco i, moram vam reći, Essie me nikad ne razočara! Kvaliteta je odlična, lakovi su sjajni i dugotrajni (opa, bacam rime, možda da i pjesmicu napišem :D).
Još ću i pohvaliti Confettis koji se vrlo lijepo mazao i nigdje nisam imala premalo niti previše šljokica.
Finally, I tried that divine Tart deco and, lemme tell you, Essie never disappoints me! 
Quality is amazing, polishes are shiny and long lasting, I just love them! :)
I also want to say that Confettis was nice today too, it didn't leave spots with too much or too little glitter.

31 day nail challenge: Day 1 - Red nails

Hey!
Od danas počinjem sa 31 day nail challengem!! Zadnji put sam ga radila 2012. i kako je to izgledalo možete pogledati ovdje (bilo je to pred puno vremena pa mi nemojte zamjeriti neurednost :)).
Neću puno pričati jer je pred nama jedna ljetna manikura, kao u čast ovom suncu koje se napokon odlučilo pokazati :D
Today I'm starting with 31 day nail challenge!! Last time I did it was back in 2012. and you can check that out here (it was a long time ago so please don't hate me because of the messy manicures :)).
I won't talk a lot bc I have a Summery mani for you guys to celebrate the fact that Sun finally decided to show up :D

Koristila sam / I used:
Essence Glamorous life
Catrice Run Forest, run
China Glaze Liquid leather
China Glaze White on wnite
Catrice ACid/DC

Kao što možete vidjeti, crveni lak je vrlo sjajan i šljokičast ali se lako skida. Šteta što je Essence izbacio tolike dobre lakove.. Sa crnim lakom sam imala malo problema no, sve u svemu sam zadovoljna kako je manikura ispala ;)
As you can see, the red nail polish is really shiny and glitter but easy to remove. It's a shame that Essence discontinued so many great polishes.. I had some problems with black nail polish but over all I'm happy how this mani turned out :)


                                                                    *              *              *

Nadam se da vam se svidjela manikura! Hvala na čitanju i vidimo se sutra sa manikurom broj 2!
I hope you liked my mani! Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow for mani number 2!
