31 day challenge: Day 30 - Inspired by a tutorial!

Hola peeps!
Ovaj post sam trebala još jučer objaviti ali viša sila se uplela i slomila sam, ne jedan, ne dva, nego tri nokta! Tako da je jučer bio dan žalovanja ali danas sam odmah krenula u potragu za proljetnim tutorialom za kratke nokte. Inspiraciju sam pronašla u ovoj manikuri a koliko je uspješna bila moja izvedba saznajte na slikama :)
This post I should have published yesterday but somehow I managed to break not one, not two, but three nails! So yeah, yesterday was a grieving day but today I started to look for a Spring-ish tutorial for short nails. I found my inspiration here and how successful my recreation was find out from the pics :)





Koristila sam / I used:
Essence Cotton candy, L.O.L
China Glaze Liquid leather
Smart girls get more 158, 159
Essie Fiji
Alessandro 331N
Wet'n'wild matte top coat
thin brush, dotting tool, scotch tape

Sviđa li vam se manikura? Ima li neka manikura koju već dugo želite isprobati?
Do you like my mani? Is there any mani that you want to try for a while?



Hvala na čitanju! Svećano obećavam da će sutrašnji post biti dulji :D
Thanks for reading! I solemnly swear that my next post will be longer :D

31 day challenge: Day 29 - Inspired by supernatural!

Hola!
Ok, bit ću kratka. Umorna sam. Ovo je bio divan vikend i tako sam sretna što su praznici i što napokon imam vremena za sve što želim!
A sada malo o noktima; manikura je inspirirana Sammynom manikurom i duhovima kao supernatural stvorenjima. Ispala je drugačije s obzirom da imam sasvim drugačiji oblik noktiju ali i dalje mi se sviđa i definitvno ću je opet raditi za Halloween! Ono što mi se ne sviđa su slike. Samo je jedna jer su ostale ispale jako loše. S obzirom da sam radila duhove, stavila sam nadlak da svjetle u mraku i iako je efekt u stvarnost jasno vidljiv, na slikama se jedva primjećuje pa sam odlučila ne uključiti te slike u post. Nadam se da će vam se svejedno sviđati ovaj kratki i slatki postić a sutra ide nešto puno bolje ;)
Ok, I'll be short. I'm tired. This was a lovely weekend and I'm so happy that Spring break is here and that I finally have time to do everything I love!
Let's talk about nails now; this mani is inspired by this one by Sammy and ghosts as supernatural creatures. It turned out differently bc I have a completely different nail shape and size but I still like it and I will definitely do it again for Halloween! The thing I don't like are the pictures. I only have one bc others turned out so bad. Considering I did ghosts, I put on glow in the dark top coat and even though the effect looks really visible in real life, you can barely notice it in the pics so I decided not to include them in the post. Hopefully you'll still like this short but sweet post, something better is coming up tomorrow ;)


Koristila sam / I used:
Maybelline 288
O.P.I Happy anniversary
essence Glow in the night top coat
China Glaze Liquid leather
thin brush

Gledate li seriju Supernatural? Koje biste vi stvorenje odabrale za ovaj challenge?
Do you watch Supernatural? What creature would you choose for this challenge?

31 day challenge: Day 28 - Inspired by a flag!

Hey!
Danas sam radila manikuru inspiriranu zastavom a odabrala saaam....
Today I did a many inspired by a flag and I chose....



..Mikroneziju!! Divna skupina otoka još je jedno od mnogobrojnih mjesta koje želim posjetiti!
A evo i slike zastave te, naravno, manikure:
..Micronesia!! It's a beautiful group of islands and a place I want to visit one day!
And here is a pic of the flag and, of course, the mani:



Koristila sam / I used:
S.he stylezone 281
essence Floral grunge lily bloom
thin brush

Znam da su zvjezdice ispale smotano ali pogledajte vi ovog plavca! Koja boja, koji sjaj! Jedina loša stvar je što su 3 sloja neophodna pa se dulje suši, ali i to lako riješite nadlakom :)
I know that the stars look funky but can you see how pretty this blue polish is! The color, the shine! Only downside is that it requires 3 coats so it dries longer, but you can always use a top coat :)



Sviđa li vam se manikura? Koje zemlje biste vi htjele posjetiti?
Do you like the mani? What countries would you like to visit?


Hvala na čitanju! / Thanks for reading!

31 day challenge: Day 27 - Inspired by artwork!

Hola!
Napokon nova manikura a i challenge se polako bliži kraju (nadam se da se nisam urekla ovime)! Zahvaljujući mojoj iznadprosječnoj lijenosti i dragoj školici, challenge se opasno rastegnuo (bolje da vam ne kažem na koliko mjeseci haha). Ali, drago mi je da sam bez obzira na sve ustrajala i nastavila raditi manikure jer definitivno vidim, a nadam se i vi, veliki napredak u odnosu na onaj iz 2012.!
Sad kad sam napisala te neke misli, možemo krenuti na manikuru! :D
Finally I have a new mani for you guys and this challenge is coming to an end (hopefully I won't jinx it now)! Because of my above average laziness and dear school, challenge dangerously stretched on too many months. But, no matter what, I'm glad I kept doing these manis bc I can surely tell, hopefully you can too, a huge progress since the 2012. one!
Since I've said everything I had in mind, we can take a look at the mani! :D


Koristila sam / I used:
China Glaze White on white
Essence Be berry now
Essie Lilacism
Essie Mint candy apple
Catrice ACid/DC
Maybelline Urban lemon
Smart girls get more 133
Wet'n'wild Matte top coat

Slika kojom sam se inspirala je zapravo moj DIY projekt  a radila sam je vodenim bojama. Izvinjavam se zbog malo teksta danas, jako sam umorna ali sutra obećevam, objasniti ću sve vezano uz manikuru.
The pic I used to get my inspiration is actually a DIY project made by me and I made it using watercolors. I apologize for such a short post, I'm exhausted but I promise I'll explain everything about the mani in my next post.



Koja je vaše najdraža slika? Jeste li ikada isprobale watercolor tehniku na noktima?
What is your favorite painting? Have you ever tried the watercolor technique on your nails?

31 day challenge: Day 26 - Inspired by a pattern!

Heyaa!
Baš sam u nekom hyper raspoloženju haha, eto šta previše kave i muzike čini čovjeku :D
Kao što vidite po naslovu, za današnju manikuru sam se trebala inspirirati uzorkom. Nisam išla na google i tražila neki određeni nego sam jednostavno uzela svoje pločice za štambiljanje i odabrala uzorak koji nisam nikad koristila. Malo drugačija kombinacija ali nije loša :D
I'm in some hyper mood right now, haha, that's what too much coffee and music does to human :D
As you can tell by the title, I was supposed to do a mani inspired by a pattern. I didn't go to google and search for a specific one, I just took my stamping plates and chose a pattern I've never used before. A bit different combination than the usual but I like it :D


Koristila sam / I used:
Catrice Lucky in lilac
O.P.I Dulce de Leche
Essence silver stampy polish
Essence special effect Circus confetti
Essence stamping plate

Danas vam pokazujem i desnu ruku koja je čak i bolje ispala. Manikura je vrlo jednostavna a i nokti su mi dosta narasli, nokat na palcu mi je veličine minijaturne daske za surfanje :D
Today I'm showing you my right hand that actually turned out better than the other one. This mani is really simple and my nails have grown a lot, the nail on my thumb looks like a miniature surfing board :D



Što kažete na manikuru? Kako vama ide štambiljanje? Koristite ga samo u posebnim prilikama ili ste vješte pa ga često radite?
What do you think about this mani? Are you good at stamping? Do you use it only for special occasions or you've mastered it so you do it a lot?

31 day challenge: Day 25 - Inspired by fashion!

Hola!
Danas ću vam pokazati manikuru inspiriranu modom a svoju sam inspiraciju pronašla na najdražem blogu. Nisam baš od volje za pričanjem jer me glava jako boli pa krenimo odmah na manikuru :)
Today I'll show you a mani inspired by fashion and I found my inspiration over at my favorite blog. I'm not in the mood for talking bc my head is killing me so let's go straight to the mani :)


             

Ovo je slika kojom sam se inspirirala. / This is the pic I used as my inspiration.


Koristila sam / I used:
Essie Eternat optimist
China Glaze White on white
China Glaze Liquid leather
Essie Twin sweater set
thin brush
Essence gold foil from the Nail decoration set Fantastic metallics

Nisam baš zadovoljna kako je manikura ispala, top coat je sve razmazao ali sam uzorak je vrlo jednostavan za napraviti. Nadam se da ću u sljedećem postu biti pričljivija i da vam se sviđa manikura :)
I'm not really into this mani, top coat smeared the design but the pattern itself is very easy to make. I hope I'll speak more in my next post and that you like the mani :)



Koji je vaš najdraži (fashion) blog? Imate li neki poseban odjevni predmet kojim biste se inspirirale za ovaj zadatak?
What is your favorite (fashion) blog? Do you have any special clothing piece you'd choose for this task?

31 day challenge: Day 24 - Inspired by a book!

Hello friends!
Danas slijedi nova manikura a zadatak je bio inspirirati se knjigom. Ja sam odabrala jednu meni jako dragu knjigu a to je Volim New York od autorice Lindsey Kelk. Neću vam reći što se događa u njoj nego ću je samo opisati kao jednostavnu, zabavnu knjigu za kojom bih posegnula kada se želim opustiti i nasmijati. Također bih vam toplo preporučila treći nastavak ove knjige, zove se Volim Pariz i presmiješan je!! A sada idemo vidjeti koje sam sve lakove koristila :)
Today I have a new mani for you and the task was to get inspired by a book. The one I chose is very dear to me and it is I love New York by Lindsey Kelk. I won't tell you what's happening in the book, I'll just describe it as a simple, entertaining book that I would reach for when I want to relax or have a good laugh. I would also highly recommend the third part of this book called I love Paris, and it's absolutely hilarious!! And now, let's see what polishes I've used :)

Koristila sam / I used:
Smart girls get more 53
China Glaze White on white
Essie Fiji
Maybelline colorama 288
dotting tool and thin brushes
kitchen sponge
Essence nail decorating set Milky way

Radila sam siluete grada u pastelnim tonovima i dodala malo ukrasa za totalni girly efekt! Htjela sam postići izgled zgrada u daljini i blizini ali neznam koliko vidite na slikama zbog nježne svjetlosti. Jako mi se svidjela ova manikura, nadam se i vama :)
I did city silhouettes in pastel shades and added some rhinestones for a totally girly effect! I wanted to achieve the look of close and far away buildings but I'm not sure how much can you see it because of the soft lighting.
I really loved this mani, I hope you will like it too :)



Jeste li čitale ovu knjigu? Koju bi ste vi knjigu odabrale za ovaj challenge?
Have you read this book? Which book would you choose for this challenge?

31 day challenge: Day 23 - Inspired by a movie!

Hellooooo :D
Jel možete vjerovati da je već treći mjesec?? Ja nemogu, iako mi je drago što se bliže topli i sunčani dani, u glavi mi je još uvijek onaj osjećaj da je tek početak godine. To što je već treći mjesec također znači da sam produljila challenge na još jedan mjesec.. kada (bolje rečeno ako ikada) završim challenge, neka mi netko dođe osobno uručiti certifikat za najljeniju blogericu ikad! :D
Ok, a sada idemo na današnji zadatak a to je manikura inspirirana filmom! Odabrala sam, naravno, moj najdraži film a to je Kako kaže Greta!
Can you believe it's already March?? I can't, even though I'm so happy warmer and sunnier days are getting closer, I still have that feeling in my head that the year just started. And the fact that March has started also means I've prolonged this challenge onto another month.. when (or maybe it's better to say if I ever) I finish this challenge, someone please come and personally hand me worlds laziest blogger ever certificate ! :D
Ok, let's move onto today's task and that is mani inspired by a movie! I've chose, of course, my favorite movie which is According to Greta!


Koristila sam / I used:
China Glaze White on white
China Glaze Liquid leather
Smart girls get more 53
Catrice Sand Francisco
Essence Choose me
Essence Glorious aquarius
O.P.I Dulce le leche
Essence tip painter Grape-metallic rocks
Golden Rose Matte
Essence Cotton Candy
thin brush, dotting tool

Ukratko ću objasniti što znači svaki nokat: na palcu piše ono što je Greti non stop na pameti - kako bi stvari bile bitno drugačije da joj je tata živ, na kažiprstu je uzorak haljine koju je nosila, na srednjem prstu je Julieva tetovaža, na prstenjaku su školjke koje su posvuda u kući od njezine bake i djeda a na malom prstu je sidro.
I'll just explain what each nail means: on my thumb I wrote something Greta always has in her mind - how things would be so much different if her dad was alive, on pointer is a pattern and color of the dress she wore, middle finger is Julie's tattoo, ring finger are sea shells that are everywhere aournd the house and pinkie is an anchor .


Koji je vaš najdraži film? Jeste li ikad gledale Kako kaže Greta?
What is your favorite movie? Have you ever seen According to Greta?
