DIY: ring cushions!

Hola chicas!
Danas vam donosim jedan DIY koji je vrlo jednostavan i koristan!
Ako ste organizacijski frik poput mene, sigurno će vas i najmanja sitnica bosti u oči. Tako je mene smetao nered u mojoj kolekciji prstena koja se ove jeseni utrostručila. Što da kažem, patim na zlatne above the knuckle prstene, ma zapravo na bilo što zlatno :D
U svakom slučaju, evo prije i poslije slika i kratkog tutorijala!
Today I'm bringing you a simple and useful DIY!
If you are a organisation freak as I am, you'll probably be annoyed with any small thing that isn't at its place. I was really bothered with my ring collection mess. This Fall my stash tripled because I can't resist any gold above the knuckle ring, well actually anything gold :D
Any way, here are the before and after pics and a short tutorial!



Što nam je potrebno / supplies needed:
majica / t-shirt
škare / scissors
i, naravno, kutija u kojoj držimo prstene / and, ofc, a box in which you keep your rings

1. Odrežite majici rukave. / Cut off the sleeves.

2. Rukav razrežite na dva dijela i odrežite šav koji spaja rukav. / Cut the sleeve in 2 pieces and cut out the stitch that connetcts them.

3. Odrežite rukave u pravilne pravokutnike (dobit ćete 4 pravokutnika). / Cut off the sleeves in rectangular shape (you will get 4 rectangles).

moj mozak ne poznaje ravne linije zato niti jedna trakica nije savršena ali to nije toliko bitno. / my brain can't recognize a straight line so mine aren't perfect but that isn't that important.

4. Dobivene trakice prerežite na pola i imate osam nezamotanih jastučića! / Cut those rectangles in half and you will get 8 not-yet-wrapped cushions!

5. Čvrsto zamotajte trakice i odrežite višak sa strane. / Wrap the ribbons tightly and cut off the excess material from sides.

6. Posložite jastučiće u kutiju i smjestite prstenje! :) / Put your cushions in the box and organize your rings! :)

I ovako to izgleda na kraju: / Final look:

Jedva su svi stali unutra, neki u posebnim kutijicama, ali ovo bi bila većina njih! Skoro su svi iz H&M-a, ostali su pokloni od frendica :)
I barely squeezed them in, some of them are in separate boxes, but this is most of them! Mostly they're from H&M, others are gifts from my friends :)


Nadam se da vam se svidio ovaj mali tutorijal i svakako mi pošaljite slike ako ga napravite!
I hope that you like this short tutorial and be sure to send me pics if you make this!

Liebster award!

Hey!
Ovaj tjedan je brzo proletio i to nažalost bez ikakvih postova na Shadow. Dva su razloga i ona nisu opravdanja nego ih jednostavno želim podjeliti s vama! Prvi je, naravno, povratak u školu što znači umor x 1000. Napokon sam se jučer uspjela naspavati (punih 12 sati :P) i još sam napravila neke bitne stvari za školu tako da se nadam da će ove godine mi sve to ići lakše. Drugi razlog je nešto grozno....nokat na palcu mi je tako duboko pukao da sam ga zalijepila sa medicinskom trakom i preko nalakirala nokte misleći to će sad fino narasti pa ću to kasnije odrezati....kroz 4 sloja laka + traka nokat je opet uspio puknuti tj. otkriti se, što znači da mi čupa kosu i zapinje u svemu...nasreću, imam dvije manikure koje su napravljene prije te tragedije pa ću i dalje moći postati manikure!
Povrh svega toga, u utorak mi je bio rođendan i željela sam vam pokazati nokte međutim, došli su gosti i bla bla...i evo mene sad ovdje, odugovlačim sa uvodom :D
Zapravo vam želim reći, Sanela me nominirala pred dva dana za Liebster nagradicu i odmah sam išla napisati post jer su pitanja baš zanimljiva + ovo je prvi put da pišem ovakvu vrstu postića! Hvala ti puno Sane, nadam se da ćeš uživati u odgovorima :)
This week has flew away and I haven't posted anything here. There are two reasons and they're not excuse, I just want to share them with you! First is, ofc, going back to school which means tired x 1000. I finally managed to get 12h of sleep yesterday and did some important things for school so I'm hoping that this year things will be easier. The other reason is terrible...my thumb (nail) broke so deep so I glued it with medical tape and did my nails over it. That didn't worked out so it broke again which means it constantly gets stuck in my hair....luckily, I have two manis I did before that tragedy so you will still read about my manis!
Oh, I also had my birthday in tuesday and I wanted to show you my nails but then family came over and stuff, soo...here I am, making this intro way too long :D
I'm trying to say, Sanela nominated me two days ago for Liebster award and I wrote this post right that second beacuse questions are really interesting + this is my first award! Sane, thank you very much, I hope you'll enjoy in answers :)

1. Koji oblik noktiju preferirate (četvrtasti, ovalni, bademasti, okrugli...)?/ Which nail shape do you prefer (squares, oval, round, almond..)?

Svakako bademasti. Mislim da je tako predivan i automatski produljuje nokte! / Almond, for sure. I think it's sooo gorgeous and it automatically makes your nails look bigger!

                          

2. Koliko lakova posjedujete i kako ih organizirate? / How much polishes do you own and where do you store them?

Malo iznad 100. S obzirom na novčanu situaciju trudim se ne kupovati slične boje, eventualno zanimljive finishe. Stoje izloženi na polici na knjigama koje glume stalak. Čak i ne izgleda toliko loše i mislim da ću napraviti post o tome! / A few more than 100. Considering money problems I'm trying not to buy similar colors, only if the finish is different. They are placed on a shelf on books that look like a nail stand. It actually doesn't look that bad, maybe I'll make a post about it!

            

3. Što mislite o geliranim noktima? / Your opinion about gel nails?

Kratko i jasno, ne. / Shortly, no.

5. Gdje najčešće pronalazite inspiraciju za svoje manikure? / Where do you find inspiration for your manis?

Većinu smišljam sama, ako zagusti, tu su YouTube, We<3it i Tumblr! / I think most of them on my own, but if inspiration won't strike, I check YouTube, We<3it and Tumblr!

                        

6. Koliko često mijenjate lak na noktima i koliko vam u prosjeku treba da sredite nokte? / How often do you change your mani and how long it takes for you to make a mani?

Većinom dva puta tjedno, ako imam vremena tri... A vrijeme ovisi, uglavnom 40 minuta. / Mostly two times a week, if I have time three....Time depends, usually 40 min.

                                

7. Najdraži proizvodi za njegu noktiju i kožice oko noktiju? /  Favorite nail and cuticle care products?

Koristim samo essence i najbolji su mi Ultra strong baza i BTGN top coat. Kožicu samo pogurujem. / I use only essence and my faves are Ultra strong base and BTGN top coat. I'm just pushing my cuticles.

                   

8. Nosite li lakove u skladu s godišnjim dobima (tamni - jesen/zima, pastelni - proljeće, neon - ljeto) ili volite i preko zime nabaciti neku ludu boju? / Do you wear polishes that fit the seasons or you like to mix things up?

Radije ih nosim po godišnjim dobima, inače bih zanemarivala tamne boje i nosila samo pastelne i neonce :) / I prefer to wear them over seasons, otherwise I would forget about dark ones and just wear pastels and neons :)       

             

9. Najdraža boja i finish? Postoji li možda neka boja/finish koje ne volite? / Fav color and finish? Is there any color/finish that you don't like?

Nude, mint i hrapavo! A nikako mi neidu mat i cracking i zelene boje (travaste nijanse) :) / Nude, mint and liquid sand! I really dont like mat, cracking and green colors (grassy ones) :)

          

10. Jeste li do sad imale priliku upoznati neku od kolegica blogerica uživo? Ako niste, imate li želju? / Have you ever met any of your blogger friend in person? If you haven't, any wishes?

Za sada samo jednu, a to je Lucy. Nadam se da ću se upoznati sa puno vas na Danima ljepote ove godine ako uopće uspijem doći! / For now only one, Lucy. I hope that I'll meet all of you guys on Dani ljepote this year if I manage to come!

Snow much fun!

Hey!
Nikako ne mogu utvrditi točnost ovog podatka ali svejedno ću vam čestitati, makar morala još jednom u svibnju kako wikipedia kaže. Danas je Svjetski dan smijeha i nadam se da ste se barem jednom nasmijale! Ako niste, možete se nasmijati mojoj manikuri. Nisam baš zadovoljna jer ne volim zelene lakove tako da mi se ovaj čini prilično bezveze na mojim noktima...a možda je to samo meni loš dan, nadam se :)
I can't find any way to make sure that this is a true statement but I'm going to congratulate you even if I have to do it again in May as wikipedia says. Today is World laughter day and I hope that you laughed at least once today! If you haven't, you can laugh at my mani. I'm not very satisfied because I don't like green polishes so I don't like this one on my nails...maybe this is just my bad day, I hope :)


Koristila sam / I used:
essence peel off base (piece of crap..)
essence Cotton candy
Golden Rose Joly Jewels 115
franken
essence Tribal Summer trio - creme tip painter

Započela sam sa peel off bazom u nadi da će me spasiti od ribanja noktiju kad ih poželim skinuti....ljudi moji, to meni ništa ne pomaže... stavila sam jedan sloj nude laka ispod šljokica da mi olakša skidanje. Ako ništa, barem su lijepe :D
I started with peel off base in hope that it would be easier to take it of...you guys, it didn't help at all to me...I applied a coat of nude polish underneath the glitter to make the removing easier. At least they look pretty :D

Hvala na čitanju! / Thanks for reading!

Review: Essence longlasting lipstick Wear berries!

Hey!

Danas vam donosim recenziju jednog ruža zbog kojeg sam počela stavljati naglasak na usta, a ne na oči.

Ako ste imali ikakve dvojbe oko kupnje, nestat će jer mislim da će vam se nakon ovog posta wishlista popuniti  :D
Today I'm bringing you a review of a lip stick that I fell in love with.
If you had any doubt in buying this product, it will be gone and I think that your wishlist is going to get bigger after reading this post :D

Prvo ćemo malo o pakiranju.

Ruž je u crnoj mat plastici koja se neće razbiti pri padu (testirano! :D). U sredini je vidljiva boja ruža kao i na dnu gdje piše nijansa a na vrhu i na samom ružu je otisnuto 'e'. Djeluju vrlo eleganto i skupo a cijena je 21,90 kn / 2.9 eu.
Let's talk about packing.
Lipstick is in black mat plastic that is not easy to break (tested! :D). In the middle you can see the color of the lipstick as well as on the bottom where the name is written. On the top and in the lipstick is printed letter 'e'. They look elegant and expensive and the price is 21,90kn / 2.9 eu.

                                                     

Boju bih opisala kao mat tamno rozu hladnog podtona koja u sjeni baca na ljubičastu. Iako se čini tamna, boja na usnama djeluje svjetlije, samim time i toplije. Miris je klasičan, umjetan ali ne prejak. Tekstura je kremasta i lako se nanose.
I would describe the color as mat dark pink with cold undertone that in shade looks purple. Even though it looks dark, on lips this color looks warmer and lighter. Smell is classical, artificial but not too strong. The texture is creamy and it's easy to apply.

Dugotrajnost bi bila vrlo dobra da neki od nas ne posegnu za hranom ili pićem što, nažalost, ruž neće preživjeti. Nakon par sati nošenja, boja lagano izblijedi. Ono što mi se jako sviđa kod ovog ruža je mogućnost kombiniranja sa drugim bojama. Kao što vidite na slici, nakon prvog sloja, boja više nalikuje pigmentiranom sjajilu što je meni ponekad dovoljno sa preko toga još samo stavim bezbojno sjajilo i izgleda super! Svakako bih preporučila da stavite nekakav labello ispod ruža jer lagano isušuje usne.

Evo i slika kako izgleda na mojim usnama na suncu i u sjeni:
Durability would be very good only if you don't eat or drink anything, then this lipstick won't last long. After a few hours of wearing, color slowly fades. The thing I really like about this lipstick is a possibility of mixing it with other colors. As you can see in the picture, after first coat, color looks like a very pigmented lip gloss so you can wear it like that. I would definitely recommend wearing a lip balm underneath this lipstick because it kinda dries your lips.
Here are the pics how it looks on my lips in the sun and shade:

ispričavam se za dvije vlasi koje su se priljepile za ruž...očito se i njima sviđa :) / I'm sorry for my hair sticking onto the lipstick...I guess my hair likes it too :)

Konačna presuda bi bila: odličan proizvod, pogotovo za tako malu cijenu i mislim da ću kupiti i koraljni i nude tek tako...jer sam hoarder :D
Final conclusion would be: great product aspecially for that low price and I think I'll buy a coral and nude o
ne too..just because I'm a hoarder :D
                                                                *      *      *       *       *

Prije nego što završim ovaj post, htjela bih vam reći da zavirite na ovaj blog i date neku kreativnu ideju za naziv bloga :)
Before I finish this post, I would like to tell you to check out this blog and give her some creative ideas for blog name :)

Hvala svima na čitanju! / Thank you everyone for reading!

365 challenge: Week 46 - 52!

Heeyy!
Žao mi je što ga nisam prije objavila, no ovo je moj poslijednji 365 challenge post! Dogurala sam nekako do kraja i iako vi niste vidjeli baš svaku sliku, mogu reći da sam svaki dan nešto slikala :)
Nakon ovog challenga vidim koliko je fotografiranje teško i zahtjeva vremena ali u isto vrijeme divan hoby!
Ne brinite, i dalje ću objavljivati random slike ali će biti u odvojenim postovima, više u stilu što sam danas radila!
Svima onima koji se tek upuštaju u ovaj challenge želim puno sreće i dobrih trenutaka za okinuti fotićem :D
I'm sorry that I haven't published this post before, it's my last 365 challenge post! Somehow, I managed to finish it and even though you haven't seen all the pics, I actually did photographed every single day :)
After this challenge I see how hard and time consuming photography is, but at the same time wonderful hoby! Don't worry, I'll still publish random pictures, but in separate posts, more like what I did today kind of posts!
To all those who just started this challeng, I wish lots of happiness and good moments to catch :D
