Flormar Matte M11 Dark Purple

Davnijeh dana sam lakove sa kojima nisam znala šta da radim nudila za razmenu na Krpicama, a u zamenu sam uzimala lakove koje verovatno ne bih nikada sama kupila, čisto da ih isprobam. Tako sam došla do para Flormar Matte lakova. Pošto su mat i bez šimera, nisam ih nosila dok me jedna lakoholičarka nije podsetila da bih mogla da ubijem dve muve jednim udarcem - da isprobam lak koji još nisam nosila i toper koji nisam nosila.

A long time ago I used to swap polishes that I didn't know what to do with, and I would take polishes that I normally wouldn't buy on my own, just to give them a try. That is how I came to own two Flormar Matte polishes. Since they are just plain matte, I didn't wear them until a polishaholic reminded me that I could kill two birds with one stone - try an untried polish with a topper I haven't worn.

Flormar Full Color FC23 Petite Mint

Pošto smo u petak mazale mint lakove i pokazala sam vam tačkasti manikir, vreme je da vam predstavim i lak koji sam koristila kao osnovu. Dobila sam ga prošle godine, dok smo još radili iz kancelarije, od koleginice kojoj nije legao. Kako volim mintaće, nisam se bunila :) Flormar lakovi se mogu nabaviti u Lilly i DM drogerijama i koštaju oko 120 dinara, mada često budu na popustu.

Since we have worn mint polishes since Friday and I have already shown you my dotticure, it is time to show you the polish I used as base. I have gotten it last year, while we were still working from the office, from a coworker who didn't feel it. And as I love minty polishes, I didn't object :)

Minty Dotticure

Uporedo sa povratkom blogu, vratila sam se i Instagramu, mada iz sasvim drugih razloga. Ranije sam imala dosta slobodnog vremena i to sam vreme rado provodila na Instagramu. Onda sam imala sve manje vremena i prolazili bi dani, nedelje pre nego što bih pokrenula aplikaciju. Sticajem okolnosti, poslednjih nekoliko meseci zbog posla često idem na Instagram te tako osim poslovnih stvari vidim i ponešto od onoga što meni dragi ljudi kače. Takođe je sada skoro godinu dana otkako radim od kuće te pauze ne mogu da provodim u razgovoru sa kolegama, ali zato mogu da gledam razne lepe slike. Tako sam naišla na nagradni izazov koji je pokrenuo sajt Whats Up Nails. Trenutna tema za izazov su tačkice.

As I returned to my blog, I returned to Instagram as well, although due to a different cause. I used to have a lot of free time, which I loved to spend on Insta. Then I had less and less time and days and weeks would go by without me even starting the app. However, it happened that I actually need to use Instagram for work quite often, which means that alongside business-related stuff, I also catch a glimpse of what people I follow shared. And it is now almost a year since I've been working from home, whiche means that I am no longer spending my breaks talking to my coworkers, but I can spend them now looking at pretty pictures. That is how I found a nail art challenge by Whats Up Nails, and the current theme is dotticure.

Born Pretty BP-L010

Mada generalno nisam ljubitelj etno motiva na noktima, ovi na Born Pretty BP-L010 pločici su toliko topli da sam morala da ih iskoristim za ovo lepo vreme.

While I am normally not a fan of ethic patterns on nails, these from Born Pretty BP-L010 stamping plate are so warm that I had to use them for this nice weather.

EnjoyOurs Nail Vinyls

U nail art svetu su lepljivi šabloni veoma popularni u poslednjih par godina i proizvođači se stalno utrkuju ko će izbaciti originalnije motive. I na EnjoyOurs sajtu se mogu nabaviti proizvodi ovog tipa te sam ja iskoristila priliku da neke isprobam.

Nail vinyls have been very popular for the last couple of years and manufacturers keep competing who will offer more original designs. EnjoyOurs has a selection of these products and I took a chance to try some of them.

Flormar 399

U poslednjih nekoliko godina retko kupujem Flormar lakove. Ne zbog onog uvoznika već zbog nepostojanja uzbudljivih novih boja na našem tržištu. I pored toga sam proletos uzela dva, više zbog toga što su pametno postavljeni pored kase u DM-u i zato što su bili 99 dinara nego zato što mi je neki zaista trebao. Realno, da li mi ijedan lak više treba? Sve u svemu, računala sam da neću propasti za toliko i da mogu da isprobam još koji Flormar. Redovna cena u DMu im je oko 140 dinara, a bočice su od 11 ml.

I haven't been buying Flormar polishes much these last several years. Not because of that importer, but because there are no new and exciting colours on the market. Despite all that, I did get a couple this spring, more thanks to their smart position next to the POS in DM than because I needed them. To be honest, do I need any more polish? Anyhow, I knew that the world won't end because of it and that I could give Flormar a go again.

Born Pretty BPX-l012 Exoticism

Već neko vreme sam bila u potrazi za pločicom sa dobrim izborom slika plamena, a ova pločica mi je došla kao naručena. Ne samo što ima plamenove, nego ima i nekoliko feniksa, što znači da sam mogla da na bolji način uradim manikir inspirisan natprirodnim koji smo radili pre nekoliko meseci, a kojim nisam bila zadovoljna.

I've been looking for a stamping plate with good selection of flame images for some time now, and this plate was just what I had in mind. Not only does it have flames, but it also has some phoenix designs, which means that I could remake Inspired by Supernatural Matching Manicure we had done several months ago, that I was not pleased with.

http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-126cm-rectangle-stamping-template-manicure-nail-image-plate-exoticism-l012-p-36347.html

Obično za predstavljanje pločica uradim četiri manikira sa po jednom slikom, ali ovom prilikom sam iskoristila četiri motiva za jedan manikir. Nadam se da vam se rezultat sviđa.

I usually do four manis using one image for each when I do stamping plate reviews, but this time I used four designs for a single mani. I do hope you like the end result.

Born Pretty BP-X01 Stamping Plate

Born Pretty Store na moju radost samo izbacuje nove proizvode za pečatiranje, zadržavajući visok kvalitet na koji sam se navikla. Jedan od skorašnjih dodataka njihovoj ponudi su kvadratne pločice, od kojih vam jednu predstavljam danas.

http://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-66cm-square-nail-stamp-template-baroque-floral-design-image-plate-p-29974.html

To my great joy, Born Pretty Store keeps making new stamping supplies without compromising high quality I am accustomed to. One of the more recent additions to their range is line of square image plates, one of which I am showing you today.

Matching Manicures - Inspired by Flag

Današnju inspiraciju nam pružaju zastave. Pošto sam od onih koji ne razumeju zašto bi iko želeo da nosi zastavu neke zemlje osim svoje, a ni za svoju nešto ne marim, odlučila sam se za fiktivnu zastavu. Zapravo, prvo su mi na pamet padale zastave nekih veoma stvarnih organizacija ili pokreta koje podržavam, ali sam na kraju ipak prelomila i uradila zastavu Galaktičke imperije iz sveta Ratova zvezda.

Today we are looking for inspiration among flags. Since I am one of those people who don't understand why anyone would wear any country's flag except their own, and I don't care that much for my own country's flag, I opted for a fictitious flag. Actually, I initially had some very real organisations' and causes' that I support flags in mind, but instead I chose to do Galactic Empire flag, from Star Wars universe.

Matching Manicures - Inspired by Fashion

Kako sam osoba koja ne prati modu, trendove i sl. ova tema mi je posebno teško pala. No, s druge strane, tema je takva da nismo ograničeni samo na savremene modne tendencije već se možemo inspirisati i modom prohujalih doba ili drugih naroda, civilizacija. Stoga sam se odlučila da inspiraciju potražim u dalekom Japanu, a tome je sasvim sigurno doprinela činjenica da je prošle nedelje održan Japanizam i da se preko puta mog štanda nalazio štand Tsubaki kimono.

Being someone who is not into fashion, trends and such, I found this theme to be a chore, which is why I am only publishing this article at the last moment. However, on the other hand, the theme is such that we are not limited to current fashion trends, but we can take our inspiration from fashion of times gone by, of different peoples or civilisations. That is why I looked for my inspiration far away, in Japan, and the fact that Japanizam had just ended and that Tsubaki kimono booth was right across mine had figured greatly in this decision.

Moyra Nail Art Stamping Plate 07 Labyrinth

Ne mogu da se otrgnem utisku da pečatiranje noktiju polako uzima zamah u Srbiji. Em mi se čini da se žene i devojke sve više interesuju, em se i uvoznici više okreću etabliranim proizvođačima. Moram priznati da do pre par meseci nisam znala da mađarski brend Moyra ima pločice za pečatiranje, a čim sam se zainteresovala ispostavilo se da ih je naš uvoznik, Nail Line, imao i na stanju. Ukoliko ste u Subotici možete po njih otići lično, a za nas ostale preostaje naručivanje sa sajta http://www.nailline.rs/. Cena pločica je 795 dinara, a poštarina je oko 250 dinara.

I can't escape the notion that there is more and more interest for nail stamping in Serbia. Not only are girls and women more interested in this form of nail art, but importers are turning to more established brands as well. I have to admit that up until several months ago I had no idea that Hungarian brand Moyra offered image plates as well, but as soon as I expressed interest in them, it turned out that our importer, Nail Line, has them in stock. If you are in Hungary, you can order them from the official website, and if you are elsewhere, http://www.nailland.hu/ ships internationally. Moyra stamping plates retail for 5.90 €.

Flormar 485 Wormwood

Dugo već među Flormar lakovima nisam videla nešto vredno pažnje, ali pre par meseci mi je par njih zapalo za oko. Ovaj je, sudeći po broju, iz novije postave, a moram reći da mi je drago što je Flormar konačno uz brojeve lakovima počeo da daje i čestita imena. Flormar lakovi se mogu naći u svakm DM-u na policama pored kase, kao i po manjim parfimerijama, a cena im je oko 140 dinara za 11 ml.

It has been quite some time since I've seen something of interest among Flormar polishes, however, several months ago a couple of them had caught my eye. Judging from the number, this one is one of the more recent ones and I have to say that I am very pleased that Flormar finally started to give them true names.

Hēhē 026

Ovo je poslednja od Hēhē pločica koje za sada imam za predstavljanje, ali je sigurno da nije poslednja Hēhē pločica koju ću isprobati jer mi se i dizajn i kvalitet izrade ove firme sviđaju.

This is the last Hēhē stamping plate I have to show you for now, but it is definitely not the last one I shall try as I like their design and quality.

Matching Manicures - Geometric

Prošli put kada smo radili geometrijski usklađeni manikir okrenula sam se Mondrijanu, a i ovog puta se držim osnovnih boja i geometrijske apstrakcije.

Last time we did geometric matching manicure I went with Mondriaan theme and this time I also kept to geometric abstraction and primary colours.

Burn Manicure

Naiđe mi tako neki period kada mi se ne mažu nokti, a onda mi dođe da uradim neki manikir bez ikakvog povoda. Tako sam nedavno bila veoma raspoložena da uradim vatreni manikir, verovatno zato što sam slušala pesmu Burn i to W.A.S.P. verziju.

It happens from time to time that I am in no mood to even paint my nails, but then I get into mood to do a mani without any special reason. That's how recently I felt like doing a fiery mani, probably because I was listening to W.A.S.P. rendition of Burn.

MoYou Nails N34

Kratki nokti nisu prepreka za zanimljivo pečatiranje, čak ni kada pečatiram motive za francuski manikir.

Short nails aren't an impediment for interesting stamping, not even when it comes to stamping French tips.

Pre nego što kalendar bude rekao da je počela jesen, volela bih da vam pokažem jednu pomorsku pločicu za pečatiranje - MoYou Nails 70.

Before autumn officially starts, I'd like to show you one nautical stamping plate - MoYou Nails 70.

MoYou Nails 232

Posle kratke pauze i razmišljanja kako da radim francuski manikir na ovako kratkim noktima, nastavljam predstavljanje MoYou Nails pločica upravo jednom koja ima motive za frenč.

After a short break and contemplating how to do French mani on my nubbins, I continue reviewing MoYou Nails image plates with one that has only French tips.

Aura Amazingly Resistant - utisci i poređenja

U velikom i hrabrom potezu, Aura je tri od četiri linije svojih postojećih lakova za nokte, kao i sve stare baze i nadlakove, povukla iz proizvodnje i zamenila ih novom kolekcijom. Sve ove nove proizvode sam vam ove nedelje pokazala, a danas sumiramo utiske i volela bih da čujem šta vi mislite na ovu temu. Slike pokazuju poređenja koja sam spominjala u samim člancima o lakovima.

In a big and brave move, Aura has discontinued three of four of their nail polish lines, as well as all older base and top coats and substituted them for new collection. I have shown you all these new products this week. Today we summarise impressions and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Photos are showing comparisons I have mentioned in articles on polishes.

MoYou Nails 74

MoYou Nails pločica koju vam danas predstavljam ima pomalo starinske motive pa mi se fino uklopila u raspoloženje koje me drži od steampunk manikira.

http://moyounails.com/shop/image-plate-74/

MoYou Nails image plate I am showing you today has a vintage-y feel so it fit perfectly with the mood I was in since steampunk manicure.
