Nfu.Oh 60

Nfu.Oh je godinala imao u ponudi najrazličitije, a potpuno fantastične lakove sa ljuspicama, sve spakovano u prekrasne bočicama u obliku haljine sa korsetom. Nažalost, pre nekoliko godina su prestali da proizvode ove lakove, ali se pojedini još uvek mogu naći na Ebay ili Amazonu ili po drugim online prodavnicama. Ovo je poslednji koji sam uzela, a kao utehu što sam propustila da uzmem #51.

For years, Nfu.Oh had a wide range of fantastic polishes with flecks, all packaged in gorgeous corseted dress bottles. Sadly, several years ago they stopped making them, but you can still find some shades on Ebay, Amazon or some other online stores. This is the last one I got, and I bought it as a consolation after I had missed #51.

Nfu.Oh 61 revisited

Poslednjih nekoliko meseci u fokusu manikir-sveta su razni hrom, multihrom i holo prahovi, koji su me podsetili na najupečatljiviji srebrni holo lak koji imam - Nfu.Oh 61. Ovaj lak je već imao predstavljanje na blogu, ali mislim da je zaslužio nov članak, sa boljim slikama i negovanijim noktima. :) Nfu.Oh je korejska firma specijalizovana za lakove i dekoracije za nokte, ali sada su se preorijentisali na proizvode za nadogradnju i ove lakove više ne proizvode.

During the last several months, manicure world has been focused on various chrome, multichrome and holo powders, which reminded me of the most stunning holo polish I own - Nfu.Oh 61. I have already written about this polish, but I think that it deserves a new article, with better photos and nicer nails. Nfu.Oh is a Korean company that used to make nail polish and nail art supplies, but have turned to artificial nails supplies and no longer make these polishes.

Born Pretty BP-11

Ova mi je pločica stajala mesecima, ako ne i punu godinu, čekajući na predstavljanje. Koncentrični geometrijski motivi su mi bili komplikovani za precizno pozicioniranje i tek mi je prozirni pečat omogućio da pločicu dostojno upotrebim.

I've had this image plate for months if not for over a year and it has been waiting for a post about it ever since. I found concentric geometric shapes difficult to place precisely where I wanted and only clear stamper enabled me to use this stamping plate properly.

Matching Manicures - Rainbow

Danas na noktima nosimo dugu. Mojoj malenkosti se nisu izvlačili silni lakovi za pravu dugu već sam se odlučila za lak koji sadrži dugu u sebi.

Today we are wearing rainbows on our nails. Yours truly wasn't in the mood for pulling out many polishes to get true rainbow, but I chose a single polish which shows entire rainbow.

Matching Manicures - Crveno

Sa novom godinom krećemo u nove usklađeno manikirske poduhvate. Za početak inspiraciju tražimo u bojama, a prva na redu je moja omiljena boja za zimu. Većina mojih džempera je crvena, kao i kape, a crveni karmin i rumenilo češće nosim zimi nego leti. Samo još da nađem dobar crveni kaput.

With new year we embark on new matched manicures. For start we are looking for inspiration among colurs and the first one is my favourite colour for winter. Most of my sweaters are red as are my winter caps and I tend to wear red blusher and lipstick more often in winter than in summer. Now I only need to find a good red winter coat.

Matching Manicures - Pinterest

Sa malim zakašnjenjem radim odgovor na ovonedeljnu temu za usklađeni manikir, a tema je inspiracija sa Pinteresta. Meni je ovo problematična tema jer retko na Pinterestu tražim nalazim inspiraciju uopšte, a ono što mi se svidi nije inicijalno sa Pinteresta već sa nekog bloga, sajta, Instagrama... Spominjanje Pinteresta umesto originalnog mesta poticanja meni predstavlja problem jer mislim da uskraćuje autore za prepoznavanje dela i klikove (ne stavljaju svi pineri tačno poreklo slika). Ja inspiraciju jesam našla na Pinterestu ovde, a originalno je odavde.

slika koja mi je poslužila kao inspiracija

I am doing this weeks matching manicure a bit late. The theme this time is "inspiration found on Pinterest". I find this theme a bit troublesome as I rarely look for find inspiration there in general and what I like is not from Pinterest as such, but from another blog, website, Instagram... Mentioning Pinterest instead of original place of origin does pose a problem to me as I find it deprives original authors of proper credit and clicks (not all pinners link to the source). I have found inspiration for this mani on Pinterest here and the original mani is from here.

Baze za nokte

Izgled i trajanje manikira zavise od više faktora, a jedan od važnijih je bazni lak. Njegova uloga je da poveže lak sa noktom, da zaštiti nokat od pigmenata iz laka i po potrebi da neguje nokat. Baza ima najrazličitijih, što je dobro jer se ne slaže svaka sa svakim tipom ili brendom laka. Takođe ne slaže se svaka baza sa svačijim noktima te nije loše isprobati više različitih baza dok ne nađete onu ili one koje vam odgovaraju. Obratite pažnju na njihov sastav jer će vam to pomoći da kasnije prepoznate baze koje vam manje ili više odgovaraju. Sve baze sadrže rastvarače, sastojke koji drže na okupu druge sastojke a potom isparavaju ostavljajući aktivne sastojke na noktu, zatim plastifikatore, čija je uloga da daju fleksibilnost i celulozne sastojke koji služe da povežu nokat i lak. Odnos količina ovih sastojaka i drugih dodataka čini svaku bazu posebnom.

Look and longevity of a manicure depend on several factors with base coat being one of more important ones. Its role is binding polish to the nail, protecting nail plate from pigments in polish and if needed to provide additional care. There are so many different base coats, which is great as not every base coat agrees with every type or brand of nail polish. Also different people have different nails and they require different base coats. It is good choice to try several different sorts of base coats in order to find the one(s) that work well for you. You should pay attention to the ingredients list so that you can recognize which ones might be good for you later. All base coats contain solvents, which keep other ingredients in solution and deliver them to the nail, then there are plasticizers, which give flexibility and cellulose chemicals to give connection between nail and polish. Ratio of these ingredients and additional components is what makes each base coat unique.

Nfu.Oh 46

Letos sam u momentu racionalnosti odlučila da ne kupim Layla Ceramic Effect 53 Killing Red, ali sam po povratku iz Italije zažalila zbog te odluke i iskoristila priliku da uz zelene Nfu.Oh ljuspice naručim i crvene ljuspice. Nisu iste kao Layla, ali su lepe.

Last summer I had a moment of rational thought so I decided not to buy Layla Ceramic Effect 53 Killing Red, but after I had returned from Italy I had regretted that decision. So I took the opportunity to order red flakies along with green Nfu.Oh flakies. These aren't the same as Layla, but they are just as pretty.

Nfu.Oh 39

Dosta dugo sam želela da nabavim zelene ljuspice, ali nekako su mi stalno izmicale. Onda sam imala ludu sreću da zahvaljujući MarryJ uspela da dođem do ovog laka. Ne znam zašto je Nfu.Oh odlučio da prestane da proizvodi svoju liniju lakova sa ljuspicama jer imali su zaista jedinstven izbor tih lakova. Većina lakova iz ove linije se više ne može nabaviti, ali neki se još mogu naći po različitim internet prodavnicama. Predlažem vam da iskoristite priliku i kupite one koji vam se dopadaju dok još možete.

I've wanted to get green flakies polish for quite some time, but they always happened to slip out of my grasp. I was fortunate enough to get this polish thanks to MarryJ. I don't know why Nfu.Oh decided to discontinue the entire flakies line of polishes since they had truly unique range of those polishes. Most of these polishes can no longer be bought, but some can still be found at different online stores. I suggest you take the opportunity and get those you like while you still can.

Ombre

Tema jučerašnjeg petka je bila ombre manikir. Vidim da iz nekog razloga mnogi mešaju ombre i gradijent. Jeanette Swatchaholic je divno objasnila tu razliku u ovom postu. Ja sam koristila redom od palca ka malom prstu: Color Club Revvvolution, China Glaze Galactic Gray, NailsIT Barnabas, China Glaze Cosmic Dust i Nfu.Oh 61.

The theme of yesterday's themed Friday was ombre mani. I have noticed many confuse ombre and gradient manicures. Jeanette Swatchaholic explained the difference wonderfully in this post. The polishes I used are from thumb to pinkie: Color Club Revvvolution, China Glaze Galactic Gray, NailsIT Barnabas, China Glaze Cosmic Dust and Nfu.Oh 61.

China Glaze Cosmic Dust

Nastavljam predstavljanje svog izbora lakova iz China Glaze Hologlam kolekcije lakom Cosmic Dust. Hologlam kolekcija, za proleće 2013. godine, sadrži 12 linearnih prizmatičnih lakova. Ova linija je skuplja od klasičnih China Glaze lakova, ali nije skuplja od drugih kolekcija sa srebrnim zatvaračima (Bohemian Luster Chrome, Glitz—Bitz ’N Pieces) i svaki lak košta 489 dinara. Na žalost nema ih u radnjama kod beogradskih distributera, ali možete ih naručiti preko njih ili direktno od uvoznika.

I continue showcasing my choice of China Glaze Hologlam polishes with Cosmic Dust. Hologlam collection for Spring 2013. contains 12 linear prismatic polishes. These polishes are more expensive than regular China Glaze polishes and in Serbia they cost the same as other collections with silver caps (Bohemian Luster Chrome, Glitz—Bitz ’N Pieces).

Nfu.Oh 61

Nfu.Oh 61 je divan srebrni linearni prizmatični lak koji sam imala sreću da osvojim na NailsIT giveawayu. Želela sam odmah da ga isprobam, ali nisam mogla jer nisam imala vodenu bazu, a Nfu.Oh prizmatični lakovi se ne mažu dobro preko običnih baza - ostaju ćelava mesta ili grumuljice. I neki drugi prizmatični lakovi (Fnug, Layla, Gosh) zahtevaju vodenu bazu, ali kako sam shvatila to ne mora biti baza istog proizvođača. Naišla sam i na komentare da ne mora da se koristi vodena baza, ali da je onda bolje da se ne koristi nikakva baza, ali posle ovog članka mislim da se radije ne bih igrala. Mnogo mi je bolje da koristim vodenu bazu i dva sloja laka nego da razmišljam da li će mi sam lak pokriti nokat iz tri sloja, posebno kada se radi o laku koji se u Srbiji ne može nabaviti.

Nfu.Oh 61 is a gorgeous silver linear prismatic polish that I was lucky enough to win on NailsIT giveaway. I wanted to try it immediately, but I couldn't because I didn't have any sort of aqua base coat, and Nfu.Oh prismatic polishes don't go well over regular base coats - they leave bald spots or get clumpy. Some other prismatic polishes (Fnug, Layla, Gosh) need aqua base coat too, but from what I could understand the base coat doesn't have to be from the same manufacturer. I've seen several comments that you don't have to use aqua base coat, but that in that case you shouldn't use any base coat at all, but after reading this article I didn't want to try my luck. I'd use aqua base coat and two coats of polish rather than use no base coat at all and wonder whether three coats of polish would suffice, especially when it comes to polishes that aren't available in Serbia.

Holo gradijent

Za gradijent petak sam želela da napravim nešto posebno, sa šljokicama u prahu, ali pucanje noktiju me je u tome omelo, tako da sam se bacila na holo lakove. Osnovna boja je Nfu.Oh 61, međuton NailsIT Barnabas, a najtamniji lak je Color Club Revvvolution. Nfu.Oh 61 ću predstaviti u zasebnoj poruci ovih dana.

I wanted to do something special for Gradient Friday, something with glequins and loose glitter, but nail breakage hindered my plan. I picked holo pilishes instead. The base colour is Nfu.Oh 61, medium one is NailsIT Barnabas, and the darkest one is Color Club Revvvolution. I'll do a special post on Nfu.Oh 61 one of these days.

Paučina - fail

Motiv paukove mreže mi je jedan od omiljenih, a ni u stvarnom životu mi paučina ne smeta. Zato sam na prošlom sajmu uzela pakovanje samolepljivih šablona za nokte sa motivom paučine. Ovakvih nalepnica ima u Alexandar cosmetics po ceni od 60 dinara za tablu sa 10 nalepnica, a određenih motiva ima i po kineskim radnjama i ja sam ih tamo plaćala 50 dinara. Ima ih i u inostranim online prodavnicama poput Born pretty store ili KKCenterHk.

Spider web motif is one of my favourites, and I don't mind cobwebs in real life either. That's why I picked a set of sticky nail art stencils with web design at previous cosmetics fair. These templates are in Serbia available at Alexandar cosmetics and Chinese stores and internationally at on-line shops such as Born pretty store or KKCenterHk. If you order from KKCenterHk you can get 10% discount if you use cajka coupon code and I'm sure you can find many coupon codes for Born pretty store.
