Simples - kombinovanje

Poslednji segment koji smo pokrili tokom Simples manikira je kombinovanje tačkanja i drugih jednostavnih tehnika koje smo prošli. Tako smo tačkali preko saran wrap baze i kombinovali smo tačkanje i skittle manikir i tačkanje i gradijent. Većinu ovih manikira ste imali prilike da vidite u recenziji N.Nails tačkalica, ali ovde se neki detalji bolje vide.

Zoya Payton (baza), Essence Where's The Party (saran); Manhattan Liquid Metals 101z i Essence Where's The Party (tačkice)

The latest segment we have covered in Simples is combining dotting and other simple nail art techniques we have previously done. We have dotted over saran wrap base and we've combined dotting and skittle manicure and dotting and gradient. You have already seen most of these manicures in N.Nails dotting tools set review, but some details can be better seen here.

Simples - Back To Bases

Aura She Bunny 508, Essence That's What I Mint, Golden Rose Rich Color 48, Franken Erotikon

Završena je i treća celina Simples manikira - povratak osnovama. Ovu celinu su činile "brljotine", akvarel i gradijent. "Brljotine" se prave nasumičnim dodavanjem boja sunđerom. Akvarel tehnika podrazumeva razređivanje laka acetonom kako bi se dobio vodenast izgled. Gradijent verujem da ne treba predstavljati, mada ja treba da poradim na svojoj tehnici jer su mi linije suviše oštre. Detaljna uputstva možete naći na The Crumpet blogu.

Flormar 400, Golden Rose 262, Maybelline Dark Chocolate

We've finished part three of Simples manicures - back to bases. This part consisted of splodging, watercolour and gradient manicures. Splodging is done by randomly sponging dabs of colour onto nail. Watercolour requires diluting nail polish with acetone in order to get watercolour effect. I believe that gradient doesn't need introduction. I do, however, need to work on my technique as there is very harsh delineation between my chosen colours. You can find detailed instructions at The Crumpet.

Simples - Mixed Dots

Nisam imala prilike da objavljujem pojedinačne članke za protekla dva Simples manikira, ali pošto su sve vreme tema razne tačkice onda ću danas objediniti tri teme. Prvo smo imali mešane tačke, što sam odlučila da interpretiram kao tačke različitih veličina, mada je ideja bila da budu različitih veličina i na nepravilnim razmacima. U kombinaciji boja koju sam odabrala pravilni razmaci su mi delovali prihvatljivije. Koristila sam Golden Rose Matte 07 i OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby. Šta sam dalje tačkala možete videti u nastavku članka.

I was unable to do individual posts for previous two Simples manicures, but since we've been doing dots all the time I shall incorporate three themes in this post. First we had mixed dots, which I decided to take as dots of different sizes, although the idea was to do dots of different sizes, but irregularly placed. I felt that equidistantly placed dots worked better with my chosen colours. I have used Golden Rose Matte 07 and OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby. You can see what else I did after page break.

Pool Party Polka Dots

Danas u grupi Simples, posvećenoj jednostavnom dekorisanju noktiju, počinjemo četvoronedeljno ispitivanje sveta tačkica i tačkalica. Prva nedelja je, naravno, posvećena osnovnim, jednostavnim tufnama. Sticajem okolnosti, i na Ani je ovo aktuelna tema tako da je meni ovo duplo iskorišćen manikir. Moje tufne su nešto krupnije jer sam koristila najkrupniju tačkalicu koju imam. Za bazu sam upotrebila China Glaze Pool Party koji je bio kod mene na čuvanju, a za tačkanje sam koristila Flormar True Color 027. Nisam nanela nadlak jer mi se svidela tekstura tufnica. Za više informacija o tačkanju i tačkalicama možete nam se pridružiti u grupi (nije potrebno da imate blog) ili možete baciti pogled na sledeće linkove:

Today us in Simples - Nail Art From Muggle To Mastery group embark on four weeks long exploration of dotting tools and dotticures. This first week is, naturally, dedicated to basic dotticure. As it happens, the theme for this Friday at Ana.rs was dots, so to me this is twice used manicure. My dots are on the larger side because I have used the largest dotting tool I have. I have used China Glaze Pool Party that was left to me for safekeeping as base colour and Flormar True Color 027 for dots. I didn't use top coat because I liked the texture. You can find more info about dotting tools and dotting in general at following articles:

Simples - Week 4 - Saran wrap mani

Ove nedelje je tema Simples manikira manikir rađen uz pomoć celofana. Jednom sam radila ovakav manikir za Matching Manicure i nije mi se dopao, a i ovog puta mi je utisak isti. Koristila sam Nella Milano lakove u nijansama Mango i Turquoise, koje sam dobila sa MoYou Nails sajta. Uskoro ćete videti i recenzije ovih lakova. Nadlak koji sam koristila im je malo promenio boju na slikama.

This week's Simples theme is saran wrap mani. I have done this sort of manicure once for Matching Manicure and I didn't like the technique and my opinion hasn't changed. I have used Nella Milano polishes in Mango and Turquoise, sent to me for review by MoYou Nails. You will see reviews soon. Top coat I have used has changed their shades in photos.

Simples - Week 3 - Ombre

Ombre manikir sam radila u nekoliko navrata ranije i svaki put sam se mučila da nađem dovoljno lakova, ali za ovu priliku sam iskoristila lakoholičarsko okupljanje. Nisam želela da uradim roze neonski ombre manikir (mada sam mogla) i nisam mogla samo od China Glaze lakova da napravim zeleni ombre, ali nisam nezadovoljna ni ovim što sam uradila. Koristila sam od palca ka kažiprstu: OPI Jade Is The New Black, China Glaze Four Leaf Clover, China Glaze Highlight Of My Summer, China Glaze Grass Is Lime Greener, China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.

I have done ombre manicure several times before and it's been difficult for me to find enough polishes every time, but this time I took the opportunity to try some polishes at polishaholics meeting. I didn't want to do a neon pink ombre (although I could have done I) and I couldn't do it only with China Glaze polishes, but I am not displeased with what I came up with. I have used fro thumb to pinkie: OPI Jade Is The New Black, China Glaze Four Leaf Clover, China Glaze Highlight Of My Summer, China Glaze Grass Is Lime Greener, China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.

Simples - Week 2 - Skittle

Posle uspešne prve Simples - nail art from muggle to mastery nedelje danas prelazimo na drugu temu - skittle manikir. Pošto volim da dam malo smisla svom ludilu odlučila sam da uradim holo skittle i to isključivo sa China Glaze Hologlam lakovima. Nosim od palca ka malom prstu: Galactic Gray, OMG A UFO, Strap On Your Moonboots, When Stars Collide i Cosmic Dust.

After successful first Simples - nail art from muggle to mastery week we press on to the second task - skittle manicure. Since I like my madness to have some method to it, I have decided to do a holo skittle using only China Glaze Hologlam polishes. I wear from thumb to pinkie: Galactic Gray, OMG A UFO, Strap On Your Moonboots, When Stars Collide and Cosmic Dust.

Simples - Week 1 - The Accent Nail

Prvo i osnovno, trudim se da blog držim oslobođenim od dešavanja u stvarnom svetu, od privatnog života i sličnog, no danas to ne mogu da učinim kada su hiljade naših sunarodnika u nevolji. Stoga vas molim da učinite šta možete i koliko možete da pomognete ugroženim mestima i ljudima. Nije važno da li će to biti novčana donacija ili ćete odneti hranu, odeću, osnovne potrepštine do najbližeg centra za prikupljanje pomoći ili ćete pomoći na neki drugi način. Ja sam peusmerila sve prihode od prodatog nakita iz Cajkinog kovčežića u humanitarne svrhe tako da možete da iskoristite priliku da se ukrasite i istovremeno pomognete ugroženima.



Normally I keep this blog free from happenings in real world, my private life and such, but today I can't sit idly by when so many of my fellow countrymen are in danger. Serbia is faced with severe floods due to heavy rain we've been having for days now (to call it deluge wouldn't be an overstatement). Please, do whatever you can to help. You can find the official bank account number and instructions for donations that will be used for flood relief here. You can also donate to Serbian Red Cross via any of the bank accounts listed here. Every little bit counts. Thank you.
