Colores de Carol Wild Avocado

Hajde da iskoristim ovo lepo sunčano vreme da nosim i uslikam neki holić. Nov holić. I taman da testiram novu bazu. I da teram inat jesenjim/Haloween manikirima. Multitasking. 😎 Ovo je jedan od lakova koje sam pre mesečak dana uzela preko Lakodoma, koji od sada posluje samo po sistemu pretprodaje, tako da pratite njihove najave kako biste bili u toku sa novim nabavkama.

After a week of true autumnal weather, we got several days of sun. Why not take that opportunity to wear and photograph a holo polish. A new holo polish. And give a new base coat a try. And to go against all the autumnal/Halloween manis. Multitasking. 😎 This is one of the polishes I bouth a month ago from Lakodom, which is now only working as a preorders site, so subscribe to their newsletter to be informed of upcoming preorders.

Dance Legend Big Bang

Još jedan lak koji dugo čeka da ga isprobam je Dance Legend Big Bang. Uzela sam ga za rođendan 2015. godine sa Hypnotic Polish sajta, koji više nažalost ne dostavlja za Srbiju. Cela Galaxy kolekcija se još uvek proizvodi i može se nabaviti preko zvaničnog Dance Legend sajta.

Another polish that has been waiting for a long time to be worn is Dance Legend Big Bang. I got it for birthday in 2015. from Hypnotic Polish. The entire Galaxy collection is still manufacuted and can be ordered from the official Dance Legend website.

Essence Effect Nail Polish 22 I Love Magic

Kako sakriti mehuriće u laku za nokte? Šljokicama, naravno. Essence Effect Nail Polish 22 I Love Magic je još jedan od mnogih lakova za koje nisam sigurna zašto sam ih kupila. Do tog momenta sam već ustanovila da nisam neki ljubitelj šljokica, a ni rasutog holo efekta. No kupila sam ga, namazala na štapić, ustanovila da je pregust za moj ukus i zaboravila na njega. Sada sam ga konačno namazala kako bih ga makar slikala i sakrila mehuriće na Noir Noir.

How to hide bubbling in nail polish? Cover it with glitter. Essence Effect Nail Polish 22 I Love Magic is one of the many polishes I am not sure why I bought. By the time I got it, I already determined that I was not a big fan of glitter polishes or scattered holo effect. However, I bought it, painted it on a swatch stick, determined it was too thick for my liking and I forgot about it. I finally used it to at least get some photos and cover the bubbles in Noir Noir.

A England Proserpine

Muka me uhvati kada pomislim da je neisprobani deo moje kolekcije lakova veći od većine celih kolekcija lakova normalnih ljudi. Polako, ali sigurno prolazim kroz sve neisprobance i danas je na redu poslednji A England koji još uvek nisam nosila, iako ga imam 5 godina.

I get sick to my stomach when I think that there are more polishes in my untrieds than in most normal people's full collections. However, I am going through them one at a time and today I get to show you the last A England polish that has remained unworn for 5 years.

Colores de Carol The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight

Konačno mi je stigla dugo očekivana porudžbina sa Lakodom sajta. U pretprodaji sam uzela svoje prve Colores de Carol lakove i naravno da sam odmah morala da probam neki od njih (i u najboljim danima je bila retkost da blogujem o laku onog dana kada sam ga namazala, ali ovo je jedan od tih izuzetaka). Već godinama sam u potrazi za dobrim jarkim narandžastim holo lakom. Kada sam videla slike The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight pomislila sam da je potraga gotova. Da li je zaista tako?

My long awaited preorder from Lakodom finally arrived this week. I have gotten my first Colores de Carol polishes and I had to try one of them ASAP (even in my best days I seldom blogged about a polish on the day I used it, but this is one of those exceptions). I have been looking for a good bright orange holo polish. When I saw Colores de Carol The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight in photos, I thought my search was over. But was it?

Golden Rose Holographic 07

Od svih holo lakova koje imam, najređe nosim srebrne/sive. Zašto sam onda uzela dva siva Golden Rose holo laka koji deluju kao djupovi za neke koje već imam u kolekciji? Zato što sam veverica, a ponekada i zmaj. Veverica kupuje da bi imala, ne nužno da bi koristila, a zmaja privlače svetlucave stvari. Dodajmo na to činjenicu da su GR lakovi veoma pristupačni i eto savršenog recepta za impulsivnu kupovinu. Na svu sreću (ili nesreću), nijedan od ova dva laka ne može više da se nađe, ali druge boje su još uvek dostupne.

Out of all holo polishes I have, I wear silver/grey ones the least. Why then did I buy two such Golden Rose polishes that look like dupes for some of the ones I alrady have in my collection? Acquisition disorder. I am a squirrel and sometimes a dragon. Squirrel buys things to own them, not necesarrily to use them, and dragon is drawn to shiny things. Add to that the fact that Golden Rose polishes are quite inexpensive and you have a perfect recipe for an impulsive purchase. Fortunately (or not), neither of the two polishes is available anymore, but in Serbia you can still find some of the other colours.

ILNP Riot

ILNP je veoma brzo i lako postao moj omiljeni boutique proizvođač lakova za nokte, a nije tajna da su mi zeleni lakovi omiljeni. Zato nije iznenađenje što sam spontano kupila ILNP Riot kada sam pre nekog vremena poručivala neke druge lakove. Ta je porudžbina bila sa sajta Lakodom, koji se na žalost zatvara, ali sam ILNP i dalje proizvodi ovaj lak i dostavlja za Srbiju.

ILNP quickly and easily became my favourite boutique nail polish brand, and it is no secret that green polishes are my favourite. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I threw in ILNP Riot in one of my recent nail polish orders. That order was from Lakodom, who are sadly closing their store, but ILNP is still making this polish and have their own online store and offer international delivery.

OPI DS Original

Pre par godina me je za rođendan Jeca iznenadila lakom koji nikada nisam očekivala da ću posedovati - OPI DS Original iz 2008. godine. Mada su u međuvremenu izašli mnogo kvalitetniji holo lakovi, ovaj vredi spomenuti jer bih rekla da je bio ispred svog vremena. I ispred onoga što OPI danas radi.

A couple of years ago, Jeca surprised me with a polish I never expected to own - OPI DS Original, from 2008. While much better holo polishes have been made since, this one deserves a mention because it was ahead of its time. And ahead of what OPI is doing today.

ILNP Eclipse (H)

Pošto sam bila toliko impresionirana crno-crvenim multihrom lakovima, odmah sam uzela dva takva ILNP laka - običan Eclipse i Eclipse (H). Ne mogu garantovati da neću uzeti još koji na ovaj fazon. ILNP shop dostavlja za Srbiju, ali poštarina je visoka (meni je za 4 laka ispala skoro $30). Za slučaj da vas zanima, paket sa 4 laka je mali i prošao je bez otvaranja i dodatnih troškova. Lakovi imaju 12 ml.

Since I was so impressed with black to red multichrome polishes, I had to get two such ILNP polishes - a regular Eclipse and Eclipse (H). I can't promise I won't get several more. I ordered from ILNP web shop. They do ship to Serbia, but shipping is rather high (it was almonst $30 for 4 polishes). Polishes come in 12 ml bottles.

Dance Legend Top Prismatic

Pre nekoliko godina, kada je Dance Legend ponudio nadlak koji od bilo kog laka može napraviti holo lak, silno sam čeznula za njim. Potom kada sam napokon uspela da ga nabavim, nisam ga koristila. Donekle zato što sam u međuvremenu nabavila dovoljno holo lakova (da li to postoji?), donekle zato što sam bila malo razočarana efektom ovog nadlaka.

Several years ago, when Dance Legend made a top coat that would turn any nail polish into a holo, I wanted to have it really bad. Then, after I finally got my hands on one, I didn't use it. In part because I acquired enough holo polishes (is there such a thing?), and in part because I was somewhat disappointed with the effect of this topper.

Trend It Up Prisma Tip 030

Naravno da nemam ništa novo da vam pokažem. Mislim, ovo jeste novo na blogu, ali lak je po običaju star. Čini mi se da je ovaj iz 2017. godine i naravno da ga više nema u ponudi, ali ne žalite ako ga niste uhvatili jer... pa... videćete.

Of course I don't have anything new to show you. I mean, this is new to the blog, but the polish is old, as usual. I think this one is from 2017. and long discontinued, but don't regret if you have missed it because... well... you'll see.

Skittle Manis

Prošlog petka smo za temu imali skittle manikir. Ovo je nešto što volim da radim i imala sam odličnu ideju te sam odmah izvukla svoje China Glaze holo lakove i krenula da ih mažem. Onda sam se setila da sam istu sjajnu ideju imala i pre nekoliko godina te sam izvukla druge lakove i mogu reći da sam ovom drugom verzijom daleko zadovoljnija. Sigurna sam da i sami možete videti zašto.

Last week's thematic mani theme was skittle mani. This is something I like to do and I had a great idea so I took my China Glaze holo polishes out and started painting my nails. Then I remembered I had that same idea years ago so I picked other polishes and I had to say I am far happier with this other version. I am sure you can see why.

Literary Lacquers More Like Fire Than Light

Još davnijih dana sam kupovala indie lakove na blogorasprodajama i tada sam uzela pet Literary Lacquers lakova. Otkad sam videla Darling Diva Slutty Pumpkin, želela sam da posedujem narandžasti holo lak te mi je ovo bila prilika da nabavim neki.

In the even older days I used to buy indie nail polishes thrugh blog sales and that is how I managed to get five Literary Lacquers polishes. Ever since I first saw Darling Diva Slutty Pumpkin I wanted to own an orange holo polish so that was an oportunity to grab one.

A England Tristam Revisited

Plavi lakovi su nam trenutna tema za usklađene manikire na Ani. Plavo nije moja boja, ali volim teget i odmah sam suzila izbor na dva laka - omiljeni mi China Glaze Strap on your Moonboots ili A England Tristam, koji nisam prošlog puta mogla lepo da uhvatim jer nije bilo sunca. Zato danas dobija čestite slike.

Our current theme for manicures is blue polishes. Blue is not my colour, but I do like navy blues and I immediately got my selection down to two polishes - a favourite of mine China Glaze Strap on your Moonboots or A England Tristam, which I couldn't capture well because there was no sun. That is why today it is finally getting some decent photos.

ILNP Reminisce H

Od svih boutique brendova, ILNP mi je omiljen. Sećam se kada su izbacili kolekciju Ultra Chrome™ lakova, a potom i unapređene verzije sa holo česticama. Obe kolekcije su bile toliko uspešne da su ovi lakovi i dalje u ponudi i mogu se nabaviti direktno sa proizvođačevog sajta ili kod bilo kog od mnogih distributera.

Our of all the boutique nail polish brands, ILNP is my favourite. I remember when they first launched their Ultra Chrome™ collection, and then holo versions of those polishes. Both collections were so successfull that those polishes are still available on their website and from any of their distributors.

Trend It Up Prisma Tip 040

Već neko vreme se u određenim DM drogerijama kod nas u ponudi nalazi i DMova robna marka Trend It Up. Prijatno sam se iznenadila kada sam videla da u ponudi imaju široku ponudu preparata i lakova za nokte, a još više sam se iznenadila da imaju i holo lakove u sklopu Prisma Tip kolekcije. Od zimus dostupni po ceni od 320 dinara, sada se mogu naći u korpicama na sniženju za svega 199 dinara.

For some time now we have Trend It Up brand in some of DM drugstores in Serbia. I have to say that I have been very pleasantly surprised by their range of nail care and colour products, and even more so when I learned they have holo polishes in their Prisma Tip collection.

A England Briarwood

A England nije među mojim omiljenim boutique brendovima, jer mislim da se drže veoma sigurnih boja i suptilnih efekata, sa ponekim časnim izuzetkom. To znači da povremeno pokleknem i uzmem neki od njih, a ponekada mi je veoma teško da odolim samoj temi koju Adina odabere bez obzira na boje u toj kolekciji. Ona inspiraciju vuče iz raznih oblasti umetnosti (književnost, slikarstvo, ples), ali i iz istorije. Burne-Jones Dream, kolekcija iz koje je ovaj lak, inspirisana je serijom slika Legenda o Trnovoj Ružici, a ovaj lak je inspirisan slikom koja prikazuje usnule vojnike prekrivene ružinim trnovitim granama.
A England se može nabaviti preko Hypnotic Polish i preko Nail Land. Cena na oba mesta im je €10.5 za 11 ml laka.

A England is not among my favourite boutique brands because I find their colours and effects too safe and subtle for me, with several honourable exceptions. That means that sometimes even I succumb and get a polish or two, although sometimes I find it difficult to resist the theme, despite colours in that collection. Adina draws inspiration from various lines of art (literature, painting, dance), but history as well. Burne-Jones Dream, collection this polish comes from, is inspired by Edward Burne-Jones' series of paintings The Legend of Briar Rose, with this polish representing the image of sleeping soldiers covered by briar rose thorns.
I got this polish from Hypnotic Polish, but you can also order it from Nail Land and many other etailers.

Galaxy 16 Dreaming of Holo

O, zdravo. Kako ste? Svraćate li još uvek? Neću se pravdati za tišinu i nekativnost - svi znamo da se život dešava, a to ni mene nije mimoišlo, ali me je ovo lepo vreme motivisalo da konačno posle više meseci uslikam nokte i napišem vam koju reč o ovoj divoti.

Oh, hi there. How are you all? Are you visiting here still? I will not offer excuses for my silence and absence - we all know that life happens, and I was no exception, but we've been having really nice weather these days so I was motivated, after several months, to take photos of my nails and write a word or two about this gorgeousness.

ILNP Nostalgia (H)

Skoro je jesen, a ja još uvek nisam pokazala lak koji sam nosila krajem proleća, na Japanizmu. Nostalgia je jedan od mnogih lakova koje sam prošle godine nabavila preko blogorasprodaje. ILNP lakove inače možete nabaviti preko Hypnotic Polish i NailLand. Bočica je od 12 ml i košta €12,3 na Hypnotic Polish, a na NailLand-u trenutno ovog laka nema u ponudi.

It is nearly autumn and I still haven't written about a polish that I wore for this year's Japanizam. ILNP Nostalgia is one of many polishes I got through a blog sale. You can get ILNP polishes through many etailers, and I can recommend Hypnotic Polish and NailLand. It comes in 12 ml bottle and retails for €12.3 on Hypnotic Polish, and is currently unavailable on NailLand.

Harunouta L020

Kašmirska šara mi je među omiljenim dezenima, što zbog jasno prepoznatljivog oblika samog po sebi, što zbog raznolikosti detalja u sklopu te šare. Jedna od boljih pločica za pečatiranje upravo ovog motiva je Harunouta L020, koja na Nur Besten sajtu trenutno košta 2,99 € umesto 5,39 €.

37413

Paisley is among my favourite patterns, partly because clearly recognisable motif itself, partly because of the variety found among individual designs. One of better paisley stamping plates is Harunouta L020, which currently retails for €2.99 instead of €5.39 at Nur Besten website.
