Paisley Nail Foil

Ne volim da pišem o neuspešnim manikir poduhvatima, ali smatram da je fer upozoriti na promašene proizvode te danas to i činim.

I am not keen on writing about manicure fails, but I think that it is only fair to warn you about failed products so today I am doing just that.

Matching Manicures - Lightning

Zbog sajma i drugih obaveza nisam mogla da posvetim mnogo vremena ovonedeljnom usklađenom manikiru. Kako sam već imala zamisao šta bih želela da uradim odlučila sam da ipak učestvujem iako rezultat nije baš zadovoljavajuć.

I couldn't take my time with this week's Matching Manicure because of the beauty expo and other duties. Since I have already had an idea of what I wanted to do for this theme I did make something for today even though I am not quite happy with the result.

Čipka bez čipke

Pre nekog vremena su mrežice i čipka postali popularni u manikirima, a onda je taj trend nestao kao da ga nikada nije ni bilo. Pretpostavljam zato što je čipka debela i teško je dobro je pričvrstiti na prirodan nokat i onda je i dobro obezbediti da se za nju ne zakačinje sve ono sa čime ste tokom dana u kontaktu. KKCenterHK ima rešenje - transfer foliju sa motivom čipke (NNAIL-E32). Ova folija je širine 4 cm, a dužina ne piše na sajtu. Ja sam je merila tek pošto sam isekla koliko mi treba za ovaj manikir i mogu samo da kažem da je dužina preko 110 cm. I za ovu foliju je potreban lepak za foliju, a ja koristim JR1004-B.

Some time ago lace and nets became the manicure trend, but it vanished as abruptly as it had appeared. I suppose because lace is thick and difficult to attach and secure on the nail and avoid getting caught on whatever you are handling during your day. KKCenterHK seems to have a solution - a transfer foil with black lace motif (NNAIL-E32). This foil is 4 cm wide, and the website doesn't show the length. I only measured it after I had already cut the pieces for my mani and I can only say it is more than 110 cm long. This foil needs special glue in order to be transferred and the one I use is JR1004-B.

Red Little Circle Hidden Nail Foil Transfer

Danas predstavljam drugu od dve folije za transfer koje su mi stigle sa sajta KKCenterHK. Ove folije dolaze u rolni od 150 cm, a širine su 4 cm. Možete odabrati da kupite samo foliju (ova je NNAIL-E11) ili foliju zajedno sa lepkom (JR1004-B). Videla sam da je u nekim recenzijama umesto lepka korišten običan nadlak, ali ja to nisam ni pokušala jer sa lepkom nisam imala (mnogo) problema.

Today I'm showing you the second of the two nail foils I got from KKCenterHK. These transfer foils come in 150 cm long, 4 cm wide rolls. You can buy the foil (this one is NNAIL-E11) and glue (JR1004-B) separately or together. I have seen some reviews where top coat was used instead of glue, but I haven't even tried that technique because I didn't have (much) trouble with the glue.

Silver Galaxy Nail Foil

Ovo je moj prvi susret sa folijama za transfer. Dobila sam dve sa sajta KKCenterHK i danas predstavljam prvu - srebrnu foliju sa holo zvezdama NNAIL-E21. Ove folije dolaze u rolni od 150 cm, a širine su 4 cm. Možete odabrati da kupite samo foliju ili foliju zajedno sa lepkom (JR1004-B). Videla sam da je u nekim recenzijama umesto lepka korišten običan nadlak, ali ja to nisam ni pokušala jer sa lepkom nisam imala (mnogo) problema.

This is my first experience with nail foils. I got two from KKCenterHK and today I present you the first one - silver one with holo stars NNAIL-E21. These transfer foils come in 150 cm long, 4 cm wide rolls. You can buy the foil and glue (JR1004-B) separately or together. I have seen some reviews where top coat was used instead of glue, but I haven't even tried that technique because I didn't have (much) trouble with the glue.

Pošto se uz samu foliju ne dobija uputstvo, ovaj video mi je bio veoma koristan. Prvo bih rekla nekoliko važnih stvari o lepku. Nigde ne piše sastav niti koja je količina u bočici - ni na bočici ni na sajtu ne postoje ovi podaci. Lepak je u bočici beo, ali kako se suši postaje bezbojan, kako je i prikazano u klipu. Lepak se nanosi četkicom poput one za lak. Moja četkica je bila veoma kruta i više je podsećala na čačkalicu. Isprala sam je pod mlazom mlake vode i time je omekšala (mislim da je bila stvrdnuta od skorelog lepka). Ukoliko je vaša četkica tvrda, možete pokušati da je operete.

The foil itself doesn't come with instructions and the video above was very useful to me. First I'd like to say several things about the glue. Ingredients and the amount of product are nowhere to be found - neither on the bottle nor on the website. The glue is white in the bottle, but it dries clear, as shown in the video. It is applied with a brush similar to regular nail polish brushes. Mine was stiff and more like a toothpick. I washed it in lukewarm water and it softened (I think it was stiff because of dried glue). If your brush is too hard, you may try to wash it.

Lepak se nanosi lako, mada sam morala nekoliko puta da pređem preko noktiju jer se ponegde lepak povukao. Moguće je da je to zbog vode koja je ostala na četkici. Prilično brzo je postao bezbojan i veoma lepljiv. Foliju sam unapred isekla na komadiće koji bi odgovarali širini mojih noktiju. Ne znam koliko se brzo lepak suši tako da sam brzo stavljala isečene komade folije i videla sam odmah po ivicama da se slika prenela sa folije na nokat. Pošto nokti nisu ravni nisam mogla da dobijem savršen transfer (folija se ponegde nagužvala), ali sam rezutatom veoma zadovoljna.

The glues goes on nicely, but I had to go several times over some spots because there was some glue dragging, maybe due to the water that was left on my brush. The glue turned clear rather fast and quite sticky. I cut the foil to pieces that would match my nails in advance. I didn't know how fast the glue dries so I had worked quickly and placed the precut foil pieces on my nails and watched as the image separated from the foil around the edges of my nails. Since the nails aren't flat I couldn't get the perfect transfer (the foil wrinkled), but I am very pleased with the end result.<
