Classics Metallic #09

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:26:00 +0000

Danas za vas imam jedno, što se mene tiče, prijatno iznenađenje, dragulj iz Metallic kolekcije turske kompanije Classics, lak koji ni približno ne deluje privlačno u bočici koliko je, zapravo, lep na noktima.

Today I have for you a pleasant surprise, a gem of Metallic collection by turkish company Classics, the varnish that doesn`t look nearly as attractive in a bottle how much was actually nice on my nails.

Pre svega, u bočici se ne vidi taj specifičan ledeno-plavi odsjaj koji poseduje, što ga čini idealnim zimskim lakom. Prva asocijacija nakon pogleda na nokte mi je bio led. Sjaj je upadljiv, a mikro šljokice svetlucaju i nakon malog pokreta ruke.

Prvi sloj nije dovoljan za punu pokrivenost, jer se dosta nazire nokat, posebno smajli linija. Drugi sloj to uspešno rešava. Četkica je solidna i dobro raspoređuje lak.

Nisu se javljale nikakve nepravilnosti tokom nanošenja, a slojevi su vrlo tanki i suše se brzo. Prijatno sam iznenađena kvalitetom ovog laka, i rado ću testirati još neke Classics lakove.

Classics Metallic lakovi sadrže 10.5 ml i klasičnu četkicu. Možete ih kupiti u svim većim parfimerijama u vašem gradu.

First of all, in the vial can not see the specific ice-blue glow that owns, which makes it an ideal winter varnish. The first association after looking at my nails was ice. Shine is obvious, a micro sequins sparkle and after a small movement of the hand.

The first layer is not sufficient for full coverage, because a lot of nail looming, particularly smiley line. The second layer to successfully resolve. The brush is a solid and well-distributed lacquer.

They are no irregularities occurred during application, and the layers are very thin and dry quickly. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the varnish, and I'll be happy to test some Classics varnishes.

Sally Hansen Ion

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:25:00 +0000

Još jedan Sally Hansen lak koji sam kupila na sajtu Moje krpice.rs je jedan vrlo privlačan bežkasto-sivi neutralac. Iako sam očekivala da na noktima izgleda kao boja slonove kosti, ipak me nije razočarao.

Another Sally Hansen nail polish that I bought from the website Moje krpice is very attractive beige-gray nautral. Although I imagine that on my nails it looks like ivory color, he didn`t disappointed me.

Iako sam očekivala da će Ion (u prevodu: Jon) imati žuti podton, ispostavilo se da ima sivi, pa se samim tim boja prelama između bež i svetlo sive. Kako god, mnogo mi se dopao, pa preti da porazi Essie Sand Tropez, jednog od bež miljenika.

Jedina mana je što ostavlja neispunjena mesta, jer četkica povlači lak, ali nije preterano gust tako da se svakako lepo nanosi. Prvi sloj ne pokriva dobro, i na nekim mestima se i dalje nazire nokat. Suši se zaista brzo jer se slojevi, zbog široke četkice, tanko nanose. Formula je kremasta.
Na fotografijama imam dva sloja laka bez nadlaka.
Sally Hansen lakovi poseduju 14.7 ml, i dostupni su u svim Sephora parfimerijama po ceni od oko 1000 rsd.

Although I expected that Ion had a yellow undertone, it turns out that he had gray, and therefore reflects colors from beige to light gray. Anyway, I liked him a lot, and threatens to defeat Essie Sand Tropez, one of my favorites beige polishes.

The only drawback is that it leaves unfilled places, because the brush pulls polish on some places, but it`s not too thick so the application is definitely good. The first layer don`t cover well, and in some places is still transparent. It dries really quickly because the layers are thin, due to the flat brush.. The formula is creamy.
On the photographs I have two coats of polish without top coat.
Sally Hansen nail polishes possess 14.7 ml, and they are available here in Serbia in all Sephora perfumeries and cost around 1000 serbian dinars.

Aura Professional #61 Scale Cocktail

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:25:00 +0000

U avgustu prošle godine dobila sam na poklon lak koji mi od tada stoji neisproban, pa sam rešila da sa njim prizovem malo toplije dane. Ako ništa, unela sam malo nebo plave boje među ove sive oblake.

In August last year I received as a gift a nail polish which stands untried since then, so I decided to go with it and recall a little warmer days. If anything, though I put a little bit of blue sky color among the gray clouds.

Kao što verovatno već znate, Aura Professional lakovi su srpskog porekla. Prvo testiranje ovih lakova je kod mene prošlo neslavno (klik!), te ih od tada nisam kupovala.
Ovaj put, jedina mana je tanka i sitna četkica, pa je aplikacija za nijansu otežana. Gust je i nije preterano pigmentovan, mnogo bolje izgleda nakon drugog sloja. Inače je jednoslojac i treba ga pažljivo nanositi jer četkica ume u par navrata da povuče lak. Suši se za nijansu duže, pa bi trebalo napraviti pauzu od 10-ak minuta između dva sloja.

Što se tiče same nijanse, smatram da je već viđena, ali i dalje interesantna. Već ste imali priliku da vidite dve slične nijanse na blogu, Kiko Light Misty Green (klik!) i Sephora Blah blah blah! (klik!). Ovog puta je svetlo plava po malo prigušena, ali i dalje privlačna. Formula je više kremasta, iako je zapravo miks gela i kreme.
Na fotografijama dva sloja laka bez nadlaka.
Aura Professional lakovi sadrže 5 ml i koštaju oko 230 rsd.

Aura Professional is serbian brand. The first test of these polishes was passed infamously on my blog (click!), and since then I have not purchased any of them.
This time, the only drawback is thin and small brush, so the application is a bit more difficult. It is a thick and not too pigmented, looks much better after the second layer. Otherwise, it is "one coat-er" and you should apply it carefully because the brush pulls polish on the several occasions. It dries a bit longer, so you should make a break of 10 minutes between the two layers.
I think this shade is already seen milion times before, but but it`s still interesting though. You already have had the opportunity to see two similar shades on my blog, Kiko Light Misty Green (click!) and Sephora Blah blah blah! (click!). This time, the blue polish is a little bit subdued, but still attractive. The formula is more creamy, although it`s a mix of gelly and cream.
On the photographs are two layers of polish without top coat.

Golden Rose Color Expert #68

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:25:00 +0000

Golden Rose sve više iznenađuje, kvalitet lakova je čista desetka, a to se odnosi i na sve lakove iz Color Expert kolekcije koje sam do sada probala. Danas vam predstavljam #68.

Golden Rose is surprising me more and more, the quality of their nail polishes is pure A, and that is the case with all Color Expert collection nail polishes which I had a chanse to try out.

Ovo je jedna tamna (petrolej) zelena koju sam dugo tražila, a onda sam u lokalnoj parfimeriji ugledala ovaj lak i bez razmišljanja ga kupila. Davno sam ga kupila, a imali ste priliku da ga vidite u ovom gradijent tutorijalu (klik!). Ne znam da li je lepši u gradijentu ili samostalno.

Jako je pigmentovan i gust, a pokriva potpuno u jednom sloju. Formula je čista krema sa završnicom srednjeg sjaja. Četkica je široka i lepo raspoređuje lak. Imate moje iskrene preporuke.

Fotografije su dva sloja laka bez nadlaka.

Golden Rose Color Expert lakovi poseduju 10.2 ml i široku pljosnatu četkicu, a možete ih kupiti po ceni od samo 120 rsd.

This is a dark (petroleum) green nail polish which I have been searching for a long time, and then I saw in the local perfumery this nail polish and bought it without thinking. A long time ago I bought it, and you had the chance to see it in this gradient video tutorial (click!).

It is very pigmented and thick, and covered entirely nail in a single layer. The formula is pure cream with medium gloss finish. The brush is wide and well distributes varnish. You have my sincere recommendations.
Photos are two layers of varnish without top coat.

Classics Premium #38

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:35:00 +0000

U paketu turskih lakova Classics - koje sam dobila od distributera u oktobru prošle godine - stigao je i jedan šljiva ljubičasti lak, koji je na prvi pogled postao moj miljenik.

I the PR package of turkish nail polishes Classics - which I received in October this year - arrived one plum purple nail polish, which became my favorite one at first sight.

Premium je, koliko sam upućena, novija kolekcija u okviru Classics lakova. Ovo su moji prvi Classics lakovi; samim tim, nisam imala ranija iskustva u vezi sa njima, tako da sam se radovala unapred njihovom testiranju. Drago mi je što je prvi utisak potpuno pozitivan.

Ovaj lak je izuzetnog kvaliteta, a s obzirom da sadrži čak 16 ml može vam trajati zaista dugo. Formila je interesantna, između gela i kreme, čiji miks čini i završnicu. Ukoliko želite pravu šljiva ljubičastu boju na noktima, sigurno želite da imate ovaj lak. Divno se nanosi i vrlo je dugotrajan.

Na fotografijama imam dva sloja laka bez nadlaka.

Premium is, as I know, recent collections within the Classics nail varnishes. These are my first Classics varnishes therefore I had no previous experience in relation to them, so I was looking forward to their testing. I am glad that the first impression is entirely positive.
This varnish is of exceptional quality, and considering that contains up to 16 ml can last really long. Formula is interesting, between gel and creamy, which makes the finish mix. If you want a real plum purple color on your nails, you certainly want to have this polish. It is wonderful during application and it`s long lasting.
On the photographs I have two coats of varnish without top coat.

Sephora L79 5th Avenue

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:35:00 +0000

Čini mi se kao da je prošla večnost od kad sam poslednji put nosila sivi lak. Jutjuberka Sonja (Sonia Caine) (klik!) me je u jednom od videa podsetila da testiram jednog Njujorčanina iz Sephora Party Color Hit seta.

It seems to me like it has passed an eternity since the last time I wore a gray nail polish. Youtuber Sonja (Sonia Caine) (click!) was my video reminder to test this New Yorker from the Sephora Party Color Hit set.

5th Avenue je srednje (ni previše tamna, ni previše svetla) "blato" siva, koja ima lepu sjajnu završnicu. Nisam očekivala od sivog laka da pokrije nakon prvog sloja, ali to čini vrlo uspešno. Formula je usklađen miks gela i kreme, sa više gelastom završnicom. Sa prvim slojem treba pripaziti, jer četkica može povući lak u par navrata ako se nanese velika količina laka odjednom.

Mislim da su dva tanka sloja sasvim dovoljna za lepu pokrivenost, iako se boja u bočici dostiže već nakon prvog sloja.

Fotografije su dva sloja laka bez nadlaka.

Lak sam dobila od Sephore, zajedno sa ostatkom gore pomenutog seta. Poseduju 5 ml i široku četkicu, a možete ih kupiti u svim Sephora parfimerijama po stalnoj ceni od 520 rsd.

5th Avenue is a medium (not too dark, not too light) "mud" gray polish, who has a nice shiny finish. I did not expected from a gray varnish to cover after the first layer, but it makes it very successfully. Formula is good mix of gel and cream, with more gelly finish. You should be careful with the first layer, because the brush can pull polish in a couple occasions if you apply large amount of polish at once.

I think that two layers are quiet enough for a nice coverage, even though the color in the bottle reaches after the first layer. Photos are two coats of polish, without top coat.

I got this polish from Sephora, along with the rest of the above mentioned set. Sephora nail polishes have a 5 ml and a broad brush, and you can buy them in all Sephora perfumeries at a fixed price of 520 serbian dinars.

Steampunk nail art: Bornprettystore.com recenzija nitni i kružnih ukrasa za nokte (video)

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 19:10:00 +0000

Da li znate onaj osećaj kad odlučite da uradite nešto "za svoju dušu", bez obzira na to šta će drugi ljudi pomisliti? Takav osećaj imala sam bezbroj puta u svom životu, jer sam uživala (i dalje uživam) da eksperimentišem, budem drugačija i autentična, a to je slučaj i sa današnjim manikirom. Steampunk, urban exploration (urbex), abandoned places research su moja strast od detinjstva i da nisam antropolog definitivno bih bila fotograf/istraživač napuštenih, potpuno zaboravljenih mesta. To je moja današnja inspiracija.

Do you know that feeling when you decide to do something "for your soul", regardless of what other people think? I had that feeling many times in my life, because I enjoyed (and still enjoying) to experiment, be different and authentic, as in the case of today`s manicure. Steampunk, urban exploration (Urbex), abandoned places research are my passion since childhood and if I'm not an anthropologist I would definitely be photographer/researcher of abandoned, completely forgotten places. This is my inspiration today.

Važan deo današnjeg manikira zauzimaju ukrasi za nokte koje sam kupila sa sajta Born pretty store.com (klik!). U pitanju su zlatne i srebrne nitne različitih veličina, kao i metalni ukrasi kružnog oblika. Nitne (klik!) su me posebno oduševile, jer se mogu uklopiti uz bilo kakav tip manikira, dovoljno je naneti nadlak kako bi se zalepile za nokat. Sa druge strane, za lepljenje kružnih ukrasa (klik!) preporučujem upotrebu vrlo male količine super lepka, posebno ukoliko planirate da nosite manikir duže od 4 dana. Ukrasi su od metala, tako da ih možete skinuti nakon korišćenja i potopiti u čist aceton i tako ih sačuvati i za narednu upotrebu.

An important part of today's manicure took decorations for nails that I bought from the site Born pretty store.com (click!). These are gold and silver studs of various sizes, and metal round shape ornaments. Studs (click!) I liked especially, because they fit in with any type of manicure, it is sufficient to apply a top coat to put it on the nails. On the other hand, I recommend you to apply rpund shape ornaments (click!) by very small amount of super glue, especially if you plan to wear manicure for more than 4 days. The decorations are made of metal, so you can take off them after use and soak in pure acetone and thus preserve them for the next use.

Sephora Animal Instinct

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Fri, 06 Feb 2015 22:10:00 +0000

Jedan od Sephora lakova iz novogodišnjeg Party Color Hit seta koji me je posebno oduševio odmah nakon prvog nanošenja je današnji zavodljivi duohrom po imenu Animal Instinct.

One of the Sephora nail polishes from Party Color Hit holiday set which partcularly impressed me immediatly after the first application was today`s seductive duochrome named Animal Instinct.

Ne posedujem mnogo lakova sa specijalnim efektima (pod tim podrazumevam i lakove sa duohrom efektom), tako da mi je nošenje ovog laka pridavalo veliko zadovoljstvo.
Što se mene lično tiče, Animal Instinct je idealan naziv za ovaj lak. U pitanju je srednja braon baza, koja se preliva i reflektuje bakarnu, narandžastu i žutu nijansu. Kao stvoren je za hladnije dane.
Vrlo se lagano nanosi i pokriva nakon prvog sloja. Suši se za nijansu duže, tako da sam malo duže pauzirala između nanošenja slojeva.

Na fotografijama imam dva sloja laka bez nadlaka.

Sephora lakovi poseduju 5 ml i široku četkicu, a u Srbiji ih možete kupiti u svim Sephora parfimerijama (Ušće shopping centar i Delta city) po stalnoj ceni od 520 rsd.

I don`t have a lot of polishes with special effects (by that I mean duohrom effect), so wearing this varnish has been given great satisfaction to me. For me personally, Animal Instinct is the perfect name for this polish.

It is a medium brown base, which is poured out and reflects copper, orange and yellow shades. Is perfect for cooler days. It is very easy to apply and it covers after the first layer. It dryes a bit longer, so I paused a little longer between coats.

On the photographs I have two coats of polish without top coat.

Sephora varnishes possess 5 ml and a wide flat brush. In Serbia you can buy them in all Sephora perfumeries (Ušće shopping center and Delta city) at a fixed price of 520 serbian dinars.

Brzosušeći nadlakovi (Miss Sporty, Golden Rose, Seche Vite)

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 08:00:00 +0000

Nadlakovi za kojima najčešće posežem su brzosušeći, jer što sam starija sve mi je draže kad se manikir brzo osuši. Nisam probala mnogo, tačnije probala sam samo ova tri brzosušeća nadlaka koja vam danas predstavljam. Svrha brzosušećih nadlakova je da za što kraće vreme osuše manikir, te su zbog toga pogodni za nanošenje kako na suv, tako i na poluosušen manikir. Glavna odlika je sušenje nakon 60 sekundi od nanošenja.

Topcoats which I commonly use are fast-drying, because the older I am I prefer when my manicure dries quickly. I have not tried much, or more precisely I tried just three of these fast drying top coats which I now present to you. The purpose of the fast-drying top coat is faster dry time of the manicure, and therefore they are suitable for application on dried or half-dried manicure. The main feature is drying after 60 seconds of application.

◢ Miss Sporty Turbo dry top coat 60 sec dry ◣

Ovaj nadlak je prepoznatljiv po boji, plavoj tinti koja se u vrlo maloj količini prenosi i na manikir. Zbog toga preporučujem da se ne nanosi na svetlije lakove, jer ih tonira. Pogodan je za tamnije lakove. Ovaj nadlak se zaista brzo suši, ali je pri samoj aplikaciji jako komplikovan. Ima plastificiranu i krtu četkicu koja neravnomerno raspoređuje nadlak duž nokta, pri čemu ostavlja štrafte koje se i nakon sušenja vide (posebno na fotografijama izbliza), iako uživo nisu previše istaknute.

Za dnevne, brze varijante je sasvim pristojan nadlak, ali ne očekujte čuda, jer se, nakon što pređete polovinu bočice kreće zgrušavati, postaje gušći, te ga je sve teže naneti ravnomerno. Sa druge strane, prilično je postojan.

Poseduje 8 ml, a cena mu je 180 rsd, u mojoj lokalnoj parfimeriji.

This topcoat is recognizable by color or blue ink, which should transmit in a very small amount on a manicure. Therefore, I recommend that you do not apply it over brighter nail polish shades, because it tones. It is suitable for darker polishes. This topcoat dries really quickly, but in the application itself is very complicated. It has a plastic and brittle brush, which unevenly distributes polish along the nails, and leaves stripes which you can see after drying (especially in close-up photos), but live they`re not too prominent.
For daily, fast variants is quite decent topcoat, but do not expect miracles, because, after you spent half of the bottle it becomes thick, and it is increasingly difficult to apply it evenly. On the other hand, it`s good lasting..
Contains 8 ml, and its price is 180 serbian dinars.

◢ Golden Rose Quick dry top coat ◣

Golden Rose Quick dry ima široku, pljosnatu četkicu, što je pozitivna strana za bilo koji nadlak. Međutim, njegove glavne mane su povlačenje laka odnosno razmazivanje boje, a naročito njegova nepostojanost.

Za produžavanje postojanosti baznog laka/manikira neophodna su dva sloja ovog nadlaka. Takođe, ostavlja jedva vidljive štrafte nakon sušenja i nema istaknutu sjajnu završnicu kao druga dva brzosušeća nadlaka. Četkica je plastična, ali mnogo bolje raspoređuje lak u odnosu na Miss Sporty, iako je kvalitet četkice gotovo isti. Takođe, ne menja boju baznog laka kao što to čini MS. Formula mu je retka (vodenasta).

Sadrži 10 ml, a njegova cena je 170 rsd u mojoj lokalnoj parfimeriji.

Golden Rose Quick Dry top coat has a wide, flat brush, which is a positive side to any topcoat. However, it`s main flaws are easy color smearing, especially its volatility.
For long lasting of the base color/manicure it`s required to add two coats of top coat. It also leaves stripes after drying and it hasn`t shiny finish as the other two fast drying top coat. The brush is plastic, but much better for spreading nail polish compared to Miss Sporty, although the quality of brush is almost the same. Also, do not change the color of the base color as it does MS. Formula is thin (watery).
It contains 10 ml, and its price is 170 serbian dinars.

◢ Seche Vite Dry fast top coat ◣

Najpostojaniji brzosušeći nadlak koji sam probala. Izuzetno gusta formula, dovoljna je mala kapljica kako bi se obuhvatio ceo nokat. Daje izgled geliranih noktiju i jedan sloj je sasvim dovoljan. Jako je postojan, manikir sa njim traje i do pet dana, pa čak i ako za to vreme radite fizičke poslove kao što je pranje suđa. Četkica je klasična, ali odlično obavlja posao. Interesantno je da se ovaj nadlak suši nakon samo 40-ak sekundi, neverovatnom brzinom. Ipak, velika mana je nakon što dođete do sredine bočice, kreće da se grušava do te mere da postaje nemoguć za aplikaciju, javljaju se niti koje se razvlače po noktu tokom aplikacije, a četkica se potpuno ukrućuje. Moj savet je da ga ne štedite tokom korišćenja, jer je bolje da ga potrošite, nego da ga bacite.

Poseduje 14 ml, a cena mu je oko 550 dinara. Možete ga kupiti u svim prodavnicama njihovog uvoznika - Aleksandar kozmetike.

Steadiest fast drying top coat that I have ever tried. Extremely thick formula, only a small drop is enough to cover the whole nail. Gives the appearance of gel nails and one layer is sufficient. It is very long lasting, your manicure with him will last up to five days, even if you do jobs such as washing dishes. Brush is a classic, but it does the job perfectly. It is interesting that this topcoat dries in just 40 seconds, incredible fast. However, a major disadvantage is after you reach the middle of the bottle, it becomes extremely thick that it becomes impossible for the application, there are threads that are dragged around the nails during the application, and the brush is completely stiffen. My advice to you is do not save it during use, it is better to spend it than throw it away.
It has 14 ml, and the price is about 550 serbian dinars.

Da li ste probale neki od njih? Koji je vaš omiljeni brzosušeći nadlak?
Have you tried any of them? What is your favorite fast drying top coat?

Kineska robna kuća u mom kraju je već uveliko otvorena, pa je to bilo i obeležje moje prošlomesečne kupovine. Iako su lakovi nešto što nikako ne preporučujem da se kupuje u kineskim radnjama, ostala manikir oprema je vrlo jeftina i dostupna kod njih. Planiram još dosta toga da kupim, ali za sada sam izabrala ovo.

Big chinese shop in my neighborhood is already open, so it was the hallmark of my last month purchase. Although I don`t recommend you to buy nail polishes at Chinese shops, other manicure stuff is very cheap and available. I plan to buy a lot more, but for now, I chose this.

Prodajemo "otrov u slatkom pakovanju": Kineski lakovi - Moje iskustvo (video)

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 08:00:00 +0000

CR (Cairuo/Care Romeis) su kineski lakovi koje možete pronaći vrlo jeftino u većini kineskih prodavnica, kao i na uličnim tezgama. Ova bočica koštala me je 50 dinara, ali taj novac sam žrtvovala kako bih vam prenela svoje utiske i pokazala da su ovo lakovi koje ni pod tačkom razno ne smete kupovati, koliko god vam se pakovanje dopadalo.

CR (Cairuo/Care Romeis) are chinese nail polishes, which you can find very cheap in most Chinese stores here in Serbia, and also on street stalls. This bottle cost me 50 serbian dinars, but I sacrified that money in order to tell you my impressions and to show you that these polishes are really bad. Don`t buy them because you liked packaging, you`ll regret it.

Kineske lakove sam i sama kupovala dok sam išla u srednju školu. Bili su jeftini i od džeparca sam mogla da izdvojim za njih. Takođe, uvek su imali primamljive boje. Najčešće sam kupovala CR lakove na uličnim tezgama misleći da su turski lakovi, sve dok nisam primetila da je ono što nam prodaju sve - samo nije lak za nokte.
Početkom srednje škole (2004. godine) nisam imala internet, tako da nisam mogla ništa da saznam o njima. Tek kasnije sam videla da se po kineskim radnjama mogu kupiti CR, Cairuo i Care Romeis lakovi (što je, zapravo, isti brend). Tada sam prestala da ih kupujem, jer nikada nisu naglašavali hemijski sastav na bočici. Pored toga, uvek su imali prodoran, neprijatan miris, što mi je sugerisalo da imaju štetne sastojke. Lak koji danas predstavljam je na etiketi imao sastav.

These nail polishes I bought for myself, when I was in high school. They were cheap and of spending money I could buy them. Also, they always had attractive colors. Most of them I bought at street stalls thinking they`re turkish, until I noticed that those are not good nail polishes at all.
At the beginning of my high school (year 2004) I didn`t have the internet, so I could not find out anything about them. It was later when I saw that at Chinese stores I can buy CR, Cairuo and Care Romeis varnishes (which were all, actually, the same brand). Then I stopped buying them because they never emphasized the chemical ingredients on the bottle. In addition, it always had an unpleasant scent, which suggested to me that they have harmful ingredients. This polish has the label with ingredients.

Hemijski sastav / Ingredients:

Nitrocellulose, Acetyl tributyl citrate, Acrylates copolymer, Hectorite, Isopropyl alcohol, Alcohol, n-Butyl acetate, Ethyl acetate

Kako što možete videti u videu iznad, ovo nije lak, već nekakva polu-likvidna smesa koja se suši mat čim dodirne površinu nokta. Najbolji opis koji bih mogla da dam je kao da nanosite temperu na nokte pomoću vrlo loše četkice. Na sve to, četkica povlači lak i ostavlja brazde. Primetila sam da se oseća užasan miris dok se nanosi, ali nakon sušenja laka nokti mirišu na mirišljave parafinske sveće. Taj miris isparava nakon par sati, i hemijski miris ponovo počinje da dominira.

Lak je potpuna katastrofa. Sramota je što se dozvoljava da se ovako nešto uvozi u našu zemlju. Takođe mi je žao što mnoge devojčice (privučene lepim pakovanjem ili zbog nemogućnosti da kupe skuplje lakove) kupuju ovaj otrov i ugrožavaju sebi zdravlje udišući štetne sastojke.

As you can see in the video above, this is not a nail polish, but some semi-liquid mixture that dries matte as soon as it touches the surface of the nail. The best description I can give to you is like you apply acrylic paint on nails using very bad brush. Beside, the brush pulls polish and leaves deep lines. I noticed that it smells terrible while it is applied, but after drying nail polish smell like scented paraffin candles. The smell exhale after a few hours, and the chemical smell again begins to dominate.

This polih is a complete disaster. It's a shame that we allow something like this to be imported into our country. I'm also sorry that many girls (attracted by the beautiful packaging or inability to buy more expensive lacquers) buy this poison and threaten the health of yourself inhaling harmful ingredients.

Znam da me prati veliki broj tinejdžerki, zbog toga bih želela ovom prilikom da vas zamolim da ne kupujete ništa što je rasprostranjeno po uličnim tezgama i kineskim radnjama.

Kod Kineza možete pronaći sve što vam je potrebno za manikir,
ali lakove, molim vas, zaobiđite.
Ako ništa, mislite na vaše zdravlje!

Poređenje: Golden Rose Matte top coat - Miss Sporty Check matte

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Sat, 24 Jan 2015 08:00:00 +0000

Matirani nokti postali su veoma popularni tokom jeseni i zime 2013. godine, a posebno su bili popularizovani crni mat nokti širom socijalnih mreža kao što su Pinterest i Instagram. U tom periodu sam snimila i postavila na kanal video kako matirati nokte u kućnoj radinosti (klik!). Ubrzo nakon toga na tržište su plasirani matirajući nadlakovi, koji služe da se bazna boja/manikir matira nakon 60 sekundi. Danas za vas imam video u kojem sam vam prenela mišljenje o dva matirajuća nadlaka.

Matte nails became very trendy during fall/winter of 2013, where black matte nails were especially popularized across social networks such as Pinterest and Instagram. During this period, I recorded and set the video on my channel with that topic: how ro matte your nails at home (click!). Shortly thereafter there were launched mattifying top coats, which serves to mattify base color/manicure after 60 seconds. Today I have for you a video in which I have quoted the opinion about two mattifying top coats (video is serbian language only!).

Recenzija: BORNPRETTYSTORE.COM pločica za pečatiranje Born Pretty 09

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 08:00:00 +0000

Pločice za pečatiranje su za mene definitivno nešto novo, jer ih do sada nisam koristila niti kupovala, ali sam odlučila da se u narednom periodu tome posvetim.

Koristila sam jedan motiv sa Born Pretty 09 pločice sa sajta Born pretty store.

For me stamping plates are definitely something new, because so far I have not used or shopped any, but I decided to get into it in future. I was encouraged by beautiful stamping nail art done by serbian master - Vedrana (click!). This is practically my first stamping plate, and on the photographs is my first stamping. I think it`s successfull. I used a pattern from Born Pretty 09 plate from the site Born Pretty store.

Iako sam o pločici detaljnije pisala u jednom od prethodnih članaka (klik!), želela sam da sa vama podelim video o prvom testiranju ove pločice, kao i fotografije dizajna.

Praznični venac manikir (video)

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 08:00:00 +0000

Iako su praznici uveliko prošli, iskoristila bih ovaj januar za postavljanje fotografija poslednjeg prazničnog manikira koji sam snimila i objavila na kanalu. Bila sam inspirisana prazničnim vencima koji se kače na ulazna vrata. Nadam se da se i vama dopada!

Although the holidays are already gone, I would like to share with you these photos of my last festive manicure, which I recorded and released on the youtube channel. I was inspired by those festive wreaths which hung on the front doors during the holidays. Hope you like it!

Catrice #600 After Eight

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 08:00:00 +0000

Jedan od privlačnijih Catrice lakova koje sam uspela da pronađem na sajtu Moje krpice.rs je i After Eight, a zašto privlači poglede uverite se i sami.

One of the most attractive Catrice polishes that I was able to find on the site Moje krpice.rs is After Eight, and why it catched my eye you can see for yourself.

Za nijansu je ređi odnosno vodenkast, tako da je dovoljno imati malu količinu laka na četkici kako bi se ravnomerno naneo. Četkica je srednje širine i malo je povlačila lak dok sam prelazila preko istog mesta gde je lak već nanet. Sam lak se suši malo duže, za prvi sloj mi je bilo neophodno da izdvojim 15 minuta za sušenje.

Izuzetno je taman lak, tamno sive gotovo crne baze, prepun zelenog mikro glitera, a nosi ime čuvenog čokoladnog-pepermint dezerta "After Eight". Formula laka je kremasta. Nakon drugog sloja boja dobija na intenzitetu, a završnica je bez sjaja. Na fotografijama imam dva sloja laka bez nadlaka.
Catrice lakovi poseduju 10 ml i pljosnatu četkicu srednje širine. U Srbiji nisu zvanično dostupni, ali ih možete pronaći putem internet prodaje.

This polish has a little bit thin or watery formula, so it is sufficient to have a small quantity of paint on the brush to be evenly applied. The brush is of medium width and it pushed nail polish while I was crossing over the same area where the paint already applied. Varnish dries a little longer, for the first layer I needed to extract 15 minutes for drying.
It is pretty much dark shade, dark gray almost black base, full of green micro glitter and it bears the name of the famous chocolate-pepermint dessert "After Eight". The formula of polish is creamy. After the second layer of polish gets on the intensity and the finish is dull. On the photographs I have two coats of nail polish without top coat.
Catrice nail polishes possess 10 ml of nail polish and flat medium width brush. In Serbia are not officially available, but you can find them on the internet sales.

Sally Hansen #404 Greige Gardens

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Sat, 10 Jan 2015 08:00:00 +0000

Ne mogu reći da sam razočarana ali svakako sam očekivala mnogo više od ovog laka. U narednim redovima čitajte moje utiske nakon testiranja još jednog Sally Hansen laka, kojeg sam kupila putem sajta Moje krpice.rs.

I can`t say that I`m disappointed but surely I was expecting a lot more from this nail polish. In the following lines read my impressions after testing another Sally Hansen nail polish, which I bought through the site Moje krpice.rs.

Greige Gardens je lak koji spada u kategoriju "lak koji samo Danijeli može da se svidi", ali ste verovatno već navikli da viđate neobične nijanse na mom blogu.
Nedefinisane sivkasto ljubičaste nijanse su baš po mojoj meri. Ipak, odlikuje ga popriličan broj mana. Redak je i slabo pigmentovan, te nakon prvog sloja izgleda prilično bledo (ili kako volim da kažem "anemično") i neispunjeno.

S obzirom na široku četkicu, time je loša aplikacija za nijansu poboljšana. Ovo je do sada najlošiji SH lak koji sam imala priliku da probam, i to me je prilično iznenadilo jer nisam očekivala ni najmanje ovakvo iskustvo. Za utehu, slojevi se brzo suše i vrlo su tanki, tako da bez problema možete naneti i tri sloja. Dva sloja su dovoljna za pokrivenost i dostizanje boje u bočici, a formula laka je gelasta.
Na fotografijama imam dva sloja laka bez nadlaka.
Sally Hansen lakovi sadrže 14.7 ml i široku pljosnatu četkicu. Dostupni su u svim Sephora parfimerijama po ceni od oko 1000 rsd.

Greige Gardens is nail polish which falls into the category "polish in which only Danijela can enjoy", but you probably already accustomed to seeing unusual shades on my blog. Undefined grayish-purple shades are exactly to my needs. However, it`s characterized by a considerable number of flaws. It`s thin and poorly pigmented, and after the first coat looks quite pale (or as I like to say "anemic") and unfulfilled.
It has a broad brush, so bad application is slightly improved. This is so far the worst SH nail polish that I had a chance to try, and I was quite surprised because I didn`t expect such a bad experience. Mercifully, the layers are dry quickly and are very thin, so it is no problem to apply three coats. Two coats are sufficient for coverage and reaching the color in the bottle and formula is gelly.
On the photographs I have two coats of nail polish without top coat.
Sally Hansen nail containing 14.7 ml and a wide flat brush. They are available in all Sephora perfumeries at a cost of around 1000 serbian dinars.

Sephora L66 Green revolution

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Tue, 06 Jan 2015 11:00:00 +0000

Green revolution je sastavni deo novogodišnjeg seta lakova za nokte Sephora Party Color Hit, ali se može kupiti i pojedinačno tj. van tog seta.

Green revolution is nail polish which is part of the New Year`s set of nail polish Sephora Party Color Hit, but it can be purchased individually, out of the set.

U pitanju je gust lak i ta gustina ne smeta da se lak savršeno lagano nanosi. Potpuni je jednoslojac i drugi sloj uopšte nije neophodan, jer se nakon prvog sloja dostiže boja u bočici, ali i potpuna pokrivenost nokta.
Ovo je čista trava zelena, idealna nijansa za kolekciju svake devojke. Slojevi se suše jako brzo, a formula laka je kremasta. Završnica je "plastična" i prigušena, bez visokog sjaja. To mi se dopada, jer takva završnica mi omogućava da preskočim nanošenje nadlaka.

Lak sam dobila od Sephore, zajedno sa ostatkom gore pomenutog seta. Poseduju 5 ml i široku četkicu, a možete ih kupiti u svim Sephora parfimerijama po stalnoj ceni od 520 rsd.

It is a thick nail polish and the density doesn`t make hard a nail polish application. It`s complete "one coat-er" nail polish, the second layer is not necessary, because after the first layer reaches the color in the bottle and completely coverage the nail.
This is pure grass green, the ideal shade for every girl's collection. The layers were dried very fast and the formula of polish is creamy. The finish is "plastic" and subdued, without a high gloss. I like that, because such finish allows me to skip applying top coat.
This nail polish I got from Sephora, along with the rest of the above mentioned set. They have a 5 ml and a flat brush. You can buy them in all Sephora perfumeries here in Serbia for a fixed price of 520 serbian dinars.

Lakiranje noktiju u vodi - Božićne boje (video)

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 08:00:00 +0000

Ove praznike obeležilo je popriličan broj prazničnih manikira, u odnosu na prethodne godine, s obzirom da ranije nisam imala običaj da ukrašavam nokte u skladu sa događajima i godišnjim dobima. Danas vam donosim tutorijal i fotografije lakiranja noktiju u vodi sa božićnim bojama: zelenom, crvenom i belom!

These holidays were marked by a cosiderable numer of festive manicures, compared to the previous years, considering that I didn`t have the custom to decorate my nails according to the events and seasons. Today I bring you a tutorial and photos of water marble nail art, which is done with Christmas colors: green, red and white!

U mozaiku - 2014. godina + Blogofot #Decembar (video)

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 08:00:00 +0000

Iako mi je ova godina proletela za tili čas, moram priznati da je bila vrlo plodonosna što se tiče kako blogovanja, tako i privatnog života. Sve velike želje s početka 2014. godine u potpunosti su se ostvarile, stoga sam ja jedno srećno biće koje u narednu godinu ulazi potpuno ispunjeno. Isto želim i vama!

Although this year flew fast, I must admit I was very fruitful as far in blogging, as well in private life. All the great wishes I had in beginning of 2014 have been fully came true, therefore I`m one happy person who will be completely fulfilled in the next year. I wish the same to you!

Godinu su obeležile mnogobrojne saradnje, stoga bih posebno želela da se zahvalim Ivani i sajtu Mogu ja to sama (klik!), zatim sajtu Born pretty store (klik!), sa kojim je saradnja počela u ovo doba prošle godine i traje i dalje, zatim kratkotrajnim, ali lepim saradnjama sa distributerima Deina (klik!), Eveline (klik!) i Classics (klik!) lakova. Na kraju, posebna zahvalnost ide parfimeriji Sephora (klik!) za divne poklone kojima me je obradovala u oktobru i novembru. Pozdravila bih ovom prilikom i Aleksandru sa stranice Kreativan nakit (klik!), jer će mi razmena sa njom ostati u lepom sećanju (klik!). Ponosna sam što je moj trud i rad na ovom blogu ostao zapažen, jer to je meni lično znak da sam na dobrom putu.
Neizmerno mi je drago što je u ovog godini moj youtube kanal (klik!) doživeo nagli porast i gledanost, trudiću se da to održim i u narednoj godini. U to ime, posebno bih se zahvalila Vini (klik!), čija mi je podrška neizmerno značila.
Ne želim da propustim da izdvojim Vedranu (blog Cajkine kandže i sve njihove boje - klik!) kao blogerku koja mi je vremenom postala najdraža blogodrugarica, jer smo postale redovni uzajamni blogopratioci.
Takođe, zahvalila bih se svim redovnim pratiocima, kako ovde na blogu, tako i na ostalim socijalnim mrežama, a one koje bih izdvojila i posebno im se zahvalila su Đurđica Jovanović, Milica Milošević, Jasmina Stanković DeCuir, Jovana Veljkov, Amra Lugonić, Aleksandra Nikolić i Dragana Popović.
Hvala što ste bili uz mene, nadam se da će vam i naredne godine moj blog biti inspiracija i izvor korisnih informacija. Do tada vas ostavljam sa kolažima manikira iz 2014. godine i prazničnim videom o decembarskim novitetima.

This year was marked by numerous cooperations, so therefore I particularly would like to say thanks to Ivana from the serbian lifestyle portal Mogu ja to sama (click!), then to the site Born pretty store (click!), with whom cooperation started in this time last year and still continues, then to short, but nice cooperations, with serbian distributors of Deina (click!), Eveline (click!) and Classics (click!) nail polishes. Finally, one special thanks go to Sephora perfumery (click!) for beautiful gifts I received in october and november. This time I would like to mention Aleksandra from Kreativan nakit (click!), because I`ll always remember the exchange with her (click!).
I`m proud that my effort and work on this blog remained remarkable, because that`s a sign to me personally that I`m on the right track.
I`m super glad that in this year my youtube channel (click!) experienced a rise in the ratings, I will try to keep that in the upcoming year. In that regard, I would especially like to say thanks to Vina (click!), whose approval meant a lot to me.

I don`t want to miss Vedrana (blog Cajka`s claws and all their colors - click!) as a blogger who became my favorite blogofriend, because we have become a regular mutual blog companions.
I also would like to thank all regular companions, both here on the blog, and on other social networks, and those which I would set aside and particularly say special thanks are Đurđica Jovanović, Milica Milošević, Jasmina Stanković DeCuir, Jovana Veljkov, Amra Lugonić, Aleksandra Nikolić and Dragana Popović.
Thank to you too, for being with me, I hope that my blog will be an inspiration to you all and a source of useful informations next year. Until then, I leave you with these collages of manicures from 2014 and a holiday video about december new in.

Essie manikir za Essie Serbia foto konkurs #ESSIENAILFIE - Born Pretty Store pločica za pečatiranje BP09 (video)

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Fri, 26 Dec 2014 08:00:00 +0000

Do 10. januara 2015. godine na fejsbuk stranici Essie Serbia (klik!) održava se foto konkurs, gde možete postaviti fotografiju svog manikira, a jedini uslov je korišćenje Essie lakova. Žiri bira 30 najlepših fotografija i nagrađuje ih jednim Essie lakom. Prva fotografija je ona sa kojom ja učestvujem u tom konkursu.

Until 01/10/15 facebook page Essie Serbia (click!) will held a photo contest where serbian girls can upload a photo of their manicures, and the only requirement is to use Essie polishes. The jury will select the 30 most beautiful photos and reward them with one Essie nail polish. First photo is the one with which I participate in this contest.

Imam samo nekoliko Essie lakova, i već su postali jedni od mojih favorita. Odlične postojanosti i, po rečima mog dečka, vrlo blagog mirisa, spadaju među kvalitetnije u mojoj kolekciji. Za ovaj manikir koristila sam kao bazu lak boje kože po imenu Sand Tropez, zatim sam odradila gradijent pomoću nežnog lila laka pod nazivom Lilacism, a nakon toga sam pečatirala pomoću mog plavog miljenika - Mesmerized.

I have only a few Essie nail polishes, and they have already become one of my favorite ones. Excellent lasting and, according to my boyfriend, with mild scent, are among the better quality in my collection. For this manicure I used as base color nude nail polish called Sand Tropez, then I did a gradient using lilac nail polish Lilacism, and then I stamped using my favorite blue - Mesmerized.

Ujedno sam iskoristila priliku da testiram pločicu za pečatiranje koju sam nedavno naručila sa sajta Born pretty store.com. Duboko je urezan svaki detalj, lako se prenosi na pečat, tako da vam iskreno preporučujem sve pločice na tom sajtu pod šifrom BP. Ovu pločicu možete poručiti (ovde!), a sa mojim kupon kodom možete dobiti i 10% popusta na tu cenu: DVSX31. Dostava je besplatna širom sveta, tako da plaćate samo cenu koja je navedena pored proizvoda koji kupujete. Da biste poručivali sa tog sajta neophodno je da imate PayPal račun.

I also took the opportunity to test nail stamping plate I recently ordered from the website Born pretty store.com. It`s deeply carved into every detail, also easy for stamping, so I`m heartily recommend to you these nail plates from that site. They`re coded under the code BP. This plate can be ordered (here!), and with my coupon code you can get a 10% discount on that price: DVSX31. Shipping is free worldwide, so you only pay the price that is listed next to the products you buy. If you want to purchase anything from that site, you must have a PayPal account.

Blogovanje (ni)je lako: Ko su, zapravo, blogeri i koliko je težak blogerski put?

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 08:00:00 +0000

Još jedan (neko bi pomislio) dosadan dan u životu blogera, kada dotični odluči da pametuje na internetu, ali nadam se da ću ovim tekstom uspeti da vas razuverim i nateram na razmišljanje: šta, uistinu, predstavlja jedan bloger sa svojim onlajn kutkom zvanim blog? I zaista, o ovoj temi već duže vreme razmišljam.

Današnji članak nema nameru da daje recept za uspešno blogovanje niti autorka ovog teksta želi da postavi sebe u položaj osobe koja "zna kako se stvara i vodi uspešan blog" jer, paradoksalno, ni "oni najbolji" ne bi imali odgovor na taj beskonačan niz pitanja.

Koliko god da je uspešno blogovanje zagonetka, postoje one "male sitnice" koje će pojedine, hajde da se fokusiramo na blogerke, istaći iz okeana novih ženskih (najčešće modnih i kozmetičkih) blogova koji su u poslednje vreme nastali širom balkanske blogosfere. Lepo je videti da se blogosfera širi, ali mnogo je lepše videti kvalitetan blog u usponu. Možda ćete pomisliti da je reklama na sve strane izvor koji će doprineti da pratioci ispupe kao cvet i da se preko noći dostigne makar i neki manji uspeh. Greška. Niti najbolji sadržaj ne donosi prethodno pomenuto preko noći, već je potrebno vreme. A, i pitanje je da li bi vreme pomoglo, jer na to utiču mnogobrojni faktori...

Olako shvatanje blogovanja nateralo je mnoge devojke da odustanu, potpuno zapostave ili pak, ono najgore, obrišu svoj blog. Želim odmah da nagovestim: za mene bi brisanje mog bloga bilo ravno ubistvu ili spaljivanju zbirke fotografija, jedan zločin. Ostavimo, za sada, po strani vreme koje je potrebno izdvojiti za vođenje i održavanje bloga. Iole uspešan blog je, pre svega, jedna ogromna i neopisiva ljubav, vredna kreacija stvorena od strane kreativnog čoveka. Samim tim, blog se ne započinje iz dokolice, zarad zarade novca ili iz šale, već potrebe da se bude kreativan, izrazi ono umetničko što, složiće te se, u sebi ne nosi baš svaki čovek na ovoj planeti, ili bar ne ume to da izrazi putem blogovanja.

Bloger je umetnički/kreativno nadaren čovek, koji nastoji da se kroz svoj blog kreativno izrazi. Možda će nekom ove reči zvučati smešno i pretenciozno, ali svako ko je makar pokušao da vodi blog, sigurno će se složiti sa ovim tekstom. Jer, umetnost je privući publiku koja će čitati šta napišete, slušati Vas dok pričate, gledati Vas dok nešto objašnjavate, gledati Vaše fotografije sa oduševljenjem, zar ne?

Komentar sa fejsbuk stranice Zorannah`s fashion corner

Kreativcem se ne postaje, kreativnost se poseduje, a, zatim, vremenom i iskustvom nadograđuje. Sigurno ste primetili da se neki, vama nekada dragi, blogovi sadržinski (primera radi) dve godine nisu promenili. Zašto je to tako?
Odgovor na to pitanje je statičnost, potreba blogera da "plovi barkom bez turbulencija", ali blogovanje upravo i jeste takvo: turbulentno.
Uspešan bloger razmišlja kreativno i to prenosi na celokupan sadržaj bloga. Bloger koji voli svoj blog nikada neće dozvoliti da mu čitaoci odu "glavom bez obzira" i više nikada ne uđu na njegov blog, jer mu je ponestalo ideja i raznolikosti u sadržaju. Za statičnost i manjak kreativne/umetničke crte pojedinca koji vodi blog, nažalost, nema mesta u blogosferi. Ne kažem da se meni lično ovo nije dešavalo. Upravo suprotno.

Nije lako voditi blog, a još je teže od njega stvoriti nešto što će zaživeti i biti vredno čitalačke pažnje.
Teško je fotografisati, uhvatiti pravi ugao, osvetljenje, fokus i momenat. Za mene je na početku bilo teško i da nalakiram nokte, a da makro opcija ne uhvati neku nepravilnost tj. onaj "najsitniji detalj nepažnje tokom nanošenja laka".
Publika ne voli greške, ona ne shvata greške i ne oprašta. Njih ne interesuje da li ste imali loš dan za fotografisanje "jer ste pali ispit, pa ste neraspoloženi", da li vam je osvetljenje u videu loše "jer, ipak, od vremenskih prilika se ne može pobeći", ili niste imali inspiraciju za pisanje.
Publika se teško stiče, a vrlo lako gubi.
Na blogerima se vrši neka vrsta konstantnog pritiska, a oni najuporniji će poput mazohista u tome uživati i kroz svoj blog ostvariti uspeh.

Nakon dve godine blogovanja slobodno mogu da kažem da biti bloger nije lako niti ostvarivo za sve profile ljudi. Oni koji nisu spremni da prihvate kritiku i cyber napade anonimnih ljudi jednostavno neće istrajati u ovom ni malo naivnom svetu, koji ima svoje dobre, ali i loše strane. Samim tim, jako je teško objasniti koliko je blogovanje, zapravo, težak posao koji zahteva najmanje 3 sata posvećenosti dnevno (kažem najmanje, jer lično provodim i više, naročito što pored bloga vodim i YouTube kanal).
Istina je da sam, dok sam studirala, ponekad žrtvovala svoje i više nego dragoceno vreme tako što sam ga posvećivala blogu, a ne spremanju ispita. Majka i sestra često su pridikovale: "Danijela, mani se toga, uči dete!". Ali, to je ljubav, moja bezuslovna ljubav prema blogu i tematici ovog bloga.

Ovim kratkim tekstom želela sam da svim (stalnim ili slučajnim) čitaocima približim tj. dočaram blogerski put, bez namere da "jadikujem nad svojom blogerskom sudbinom". Ipak, sve što sam iznela u ovom tekstu zaista jesu činjenice iza kojih stojim.
Ukoliko ste ga pročitali, hvala vam, a ukoliko ste razmišljali o pokretanju sopstvenog bloga, razmislite još jednom. Potrudite se da od starta imate kvalitetan sadržaj, jer, kako kaže izreka, ne postoji druga šansa za prvi utisak.

Žirafa print manikir (video)

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 11:00:00 +0000

Iskrena da budem, ne volim animal print (na svojim noktima), što zbog toga jer nisam ljubitelj toga, što zbog već izvikanog i milion puta rekreiranog leopard printa na noktima. Jedini dizajn koji je asocijacija na životinju, a koji mi se mnogo dopada, je žirafa print.

To be honest, I don`t like animal print (on my nails), because I`m not a fan of that, but also because of the notorious milion times recreated leopard print. The only design that associates to the animal, which seems cute to me, is giraffe print.

Trenutni tretman mojih noktiju #2 Rosewater, Avon višenamenski balzam, Eveline 8u1 (video)

noreply@blogger.com (Danijela Puhaca) — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 08:00:00 +0000

Dugo nisam pisala na blogu o tome kako brinem o svojim noktima, pa sam odlučila da podelim sa vama moj trenutni tretman ruku, noktiju i zanoktica. Detaljnije o proizvodima koje koristim pričala sam u videu koji možete pogledati ispod ovog teksta.

It`s been a long time since I wrote on the blog how I take care of my nails, so I decided to share with you current treatment of my hands, nails and cuticles. More details about the products that I use I already told in the video which you can watch below this text. (*serbian language only!)

Najbitnija promena u mojoj rutini je što sam uvela dubinski (noćni) tretman ruku (pakovanje), o kojem sam detaljno pričala u videu i demonstrirala kako taj tretman izgleda tokom nanošenja. Tu promenu potpomogla je divna Vina (klik!).

Iako sam već uveliko prešla na druge kreme, Rosewater body lotion, britanske kompanije Crabtree & Evelyn, je postala moja miljenica. Nisam sigurna da li su dostupni u Srbiji, jer fejsbuk odbija da posetim Crabtree & Evelyn Beograd stranicu (https://sr-rs.facebook.com/Crabtree.Evelyn.Beograd).

Svoj primerak sam dobila iz inostranstva. Ovaj losion za telo zamišljen je tako da se može upotrebljavati i kao krema za ruke. Taj posao obavlja fantastično. Sadrži glicerin, šea puter, bademovo i kokosovo ulje, a ispod možete detaljnije videti sastav.

The most important change in my routine is that I began with deep (night) treatment of my hands, about which I spoke in details in the video and demonstrated how this treatment seems during application. This change was supported by wonderful serbian youtuber Vina Živković (click!).
Even though I already moved on to other hand creams, body lotion Rosewater, by British company Crabtree & Evelyn, has become my favorite. I'm not sure if they are available in Serbia, because Facebook is refusing to visit Crabtree & Evelyn Belgrade page (https://sr-rs.facebook.com/Crabtree.Evelyn.Beograd).
I got mine from abroad. This body lotion is designed to be used as a hand cream. It is fantastic. Contains glycerin, shea butter, almond and coconut oil, and below you can see more detailed ingredients.

Odlično oporavlja ispucale delove kože, a zanoktice potpuno hidrira i otklanja. Dopada mi se što je potrebno naneti vrlo malu količinu kako bi se ruke hidrirale, a naročito mi se sviđa što je masna i što dubinski neguje. Koristila sam je mesec dana i za to vreme sam potpuno oporavila kritične zanoktice, koje su zbog hladnoće ispucale i postale bolne.

It recovers chapped skin areas great and fully hydrates cuticles and, as a final step, removes them. I like that you need to apply a very small amount on hands for hydrating, and I especially like that greasy effect. I used it for a month and during that time I fully recovered my critical cuticles and cuticle area, which were cracking due to cold weather and became painful.

Maslinovo ulje i višenamenski balzam sa pčelinjim voskom iz Avona takođe su postali deo svakodnevne rutine, o čemu sam detaljno pričala u videu.

Olive oil and beeswax multipurpose balm from Avon also became part of my daily routine, I spoke about them in the video.

Za kraj, Eveline 8 u 1 tretman za nokte na bazi formaldehida uspešno oporavlja kratere koji su se pojavili na noktima, a možete ih videti u videu. Ojačao je moje nokte nakon dve nedelje korišćenja. Iako ima oštar, po malo neprijatan miris, ovo je najbolje sredstvo za oporavak noktiju koje sam do sada imala priliku da probam. Beličaste je boje i može odlično služiti kao baza pre nanošenja laka.

At the end, Eveline 8 in 1 nail treatment based on formaldehyde is successfully recovering "nail craters" that have appeared on my nails, and you can see them in the video. It strengthened my nails after two weeks of use. Although it has a sharp, a little unpleasant odor, this is the best product for nails recovering that I have had the opportunity to try. White in his base, it can perfectly serve as a base before applying varnish.

Da li ste probale neki od ovih proizvoda i imate li svoje favorite?

Sephora L87 M-Maybe

Još jedan klasičan, neutralan kremasti lak "za svaki dan", koji je, bez obzira na odličnu formulu, izuzetno nefotogeničan.

Another classic, neutral and creamy nail polish "for every day", which is regardless of excellent formula extremely nonfotogenic.

Iako je pakovanje malo (5 ml laka), ovaj lak je zaista dobar i nemam nikakve zamerke što se tiče same formule i aplikacije. Široka četkica omogućava brzo i lako nanošenje, srednje je gustine i pokriva u jednom sloju, mada je boja po malo mlečkasta i bleda bez drugog sloja.

Nijansa je izuzetno neobična (kajsija-roze) u nekim momentima na tamnoputom telu može naginjati ka neoncu. Na fotografijama nisam uspela da zabeležim njegovu realnu boju. Idealan je za proleće i leto.

U pitanju je kremast lak sa više gelastom nego kremastom završnicom.

Nema potrebe za nadlakom. Možete ga kupiti u Sephora parfimerijama po stalnoj ceni od 520 rsd.

Although the package is small (5 ml of nail polish), this polish is really good and I have no objections regards the formula and application. Flat brush allows fast and easy to apply, it`s medium density and covers in one coat, but the color is a little bit milky and pale without a second layer.
The shade is extremely unusual (apricot-pink) in some moments on the dark-skinned body tilt toward neon nail polish. On the photographs I have not managed to capture the real color. It is ideal for spring and summer.
It is a creamy nail polish with more gelly than creamy finish.
There is no need for a top coat. Here in Belgrade/Serbia, you can buy it at Sephora perfumeries at a fixed price of 520 serbian dinars.

Astor #595 VIP Silver

Obožavam metalik lakove, naročito volim da ih nosim tokom zime, mada nisu posebno prijateljski nastrojeni prema tonu moje kože. Predstavljam vam Astor VIP Silver.

I love metallic nail polishes, especially love to wear them during the winter, although they`re not particularly friendly to my skin tone. I represent you Astor VIP Silver.

Ovaj lak nije promenio moje utiske generalno vezano za metalik finiš, bar ne što se tiče aplikacije i postojanosti. Poznato je da metalik i folijaste završnice ocrtavaju trag kuda je prolazila četkica i to važi i za ovaj primerak. Takođe, mana mu je što se i nakon nanošenja nadlaka vrlo brzo krza, naročito nakon što vam ruke provedu duže vreme u vodi. Ipak, dopada mi se četkica koja dosta popravlja ionako lošu aplikaciju.
VIP Silver sigurno vam neće oduzeti dah, ali, bez obzira na to, zasigurno je vredan pažnje. Jedan sloj dobro pokriva, ali na fotografijama imam dva. Preporučujem da se nanese nadlak, u tom slučaju su štrafte mnogo manje uočljive.
Astor lakovi su nemačkog porekla i još uvek nisu dostupni u Srbiji, a ja sam došla do njega neposredno putem sajta Moje krpice. rs (klik!).

This varnish has not changed my impressions generally related to the metallic finish, at least not as far as the application and durability. It is known that metallic and foil finishes outline the track where brush passed and that is also the case with this polish. Also, his flaw is that quick after applying the top coat it frays, especially when your hands spend a long time in the water. However, I like the brush that improves enough bad application.
VIP Silver surely will not take your breath away, but, regardless, is certainly noteworthy. One layer provides good coverage, but on the photographs I have two. I recommend that the top coat is applied, in that case the stripes are less noticeable. Astor varnishes are of German origin and are not yet available in Serbia. I came up to him directly through the local serbian shopping site.
