Matching Manicures Sunday - Inspired by Book

Za ovonedeljne usklađene manikire inspiraciju pronalazimo u knjigama. Volim da čitam stoga mi je ova tema baš legla. E, sad, nisam bila sigurna da li treba da se odnosi na sadržaj neke knjige ili možda na korice, pa sam se odlučila za meni jednostavniju opciju - drugu. Odabrala sam "Instinkt smrti" Džeda Rubenfelda. Na žalost, još je nisam pročitala ali ako je upola dobra kao "Tumačenje ubistva" onda mora biti odlična.

For this week's matching manicures our inspiration are books. I love reading so I was glad to do this task. Since I wasn't sure whether it should refer to the book content or maybe cover, I chose the easier option - the second one. I decided to use "The Death Instinct" by Jed Rubenfeld. Unfortunately, I haven't read it yet but if it's half as good as "The Interpretation of Murder" it must be great.

Koristila sam / I used:

Essence Studio Nails Pro White Hardener

Golden Rose Rich Color 16

Golden Rose Rich Color 76

China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le

China Glaze Hey Sailor

Essence gel-looking plumping top coat

Tačkalicu / Dotting tool

Sunđerčić / Sponge

Najpre sam nalakirala nokte bazom i teget plavim lakom. Na ćošak sunđera sam stavila malo belog laka pa nanosila po sredini nokta i to ponovila dva puta. Potom sam na samu ivicu sunđera stavila svetloplavi lak pa teget i preko opet tamnoplavi i nanosila ih između belog i teget laka. Na parče papira sam stavila malo crvenog laka. Tačkalicom sam crtala veće nepravilne tačke, a onda bih razvukla lak, da dobijem efekat mrlje koja treba da podseća na krv, čestu pojavu u knjigama koje čitam. Dodala sam i po koju tačkicu i na kraju nanela nadlak.

First I painted my nails with base coat and navy blue polish. On the corner of sponge I put some white polish and sponged it on the middle of the nail and I repeated that twice. Then I added a bit of light blue, navy and again light blue polish on the very edge of the sponge and applied it between navy and white polish. I put some red polish onto a piece of paper and used dotting tool to make big irregular dots and then I would drag the polish making the splatter effect which should remind of blood, which often appears in the books I read. I also added a few dots and then applied top coat. 

Moram priznati da sam zadovoljna krajnjim izgledom manikira iako mi je prvobitna ideja bila skroz nešto drugo. Kojim knjigama su druge devojke bile inspirisane, možete pogledati na linkovima na kraju članka. Hvala Vam što ste čitali. :)

I have to admit that I am very satisfied with the final look of the manicure even though my first idea was something completely different. You can check out which books inspired other girls on the links in the end of the post. Thank you for reading. :)
