Matching Manicures Sunday: Winter Wonderland

Hvatam poslednji voz da se priključim nedeljnom zadatku, čija je tema ovog puta zimska čarolija. Ovaj pojam me je oduvek asocirao na krajolike sa snegom, sankanje, druženje po snegu... Moram da spomenem i istoimenu pesmu bez koje zima ne može da mi prođe.

I am using these last moments to join this week's matching manicures whose theme is winter wonderland. When it comes to winter wonderland I always first think of snowy scenery, sledding, people hanging in the snow... Also, I have to mention the song of the same name - my winter can't pass without it.  

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by Pinterest

Kao što iz naslova možete videti, ove nedelje inspiraciju za manikire tražimo na Pinterestu. Znala sam koju kombinaciju boja hoću pa mi je pretraga bila olakšana. Originalan manikir možete pogledati ovde.

As you can see from the title, this week we are looking for the inspiration on Pinterest. I knew which colour combination I wanted to use so my search was easier. The original manicure you acn see here. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: V manicure

Drugi put u okviru usklađenih manikira radimo nokte sa V dezenom. Moj prethodni manikir možete pogledati ovde. 

For the second time we are doing a V manicure for the matching manicures. You can see my last manicure here.

Novembar 2016.

Za razliku od prošlog meseca u kom nisam ništa kupila, ovoga puta imam šta da vam pokažem.

Unlike last month when I didn't buy a single thing, this time I do have some things to show you.

Matching Manicures Sunday: Match Your Outfit

Tokom ove nedelje nokte upaujemo sa odećom. Mojim ormanom dominira siva i crna odeća, nešto bordo i u novije vreme teget. Ipak, jednom prilikom sam nosila plavi kombinezon u kombinaciji sa par srebrnih detalja. Otuda je manikir za današnji članak upravo ovakav.

During this week we are matching our manicures with our outfits. Most of my clothes is black and grey, there are some maroon as well as navy. However, once I wore a kind of blue jumpsuit combined with silver details. So today's manicure is just like that.

The Matching Manicures: Peach Nails

Za razliku od prošle nedelje, ove uspevam da se priključim usklađjenim manikirima. Tema su nokti u boji breskve i kako se radi o lakovima koje nemam i ne nosim, zamalo da preskočim temu ali sam se setila jednog laka koji uzeh još prošlog leta pa reših da ga ovom prilikom isprobam.

Unlike last week, this one I managed to join the matching manicures. The topic are peach nails and I almost skipped the task since these are the polishes I don't have nor wear but then I remember I actually have one that I bought last summer so I decided to use it now.

Matching Manicures Sunday: Dots

Tačkanje smatram zaista jednom od najjednostavnijih tehnika za ukrašavanje noktiju jer sve što zahteva jesu tačkalica (ili adekvatna zamena), željene boje i malo mašte. Obično mi uvek zafali poslednja stavka pa odustanem od tačkica (mada ste imali više puta priliku da ih vidite kod mene na blogu) ali sam se za ovaj usklađjeni manikir potrudila i kreirala nešto inovatniji manikir nego inače.

I consider dotting one of the simplest nail art techniques because all it requires are dotting tool (or a proper substitute), wanted colours and a bit of imagination. I usually luck the last thing so I easily give up on dots (although you have had the chance to see several dotticures on my blog) but for this matching manicure I tried harder and created a manicure more innovative than usually.

Manikir za Noć veštica #2

Juče ste u okviru usklađenih manikira već mogli videti jedan manikir inspirisan Noći veštica, a danas ću vam pokazati još jedan na ovu temu. 

Yesterday you could see a manicure inspired by Halloween created for the matching manicures, and today I will show you another one. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: Halloween

Ovonedeljni usklađeni manikiri su posvećeni Noći veštica. Volim manikire ovog tipa tako da sam se radovala zadatku.

This week's matching manicures are dedicated to Halloween. I like manicures of this kind so I was very happy about this task. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: Teal

Ove nedelje tema usklađenih manikira su teal odnosno petrolej lakovi. Petrolej lakovi su mi omiljeni pored ljubičastih i za svaki koji imam tvrdim da se razlikuje od drugih (iako se ljudi u mojoj okolini ne slažu sa mnom). :D

This week's matching manicures topic are teal polishes. Teal polishes are my favourite besides the purple ones and I can firmly say that each one I have is different than the others (although people around me disagree). :D

Matching Manicures Sunday: Leaves

Prošle nedelje smo krenule da pratimo novu seriju temu u okviru usklađenih manikira, a danas je na redu lišće. 

We created a new series of prompts for the matching manicures and the today's one are the leaves. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: Favourite Nail Polish

Ove nedelje imamo vrlo zanimljivu temu jer treba da nalakiramo omiljeni lak. Tema je naizgled jednostavna, ali uopšte nije tako lako odabrati jedan lak kad si lakoholičarka sa par stotina primeraka u svojoj kolekciji. No, za divno čudno, s obzirom da sam po prirodi neodlučna, od samog početka sam znala koji ću lak predstaviti ovom prilikom - China Glaze Fairy Dust. U roku od par nedelja sam ga čak dva puta mazala, što se kod mene jaaaako retko dešava, a i oduševljena sam njime tako da se nisam premišljala ni sekunde.

This week we have a very interesting topic since we have to apply our favourite polish. At first the prompt seems to be simple, but it is not easy to pick just one polish when you are an polishaholic with a couple of hundreds of polishes in your collection. But, luckily, considering I am indecisive, from the very beginning I knew which polish to represent this time - China Glaze Fairy Dust. In a couple of weeks I painted it on my nails twice, and that's the thing which happens really rarely to me. Besides that, I am thrilled with it so I had no second thoughts even for a second. 

Septembar

Matching Manicures Sunday: Honour nails you love

Tokom ove godine smo u okviru Usklađenih manikira pratile tridesetjednodnevni izazov (31 day challenge) i ova nedelja je rezervisana za poslednju temu - Honour nails you love. Podrazumeva da odaberemo jedan od manikira urađenih tokom izazova i rekreiramo ga. Odlučila sam se za jednostavni manikir koji je uradila Anamarija sa bloga Mean Green Queen.

During this year we have followed 31 day challenge for the matching manicures and this week is reserved for the last topic - honour nails you love. It means we have to choose one of the manicures done during the challenge and recreate it. I have chosen a mani done by Anamarija from Mean Green Queen blog. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by a Tutorial

Iako se već približava nova nedelja sa novim zadatkom, uspevam da se pridružim aktuelnoj temi. Ovoga puta imamo nezahtevan zadatak s obzirom da inspiraciju tražimo među postojećim tutorijalima.

The new Sunday with new task is coming but I manage to join the current topic. This time we have a non-demanding task since we are searching for the inspiration among nail art tutorials.

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by Supernatural

Tokom leta smo napravile pauzu sa izradom usklađenih manikira ali se sada vraćamo nedeljnim zadacima i to sa temom natpirodnih pojava. Natprirodne pojave me ne privlače, više volim da se držim nauke i činjenica. Iz tog razloga trebalo mi je dosta vremena da smislim današnji manikir.

We made a pause with matching manicures during summer but now we're back to Sunday tasks with supernatural theme. Supernatural things have never attracted me, I prefer sticking to science and facts. That's the reason it took me a lot of time to think up today's manicure. 

Jul i avgust - noviteti

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by a Flag

Nedeljni zadatak je bio da na nokte prenesemo neku zastavu. Isprva sam htela da uradim manikir zasnovan na zastavi nekog udruženja ili organizacije ali sam tu ideju odbacila zbog nedostatka inspiracije i okrenula se sigurnoj verziji. 

The Sunday's task was to "transfer" a flag onto the nails. First I wanted to do a manicure based on a flag of an association or organisation but I had no inspiration so I dropped off that idea and did the safe version. 

Golden Rose Ice Chic 60

Već sam vam pisala o jednom laku iz Ice Chic linije koju je Golden Rose izbacio krajem prošle godine. Slažem se sa mišljenjem mnogih da je ova linija po bojama mnogo slična prethodnim ali sam pronašla još jedan lak kakav nemam. Za cenu od 130 dinara dobijate 11 mililitara proizvoda spakovanih u lepu bočicu.

I have already written about one polish from Ice Chic line from Golden Rose which appeared in the end of last year. I agree with opinion of many people that the colours of this line look like those in previous ones but I managed to find one shade I don't have. For the price you pay, you get 11 millilitres of product which are packed in nice bottles.

Essence The Metals 35 rock my soul

Hlad / Shade

Pre koji mesec, nakon zimskog čišćenja Essence asortimana, na police su stigli noviteti. Među njima je i aktuelna I <3 Trends linija - The Metals. Od cele kolekcije, do nas je došlo šest nijansi od kojih mi je svega jedna bila dovoljno zanimljiva da je odmah kupim. Lakovi dolaze u bočicama od 8 mililitara, imaju srednje široku, ravno sečenu četkicu i koštaju 239 dinara. 

Direktno sunce / Direct sunlight

A few months ago, after winter "clean up" of the Essence assortment, new products finally came to Serbian drogeries. Among them is a current I <3 Trends line - The Metals. Six shades arrived to Serbia and only one was enough interesting to me to buy it. The polishes come in 8-ml-bottles with medium wide, straight cut brush. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by an Artwork

Za ovonedeljni manikir inspiraciju tražimo među umetničkim delima, a ja sam svoju našlu u slici pod nazivom In a Dilemma autorke Sam Freek. 

For this week's manicure we are looking for inspiration among artworks and mine is a picture called In a Dilemma by Sam Freek.

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by a Pattern + Diamond Glitter (Born Pretty Store)

Ove nedelje radimo manikire inspirisane uzorcima. Moram piznati da varam objavljivanjem manikira koji sam odavno uradila, ali uklapa mi se u temu.

This week we are doing manicures inspired by a patter.n I have to admit that I am cheating by posting an old manicure but it fits the topic. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by Fashion

Nastavlja se serija manikira "inspirisan ...". Ovoga puta se radi o modi koju ne pratim uopšte ali nisam htela da preskačem zadatak pa sam se bacila u potragu za idejom.

The series of Inspired by ... manicures continues. This time it is fashion which I am not keen on at all but I didn't want to skip the task so I started searching for an idea.

Maj i jun - noviteti

Tokom maja meseca noviteta je bilo jako malo pa nisam htela da o njima pišem poseban članak već sam ostavila da ih spojim sa junskim. Na kraju sam tokom juna još manje stvari kupila tako da ideja o spajanju noviteta se i nije ispostavila kao tako loša.

During the month of May there were really few new products so I didn't want to write separate post but left them to join them with those from June. I bought even less things in June so the idea of joining the new products didn't show to be that bad in the end.

Aura Jelly top coat (novi) + poređenje sa starim

Pre par meseci je Aura mnoge lakoholičarke obradovala vešću da vraćaju u prodaju Jelly nadlak. I sama sam jedna od njih tako da sam prvom prilikom nabavila svoj primerak. Novi Jelly je spakovan u istu bočicu od 11 mililitara kao i čitava Amazingly Resistant linija. Četkica je ravno sečena, velika i okrugla. Matirani sloj na površini čepa se lako guli pa bi valjalo pripaziti ukoliko pridajete značaj izgledu bočice. Cena ovog nadlaka je 319 u Lilly-ju odnosno 329 dinara u DM-u. O prvobitnom Jelly sam već ukratko pisala, a članak možete pročitati ovde.

A couple of motnhs ago, Aura made many of us happy informing us that Jelly top coat was back in production. I am one of those so I used the first chance to get my copy. New Jelly is packed in the same 11-ml-bottle as whole Amazngly Resistant line. The brush is straight cut, big and round. The matte surface of the cap is easy to scratch so you should be careful if the bottle appereance is important to you. I have written before about the original Jelly and you can read that article here.

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by Book

Nakon dve malo nezgodne teme, sledi jedna koja mi je lakše pala. Za razliku od prošlog puta kada smo radili manikire inspirisane knjigom, Crno sunce jesam pročitala, ali što se inspiracije tiče zadržala sam se na samom naslovu i koricama knjige. 

After two tasks which weren't easy to me, it is time for one that I am more familiar with. Unlike the last time we did manicures inspired by book, this one, I did read The Black Sun but when it comes to the inspiration I sticked to the title and cover.

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by Movie

Ove nedelje imamo temu koja mi je još teže pala od prethodne, a to su filmovi. Filmove volim da gledam, iako sad nikako nemam vremena, i to su uglavnom trileri i kriminalistički koji baš nisu inspirativni za ukrašavanje noktiju. Posle podužeg razmišljanja, na pamet mi pade Frozen, koji niti sam gledala, niti planiram, niti inače takve filmove gledam, ali dešavaju se čuda. :D 

This week's topic is very challenging to me, even more than the last one, and it's the movies. I do like watching movies, even though I don't have time now, and usually I watch thrillers and crime movies which are not really nail art inspiring. After a lot of thinking, Frozen came to my mind which I've never seen or tend to, I don't even like these movies but here I am. :D

Mathcing Manicures Sunday: Inspired by Song

Tokom poslednjih nedelju dana sam imala baš puno obaveza, a i tema za usklađene manikire je malo nezgodna tako da je moj tek sada urađen. Radi se o manikiru inpirisanim pesmom koji daje relativno dosta prostora za rad ali zahteva po meni i kreativnost. Jedva sam smislila šta ću da radim da bih se u poslednjem trenutku predomislila čuvši pesmu koju nisam ni znala da imam na listi pesama.

During past week I had a lot of work to do and also the topic for the matching manicures is a bit difficult so mine wasn't done until now. It is a manicure inspired by a song which gives you relatively a lot of space but still demands some creativity. I barely managed to think up what to create and in the last minute I changed my mind having heard a song I didn't even know I had on my play list. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: Inspired by Colour

Ove nedelje manikire zasnivamo na određenoj boji, a ja sam se odlučila za plavu. Ne mogu reći da su mi plavi lakovi baš najomiljeniji (mada su neke nijanse pri samom vrhu), izbor je bio spontan.

This week our manicures are based on a colour and I decided to go for blue. I can't say that blue polished are my most favourite ones (although some shades are on my top list), the choice was spontaneous.

Matching Manicures Sunday: Water Marble

Tehnika koja mnogima u svetu ukrašavanja noktiju zadaje glavobolju jeste vodeno mramoriranje. Svega tri puta sam do sada radila ovakve maniire, a prethodni pokušaj možete pogledate ovde. 

The technique which gives many nail artists headaches is water marbling. I've done it only three times so far and you can see my previous attempt here.

Matching Manicures Sunday: Galaxy Nails

Trend u ukrašavanju noktiju koji ne gubi na popularnosti jesu nokti inspirisani galaksijom. Zapravo sebi nikada nisam radila ovakav manikir, ali jesam jednom sestri. Tema jesta uska ali istovremeno pruža slobodu, no ja sam se ovoga puta držala jednostavnosti. 

A nail art trend which doesn't stop being popular is galaxy nails. I have actually never done these before for myself, just once for my sister. The topic is specific but allows a lot of freedom. However, I stiked to simplicity this time. 

Matching Manicures Sudany: Halfmoons

Polumesec manikir je vrsta relativno jednostavnog manikira koji se može uraditi na više načina - pomoću trakica, tankom četkicom ili čak četkicom iz laka. Nikad ranije nisam radila ovakakv manikir i sada sam pokušala da komplikujem stvari, a o čemu se radi možete pogledati u nastavku. 

Halfmoon manicure is a relatively simple manicure which can be done in various ways - using tip guides, thin brush or even just using polish brush. I had never done this kind of manicure before and now I tried to complicate things; keep reading I you want to see what it is about. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: Glitter

Ako nešto volim na noktima, to su šljokice. Moram priznati da ih ne nosim toliko često jer ipak treba stići isprobati i razne druge efekte i finiše...

If I love something on my nails, it's glitter. However, I have to admit that I don't use glitter that much because other finishes and effects are waiting to be tried out... 

April

Matching Manicures Sunday: Geometric + Laser Foil (Born Pretty Store)

Još jednom za nedeljni zadatak radimo manikire na temu geometrije. Po pitanju samog dizajna nisam odmakla puno u odnosi na prethodni manikir, samo sam sada koristila ukrasnu foliju umesto selotejp trake. 

Once again we are doing geometric nails for our Sunday task. When it comes to the design itself, I didn't make any progress comparing to the previous manicure, I just used nail art foil this time instead of sellotape. 

Matching Manicures Sunday: Delicate Print

Ove nedelje kasnim sa objavljivanjem usklađenog manikira iako je urađen pre izvesnog vremena. Tema je delicate print, a nisam bila naročito inspirisana pa sam se držala prve asocijacije - čipke. Upustila sam se u crtanje slobodnom rukom, a na kraju sam dizajn mi i ne liči baš na čipku ali sam zadovoljna izgledom manikira.

This week I am late with posting the matching manicure even though it was done some time ago. The topic is delicate print and I wasn't really inspired so I sticked to my first association - the lace. I did some freehanding and in the end the design doesn't look like lace but I am still satisfied with the final looks.

Matching Manicures Sunday: Flowers

Već nekoliko puta su se u okviru usklađenih manikira radili cvetni manikiri, a ja sam dva puta učestvovala (klik i klik). Odmah ću priznati da sam ovoga puta varala, odnosno objavljujem manikir koji sam uradila još odavno, no kratka sam sa vremenom da bih radila drugi.

Floral manicures have already been done several times as the matching manicures prompt, and I have participated twice (click and click). I'll admit straight away that I cheated this time because I am posting pictures of a manicure I did some time ago, but I don't have enough time these days to do another one.
