Milani Hi-tech

Ovo mi je zadnji swatch prije puta pa neka bude nešto sunčano. S ovakvim lakom na noktima jednostavno je nemoguće biti u depri :D. Milani Hi-tech je žutozeleni holo formule slične lakovima iz China Glaze Kaleidoscope kolekcije. Inače nisam neki obožavatelj žute boje ali ova nijansa začudo lijepo stoji i uz moj ton kože. Otkako sam otkrila Nfu Oh Aqua base ni ne pokušavam nanositi holo lak bez te baze tako da ne znam koliko bi slojeva Hi-techa trebalo bez nje. Na ovim fotkama sam napravila "holo sendvič", najviše zbog produženja postojanosti: Aqua Base, Hi-tech, Hi-tech, Aqua Base, Hi-tech. Hi-tech se suši ne brzo već odmah tako da i 5 slojeva ne bi bio problem. To je sve za sad, sljedeći post slijedi tek nakon 12.4. tako da ću prvi rođendan svog blogića koji je 4.4. proslaviti u Francuskoj. Imam poveći wishlist spreman, ako nađem 10% lakića s popisa bit ću happy. 8->

This is the last swatch before my trip so I wanted something sunny. You just can't wear this and feel down :D. Milani Hi-tech is yellow-green (can I say it like that?! ) holo and has a formula similar to China Glaze kaleidoscopes. I'm not a huge fan of this type of color but this shade actually goes well with my skin tone. Since I discovered Nfu Oh Aqua base I didn't even try to apply a holographic polish without it so I can't speak of it's opacity. I did a "holo sandwich" here, mostly to improve wear, it's: Aqua Base, Hi-tech, Hi-tech, Aqua Base, Hi-tech. Since Hi-tech dries almost instantly I don't think 5 coats wouldn't be a problem. That's all for now, I'll do another post sometime after April 12 so I'll be celebrating my first blogiversary in France. I have a huge wishlist prepared but I'll be happy if I find 10% of the polishes on the list. 8->

Milani Totally cool

Iskoristit ću ovaj kišni sivi dan i staviti jedan stari zimski swatch (opet s čevapčićima nažalost :D). Jelly sa sitnim glitterom jedan mi je od najdražih finiša, zapravo - jedna od najdražih kombinacija finiša. Volim kako se dodavanjem slojeva dobiva dubina sa šljokicama koje sjaje ispod indigo baze - divno. :x Na fotkama su tri sloja, no Totally cool se suši relativno brzo pa to nije problem. Poslije sam dodala sloj China Glaze Fairy dust, totalno suvišan moram priznati, ali morala sam i to isprobati.

This gray and rainy day is a good chance to post some old winter swatches (with nubbins again, unfortunately :D ). Jelly + microglitter is one of my favorite finishes, or shall I say - combination of finishes. I love it how the layers add depth to it and how the glitter shines through the indigo base - gorgeous. :x There are three layers in these pics, but Totally cool dries pretty fast so it wasn't a problem. Later I added a coat of China Glaze Fairy dust, totally unnecessary I admit, but I had to try it.

The travelling nail polish: Manhattan 610K

Jeee, stigao je! :D Nadala sam se da će swatchevi biti ljepši ali budući da mi je taman prije njegovog dolaska puknuo nokat, nisam baš imala izbora - slikat samo tri nokta (što mi izgleda prilično čudno) ili ga pofotkat na ovim čevapčićima. Sorry! Manhattan 610K mi je predivan i sam, zagasito ljubičasti krem lakić koji se nanosi u jednom sloju, ali ima li što ljepše od kombinacije ljubičastog laka i flakieja?  :x U paketiću s lakićem dolazi i mali svitak s imenima svih blogerica koje je posjetio a Annie mi je u paketić dodala i par slatkiša - čokoladicu i finski slatkiš - slatki tj. slani korijen. Hvala, Annie! :)
A sad je vrijeme da se i vi prijavite - želite li da ovaj lakić posjeti i vas, prijavite se do četvrtka 31.3. (razlog što dajem tako kratak rok je kako bi ga mogla poslati odmah u petak, prije nego što odem na put). Jedini uvjet je da imate blog, da - i da 610K još nije bio kod vas. U komentar napišite adresu vašeg bloga i vašu zemlju i u petak ću na random.org izvući pobjednika.

Yay, it has arrived! :D Sadly, the nail on my left index broke just before it arrived so it was either - do weird 3-nail swatches (which looks really weird) or file them all and show you the nubbins. Sorry about that. I love Manhattan 610K alone it's a gorgeous royal purple creme one-coater, but I just looove a purple + flakies combo. :x Along with the polish, there was also a scroll in the package with the names of all the bloggers it has visited and Annie also added some candy - a chocolate bar and a Finnish specialty - salty licorice. Thanks, Annie! :)

Now is your chance - if you'd like this beauty to visit you too - enter by this Thursday, March 31st (so I could ship it to you Friday, before my trip). The only requirement is that you own a blog and that 610K didn't visit you yet. Enter your blog address and your country and I will draw the winner on random.org on Friday. Good luck everyone!

Layering: China Glaze Kaleidoscope him out over OPI Sonic bloom

Konačno, malo proljetnih boja... Nažalost, neće ih baš biti puno jer mi je jučer pukao nokat na kažiprstu i ostaje mi samo postanje starih zimskih swatcheva. Šmrc... ;( OPI Sonic bloom je tirkizni lakić sedefastog/bisernog finiša. U bočici se prelijeva iz tirkizne u lila ali to se nekako izgubi na noktu. Iako mi je boja lijepa, nikako mi ne sjeda ovaj finiš pa sam morala dodati mali holo bonus - China Glaze Kaleidoscope him out. Sad je puno bolje ;). Sviđa mi se kako se ispod holo sloja i dalje nazire zelenkasti odsjaj Sonic blooma.

Finally some spring colors. Unfortunately, there won't be many more in the next week or so since the nail on my left index finger broke and I'm left with posting only old winter swatches... ;(. OPI Sonic bloom is a turqoise with a pearl finish. In the bottle it shows some lilac duochrome but that dissapears once you apply it. Although I love the color, I'm not that fond of pearl finish so I had to add some holo to it - China Glaze Kaleidoscope him out. Much better! ;) I love how the green flash of Sonic bloom still shows under the holo.

Nubar Wildlife

Nešto zeleno... za dan Sv. Patrika :). Nemam baš puno zelenih lakova i tek ih polako otkrivam (u ovom postu na Vampyvarnish sam našla bar 10 koje želim), ali evo jednog od meni najdražih. Mislim da bi i bez naslova i fotke bočice mogli pogoditi da je ovo Nubar. Wildilfe je jedan od onih duochrome lakova koje je samo Nubar mogao stvoriti - maslinastozelena koja se prelijeva u roskasto-brončanu - savršenstvo! :x Tri sloja i sloj nadlaka.
And now... something green for St Patrick's day :)! I don't own many greens and I'm just starting to discover new shades (found at least 10 for my wishlist in this post by Vampy Varnish), but here's one of my favorites. I think you could guess this is a Nubar even if it wasn't in the title or visible on the bottle. This is one of Nubar's unbelievable duochromes - olive green that shifts to pinkish bronze - perfection! :x This is 3 coats and a coat of tc.

Quick update & Flormar 21& Manhattan 610K

Jedan brzinski post i swatch - samo da javim da sam živa :D. Opet me bila uhvatila neka prehlada pa sam bila out danima. Za danas imam prvi proljetni i sunčani swatch... konačno! Na fotkama je Flormar 21 u kojeg sam se zaljubila kad sam prvi put ugledala swatch na Emeraldsparkled. I da vas podsjetim da je još 4 dana do završetka mog šljokičavog giveawaya - ako želite sudjelovati, prijavite se ovdje. I još nešto, jeste li čule za putujući lakić? Uglavnom, ideje se dosjetila Kesha - Manhattan 610K je lakić koji je krenuo iz Njemačke i putuje po svijetu a za iduću destinaciju na blogu Polish this! izabran je moj sandučić :). Kad stigne stavit ću swatch na blog i pozvati vas da se prijavite za iduću destinaciju.

Just a quick update to let you know I'm still alive :D. I caught a cold again so I was pretty much disabled for days. Today I have a first spring and sunny swatch, yay! I fell in love with Flormar 21 when I saw it on Emeraldsparkled. And a giveaway reminder - if you want to participate in my glittery giveaway, there are still 4 days left to enter. And last but not the least - have you heard of the traveling polish? The idea came from Kesha from Nail Polish Obsession. Manhattan 610K started its journey in Germany and my mailbox was chosen for its next destination at Polish this! :). When it arrives, I will post a swatch and invite you to enter if you'd like to try it too.

Polish Drop 200 Followers Giveaway! - CLOSED

Giveaway, yay!! <:-P Polish drop ima 200 pratitelja - wow! Hvala vam svima na podršci i komentarima! >:D< Ovaj paketić je poprilično kasnio pa sam već mislila da ću morati odgoditi giveaway ali kao naručen je stigao u četvrtak! Budući da sam još prilično ošamućena od vađenja umnjaka, nadam se da nisam zeznula obrazac za prijavu. Budući da sam proglasila strogi no-buy i štedim za put u Pariz ovaj je giveaway malo skromniji nego što sam planirala.
Jednostavno je, ako želite osvojiti ova tri šljokasta slatkiša (Milani Purple gleam, Gold glitz i Silver dazzle - svi su novi i neisprobani):
1. Trebate biti pratitelj
2. Ukucajte svoj GFC nick i e-mail adresu u obrazac (prijave u komentarima neću računati).
To je to. Giveaway je otvoren svima i traje do 18. 3. u ponoć. Sretno svima! :)
Giveaway, yay!! <:-P I've reached 200 followers, wow! Thanks everyone for your support and comments! >:D<  This little package was so late I thought I would have to postpone the giveaway until I reach 250 or 300 followers, but it finally arrived on Thursday. Since I'm still a bit woozy from having a wisdom tooth removed last friday, hope I didn't mess up the entry form. Since I'm on a strict no-buy and I'm saving for my trip to Paris, this giveaway is a bit smaller than I planned.
The rules are simple - if you want to win these glittery goodies (Milani Purple gleam, Gold glitz and Silver dazzle - all are new and untried):

1. You must be a follower.

2. Enter your GFC nick and e-mail address in the form bellow (entries in comments won't be counted).

That's all. Giveaway is open internationally and it ends March 18th at midnight. Good luck, everyone! :)
