Bejeweled Nails

Revelique Nail Art Set is a cheap and cheerful set of different manicure ornaments. A total of 6×20(pcs) different shapes consists of circles, tear drops, flowers, leaves, hearts and stars (set costs $4,75). It looks perfectly alluring and I have so many ideas on how to use them. This time I've opted to go for humble circular nail jewels. I've opted to apply them almost along the middle of the edge of my nails. This particular nail art set comes with an orange stick and a plastic wand with a pinky, flat rubber top. That top is perfect for picking up these small shapes and forms from the nail art palette. One tip – I discovered how this rubber top does its job perfectly if you're picking up a nail jewel from a plastic surface. Any other surface makes things a bit more complicated. The nail art palette is of a simple build – you rotate the clear top with an opening you position over the pot of shapes you prefer. I was an ape and tried to shift the clear lid upwards (curiosity got the best of me) so some of the nail jewels got moved all around.

Revelique Nail Art Set je pristupacan i veseo set razlicitih ukrasa za manikir. U setu se nalazi po 20 komada ukupno 6 razlicitih oblika a to su kruzici, suzice, cvjetici, listici, srca i zvjezdice (cijena seta je 6,85KM). Sve te minijaturne drangulije djeluju primamljivo i toliko imam ideja kako da ih iskoristim. Ovog puta sam se odlucila za skromne kruzice. Pozicionirala sam ih na sredini nokta, skoro uz sami njegov rub. Uz set se dobije i stapica narandzinog drveta te plasticni stapic koji ima ravan, gumenast vrh ruzicaste boje. On je idealan za prikupljanje, podizanje i nanosenje ukrasnih kamencica na nokte. Jedna stvar – primjetila sam da ovaj stapic odlicno funkcionise za prikupljanje ukrasa sa plasticne podloge no ukoliko  je kamencic ispao na pod, tkaninu i sl. – lakse ga je podici prstima pa ponovo pokusati. Sama paleta u kojoj se nalaze svi ukrasni kamencici je jednostavne gradje – kruznog je oblika i poklopac je proziran. Ima mali otvor koji rotiranjem mozete pomjeriti iznad ukrasa koji vas zanimaju. Bila sam pravi grubijan i pokusala sam vidjeti da li se poklopac moze potpuno skinuti sto je rezultiralo pomjeranjem ukrasa po paleti (ja i moja znatizelja…).

The way I made my bejeweled manicure is that I picked up five different nail polishes – each for one nail. I went for Revelique nail polishes because I wanted to test out how this nail art set works together with them. I decided to apply Revelique High Shine Nail Polish in Mermaid (80) on my thumbs, Poetry Slam (160) ended on my index finger, nails on middle fingers were coated with Adrenalin (40), ring fingers with Good Night! (90) and Berry Mix (130) was awarded to little fingers and nails. Each nail polish costs $4,75, just like the nail art set. Out of all hues, grege Poetry Slam is my firm favorite and I'm in love with sumptuous Berry Mix . Shocking Adrenaline is a jelly, shiny and fiery red but on every single shot it looks heavily neon. It is the most sheer of all. I applied two coats of each nail polish and while the second coat was still tacky, I picked up the circle jewels (one by one) with the pink rubber tip and placed them on my nails. The tricky part is that you have to know where precisely you want your nail jewels to go because you only have one shot at placing them right. Daunting task as it may seem but if my clumsy hands succeeded, than everyone could. I applied a clear top coat over each nail to secure my sparkly accents and I was left with a blingy, colorful manicure. I'd love to pair it with an all-black ensemble. I might just do that. Afternoon well-spent, I'd say.

Manikir sa fotografija sam kreirala tako sto sam odabrala pet razlicitih lakova za nokte – svaki za po jedan nokat. Koristila sam Revelique lakove ponajvise kako bih testirala koliko se ovi ukrasi uopste slazu sa njima. Da uopsteno vidim kako sve to skupa izgleda. Revelique High Shine lak za nokte u nijansi Mermaid (80) je zavrsio na palcu, Poetry Slam (160) na kaziprstu, srednjak je nalakiran nijansom Adrenalin (40), prstenjak sa Good Night! (90) dok je  Berry Mix
(130) nijansa dodijeljena malom prstu (tj.noktu). Svaki od navedenih lakova kosta 6,85KM – jednako kao i nail art set kamencica. Od svih navedenih nijansi, meni je najdrazi specificni grege lak Poetry Slam dok sam zaljubljena i u socnu Berry Mix nijansu. Sokantni Adrenaline lak je sjajni (poput zelea) crveni lak za nokte koji na svakoj fotografiji ispadne agresivni neonac. Takodjer je i najprozirnije teksture od svih. Nanijela sam dva sloja svakog laka i dok je drugi sloj jos bio ljepljiv, pokupila sam (jedan po jedan) kruzne kamencice stapicem koji ima gumenasti vrh te ih njezno polozila na nokte. To je zahtjevalo nesto koncentracije no, ako su moji smotani prstici uspjeli, svatko ce moci. Na kraju sam ukrase zastitila slojem prozirnog nadlaka te sam dobila sjajnu visebojnu manikuru. Voljela bih kombinovati ove zivahne nokte sa outfitom crne boje, od glave do pete. Upravo bih to mogla i uciniti. Rekla bih da je ovo bilo dobro utroseno poslijepodne.
