Terrible weather today in Sarajevo, namely, lots and lots of rain has fallen during the past 24h (approx 70mm/ litres per meter squared). That is pretty much enough to make small rivers such as Miljacka's riverbeds overflow. I have all people which homes are in danger in my mind today. Let us make an effort to pull out something positive out of this day. I am making my contribution in the form of a happy and playful manicure. In fact, this same mani I have created the day before yesterday and is going strong on my nails as I type this. I've finally got my hands on nail art stripping tape from bornprettystore.com and I have decided to make something new with it. I've paired it with my favorite nail polish colors – mint and blue. Of course that lots and lots of Essie nail polish is involved in my funny Mint Bunny Mani. A total of four Essie's, a Revelique sparkly top coat and Seche Vite top coat paired with my silver, reflective nail art tape were materials that I used. I am very happy with how this mani turned out and perhaps will do more in the future. What do you thik?
Grozno vrijeme imamo u Sarajevu a koliko znam teska je situacija i u Tuzli. Naime, mnogo je kise vec do sada palo a cini mi se da ce i dalje padati. Prema sadasnjim podacima, mislim da bi tek u subotu padavine mogle oslabiti na intenzitetu. U toku posljednja 24h je palo preko 70mm tj. litara po metru kvadratnom. To je sasvim dovoljno da se manje rijeke poput Miljacke izliju iz korita. O jos manjim rijecicama da ne govorim i moje misli su uz sve sugradjane pa i sire ciji su domovi ugrozeni zbog poplava. Pokusati cu da nesto pozitivno izvucem iz danasnjeg dana. Moj doprinos neka bude ovaj veseli manikir. Prekjucer sam radila na uljepsavanju noktica a i dok vam tipkam post mogu reci da se dobro drze i dizajn je svjez. Napokon sam dosla do trakica za nail art i jedva sam docekala da napravim nesto novo uz njihovu pomoc. Za ovu priliku sam ih iskombinovala sa meni omiljenim nijansama lakova za nokte – mentolastom i plavom. Naravno da sam koristila omiljene Essie lakove za kreiranje veselog manikira Mentolasti Zekan. Koristena su 4 Essie laka, Revelique svjetlucavi nadlak, Seche Vite nadlak i sjajna traka za nail art u srebrnoj boji koju sam nabavila sa stranice bornprettystore.com. Meni se dopada kako je sve ispalo no zanima me sta vi mislite? Da li bi bilo okej da slicne stvari objavljujem i ubuduce?
This is how this mani went down; I have applied Revelique Base & Top Coat (forgot to include it in photos) on all nails. Of course, I've thoroughly prepared them with buffing, oil conditioning and lots of hand cream prior to applying base coat. I've started by painting 2 coats of Essie Lapis Of Luxury nail polish. It's a gorgeous creamy periwinkle blue that is really pretty with 2 coats but sometimes the third one makes all the difference. Next, I've painted my ring finger nail with 2 coats of my new buy – Essie Bikini so teeny. Gorgeous, gorgeous light blue with the most subtle shimmer specks. It's described as a cornflower blue and sure it is – a very gentle interpretation. I've cut a small strip of the nail art tape I got from the bornprettystore.com and applied it a bit below my nail edge. Sealed it all with a coat of Seche Vite top coat. The real attention-grabber is the nail art on my middle finger. I've used the same tape and applied a strip over a bare nail with just top coat beneath (dry, obviously). Than I've painted the left half with Essie Mint Candy Apple and the right half with Essie Naughty Nautical. Two coats each than removed the nail art tape which revealed a bald line. I've filled it with a new, fresh piece of silver tape and sealed it with Seche Vite top coat.
Na slijedeci nacin sam kreirala onaj manikir; prvo sam nanijela na sve noktice sloj Revelique baznog laka i nadlaka (zaboravila sam ga uslikati). Naravno, prije njega sam detaljno pripremila ruke i nokte uz pomoc turpije, njegujuci nokte uljem i sa par slojeva kreme za ruke. Potom sam na najmanji noktic nanijela 2 sloja Essie Lapis Of Luxury laka za nokte. To je prekrasna svijetlo plava nijansa uz mrvicu lila tonova i jako je kremasta. Obicno su dovoljna 2 sloja no nekada je treci upravo to sto daje savrsen efekat. Nakon toga sam nalakirala noktic prstenjaka sa dva sloja fantasticnog Essie Bikini So Teeny. To je jedna od posljednjih Essie kupovina kod mene i zaista je posebne plave nijanse, prozete sitnim i decentnim shimmerom. Potom sam odrezala malu trakicu iz koluta trake za nail art a moja je srebrnkaste boje. Postavila sam je horizontalno, malo ispod same ivice nokta. Premazala sam sve slojem Seche Vite nadlaka i time zavrsila taj nokat. No prava atrakcija ovog manikira je srednji noktic. Na cist nokat, samo premazan baznim lakom sam vertikalno postavila komad spomenute trake za nail art. Lijevu polovicu nokta sam nalakirala sa Essie Mint Candy Apple a desnu sa Essie Naughty Nautical lakom. Dva sloja po svakoj polovici nokta a onda sam odmah po lakiranju odlijepila traku koja je ostavila prazan prostor koji dijeli te dvije polovice. Preko sam samo ponovila trakicu sa svjezim komadicem.Malo Seche Vite nadlaka i to je to.
Index finger nail was painted with Essie Mint Candy Apple (2x coats) than topped it off with the beautiful and interesting Revelique Glitter nail polish in Tiara. Mint Candy Apple is such a famous shade for a reason and it needs no introduction. It's really something. Such a unique mint that would look pretty on all nails. Tiara glittery top coat is such a beaut! I am falling in love with it all over again because it has such a subtle way. Makes any nail polish beneath pop. Finally, the thumb nail os painted with 2 coats of Essie Naughty Nautical. This turquoise which leans green is such a cute shade and the subtle shimmer adds interest. This one, along with Bikini So Teeny, will probably be my fave shades for spring/summer. A lick of Seche Vite top coat finished everything off. I cannot believe how many compliments this mani has already garnered. People react really well to it. Do you like it and would you recreate such a nail look?
Noktic kaziprsta je nalakiran sa Essie Mint Candy Apple (2x sloja) i preko njih sam nanijela jos sloj prekrasnog i nadasve zanimljivog Revelique svjetlucavog nadlaka pod nazivom Tiara. Mint Candy Apple je toliko poznata nijansa tako da nema potrebe trositi rijeci na njeno predstavljanje. Jednostavno je poseban i unikatan mentolasti lak koji pristaje svim nokticima. Tiara nadlak je takodjer vise nego lijep. Iznova sam se zaljubila u njega posto je tako suptilan i zenstven. I na kraju sam nokat palca nalakirala sa 2 sloja Essie Naughty Nautical laka. Ovaj tirkizni ljepotan koji naginje ka zelenom podtonu je jako lijep i mislim da bi djelovao genericno bez decentnog shimmera koji dijeli sa Bikini So Teeny. Te dvije nijanse ce sigurno biti vodece boje ljeta i proljeca kod mene. I naravno, nista se ne moze bez malo Seche Vite. Jos uvijek sam pod dojmovima zbog velike kolicine komplimenata koje sam dobila na racun ovog manikira. Ljudi zaista pozitivno reaguju na njega. Da li se vama dopada i da li bi i vi napravile nesto slicno na svojim noktima?
