Glistened Chocolate Shake

I started my mani today with Essence's Chocolate Shake from the Creamylicious TE. And then I looked at my nails and decided they need an upgrade :) So I tried out A new Essence polish Glisten Up! from their Colour&Go colection. I was sort of afraid that the colours would clash, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the result.

First: Chocolate Shake:




And then: Glisten Up! over Chocolate Shake





I love this polish. It's got silver glitter particles, tiny green glitter, greenish flakies.. And it dries super quickly. Gotta love it:)



I hate that I've been posting only pictures, taken with flash. But the weather is soooo depressing, I haven't seen sunshine in a while:( It must be all the volcanic ash:))

Jezik/Language

Imam eno vprašanje - opažam, da veliko slovenskih in tudi tujih bloggerk svoj blog piše samo v angleškem jeziku, ne pa tudi v svojem maternem. Tudi sama sem razmišljala o tem, saj mi dvojno pisanje nekako ne "potegne", pa verjetno škoduje tudi preglednosti objav. Kaj mislite - pisati v dveh jezikih ali lahko samo v angleščini?

I have a question - I noticed a lot of slovenian and also international bloggers write only in English, and not in their mother language as well. I've given this some thought, and I'm thinking of doing the same. Somehow I can't get used to writing the same thing twice, and it probably doesn't do anything for the layout and ease of reading of my posts. So, what do you think? Both languages, or is English only acceptable too?

Test - kateri lakci delujejo s konadom?

Kot sem že omenila, danes ni moj dan. Ker sem bila popolnoma neproduktivna, sem se odločila da poizkusim, kateri laki delujejo za konadiranje. Za nameček sem poskusila še konad z mat lakom od Jessice. Te slike nimam, ker se mi je ob izvajanju tega pol lakca polilo po računalniku, najljubši Dan D majici in po vsem, kar je bilo na mizi. Smrk smrk:(

As I mentioned before, today is not my day. And since I wasn't doing anything productive, I decided to try some polishes with konad plates. As an added bonus I tried konading with Jessica matte top coat, which failed miserably, because I spilled the polish over my computer, table and my favourite t-shirt from a local band :(

Pa da ne bom dolgovezila - sledijo slike. Na vseh nohtih sem uporabila Essence adorable (Pure Beauty LE) kot podlago.

So, to get to the pictures: I used Essence adorable (Pure Beauty LE) as a base on all nails.


Najprej platka - iz Essence Stampy seta.

H&M Mad about you

Ne morem verjeti da sem zbolela... Cela cotasta sem, naveličana sebe in vseh ostalih. Sem pa vesela, da sem končno dobila svoje prve H&M lakce, zahvala gre prijazni arsovki. Danes predstavljam prvega od treh - Mad about you. Lepa lila vijolična s srebrnim šimrom, ki se pokaže kot rahlo holo. Potrebna sta bila dva sloja za prekrivnost, posušil pa se je ekstra hitro. Definitivno bo še velikokrat pristal na mojih nohtih! Žal slik na soncu nimam, ker ga (še vedno) ni:(

I can't believe it - I'm sick! I feel like s**t, I'm tired of myself and everybody else. But I'm happy that I got my first H&M polishes yesterday. I present: Mad about you. A lovely lilac with a silver shimmer, that shows up as a little holo. It took two coats, and dried extra quickly. It'll definetly land on my nails again. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures in the sunshine, but sadly there still isn't any.

Catrice Pastel blue

Žal sem zadnje čase popolnoma zakopana v delo in nimam časa objavljati. Prišlo je celo do te mere, da sem danes šla na neko zadevo z veliko ljudmi z nenalakiranimi nohti *gasp* Našla pa sem eno malo starejšo slikico lakca, ki mi je nekje srednje všeč. Barva je ok, nanos in sušenje pa me nista preveč navdušila. Gre za Catrice Pastel blue iz Pastel delight LE.

I'm sorry that i'm so swamped with work lately and I haven't got time to publish posts. I have so little time I actually attended a thing today with "naked" nails *gasps*. But I did find an old photo of a manicure with Catrice Pastel blue from the Pastel delight LE. I don't really like this polish, the colour is ok, but the application is a dread.





Še bonus slika: takole zgleda naša "zver" kadar se zrine na kavč:

Catrice Black Beauty

Danes moje nohte krasi Catrice lak, ki ni več v prodaji - Black Beauty. Če bi vedela, da so laki iz serije 60 second nail couture tako super, bi si jih vse nakupila ko sem imela priložnost, tako pa imam doma žal samo dva. No, o tem laku: čopič je malo sploščen in ravno prav dolg, da je nanos čista poezija. Na slikah se vidi, kako lepo mi ga je uspelo nanesti - nobenega clean-upa:) Nanesla sem dva sloja, a bi z malo potrpežljivosti in natančnosti najverjetneje zadostoval že en. Suši se ekspresno! Barva je prelepa, temno rjava z rdečkastimi in zlatimi bleščicami. V senci bleščanje sploh ni očitno, takoj ko lak pride na vsaj malo svetlobe pa dobi neverjetno globino in blesk. Torej, slike:

Today I have Catrice Black Beauty as my NOTD - it's a polish that's gone out of sale. If I knew this line of polishes was so great, I would have bought all of them when I had the chance. Now sadly I only own two. Sometnih about the polish itself: the brush is slightly flattened and just the right lenght - I managed to apply the polish neatly, as you can see on the pictures. No clean-up neccessary:) There are two lyers, but you could probably manage with only one if you have the patience and precision it takes. It also dries very quickly. The colour is beautiful, a dark brown with shimmer in gold and red, that just comes alive when in the light. So, the photos:

Malo prej pa sem se odločila za velik eksperiment - po dolgem času sem spet poiskala konad škatlico. Uporabila sem Essence Romeo in konad platko m56. Tole je rezultat:

Just now i decided to conduct a big experimet - after a long time I took out my konad box. I used Essence Romeo and konad m56 plate. And the result is:

CCUK - Sugared lilac

Eno izmed mojih odkritij med brskanjem po policah drogerije Tuš - CCUK laki za nohte. Cena je zelo ugodna, približno 1,5€. Kupila sem dva odtenka, danes predstavljam Sugared Lilac. Do tega laka sem razvila resen odnos ljubezni in sovraštva. Barva je prelepa, nanos tudi. Sovražim pa, da je potrebno za prekrivnost nanesti vsaj 3 sloje, četrti ne bi škodil. Sovražim tudi, da eno uro po nanosu še vedno ni popolnoma suh. Ali je vredno trpeti minuse zaradi barve, pa presodite sami.

One of my discoveries while browsing in a local drugstore - CCUK polishes. The price is very low, around 1,5€ for a bottle. I bought two shades, today I have for you Sugared Lilac. I developed a serious love/hate relationship with this polish. I love the colour, I love the application. But I hate the fact that it needs at least three coats to be opaque, a fourth layer would'n be too much. And I hate that it's still not completely dry an hour after application. I'll let you decide if the colour is worth the hassle.
