Stamping plate QA19 review and nail art / Pločica za pečatiranje QA19, recenzija i nail art

Hello my dear nail art friends, I hope you're doing great =) 
Today I'll share with you a review of a Christmas  themed stamping plate that I've got from Born Pretty Store! 

Pozdrav moji dragi noktoljupci, nadam se da ste super =)
Danas ću podijeliti sa vama recenziju pločice za pečatiranje Božićne tematike, koju sam dobila sa Born Pretty Store-a!  



As you can see on the photo above, it has pretty much every design or image that's been usually done in this time of the year on our nails :D 
 Quality is great, I don't know if you ever tried any of the BPS plates but in my opinion they're in range with the MoYou London ones with much more acceptable price!
This one is on sale now and it retails for only 0,99$, it was $2,99 before!
Great deal!! (in my opinion)
 HERE is a direct link to it in case you're interested ;)

 Kao što možete vidjeti na slici gore, pločica uglavnom sadrži sve dezene koji se obično koriste za ukrašavanje noktiju u ovo doba godine :D
Odlične je kvalitete, ne znam ako ste ikad probali neku od pločica sa BPS-a ali po mome mišljenju one su u rangu sa onima od MoYou London ali sa puno prihvatljivijom cijenom!
Ova je trenutno na akciji i košta samo 0,99$, a bila je 2,99$!
Odlična  prilika!! (po mom mišljenju)
 Evo i direktan LINK do pločice u slučaju da vas interesira ;)


 I kinda wanted to put every design there is on my nails, so you can see how they look.
Only the black polish is for stamping, so I'm pretty happy how the other ones look!

Željela sam staviti sve dezene sa pločice na nokte da možete vidjeti kako izgledaju.
Samo je crni lak namijenjen za pečatiranje, tako da sam prilično zadovoljna kako su drugi ispali!

Polishes I've used / Lakovi koje sam koristila: 

Alpine snow - O.P.I (as a base / podloga)
Black stamping polish - Essence
The Spy Who Loved Me - O.P.I (red / crveni) 
 Flormar - M105 (brown / smeđi)
Sparkling seaweed - Northern Star Polish (green / zeleni) - REVIEW/ RECENZIJA 
 Space queen - Essence ( top coat)


 What do you think? Did you ever tried any of the BPS's stamping plates?

I kako vam se čini? Jeste li ikad probali neku od BPS pločica za pečatiranje?

MMS - Cartoon

Hello my friends, how are you? 
Today's assignment for the Matching Manicure Sunday is cartoon nail art, so I decided to recreate one that I first saw on cutepolish's channel!

 To be honest, I taught the assignment for this Sunday is something else and that's why I did this  easy and quick design (I didn't have enough time today to do something "better"). 


For this design I've used:

O.P.I - You're Such A Budapest 
O.P.I - Alpine Snow
Kiko - Black
Essie -  Good To Go Top Coat 
O.P.I - Matte Top Coat



First I've applied 4 coats of You're Such A Budapest, yep you'll need 3 to 4 coats for reach full opacity and to even things out. The formula is so watery and this is the only O.P.I polish that I've tried and don't like! I've bought it because the color is pretty and a LOT of bloggers and nail artist praised about it and recommended it,but it's really bad, at least for my taste :/
This is just second time I've used it, and I have it for months!! 
 Then I've done the black frame with Kiko black polish and striping brush, after that I've added white dot and stripe with dotting tool! 
I've put Essie's good to go first because my Matte top coat tends to smudge my art :/
Minute and few photos latter I added matte top coat and that was it =) 

Here's few shiny photos :



 And Matte ones:




And that's it =) What do you guys think? 
I like the way it looks on the nails :D

Goodbye Fall 2014. design!

Hello my friends, how are you doing? Today I'll show you last fall design that I did for this year. The temperature is getting lower everyday and snow is just about to come (in my country at least), so it's about time to say goodbye to fall and leaves and say hallo to snowflakes, snow and Christmas :D
What's the best way to say goodbye to fall then to do a nail art ;)) 


For this design I've used:

China Glaze - Dare To Be Bare 
O.P.I - Goldeneye  
Water decals from Moon Sugar Decals 
Essie - Good To Go top coat

First I've applied 2 coats of Dare To Be Bare, I waited for that to dry a little and then I put Goldeneye on the tips. For the best effect wipe almost all the polish from the brush and then apply small amount little above the center of your nail! Apply more polish on the tips so you get gradient glitter effect!


DARE TO BE BARE by China Glaze is a perfect milky color that I've been searching for a while now. I used 2 thin coats in the photos above! I think it can reach full opacity with 3 coats. 
It's perfect for french manicures or for the natural clean look! I love it!!

  

After my base dried out completely I applied water decals from Moon Sugar Decals.
They have over 150 different types of decals to chose from!
This ones retails for $3,99 for the whole sheet, shipping is free in the US and $2.99 for the rest of the world! 
You can check it out HERE!  

Autumn fall decals are perfect in shape and colors! As for any other water decals, you have to cut the desired image, put it into the water (room temperature) and wait for about 10-20 seconds until the image starts to separate from the white paper base!
Then you transfer it on the nail and, for this ones, you have to press and hold for a while. I've noticed that the best thing to do that is to take a peace of paper towel and press with that for about 30 seconds! 
After that, apply your favorite top coat and that's it! Perfect mani is done!!


They kinda look like real small leaves :D



 This was my goodbye from the fall 2014. 
I hope you liked the design and you'll try it someday :D

MMS: GRADIENT + stamping plate review

Hi guys, hope you're doing great =) 
I'm a day late for this weeks matching manicure Sunday, sorry  :/ . 
This week's theme is gradient and since it's already a December I decided to post a winter design.


This is the design that I applied for the "winter is coming" giveaway run by Ditta's nail art & design, I hope it'll bring me luck :D


 I've used :

POLISHES: 
1. O.P.I - Alpine Snow (white )
2. Gothic Gala Lacquers - Crush (light blue )
3. O.P.I - He Blue It This Time! (blue)
4. O.P.I - My Signature Is "DC" (silver )
5. Essence - Cool Breeze ( effect topper) 
6. Essence - stamping white polish 

 I've used 1.,2., and 3. for the gradient / ombre! 
I did and whole post/tutorial on how to do a gradient/ombre nails so if you don't know how , you can learn HERE!!

For the stamping (snowflakes) I've used 3., 4., and 6. 

TOOLS:
make-up sponge (for the gradient)
tape (to protect my nails and reduce cleaning up)
 stamping plate QA58 from Born Pretty Store
stamper and scraper
This is the plate I've used =) I must say it's perfect for this time of the year and a must have for any nail art / stamping lover! 
I pretty much used every snowflake there is on the plate, because I wanted to have all of them on my nails and because they are all different in the nature too so... 
It really made my life easier because I could never paint such small and perfect snowflakes freehanded! 
The quality of the plate itself is really good, even the smallest snowflakes transfer completely onto the nail. 
It retails for $2.99 and I highly recommend it to everyone who likes stamping!!
If you want you can use a 10% discount code HE10K31 
You can find this plate HERE!! 



So what do you think? I'm really happy how it turned out :D

Christmas/winter nail art #1

Hello my dearest nail art friends, how are you today?
Although I'm not at my Christmas/winter mood yet , I'll be showing you that kind of a mani today.
I received two GITD polishes from Parrot Polish that are perfect for this types of manicure so I just had to do it :D


As you probably already know, I love Parrot Polish I think they're actually my favorite indie nail polish brand =) 
I own quite few of their polishes and if you're interested you can see swatches in my previous posts!
  

Santa Glow - is a red cream with a coral undertone. Formula is perfect, amazingly smooth and opaque in ONE coat. I think this polish has the best formula from all the polishes I've ever tried!
Can't get better than this. It glows intense red and as the name says - it's perfect for this time of the year =) 


Grinch Glow - green polish with gold shimmer also perfect color wise for this time of the year. This one doesn't have as perfect formula as previous one, but its still good and manageable.
First coat is a bit streaky and patchy but the second one even things out. So 2 coats is all you'll need! Glows green!
Both polishes dries quickly  
  

Christmas tree is actually nail vinyl from Svenja's Nailart, find it HERE. She's a German nail artist that makes some amazing nail decals. She has all kind of different ones on her SHOP!
This ones retails for 3,60 $



Overall, I love the polishes and my Christmas tree vinyls, they are must have for this time of the year! If you're in search of red polish then definitely buy this one bc the formula is divine!!!!


Parrot Polish has a sale right now buy 3 get 1 free + free worldwide shipping!!!

LEAVES MATTE NAIL ART

Although there are a lot of winter manis out there I'm still in my fall mood so today, I'm gonna show you another fall themed nail art.


For the base I've used Vino tinto ( italian for dyed wine)  by Catrice, it's actually dark brownish polish with burgundy/red undertone, in pictures is more dark blue, idk why :/ 
I think it can be good alternative to black polish if you want dark nails but doesn't really like black look! 

For the leaves I've used acrylic paint because it's a lot more easier to clean brushes afterwards than when using polish!

I love the roses in the background =) do you?

 This is a nail art that requests a bit more time and patience, but still its not so hard that requests any special skills!!



 I almost forgot to mention that I've used O.P.I's Matte Top coat for this look!

What do you think? Did you like it?

Thank you for reading, don't forget to find me on

Till the next time xoxo

Simple strips nail art

Hi guys, how are you doing? 
I decided to share with you a very simple and basic nail art that I did few days ago.


For the base:
 O.P.I - Alpine snow

For the stripes:
Silver striper nail polish - Look by Bipa, 
that's the only striper I have so I used nail striping brush (REVIEW) for other 2 color, which are:
Essie - Flawless (REVIEW)
China Glaze - For Audrey 

 This is basic nail art that I think everyone can do, but it's also really pretty and effective so you can do it even if you're not a beginner!
Also you can use all kinds of colors for this!

  


 These are the brushes that I've used. I bought them on eBay for like 1$ and I think they're essential for any nail art lover. I did a review while back so you can check out that HERE!!



I quite like how it turned  out, do you?
