BY DANIJELA

Iako mi je ova godina proletela za tili čas, moram priznati da je bila vrlo plodonosna što se tiče kako blogovanja, tako i privatnog života. Sve velike želje s početka 2014. godine u potpunosti su se ostvarile, stoga sam ja jedno srećno biće koje u narednu godinu ulazi potpuno ispunjeno. Isto želim i vama! Although this year flew fast, I must admit I was very fruitful as far in blogging, as well in private life. All the great wishes I had in beginning of 2014 have been fully came true, therefore I`m one happy person who will be completely fulfilled in the next year. I wish the same to you!

D o 10. januara 2015. godine na fejsbuk stranici Essie Serbia  ( klik! ) održava se foto konkurs, gde možete postaviti fotografiju svog manikira, a jedini uslov je korišćenje Essie lakova. Žiri bira 30 najlepših fotografija i nagrađuje ih jednim Essie lakom. Prva fotografija je ona sa kojom ja učestvujem u tom konkursu. Until 01/10/15 facebook page Essie Serbia ( click! ) will held a photo contest where serbian girls can upload a photo of their manicures, and the only requirement is to use Essie polishes. The jury will select the 30 most beautiful photos and reward them with one Essie nail polish. F irst photo is the one with which I participate in this contest.

Još jedan (neko bi pomislio) dosadan dan u životu blogera, kada dotični odluči da pametuje na internetu, ali nadam se da ću ovim tekstom uspeti da vas razuverim i nateram na razmišljanje: šta, uistinu, predstavlja jedan bloger sa svojim onlajn kutkom zvanim blog? I zaista, o ovoj temi već duže vreme razmišljam. Današnji članak nema nameru da daje recept za uspešno blogovanje niti autorka ovog teksta želi da postavi sebe u položaj osobe koja "zna kako se stvara i vodi uspešan blog" jer, paradoksalno, ni "oni najbolji" ne bi imali odgovor na taj beskonačan niz pitanja.

Iskrena da budem, ne volim animal print (na svojim noktima), što zbog toga jer nisam ljubitelj toga, što zbog već izvikanog i milion puta rekreiranog leopard printa na noktima. Jedini dizajn koji je asocijacija na životinju, a koji mi se mnogo dopada, je žirafa print. To be honest, I don`t like animal print (on my nails), because I`m not a fan of that, but also because of the notorious milion times recreated leopard print. The only design that associates to the animal, which seems cute to me, is giraffe print.

Dugo nisam pisala na blogu o tome kako brinem o svojim noktima, pa sam odlučila da podelim sa vama moj trenutni tretman ruku, noktiju i zanoktica. Detaljnije o proizvodima koje koristim pričala sam u videu koji možete pogledati ispod ovog teksta. It`s been a long time since I wrote on the blog how I take care of my nails, so I decided to share with you current treatment of my hands, nails and cuticles. More details about the products that I use I already told in the video which you can watch below this text. (*serbian language only!)

Još jedan klasičan, neutralan kremasti lak "za svaki dan", koji je, bez obzira na odličnu formulu, izuzetno nefotogeničan. Another classic, neutral and creamy nail polish  "for every day" , which is regardless of excellent formula extremely nonfotogenic.

Obožavam metalik lakove, naročito volim da ih nosim tokom zime, mada nisu posebno prijateljski nastrojeni prema tonu moje kože. Predstavljam vam Astor VIP Silver. I love metallic nail polishes, especially love to wear them during the winter, although they`re not particularly friendly to my skin tone.  I represent you Astor VIP Silver.

U petak, 28.11. blogerke, saradnice sajta Mogu ja to sama.com, i moja malenkost, sastale smo se u novom Bitef Art Cafeu ( klik! ) u cilju snimanja promo videa za projekat koji radimo u okviru pomenutog sajta, a o kojem ne želim još uvek da pričam jer ćete se sutra i same uveriti o čemu se radi. Ovog puta želela sam da vam prenesem atmosferu sa ovog snimanja i blogerskog druženja.

Mislim da je prethodni mesec bio najinovativniji i najbogatiji od kada sam počela sa blogovanjem. Sve je krenulo sa poklonima iz Sephore, a završilo se sa S-he Stylezone lakom koji mi je poslala Vedrana ( klik! ). Hvala! :* I think the previous month was the most innovative and the richest since I started blogging. It all started with a gift from Sephora, and ended with a S-he Stylezone nail polish, which is sent to me by Vedrana ( click! ).  Thank you! : *

U poslednje vreme moji nokti dobili su žućkastu boju, tako da sam morala nešto da uradim po tom pitanju. Umesto kupovine za to namenjenog tretmana, odlučila sam da odradim recept u kućnoj radinosti. Najpre sam istražila koje kućne kuhinjske namirnice mogu pomoći pri žutilu noktiju i to sam primenila u tutorijalu ispod.  Lately my nails became yellowish, so I had to do something to prevent that.  Instead of buying intended nail care treatment, I decided to do a home recipe.  First, I researched which kitchen goodies can help in preventing yellowing nails and I applied it in the tutorial below. 

Ko me prati na youtube kanalu, još početkom novembra je imao priliku da vidi predstavljanje celokupne Sephora novogodišnje kolekcije lakova za nokte ( klik! ), koja će zvanično u prodaji biti od 1. decembra. Cene se još uvek ne znaju, ali u ovom članku vam donosim detaljnu recenziju jednog Ciaté seta, pod nazivom Big Beauty Bus , u čijoj simpatičnoj kutiji se nalazi 6 lakova. Whoever follows me on my youtube channel, at the beginning of November he had the opportunity to see the entire presentation of Sephora Holiday 2014 collection of nail polishes ( click! ), which will be officially on sale from 1st December. We do not know the p rices yet, but in this article I bring you a detailed review of  Ciaté  nail polish set called Big Beauty Bus, in which super cute case is 6 nail polishes.

Jedna od onih plavih nijansi koja bi svakom zapala za oko, jer je vrlo upečatljiva i dodatno ističe nokte. Iako na prvi pogled čisto plav, ovaj lak ima dosta zelenog podtona koji nije fotogeničan. One of those blue shades which surely would caught the eye to everyone, because it`s very striking and openly highlights the nails. Although at first sight seems it`s like blue, this polish has a lot of green undertonewhich is not photogenic at all.

Jedna od najpoznatijih tehnika ukrašavanja noktiju zastupljena je i u vašim čestim pitanjima. Kako bi pisanje bilo poprilično dugačko, odlučila sam da vam ispričam sve što imam na ovu temu i posavetujem vas kako da najlakše ukrasite nokte u vodi, a da ne napravite grešku. Donosim vam 7 saveta koji su bazirani isključivo na mom ličnom iskustvu.

Lak koji danas predstavljam dobila sam na poklon iz Turske, a radi se o njihovom brendu kratkog naziva NOTE. Za razliku od drugih proizvođača lakova iz turske, ovi imaju i nazive pored već standardne numeracije. Today I represent you a nail polish which I received as a gift from Turkey, and their brand name is simple and short - NOTE. Unlike other manufacturers from Turkey, these are having a names between numeration.

Olive Drab je prvi Kiko lak u mojoj kolekciji, a do njega sam došla putem sajta Moje krpice.rs. Spada u najneobičniju zelenu nijansu koju posedujem. Olive Drab is the first Kiko nail polish in my collection, and I catch it on the local site. It belongs to the most unusual green shades that I own.

Mnoge poruke na fejsbuku su mi dolazile za željom da uradim nešto jednostavno i zanimljivo na kratkim noktima, a u tom momentu definitivno prvo pomislim na tačkalicu. Tako je nastao i ovaj dizajn, a postupak pogledajte u video tutorijalu. Many messages on Facebook came to me with desire to do something simple yet interesting on short nails, and in that moment definitely my first tools is dotter.  Thus was created this design, and procedure you can see in the video tutorial.

Moj prvi pokušaj ombre manikira nazivam i više nego uspešnim, s obzirom da se nisam nadala da će ovako ispasti. Odlučila sam da iskombinujem mint nijanse. Detaljan postupak možete videti u video tutorijalu. My first try of doing ombre manicure came out pretty much good, considering that I have not expected that result. I choose to combine all my mint nail polish shades. The process of making is shown in video tutorial.

Kao što možete videti, ovi noviteti se odnose na dva meseca koja su za nama, a septembar sam preskočila iz prostog razloga što nisam imala količinski dovoljno noviteta kako bih im posvetila ceo članak. Danas vam pišem o novitetima koji su stigli u moj posed poslednjih dva meseca. Detaljnije možete videti kako proizvodi izgledaju u videu koji sam pripremila za vas, a sada sledi kratka priča o njima. As you can see, these newbies are related to the two months which are behind us, and in september I skipped this kind of post simple because I didn`t have enough quantity of innovations in order to devote full article.  Today I write about new in, which came into my possession last two months.  You can see how the products look like in the video that I have prepared for you, and what follows is a short story about them.

Želela sam da uradim nešto brzo, jednostavno i šljokičavo. Ne volim da nosim šljokice često, ali to je bio momenat kad sam poželela da mi nokti šljašte. I wanted to do something quick, easy and sparkly. I don`t like to wear glitter very often, but this was the moment when I wished my nails spark.

Volim bele lakove i za mene su oni izbor broj jedan kada dođu letnji dani. Probala sam razne, a China Glaze White On White je jedan od njih. I love white polishes and for me they are the number one choice on summer time. I have tried several, and China Glaze White On White is one of them.

Tokom leta uradila sam jedan dizajn prijateljici koja je sutradan putovala u Kušadasi i želela je neki prigodan manikir. To je bila prilika da probam mornarske nalepnice sa sajta Born Pretty Store . During the summer, I did a design to my friend who traveled to Kusadasi next day and wanted some occasional manicure. It was an opportunity to try out sailor water decals from the website Born Pretty Store.

Stikere koje predstavljam dobila sam na poklon od saradnica sa sajta Mogu ja to sama (klik!). Iako sam ih već jednom koristila, loše vreme me je sprečilo da napravim dobre fotografije, pa vam, samim tim, tek sada donosim recenziju.  Stickers that I represent to you I received as a gift from the contributors from the site Mogu ja to sama (click!). Although I have already used them, bad weather has prevented me from making good photograps so now I`m bringing you a review.

U više navrata sam pominjala da nisam ljubitelj žutih lakova i da je jedino pastelno žuta ona koja me privlači. Danas za vas imam lak koji sam nabavila na sajtu Moje krpice.rs, iz Catrice limitirane kolekcije "Cr è me Fresh" , koja je plasirana u februaru tekuće godine. On several occasions I have already mentioned that I`m not a fan of yellow nail polishes and the only yellow shade which attracts me is pastel one. Today I'm showing you nail polish that I purchased from the local website, it`s Catrice limited collection "Crème Fresh", which came out in February this year.

Nakon Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Cherry red , ovo je novi crveni krasotan koji je postao moj miljenik. Intenzivna crvena boja koja ostavlja bez daha je najbolji opis ove nijanse. After Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Cherry red, this one is my new all time favorite red shade. Intense red color that leaves you breathless is the best description of this shade.

Iskoristila sam priliku da uradim dizajn upotrebom žutih lakova, s obzirom da ih retko koristim, a još ređe ili gotovo nikada ih ne nosim samostalno. I took the opportunity to do the design using yellow nail polishes, since I rarely use them, and even more rarely or almost never carry alone.

Nisu uvek samo dosadni lakovi na okruglim stalcima na sniženju u Lilly drogerijama. Ovo je jedan izuzetak, koji mi je odmah zapao za oko. Upoznajte Punk Rock! It`s n ot true that only a boring nail varnishes are on sale at serbian drogeries.  This is one exception, which immediately caught my eye. Meet Punk Rock!

Danas predstavljam What A Pansy , jedan divan lak u boji borovnice, a odlikuje ga savršena formula. Today I represent you What A Pansy, a wonderful blueberry color nail polish with perfect formula.

Biću krajnje iskrena, tehnika ukrašavanja noktiju lepljenjem stikera preko celog nokta nije moj ukus, tako da sam se jako čudno osećala dok sam isprobavala ove Sephora nalepnice. I will be utterly frank, the technique of decorating nails sticking stickers all over the nail is not my taste, so I had a really strange feeling when I was checking out these Sephora nail wraps. 

Već duže vreme sam želela da  probam ovu tehniku i konačno sam to učinila. Dopada mi se rezultat, a naročito kako manikir izgleda nakon matiranja. For a long time I wanted to try this technique and I finally did it. I like the result, especially after putting a layer of matte top coat.

Volim zelene lakove u takozvanoj boji "školske table". Zbog toga mi se na prvi pogled i dopao Roller coaster. I love green nail polishes in this so-called "school board" color. Therefore, I liked Roller coaster at the first site.

Srebrni lak je nešto zaista vredno pažnje i smatram da svaka devojka treba da ga ima u kolekciji, iako nije boja za svaki dan. Golden Rose Color Expert kolekcija je u svoje redove uvrstila i jedan metalik srebrni lak. Silver nail polish is something that is truly worht of attention and I think that every woman should have it in her collection, although it`s not a color for every day. Golden Rose Color Expert collection included in their ranks one metallic silver lacquer.

Nažalost, došlo je do mog prvog razočarenja proizvodom sa sajta Born Pretty Store , i iskreno se nadam da se to više neće ponoviti. U pitanju je pločica za pečatiranje pod šifrom "m80". Iako nisam previše iskusna što se tiče pečatiranja, gotovo sam sasvim sigurna da bi bilo kakva tehnika i umeće bili uzaludni što se tiče testiranja ove pločice.

U oktobru prošle godine iskoristila sam veliko sniženje od čak 50% na sve Avonove lakove, i, između ostalih, postala vlasnik ove divne pastelno narandžaste nijanse pod nazivom Habanero It Girl. In October last year, I used a large 50% sale of all Avon nail polishes, and, among others, I became the owner of this lovely pastel orange shade called Habanero It Girl.

Formula X lakovi kompanije Sephora još uvek nisu dostupni na prodajnim mestima u Srbiji. Lak koji predstavljam dobila sam na poklon od saradnica, i zaista mi se svideo, jer nemam ništa slično u kolekciji. Formula X nail polishes by Sephora are not available in the Serbia. Nail polish which I represent today to you I`ve got from my contributors and I really like it because I don`t have anything similar to it in my collection.

Vodene nalepnice su, što se mene lično tiče, najbolje otkriće u nail art-u. Jeste da vas teraju da se ulenjite, ali ovo je savršen način da ukrasite svoje nokte, ukoliko niste vešte u šaranju.  In my opinion, water decals are the best discovery in nail art. Okay, it might force you to become lazy but this is a perfect way to decorate your nails if you`re not skilled in decorating.

Povod za ovaj starinski manikir je predstavljanje vodenih nalepnica sa sajta Born Pretty Store.com . Nažalost, jedne od njih više nisu na raspolaganju na sajtu, ali to nije razlog da ne podelim dizajn sa vama. The cause I did this old fashioned manicure is a representation of water decals from the site Born Pretty Store.com. Unfortunately, one of them is no longer available on the site, but that`s no reason not to share the design with you.

Toperi i ja nismo u velikoj ljubavi, ali ukoliko poseduju zeleni gliter, ne mogu a da mi ne zapadnu za oko. Princes Gardens je jedan od tri laka iz kolekcije Nails Inc. Special Effects "Garden Party", koju je ovaj britanski proizvođač plasirao tekuće godine, početkom proleća. Slobodno mogu da kažem da je ovo najbolji toper koji sam do sada imala priliku da probam. I`m not in a great love with toppers, but if they have a green glitter, I can`t skip it. Princes Gardens is one of the three nail polishes from the Nails Inc. collection Special Effects "Garden Party",which this british manufacturer placed the current year, in early spring.  I can say this is the best topper I have ever had the opportunity to try.

Čule ste za nove Sixteen cosmetics lakove? Ako niste, od sada ih možete kupiti u Lilly drogerijama vrlo pristupačno. Za testiranje sam odabrala #475, a pročitajte kako se pokazao. Did you hear for Sixteen cosmetics nail polishes? If you don`t, now you can read my impressions after testing one of them, #475.

Ovaj mesec bila sam i previše zauzeta fakultetom da bih se posvetila blogovanju u potpunosti. Srećom, čekali su vas unapred pripremljeni postovi, koje sam ja u periodu krajem jula i avgusta jednim klikom objavljivala. Hvala blogeru na patentiranoj opciji da se čuvaju iskuckani članci. This month, I was too occupied with faculty so I wasn`t dedicated to blogging as I usually am. Fortinately, a lot of pre-prepared posts has waited for you, so in period of late july & august I published posts in just one-click. Thanks to blogger on patented option to keep drafts.

Ovo parče starinskog zlata dobila sam za Dan zaljubljenih ove godine. Ne znam ni sama zašto ga do sada nisam probala. Verovatno jer nisam bila raspoložena za ovu nijansu - koju inače jako volim, mada retko nosim. This piece of antique gold I got for Valentine`s Day, this year. I don`t know why I haven`t tried it yet. Probably because I wasn`t in the mood for this shade - which is, by the way, loved but rarely worn by me.

Nakon nege noktiju, ovo je bilo vrlo često postavljeno pitanje u inbox moje Fejsbuk stranice. Odlučila sam da snimim video tutorijal o tome šta radim ukoliko mi jedan od noktiju nezgodno pukne, a ne želim da zbog jednog žrtvujem preostalih devet. This was often asked question in the inbox of my Facebook page. I decided to do a video tutorial on what I do if one of the nails break, and I don`t want to sacrifice remaining nine.

Nisam imala često priliku da se susretnem sa ovakvom nijansom laka, poput Guava -  kompanije Revlon. Takođe, nisam sigurna da ću umeti da opišem ovu boju na najbolji mogući način, ali potrudiću se. Naime, lak nosi naziv po unutrašnjosti ploda biljke guava, koja raste u tropskim krajevima Latinske Amerike. Stoga, boja je kao stvorena za leto. I haven`t often had the opportunity to meet this type of polish shade such as Guava - from the company Revlon.  Also, I'm not sure I`ll know how to describe this color in the best way possible, but I will try.  The nail polish is called by the interior of the fruit guava, which grows in tropical regions of Latin America.  Therefore, this color is perfect for summer.

Teško je izneti potpuno objektivne utiske na osnovu jednog primerka, s obzirom da je ovo moj prvi Sephora lak koji sam probala, te nemam iskustva sa ovim proizvođačem. Dobila sam ga na poklon od saradnica sa sajta Mogu ja to sama.rs  ( klik! ).      It`s difficult to set out a completely objective impressions based on a single sample, since this is my first Sephora polish that I tried, and I have no experience with this manufacturer. I got it as a gift from an associate from the site Mogu ja to sama.rs (click!)

Retko nanosim plave lakove, ali kada nalakiram jedan, zadesi me prava plava manija te ih lakiram non stop. U tom duhu, danas vam predstavljam Essence #129 The boy next door , predivan plavi safir. I don`t wear blue nail polishes very often, but once I polish my nails blue it becomes a real blue mania, so I put blue on my nails non stop. Going with this flow, today I represent Essence #129 The boy next door, a beautiful blue sapphire.

Ponekad ume da dosadi ukrašavanje noktiju, ali to isključivo važi kada ukrašavam nokte samoj sebi (dešava se da se prezasitim, ali nikada mi se nije desilo da mi dosadi da ukrašavam nokte drugim devojkama). Za sada, to radim sestri, drugaricama i dragim osobama, jer duplo više uživam u nail art-u kada ga ne radim sebi. Takođe, mnogo sam srećnija kada dobijem kompliment od posmatrača da je dizajn dobar, a uradila sam ga drugoj devojci. Neopisivo lep osećaj, zbog kojeg sam sve zaljubljenija u moj hobi. Sometimes I get tired of decorating the nails, but that only counts when I decorate nails to myself  (it never really happened to me to be bored by decorating nails to other girls).  For now, I'm doing nails to my sister, friends and to loved ones, because I enjoy twice doing nail art to the others.  Also, I am much happier when I get a compliment from observers that the design is good, and I did it to another girl.  Indescribably beautiful feeling, which made me...

Ljubičasti period je, nadam se, iza mene. Ne bi valjalo da mi dosadi jedna od omiljenih boja. Danas za vas imam ulov sa sajta Moje krpice.rs, iz Essence kolekcije koja, nažalost, više nije dostupna u prodaji, ali putem interneta sigurno možete doći do svog primerka. Violet period is, hopefully, behind me.  It wouldn`t be nice if I get bored of one of my favorite colors.  Today, I've got for you a catch from the site My krpice.rs, from the Essence collection which, unfortunately, is not available anymore, but on the Internet you can surely reach your copy.

Ovaj mesec definitivno su obeležili pokloni, iznenađujući i vrlo lepi. Većinu noviteta sam već uveliko probala (što na meni, što na drugim devojkama), i apsolutno sam zadovoljna njihovim kvalitetom. Uskoro vas očekuju recenzije nekoliko noviteta. This month is definitely marked by gifts, surprisingly nice. Most of the new polishes I've already tried (on me, or on the other girls), and I'm absolutely happy with their quality. Y ou  can expect reviews of several innovations very soon.

Dugo je čekao svoje redove na ovom blogu, ali čuvala sam recenziju za lep i sunčan dan, kako bih ga prikazala u najboljem svetlu. U pitanju je mint zeleni lak, jedini pravi mint lak u Rich color kolekciji. Ljubiteljima Golden Rose lakova je već dobro poznat, a meni ostaje da potvrdim njegovu lepotu. He waited a long time his place on this blog, but I kept a review for a beautiful and sunny day, in order to show you the best of this nail polish. It is a mint green polish, the only real mint polish from Rich color collection.  Lovers of Golden Rose polishes are already know it well, but I have to confirm its beauty.

Pred vama je jedna prava orhideja (ili bar njen odraz na noktima). Vrlo je popularna nijansa ove sezone, a po svemu sudeći spada u nijanse koje će obeležiti ovu godinu. Aura je plasirala Violette Coquette  kao svoj skroman doprinos ovom trendu. Moram priznati da sam zadovoljna. Lak sam dobila na poklon od drage J. Hvala ti! Here is the one true orchid (or, at least, a reflection of it on the nails).  It`s very popular shade this season, and by all comments, it`s one of the shades that will mark this year.  Aura (serbian cosmetics company) has released Violette Coquette as their contribution to this trend.  I have to admit that I am impressed. I got it for gift from dear J. Thank you!

Dugo se nisam pridružila usklađenim manikirima, ali s obzirom da mi je tema jako zanimljiva, odlučila sam da učestvujem. Naime, obožavam da pretražujem manikire na Pinterestu, na svom profilu imam tablu na koju kačim ono sto sam poželela da rekreiram ( klik! ). Long time I haven`t joined the balkan beauty bloggers - matching manicures sunday, but since this theme is very interesting to me, I decided to participate. In fact, I love to browse manicures on Pinterest - on my  profile I have a board, where I pin designs which I want to recreate one day.
