My Avon Nail Polish Collection ♥♥

ENG: Hello loves! Today's post is beauty themed :-) I know, I write mostly about fashion & style, but I do like to throw in an occasional beauty post, as that's my passion too!
I discuss more beauty topics every month in my articles for Glam Express, so make sure to check them out if you haven't yet!
I love Avon and I've been an Avon Lady myself for almost 15 years now! I only was starting to learn about make up when I was introduced to the colorful beauty world of Avon and I immediately fell in love with the brand!

I wanted to show you my small Avon nail polish collection (as I was sorting out my nail polish collection the other day, I realized how long lasting and durable in time these nail polish are!). I guess I have all the seasons covered here, with these colours, ranging from neutrals, to pretty pastels, to more vibrant, summery colours and then darker shades for colder season!

Which one is your favourite?

HR: Pozdrav ljudi! Danasnji post je na "beauty" temu :-) Znam, u zadnje vrijeme na blogu cesce pisem o modi i stilu, ali znate mene, volim i taj "beauty" dio, tako da vas ne cudi ako s vremena na vrijeme ubacim i koji takav post!
Vise clanaka na temu ljepote i makeupa dijelim sa vama na Glam Expressu, pa svratite ukoliko jos niste :-)
Ja bas volim Avon i Avon Lady sam vec gotovo 15 godina! Tek sam se pocinjala sminkati i otkrivati taj svijet kozmetike, kada mi je Avon predstavljen i od tada je nastala ljubav!

Htjela sam vam pokazati moju malu kolekciju Avon lakova za nokte (nedavno sam sredjivala svoju kolekciju lakova za nokte i Avonovi su mi se pokazali izuzetno dobre kvalitete i dugotrajni!). U ovoj maloj kolekciji imam bojice za svako doba godine: Od neutralnih nijansi za svaku priliku, lijepih pastelnih, do zescih ljetnih boja i tamnijih prikladnih za hladnije doba godine!

O ovome sam snimila i video na hrvatskom jeziku, a mozete ga pogledati ovdje:

"Ballerina"

"Painted Peony "

"Seduce Me Strawberry"

"Vintage Blue"

"Luxe Lavender"

"Blue Flare"

Profesionalna manikura kod kuce ♥

Bok curke!

Evo jedan mali blog post za sve moje drage citateljice koje razumiju hrvatski jezik! :)

Za vas danas imam novi video na mojem hrvatskom youtube kanalu, a radi se o...manikuri! :)

U ovom videu cu vam pokazati kako lako mozete napraviti profesionalnu manikuru kod kuce!

Dok sam zivjela u Hrvatskoj, odlazila sam na manikuru kod kozmeticarke, no od kada zivim u Italiji, vise volim ustedjeti novac i raditi sama manikuru jednom tjedno kod kuce!

Od moje kozmeticarke pokupila sam par interesantnih savjeta i malih trikova, pa ih ovdje zelim podijeliti sa vama, kako biste i vi lako mogli napraviti savrsenu manikuru kod kuce i lijepo njegovali svoje nokte i ruke!

Video tutorijal u kojem vam pokazujem kako napraviti profesionalnu manikuru kod kuce, pogledajte ovdje:

Za danasnju manikuru izabrala sam ovu "denim plavu" nijansu laka za nokte koju jednostavno obozavam!

Misljenja sam da ove tamnije boje lakova za nokte lijepse izgledaju na kracim noktima, pa sam za potrebe ove manikure svoje nokte danas i prilicno skratila!

Plavi lak za nokte talijanske je marke "Liabel" (u mom supermarketu kosta samo 0,99 cent!), a obecava
"7 days long" trajnost!

Vec nakon prvog sloja, boja je bila intenzivna, lak se brzo susi i lagano, ravnomjerno nanosi, zahvaljujuci
prikladnoj cetkici!

Plavu manikuru odlucila sam ukrasiti prstenom ("connector" ring) u obliku zmije, sa plavim perlicama i cirkonicima!

Veliki osmijeh jer snimam na hrvatskom jeziku! :)

Jeste li se vec "pretplatili" na moj novi, hrvatski youtube kanal?
Pratite me tamo, jer imam novi video svaki tjedan!
Rado primam i vase sugestije i zahtjeve :)
Ukoliko imate ideju za temu mojeg iduceg videa, javite mi! Sto biste voljeli vidjeti na mojem kanalu?

Slicice vase profi manikure koju ste sami obavili kod kuce postajte na moju facebook stranicu!

Budimo tamo prijatelji! :) Cekam vas :)

Velika pusa iz Italije,

xoxo, S.

 

Essence Studio Nails Nail Fashion Sticker Review

Here is a quick review of the essence nail fashion stickers!

These are really easy & simple to apply & can make your regular manicure a bit more special & trendy if you add a cool print to just a few of your nails!

Just like I did

(see the pic bellow)

I got mine in a two different designs: 

• 01 Cool Cover! (the cheetah print)
• 07 All or Nothing! (stripes)

If you apply these properly, they will last you up to five days!

Here is what you need to do:

1. Be sure that your natural nails are clean & greaseless (therefor avoid the hand & nail cream), if necessary push back cuticles.
2. Select correct size strip for each nail.
3. Apply the predecorated fashion stickers onto your nails- important: place rounded edge against cuticle line, but still leave a little space between cuticles and nail fashion sticker.
4. Press sticker onto nail while flatten the surface through gentle rubbing
5. Smooth excess over nail edge. Gentle file off excess of the sticker with the nail file- ready!

Your nail stickers can easily be removed by peeling them off, just like any sticker.

A tip for a shiny finish: Seal the design with a clear top coat.

These stickers are also applicable on artificial nails, gels and acrylics.

Depending on your personal preference and the look you want to acheive, you can apply these to all your 10 nails, or just to several ones, of your choice.

I choose to apply these stickers only on my ring fingers, just to "spice up" a bit, my regular manicure.

I combined the cheetah print stickers with S-he Stylezone nail polish (availaable at DM drugstores) in shade #230.

I think the combination looks pretty good, but it would also look brilliant with brown nail polish (I'm thinking, Chanel 505 Particuliere), black, or neutral colour nail polish (O.P.I. hopelessly in love)

Overall I'm really happy with these stickers!

Have you ever tried these stickers? If so, which brand?

Which design is your favourite?

I personally think the cheetah print one is so cute, but the stripy one looks cool too!
