Nail Look: Ombre Pink With Water Decals


Hey guys! Yes, I'm wearing Ombre nails again. How can I not? They look so pretty, they're so much fun, and this gorgeous weather we've been having just screams 'Ombre'. This nail look is simple to create, yet is guaranteed to draw attention. After a few months of having problems with my nails (they got so short), I finally got them to grow longer (thanks Eveline 8in1), so I'm enjoying my long nails again.

Products used:
Thumb: L'oreal no. 603 (old)
Second: Catrice, 360 Raspberry Fields Forever (old)
Middle: Essence (old colour&go collection)
Ring: essence, colour & go, no.106, Free Hugs
Small: essence, stampy polish, 001 White
Water Decals: Born pretty, 1 Sheet Classical Flower Vine Pattern Nail Art Water Decals Transfers Sticker #H013 (CLICK HERE to purchase this product)
My opinion: I love water decals, they're so easy to use and you can create an amazing look within seconds. I've found that I enjoy black water decals the most, because you can combine them with any nail polish shade, and they go great with everything. Also your nail art won't look over-done or like it's too much. It's great to put water decals while wearing Ombre nails because it really ties the whole look together. What can I say, I adore this water decals design!
This Ombre look is a similar version of a nail look I did before, you can find it HERE. So, are you over Ombre, or are you still loving it, like I am? Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to follow me, and have a great day!

Love, J.

Ultrathin Gold Nail Ornaments


Hello guys. I'm back with a nail look I enjoyed. This is the first time I'm trying out this type of nail decorations. If you're wondering how come my nails are so short, the reason is, well, my nails got so damaged that I had to take a break and just use treatments and wait until they get back to normal. But thing are getting better already.

Products used:
Red nail polish: Maybelline, mini colorama (old), no. 150
Gold glitter top coat: smart girls get more, no. 117
Top coat: Essence, studio nails, better than gel nails, top sealer - a great product for sealing in nail art.
Nail decorations: BornPretty, 30Pcs/set Ultrathin, Diamond Crown Cross Design Charming 3D Nail Art Decoration, no.16683 (pattern no.32)

This is the first time I'm trying out this type of nail decorations. They're very thin, and they're easily bendable, but they're firm enough and will not snap or break while bending. This is how I use this product: first I would bend the nail decorations to fit my nail shape (I do this before I've put any nail polish on). Then I apply two coats of nail polish, and I use tweezers to place the decoration onto my nail while the nail polish is still wet. After this I use a tool (or a toothpick) to push the decoration into place, making sure that no ends are sticking out. When the bottom polish is dry, I apply a top coat to seal everything into place. That's how I do it, maybe someone has a different method. This turned out to be very good and the decorations stayed in position for 4 days until I removed them. But it's important not to have any parts sticking out, so make sure you apply them correctly. The first time I tried them it didn't all go smoothly (photos below), but I soon got the hang of things and I figured out how this works. All in all, the decorations are fun, it's easy to learn how to use them, and I think they look really good on nails, they really stand out. ;)
This photo below with green nail polish shows the first time I tried these nail decorations, and it didn't turn out so well. I put too much nail polish of a bad texture, and then I pressed the decorations too hard, and then I absolutely ruined it with top coat. But now I know better. It can't all go perfect the first time, right? ;)
The green polish used here is Catrice's 'Run Forrest Run', I also used some old Maybelline and Essence glitter top coats. In this photo below you can see how the nail decorations arrived (also, notice how damaged my nails got from all the nail polish and not taking care of them *sadface*):
I really like how the red look turned out. These decorations look really good against a dark background and red shades, but they also go really well with nude or baby pink polishes. All in all, a fun product that I've enjoyed trying out. 
Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to follow me on all my social media ;)

Love, J.

Dm: random kupovina

Pozdrav svima! Danas donosim svega po malo: par kratkih recenzija koje sam potrpala u jedan post. Zajednička tema je: svi proizvodi su iz dm-a. Svačega ima, pa počnimo.

dm, S-he stylezone, Mineral Loose Powder, 001 Ivory i 002 Beige (5g, 33 kn): Nikako mi nisu sjeli. Uzela sam dvije najsvjetlije nijanse, međutim koliko god sam prah izgleda nude ili ivory, u dodiru s kožom ovaj puder oksidira i završim sa narančastim tonom. I to nekakva tamna prljavo-smeđa nijansa; a što je najbolje, 001 na koži izgleda tamnije nego 002 (nema ovdje mjesta za logiku). Takva nijansa mi ne bi odgovarala niti ljeti. Postoje puno bolji proizvodi po puno boljoj cijeni, moja preporuka je da ove proizvode izbjegavate u širokom luku. Također naglašavaju suhe dijelove lica, i ne izgledaju privlačno (dobivate onaj brašnasti izgled). Usput sam napravila golemu pogrešku i skinula sam čitavu zaštitnu foliju, umjesto da sam probušila samo par rupica, pa sad nikako ne mogu vratiti taj višak unutra. O da, jesam li spomenula da nijansa 002 sadrži šljokice u sebi? Hehe, može li gore od toga?
Catrice, Photo finish, 18h liquid foundation (020 Rosy Beige): Ovaj puder je uklonjen iz standardne postave prije nekoliko mjeseci, a ja sam ga ugrabila zato što su ga ama baš svi hvalili i govorili kako će im biti teško bez njega. Jasno mi je i zašto, tekstura je dobra, lako se blenda, koža izgleda stvarno super. Ono preko čega nikako ne mogu preći jest vrlo neobičan miris: nekako slatkast s dozom snažnih kemikalija. Ne vjerujem da bi ovakvo nešto mogla trpjeti svaki dan. Zapravo, miris bi mu mogao biti jedina mana. Razumijem zašto cure (one sa slabijim osjetom njuha) pate za njim.
Balea, Piling za lice i vrat, malina (150ml): Ovaj piling za lice mi uopće nije odgovarao. Volim gel za čišćenje lica iz ove linije, ali piling je meni preslab. Ne osjetim nikakav efekt, mala zrnca koja se nalaze unutra su veličine pijeska i ne rade ništa. To jest, ja volim jake pilinge, baš agresivne. Ovo je za nekoga tko stvarno ne traži nešto grubo. Miris je malo presladak za mene, jedva čekam da ovo potrošim. Znate onaj osjećaj kad koristite neki proizvod a on za vas ne radi baš ništa? E to je to.

dm, Sundance, Matirajući fluid za sunčanje za lice, vrat i dekolte (50ml, 18 kn): Budući da imam masnu kožu, poželjela sam isprobati kremu za sunčanje koja ima matirajući efekt (tako barem piše na kutiji). Ok, nešto je bolja od nekih drugih krema za sunčanje na koje sam naletila, tj. pruža blago, djelomično matiranje. Ali, za moju kožu ovo nije za dan u gradu, jednostavno me ne matira. Sasvim solidan izbor za dan na plaži, ugodna je. Doduše, nešto je teže teksture i ostavlja bijeli trag koji je teško umasirati u kožu. Ok za plažu, loše za druge aktivnosti.
Essence, Studio Nails, 4in1 profi file (13,90 kn): Kupljeno, zažaljeno. Rašpica je paprinata, ima četiri različita efekta, koji su svi tako slabi da se među njima jedva spazi razlika. Prvi korak je loš za nokte (od njega se listaju), drugi korak se pohaba nakon dva korištenja (pa je ubrzo beskoristan), a druga strana rašpice uopće nije vrijedna spomena. Izbjegavati.
dm, Balea, Anti blasen gel, Gel za sprječavanje natisaka i žuljeva (10ml, 12,90 kn): Ovako bi ovaj proizvod trebao funkcionirati: treba ga nanijeti na dio stopala gdje vas 'deru' remenčići, i onda nećete dobiti žuljeve ili poderanu kožu jer će remenčić samo 'kliziti' preko gela. Funkcionira li u stvarnosti? Ne. Barem ne meni. Očekivala sam da će se gel s vremenom osušiti ili stvrdnuti na koži, međutim on ostaje u stanju gela čitavo vrijeme (bez obzira koliko malo proizvoda stavim, ili koliko dugo čekam). Uopće mi nije pomogao što se tiče žuljeva. Možda bi ovo mogao biti dobar proizvod za nekoga tko nema jako osjetljivu kožu, ali ako vas remenčići deru do krvi, ovo vam nikako neće pomoći. Možete staviti običnu Nivea kremu, imat će jednak učinak. Veliki fail. Bilo bi super kada bi postojali prozirni jastučići koji se lijepe na kožu i tako ju štite (flasteri ipak ne pomažu previše), ali ovaj proizvod mi nije pružio ama baš ništa vrijedno pažnje.

To je to za danas, nadam se da uživate u vikendu.
Love, J.

Nail Fail: The Ugly Edition


Hey everyone! The title says it all, this post is featuring the less flattering nail looks. Some of these are here because the execution of a good idea went wrong, some are here because the idea was wrong to begin with. And some are here because the photos didn't turn out well. Anyways, here is the Nail Fail post.

The problem with the look above was the ring finger. In order to dry the nail polish faster on the other fingers, I applied some oil. Somehow the oil got onto the ring finger, and the nail pearls would not stick to the nail polish. They just slid off. So this look was ruined (but it was ugly anyways). The pink nail polish is from an old essence collection, the white pearls are Catrice LE, the pink pearls are essence. The white and black glitter is by Maybelline (Colorama, Polka Dots, no.197). On the pointer I'm wearing glitter from Catrice (old collection, no.40, I'm Dynamite), and on the pinky I used the Maybelline topper and a glitter nail polish by Smart Girls (LE, no.116). Turns out, I'm not a big fan of the smart girls glitter, it's difficult to pack on a lot. Or maybe I'm just over glitter. All in all, I do not like this look - it just looks wrong.
So here I'm wearing a shade by Catrice, Caught On The Red Carpet. It's a great shade, one of my absolute all-time favorites. I wanted to top it off with one of my favorite top coats from essence's Metal Glam limited edition. Here are the results:
What happened was, the nail polish with the gold flakes ruined the base, it pulled it off, and that's why you can see the uneven red coat underneath. All in all, it would be good in my opinion for essence to put this gold flakes top coat in the standard range. You just have to be careful and always apply a transparent top coat first, so the gold flakes do not ruin the base color. I love how this polish looks and I've worn it a lot. You probably remember this polish, it was in high demand when this trend edition was out:
Here is one gold and bronze look:
I didn't like this gold look because I felt like my nails looked like duck feet (if that makes sense). I applied the nail polish wider towards the tip of the nail, that's why it looks weird. This polish is by Catrice, no.910, Oh My Goldness, and here I am wearing 3 (or maybe even 4) coats. So, not a fun polish, and it doesn't look very good layered over other polishes. Also, the pictures kinda suck.
This last look had two huge flaws. The first problem was that the photos came out really weird, my skin looks blue, it's really creepy (the one featured above is one of the better pictures LMAO). The other problem was that this nail polish was too liquid and it spilled towards my cuticles. When this happens, it's impossible to clean it, and it looks really bad (looks messy). I'm wearing a nail water decal from KKCenterHK (CLICK HERE), which I love, but unfortunately, the nail sticker does not have the white parts between the petals. So, it was barely visible over the red background. That's why it really only looks good over white nail polish.

So that's the Nail Fail post. Do you enjoy seeing these fail posts? Let me know in the comments, and thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to follow me.

Ombre Nails: Tequila Sunrise


Hey everyone! This color combination is my favorite to wear, probably because it reminds me of a Tequila Sunrise, which is my favorite cocktail. I meant to post this in one of my 'Nail Fail' posts, but I decided it isn't that bad. The only problem is that Ombre doesn't look very good on very short nails.

Products used:
Avon, Nail experts, Peeling and brittleness solver: It sucks. Do not purchase.
Essence, colour&go, really old collection: I'm trying to use up some of my old polishes, that's why I've been using these cute polishes a lot in the last few months. I loved these polishes, the texture was the perfect density, they are fast drying, the brush suited me and the bottles were adorable.
Catrice, 060 Bloody Mary To Go: The perfect classic red. Gorgeous.
Catrice, 070 Caught On The Red Carpet: A darker shade, but still a classic red. This one is more vampy. Wonderful texture, fast drying, covers in one coat.
Essence, Studio nails, Top Sealer: I like the one with the high shine better.
There you have it: a quick, fun look. In my opinion, short nails do not look nice on photos - that's why I rarely post them. So I guess I have to let my nails grow back.

Have a Tequila Sunrise and thanks for stopping by !
Love, Jelena

Ombre Nails: Green Edition


Ola everyone! Happy Weekend! Time for a nail look, and it's Ombre nails, yet again. What can I say, I love them, and I don't care if I'm becoming repetitive. I honestly feel like my nails are so boring when they're not Ombre. I love this trend!


Products used:
Base: Avon, Nail Experts, Peeling and brittleness solver -This base dries out my nails and leaves them brittle. I do not recommend.
Colors (wearing 2 coats all):
Thumb: Eveline, miniMAX, no. 808 - This polish did not sit well with me. It's very thick and gives uneven texture once dry. It also dries very slowly.
Pointer: Catrice, 240 Sold Out For Ever - This polish has tiny glitter particles in it, that's the reason why I don't like it very much. It also has somewhat of a pearl effect - I don't like that either.
Middle: Catrice, 590 Jade Is Not My Name - A shade right in between blue and green.
Ring: Catrice, 340 Run Forest Run! - The color of grass. Loving it, this is a true green.
Small: Catrice , 340 Run Forest Run! (small print) - Very dark shade, it looks almost black. BTW, yes, these two last polishes have the same name. Catrice made a mistake and gave two different shades the same name, they made this mistake about three times if I remember correctly.

Ring: I got this gorgeous thing (I love the bling!) at a random store in Zagreb, Radićeva for a bargain.

This nail look lasted about 5 days, and all this without a top coat! However, I always recommend having a topcoat when wearing Ombre, because it helps tie everything together in one look. It would be a great idea to do some stamping on these nails as well, just to tie it all together even better.
If you want to see all my Ombre nail looks, then just click HERE.
Sorry for the bad quality photos, for some reason this nail look did not photograph well *sadface*. So, let me hear it: are you guys getting sick of the Ombre nail looks?

Ombre Nail Look: White To Purple



Hey guys! Well, we all saw this coming: one more Ombre nail look from me. Does it seem like I'm always wearing Ombre nails? But can you blame me? My hands look so fun (or crazy? I'm gonna go with fun). What I'm loving about this look is the super shiny top coat that tied it all together.


Products used (from thumb until pinky):
Base coat: essence, Studio nails, XXL nail thickener: This base peels off in chunks if you wear it alone. I do not think it does much for my nails. I got it during the last sale, so it should no longer be available.
essence, nail art, Stampy polish, 001 white: This polish is great for stamping, but not great when worn alone. It cracks easily and is very streaky, and the texture is like rubber.
Maybelline, mini colorama, 26 candy bar: This is an old polish, but it's better than I remember (I'm trying to use up some of my older polishes). Surprisingly, it gives even coverage. I love this shade of bubblegum pink.
Catrice, 030 Meet Me At Coral Island: An old polish with even coverage. This shade is closer to orange than to coral.
essence, colour&go, old pink polish: I loved this old line better than the new one. And now the new one will be on sale (all the polishes are leaving), and the new polishes are coming out. I love essence polishes, there are great ones in their collection. This one has the best texture and covers in one coat.
Catrice, 120 Plum Play With Me: Another oldie, I'm wearing two coats. Gives even coverage, but it's too dark, the purple color gets lost and all you see is black.
essence, Studio nails, better than gel nails, top sealer: Loving this top coat! Top coats are very important when you're wearing Ombre nails - they tie everything together. This one dries insanely fast and it's so shiny.

Olival, Olovka za njegu noktiju i zanoktica: Ova olovka mi je OK, ali nisam pretjerano oduševljena. Privremeno mi nokti izgledaju bolje, ali ne primjećujem neko značajno poboljšanje stanja mojih noktiju. Jedna zamjerka: jako se sporo upija. I ima snažan miris po eteričnim uljima (nije za svakog).
So I wore yet another Ombre nail look. What do you think? To me, these look fabulous! I'm so wearing Ombre tomorrow as well! What do you think of this color combo?

Love to all, J.
