Nega nohtov z Weledo!
Pozdravljeni! Zagotovo ste že slišali za Weledo ter za njihove izdelke za nego kože, predvsem obraza. Tudi mene je presenetilo, ko sem videla, da ponujajo tudi izdelke za nego rok oziroma nohtov! Pred leti sem članom družine podarila nekaj krem za roke z rakitovcem, ki so jo vsi zelo pohvalili. Zato sem bila prijetno presenečena, da sedaj ponujajo tudi svinčnike za nohte. Poskusila sem kar tri različne in sicer svinčnik za odstranjevanje obnohtne kožice, svinčnik za nego in lesk nohtov ter svinčnik za nego nohtov in obnohtne kožice.

Tea party with Catrice FALLOSOPHY treats :)
Hello! One of the recent Catrice limited editions called Fallosophy really got everyone hyped up and I was one of those who fell in love with the lipsticks from the start - just check out the preview here and you will know why. :) So I was really happy to be able to try some of the products, I got three - Nail Lacquer in shade C05 Morning Dew and two Soft lip colour lipsticks in shades C02 Rustic Rose and C03 Little Red Riding Hood. From the first look at the preview I was very interested in this collection, especially because of the packaging that has perfect fall touch to it - printed leaves on the caps of their products!
Other nail lacquer shades from this collection simply didn't seem much interesting to me, I already have or had similar shades and I know I wouldn't really be wearing them much, so I choose the lightest shade in hopes it would be suitable for everyday use. The shade C05 Morning Dew is actually not the slightly pinky shade with a hint of glitter but simply just an almost completely transparent nail polish with silvery shimmer in it and it would work best as a topper, even though it does not claim to be a top coat nail polish. I must admit I was a bit dissapointed to see this so very subtle and basically invisible on my nails. Still, if you are into really gentle shades that are barely noticeable on your nails this might be right for you! Application of this nail lacquer is easy, the brush is classic for Catrice, nothing new or special there. It's not a longlasting nail polish, at least not on my nails, it started to chip already the same day I applied it. I usually apply two coats to at least get something out of it, otherwise it simply looks as a clear nail polish, even the glitter doesn't build up unless you apply two coats.
Completely another story are these two gorgeous lipsticks! I was so right these two would become one of my favourites! I have two shades - C02 Rustic Rose and C03 Little Red Riding Hood. The texture of these two is very creamy, smooth, they simply glide on and really moisturize my lips well. The finish of these is shiny, but very natural, not like applying a gloss. They feel very comfortable on the lips, light and easy. I like to use them for my everyday makeup, especially the lighter shade Rustic Rose. The other shade Little Red Riding Hood is a bit darker, it's a red with a slight plum undertone, and I like to wear it both with my daytime or nighttime makeup looks. Also pigmentation of these two lipsticks is amazing! If you can still get them (I am a bit late with my review and there are new LE coming up) really try at least the testers so you can see for yourself if this is something you would like to wear! Also the packaging looks very pretty, kinde luxe and I love the closing is magnetic. There is no way these could open up in your purse. My swatches are really not the best, they don't show the real shade of the red lipstick, as it looks more like a plummy lipstick. Seems like it doesn't want to be photographed - tried for a week every day to get the settings and light right, but nothing worked. So I went to check online and almost everyone who reviewed these lipsticks got them a bit wrong, a bit different than they really are in real life. This is actually the best swatch I could find online - The Beauty of Oz! Oh, also love the name of the shades, one of the many details that attrackted me to these in the first place! They are not very longlasting, on me they last for about three hours, that is only if I don't drink or eat, but as they are so creamy it's easy to reapply them on the go, even without a mirror.

Pink nails for Pink October :)
Hello!
As we all know, October is the month dedicated to fight against breast cancer. The usual shade and symbol chosen for this month is a pink ribbon. As we are all affected in some way by cancer, being sick, beating it, knowing someone who died because of it... a lot of Slovenian bloggers decided to dedicate 21st of October as the day we all post something pink on our blogs to show our support for all the women and their families, friends fighting against breast cancer!
I decided to post a quick and easy to make manicure using only three products! I used KIKO Makeup Milano Nail lacquer in shade 317 as base. On top I made pink ribbons with the help of Essence nail art dio stylist and Deborah Milano Gel effect nail polish in shade 03.
Here's the finished manicure! I hope you like it :)
Thanks for reading!

Ocena: Oriflame - Giordani Gold Intense Shine Nail Lacquer - Noble Burgundy
Pozdravljeni! :) Danes sem za vas pripravila kratko oceno laka za nohte znamke Oriflame, gre pa za lak iz kolekcije Giordani Gold Intense Shine Nail Lacquer ali lak za nohte z intenzivnim sijajem, v najtemnejšem odtenku Noble Burgundy.
Embalaža, cena - Izdelek je zapakiran v lično črno škatlico z zlatim napisom, značilno za izdelke Giordani Gold, nato pa v lični steklenički z zlatim pokrovčkom, ki ima na vrhu gravuro GG (za Giordani Gold). Cena izdelka je 8,99 evra, vendar je lahko tudi nižja, odvisno od kataloškega obdobja.
Barva - Noble Burgundy je zelo temno rdeč lak, popoln odtenek za vse priložnosti po mojem mnenju, marsikomu pa se bo barva zdela pretemna in bolj jesensko/zimska. Sama obožujem temno rdeče, vinske odtenke na nohtih in tale je hitro postal eden izmed mojih najljubših! Predvsem priporočam odtenek vsem, ki se ne bojijo temnejših barv ter bi se rade počutile še malo bolj zapeljive ;) V močnem soncu odtenek izgleda kot res polno dozorele temnejše češnje in je res super!
Na voljo je drugače skupno osem različnih odtenkov, vsi pa so nežnejši in svetlejši od Noble Burgundy - odtenke si lahko ogledate tudi tukaj:)
Nanos, tekstura, obstojnost - Lak vsebuje šipkovo olje, ki neguje nohte ter skrbi za vlago. Nanos je enostaven, vendar pri tem najtemnejšem odtenku je potrebno malo več pozornosti ter previdnosti, da ne ostane lisast ter potrebni sta dve plasti. K lažjemu nanosu pomaga tudi širši čopič, ki je vsaj meni ravno prav velik za hiter in enostaven nanos. Tekstura laka ni preveč gosta in je primerna za plastenje. Posuši se relativno hitro, sama nisem opazila, da bi bilo potrebno dolgo čakati na to, da se lak posuši. Lak mi nohtov ni obarval, kljub temu da spodaj nisem nanesla podlaka. Obstojnost je bila brez podlaka in nadlaka nekje slabe tri dni, z nadlakom pa štiri dni. Menim, da bi se pri svetlejših odtenkih dalo lažje popraviti in prikriti, da se vam je lak že rahlo okrušil, pri Noble Burgundy pa je to kar težko skriti, saj gre za zelo izrazit odtenek. Všeč mi je tudi zaključni sij laka, ker je ravno prav svetleč.
Krasen temno rdeč odtenek, ki se mi zdi res super primeren za katerokoli priložnost, čeprav take odtenke rada nosim kar za vsak dan :) Z lakcem sem zelo zadovoljna, tudi zdržal mi je zelo dobro, ker sem navajena da se mi še isti dan vse kruši dol, predvsem če imam nanešenih več plasti. V tem primeru pa sem res zadovoljna :) Barva je pa naravnost čudovita!
Najlepša hvala Oriflame Slovenija za izdelek ;)
Upam, da vam je bila ocena v pomoč :) Hvala za pozornost!

Review: Essence Fun Fair LE :)
Pozdravljeni! Na trgovinske police je prispela nova omejena kolekcija znamke Essence, ki se imenuje Fun Fair. Imela sem priložnost, da sem dva izdelka iz kolekcije prejela v test in sedaj sem za vas pripravila kratko oceno :)
Hello! Stores in Slovenia just received new limited edition by Essence and it's called Fun Fair. I had a chance to test and review two of the products from the new limited edition and here I have a short review for you! :)
Prejela sem rdečilo za lica v odtenku 01 Ring Around The Rosy ter izdelek za dekoriranje nohtov Cotton Candy v odtenku 01 Candylicious!
I have received a blush in shade 01 Ring Around The Rosy and one product for nail decoration and it's called Cotton Candy Nails in shade 01 Cnadylicious!
Najprej nekaj o Cotton Candy Nails izdelku. Priznam, da je bila moja prva misel kaj bom pa s tem izdelkom? Ker dejansko nisem še nikoli uporabila česa podobnega, višek mojih nail art izkušenj so nalepkice za nohte in packanje z Essence Duo sytlist palčko, kaj drugega pa mi ravno ne gre. Zato sem najprej po spletu pobrskala, če je kdo že uporabljal kaj podobnega in kako. In je čisto enostavno. Nanesete plast laka za nohte v željenem odtenku, najbolje je, da se odtenka nekoliko ujemata, da ta prahec pride čim bolj do izraza. Prahec je svetlo roza barve z roza bleščicami, ki so ravno prav pogoste, da se jih na nohtih lepo vidi, ne dajo pa bleščičastega izgleda. Embalaža izdelka je zelo praktična, ker se izdelka ne vsuje preveč ampak ravno toliko da se lepo prekrije noht. Drugače pa so na izdelku tudi zapisana navodila za uporabo, ki zapišejo točno tak postopek, kot sem ga potem sama uporabila. Odstranjevanje je bilo enostavno in hitro, samo z vatirano blazinico in mojim običajnim odstranjevalcem. Predvsem je pomembno, da res takoj po nanosu sloja laka za nohte že potresete prahec, saj se drugače ne bo prijel in obstal na roki. Po tem ni potrebno nanesti nobenega nadlaka ali česa podobnega, saj bi to uničilo bombažno zaključek/izgled na nohtih. Končni izgled je zelo zanimiv, izgleda kot sladkorna pena! Čutiti je mehko plast, ki prekriva nohte in tudi če si umijete roke še vedno, ko se roke posušijo čutite mehkobo tega prahca. Pričakovala sem, da mi ne bo uspelo in da je zagotovo kje kaka zanka in da se mi tole ne bo prijelo na nohte, ampak se mi je in ko se je enkrat posušilo ni šlo več stran drugače kot z odstranjevalcem.
First I want to present Cotton Candy Nails product. I admit, at first I didn't know what to do with the product. I have never before used anything similar, the hight of my nail art skills are nail art stickers and a product by Essence, Duo stylist stick, and I'm not good at any other form of nail art. So the first thing I did was check online if anyone has ever used anything like this and how. It's really simple! All you need to do is choose a nail polish for base, whatever shade you prefer, but it's best it's a shade that matches the dust, because the dust stands out a bit more. The cotton dust is in light pink shade and also has pink glitter in it. It's not too glittery, it's just a little something added and looks really lovely. The packaging of the product is very useful as it helps apply the dust on your nails without sprinkling too much of the product and wasting it. Anyway, you have directions how to use on the back of the product and it's the same way as I used it - "sprinkle the powder across your wet nail and wait for it to dry". Removing it was easy and fast, just with a cotton pad and my usual nail polish remover. It's really important that you sprinkle the dust right after applying a coat of nail polish or it will not glue itself to the base. You don't need any top coats or anythiing, as that would actually ruin the cotton finish. The finish is really interesting! It looks like a cotton candy you can buy at fairs! You can feel the softness of the dust and even if you wash your hands, once you dry them, you will feel the softness again! I expected this will not work for me and that there must be a catch somewhere and that this will not glue itself on my nails, but it did, and once it really dried off it sat still until I removed it with nail polish remover.
In še kratka ocena drugega izdelka - rdečila za lička v odtenku 01 Ring Around The Rosy. Embalaža izdelka je enostavna, plastična in prozorna, podobno kot ostala njihova rdečila. Odtenek izdelka je res močna roza, brez bleščic oziroma shimmra, ampak z hladnim leskom. Na koži deluje zelo naraven in preprosto popoln za poletje! Pigmentacija tega rdečila je res zelo dobra, je enostaven za nanos, ampak previdno, da ga ne nanesete preveč. Sama nisem imela težav z zabrisovanjem. Na slikah je vidna odlična pigmentacija ter mehka tekstura, za slikanje sem potrebovala samo en sloj in že se je pokazala polna barva izdelka. Obstojnost na meni, ki imam mastno kožo je bila nekje srednja, recimo nekje 4 ure, potem pa je pričel že precej bledeti. Morda deluje kot kakšna kombinacija osvetljevalca in rdečila saj ima zelo izrazit hladen svilnat lesk.
And also a short review of the blush I received in shade 01 Ring Around The Rosy. The packaging of the product is simple, plastic and transparent, looks a lot like any other of their blushes. The shade of the blush is a strong pink shade without any glitter or shimmery parts, but has a sort of a cold shine to it. On the skin it looks really natural and perfect for summer! The pigmentation of the product is really good, but be careful not to apply too much. I didn't have any problems with blending it in. On the photos you can see that it's really well pigmented and has a smooth texture as I needed only one swipe to get full coverage of the colour to show you. Longivety is on me a bit medium, I have oily skin and products tend to melt faster, I could say this lasted on me about 4 hours before it started to fade. It may look a lot like a mix of highlighter and blusher as it's got intense cold silky shine to it.
Izdelki so dostopni tudi preko spleta v spletni trgovini Click2chic, cena za rdečilo za lička je 3,29 evra, za cotton candy nails prahec pa 2,79e.
Ste že poskusili kakšnega izmed izdelkov iz omejen izdaje Fun Fair? Če ste ali pa če morda kakšnega priporočate mi sporočite v komentarjih ;) Upam, da vam je bila ocena v pomoč in najlepša hvala za pozornost!
Najlepša hvala tudi Essence Slovenia za izdelka in možnost sodelovanja ;)

Review: Catrice Nomadic Traces LE - Trip Into The Blue :)
Hello! It's been some time since I last posted a review for nail polish, the last one was a review for Makeup Revolution Slovenija and you can check that post here. I have really hoped to like the Nomadic Traces limited edition also in person, but once I managed to get to the store, there wasn't much left to choose from. I treated myself with this perfect blue coloured nail polish called C04 Trip Into The Blue. I thought the shade would be a nice addition to my summer nail polish picks and I was right! Also this nail polish seemed most interesting to me as it promised me a matt effect.
I used two coats to really get it evened out, I must admit I was slopy with the first one and there were visible ridges. I really like the brush here, it's wide enough I only need one swipe and a bit of adjustment to cover my nails. The finish is as you can see semi- matte, it's not completetly matte. I kinda hoped it would be even more matte, but oh well, this will have to do. Anyway, I really love the easy application and the amazing shade! Really love this deep blue!If you can get your hands on it I would really recommend it! :) Unless you don't like the finish... But anyway, I find it a perfect summer shade! :)
Thanks for reading and hope this short review was helpful to you! :)

Review: I Heart Makeup - Nail Geek - 22 Streetwise :)
Pozdravljeni! Tokrat sem za vas pripravila kratko sobotno objavico :) V test sem s strani Makeup Revolution Slovenija prejela I Heart Makeup lak za nohte v odtenku 22 Streetwise :) Gre za super ("mauve"/"minky"/"lilacy") odtenek, ki je tako primeren za vsakodnevno uporabo kot za posebne priložnosti. Gre za umirjen vijoličast odtenek z rahlim pridihom sivkaste barve, pa vendar ne deluje preveč hladen.
Hello! Today I have a short saturday post for you and it's a review of a nail polsih I have recieved to test and try from Makeup Revolution Slovenia. It's I Heart Makeup Nail geek nail polsih in shade 22 Streetwise. It's a really great colour, best described as mauve/ lilacy/minky shade. I find it perfect for every day use or for special occasions.

I find it perfect for every day use or for special occasions.
Zelo mi je všeč formula tega laka, saj se res enostavno nanese, pigmentacija pa je tudi odlična, saj sem za popolno prekrivnost potrebovala samo eno plast. Tudi čopič je ravno prav velik in ravno prav oblikovan, da je bil nanos res enostaven. Mislim, da bi ga brez problema plastila v dva sloja za bolj močno prekrivnost in za bolj poenoteno barvo, vendar se mi ni zdelo potrebno. Če si vzamem čas ter lepo namažem vsak noht posebej je ena plast že dovolj. Finish laka je kremen, pa vendar ravno prav svetleč. Ker nisem uporabila nobenega podlaka vam lahko povem tudi, da ne pušča nobene obarvanosti na nohtih. Prav tako nisem uporabila nobenega nadlaka in lahko točno vidite kakšen je finish samega laka. Kar se tiče obstojnosti, pa je pri meni tako kot pri vseh drugih lakih, kruši in poka že isti dan (ne glede na to ali nanesem nadlak/podlak ali ne), ker imam pač tako zelo mehke nohte, da se mi uvijejo že če si želim samo popraviti majico ali kaj podobnega, in če res ne pazim kaj delam z rokami je torej to res ekspresno. Navadno toleriram te razpokice ter kakšen okrušen košček kak dan ali dva, malo na hitro popravim z čopičem ter nato, ko res ne zdržim več odstranim celotni lak.
I really like the formula of this nail polish, it's easy to work with, application is easy and pigmentation is also very good, I only needed one coat. The brush is just the right size and shape and really helpes with the easy application. I could apply two coats, but I really didn0t feel the need to. If I take enough time and work slowly I can use only one coat and it will be opaque and won't need another coat. The finish of this nail polsih is really creamy, but still a bit shiny. I did not use any base coat and I can tell you that this nail polish didn't leave me any stains on my nails. Also I did not use any top coat and you can really see the real finish of the nail polish. Longivety is something that is always a problem with me as I have really soft nails that bend with the slightest pressure and well, my nail polish with it. Usually it starts to brreak the same day after application and I just try to fix it up and after a day or two there is way too much damage and I need to remove it.

Review: Lush - Lemony Flutter - Cuticle Butter :)
Hello! Let's start new week with a juicy fresh product! :) I believe this is first time ever I am reviewing a Lush product on my blog! And it really was past time I talked about my currently favourite product for hands :P I have received this gorgeous little black pot of pure awesomeness called Lemony Flutter as a birthday gift and I haven't started using it right away, but when I did I fell in love with it!
What does the product promise? - Perfect for softening our hardest bits: knees, elbows, heels, brittle nails and cuticles finally get the attention they deserve. Lemony Flutter revives a traditional method of cream-making that even the Romans would recognise. A little goes a long way, and within just a few applications, those neglected areas will be rejuvenated and smelling delicious, just like lemon curd.
I am using this butter more as a hand cream product and sometimes for any other parts of my body (usually legs) where I feel my skin really needs and extra kick to get hydrated again. I am saving this product mostly just for hands and cuticles, as I find it pretty expensive for 50g, the price in Slovenian stores is 9,95 euros. You can read more info about ingredients here, on their english website.
What I really like about it is that you need a tiny amount for your hands, especially cuticles, it really is such a great product that will last you a long time. Except if you are using this all over your body, than you might find yourself using up this tiny jar very fast. If you will be only using this product for your cuticles this will last you for ages!
The consistency of this butter is well, like butter. It's really easy to melt it and rub it in, it's a butter but it's not too greasy at all. I know many would expect a butter to be greasy and all over the place, but this really sinks in fast! It does leave a nice, protective coating after and your hands feel really smooth.
Just a little warning about the scent - I have read many comments and even my boyfriend commented that this smells, well like lemons, like citronella, but not in a good way. To me this smells amazingly, but I do notice the difference in scent once the product is well rubbed in. Then it turns into a bit more bitter scent, not fresh and creamy lemon you get to whiff out of the pot. Still, I really love the scent overall, but many commented this smelled a bit off to them and even reminded them of baby creams or motor oil.. so I guess you should really try getting your hands on a sample first before purchasing :)
As for what it does to my hands? I have noticed that with regular use my hands are softer, my nails are stronger and are growing faster. But most of all I have noticed how well this worked for my cuticles, they really look much better, more nourished, hydrated. My cuticles are not as dry and chappy as they were before and I believe no other hand cream helped me with my cuticles as much as this product did :)
