Gold Bubbles On Raspberry Red

Hello guys and happy Friday! Today I have to share with you a fun nail look. I adore these gold nail decorations, they match the berry-red shade of this nail polish really well. It was a fun look to wear, it's great if you want to spice up your work week, but even better suited for a special occasion. By the way, what do you think of my bling ring?

Products used:

Nail polish: essence, colour&go, 175 be berry now!, 3 coats: I wore a base coat underneath, as I always do. This shade is perfect for my skin tone, it's the shade of a ripe raspberry. It really brought out the shade of the gold decorations and really made them pop. This polish has the perfect texture and it dries fast. One coat is enough for full coverage, but I wore three coats because I wanted to see if the decorations would stick without using nail glue (they did). Essence changed up their entire nail polish line, so you could find this polish recently on sale. I only noticed tip wear with this polish, so it did not chip.

Ring: I get all my bling rings in Zagreb, Radićeva Ulica, where they have a lot of fun jewelry stores. 

Nail Decoration Wheel: bornprettystore.com, 3D Nail Decoration Wheel, #17227

400Pcs Box, Newly Gold Silver Round, Flat Back, Acrylic UV Gel, Nail Art Decoration Hot Selling Wheel (3.52 $)

First of all, these decorations fit my nails perfectly. I only used nail polish to attach them (I would still recommend nail glue, since it's safer), and they did not stick out. I love both shades, however I used only gold ones for this look because it's a better match to the shade of the nail polish. The decorations are reusable, but there's no need to save them since you get a lot in this package. The bottom of the decorations is flat, and the top is round (half a bubble). I loved wearing them, and I think they look awesome in the photos (and in real life). The final look reminded me of something a red mermaid might wear. I'm so happy with how the final look turned out, and I highly recommend this nail wheel, I had a lot of fun using it. It's so easy to use and it looks stunning in person.

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.

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 Nails I Stole From The Sales Lady

Hello everyone! The other day while I was shopping I saw that the sales lady had the most gorgeous ombre nails. It's so much fun seeing ombre nails on someone random. Anyways, if you know one thing about me, you know how much I love ombre. So I had to copy her look. I LOVED wearing this combo, and it goes really well with all my gold rings from H&M. All the info on the products used is below.

Products used:

Thumb: essence, colour&go, 106 'Free Hugs' - I'm wearing 3 coats of this polish. This neon shade has a very watery texture, but I can make it work. I fell in love with this shade, it's very appropriate for the summer. Doesn't chip easily.

Pointer: Gabrini, 366 - One coat is enough, the texture and pigmentation is great, but it has a very strong smell (like chemicals). The smell that nail polishes used to have, like 20 years ago.

Middle: S-he stylezone, dm, 004 - I'm wearing 3 coats. This polish is way too watery for my taste, and the worst thing about it is: it dyed my nail pink! I did wear a base coat underneath (not featured in the photos), and this shade still managed to color my nail. Creepy. Also, it dries very slow. Avoid it.

Ringer: Catrice, 130 'Lucky In Lilac' - I'm wearing 2 coats, but 1 coat is enough. I got this polish a long time ago, but I hardly ever use it, so I'm glad I took it out. It looks great.

Pinky: essence, colour&go, old collection - This is why I love the essence nail polishes. This polish is super old, yet the color and the texture is still amazing. I prefer these old bottles to the new ones, and I wish I could still find these. I love that even though it's a dark purple shade, you can still tell that it's purple, and it doesn't look brown or black.

Top coat: essence, studio nails, top sealer (high gloss) - fast drying, provides very high shine.

Ring: 3 in 1 ring set from H&M, mentioned in THIS POST

What do you think? Ombre or No Ombre? I just love this look, it's so ME. Anyways, I have been busy the last few weeks, so I thought I might prepare a nice nail post for you guys. Hope you liked it.

Until next time, love, J.

Red Polish, Gold Water Decals

Hello guys! Today's nail look was so much fun to wear. I love this dark red polish shade, it's perfect for autumn. The water decals look gorgeous in real life, and they're very durable. I've worn them before and love them! Sadly, I haven't snapped too many good photos when I wore this look. Nevertheless, I decided to post it anyways.

Products used:

Base coat: essence, studio nails, 24/7 nail base: I'm not really a fan of this base, though I like how this looks by itself - it's a sheer matte shade.

Polish: L'Oreal, Resist&Shine, no.603: This polish might be the reason why I am not in the mood to purchase any new L'Oreal polishes. You see, the shade has good pigmentation and texture, but the polish leaves red lines on everything you touch. Even 4 days later, when you know it's dry! Like, if you pull your nail over paper, cardboard or plastic, you're left with long red lines (like lines from coloring pens) that will not wash off. Not cool L'Oreal, not cool.

Top coat: essence, studio nails, better than gel nails, top sealer, high gloss: a great top coat

Thumb: smart girls get more, no.117: I love their glitters, however, it's difficult to apply a thicker layer. Still, it's very sparkly and dries very fast.

Pointer&Pinky: essence colour&go, 67 Make It Golden: an oldie but a goodie. Too bad this is no longer available. It's by far my favorite glitter top coat.

Water decals: N.NAIL Golden Dots And Stars Pattern Nail Water Decals [NNAIL-WDHHC046-Gold] from KKCenterHk: a perfect product! Durable, easy to use and look amazing. 10/10

So, are you feeling these golden water decals? Do you like gold on your nails? Ugh, today I have to clean my room and rearrange all my make up. Wish me luck LOL. Until the next post, follow me on FB, Twitter or bloglovin'.

Skittles With A Massive Ring

Hey guys! I'm so sorry for not posting for a long time, I have been so busy with college and the weather in Croatia has been horrible, snow and darkness... But now I'm back, and sunny weather is approaching, so I better get on with this post....This is a fun skittles look I wore a while ago. It's really not a winter look, but I just had to wear something colorful to get my mind off the cold. I used only Essence and Catrice products in this look (photo below), and they were all very slow to dry, I wasnt impressed. The ring is ridiculous, so I figured it matches this look very well haha. Enjoy the photos, see you in the next post! ;)

The Dotted Red

Hello there ! :)

So this look was inspired by this gorgeous red dotted ring I have, and I looked at it one day and thought to myself 'I wonder what this might look like on my nails?' I ended up absolutely loving it! Even though at first I thought it was too much...hmm....'halloween'? But I actually fell in love with it....The red polish used is Catrice 'Bloody Mary To Go', one of my favorites...it's a beautiful red...I in general LOVE Catrice polishes because they're really affordable and the quality is great compared to the price. The black dots are Essence, 'Stampy polish' - I use this polish a lot when I'm creating dots because it's a very very dark true black...

Hope you all enjoyed this post! ;)
