Picture Polish Blog/Insta Fest 2014!

I am finally back after a short break with a very special post. I am so happy and excited to participate in Blog/Insta Fest 2014 by Picture Polish which happens to be one of my favorite nail polish brands! This post is broken down in two parts - first task was to swatch a new shade - my was Grace (Part I) and a second task includes nail art design using Nail Vinyls Right Angles with support of 2 other Picture Polish shades Swagger and Bonkers (Part II).

Konačno se vraćam blogovanju nakon letnje pauze sa specijalnim postom. Veoma sam srećna što učestvujem u ovogodišnjem Blog/Insta Festivalu koji organizuje Picture Polish - jedan od mojih omiljenih brendova kada su lakovi za nokte u pitanju. Post sadrži dva dela - prvi zadatak je fotografisanje nove nijanse - moja je Grace (Deo 1), dok drugi zadatak podrazumeva izradu nail art dizajna uz pomoć Nail Vinyls Right Angles stikera i još dve Picture Polish nijanse - Swagger i Bonkers (Deo 2).

Picture Polish Blog/Insta Fest 2014 

Part I - Picture Polish Grace

Picture Polish Grace is elegant dusty pale pink with delicate linear holographic shimmer. The formula is excellent, it applied very smoothly on the nails - I used base coat + 2 coats of Grace and I did not use top coat. The drying time was fast even without top coat.

Picture Polish Grace je elegantan prašnjavo bledo roze lak sa suptilnim linearnim holografskim šimerom. Formula je odlična, lak se lako maže - koristila sam bazu + 2 sloja Grace i nisam koristila nadlak. Vreme sušenja je dosta brzo i bez nadlaka.

I am not sure whether the dress Grace wore in the famous movie To Catch a Thief (collage) served as inspiration for this shade, but I find the base colors almost identical. This shade is truly unique in my "humble" stash with no other polish that I could call a dupe.

Nisam sigurna da li je haljina koju je Grejs nosila u poznatom filmu Uhvatiti lopova (u kolažu gore) poslužila kao inspiracija za ovu nijansu, ali čini mi se da su bazne boje gotovo identične. Ova nijansa je zaista jedinstvena u mojoj "skromnoj" kolekciji i nemam nijedan lak koji bih mogla da nazovem duplikatom.

Part II - Picture Polish Swagger and Bonkers + Nail Vinyls Right Angles

Nail Vinyls Right Angles comes in 4 size stickers so you can choose the most suitable according to the size of your nails and the pattern you want to make. I chose the ones in to the right with thinner lines. I am no nail art expert nor practitioner, so I opted for true simplicity this time. :)

Nail Vinyls Right Angles dolaze u nalepnicama u četiri veličine, tako da možete izabrati onu koja vam najviše odgovara u odnosu na oblik i veličinu noktiju i šemu koju želite da napravite. Za današnji dizajn koristila sam nalepnice sa sitnijom šarom. Znate da nisam ekspert za nail art niti ste ikada imali prilike da isti vidite na blogu, pa sam se zato odlučila za krajnje jednostavan dizajn. :)

Step 1/ Korak 1

Paint your nails with base color and allow to dry completely. I like to keep it simple so I painted all my nails with 2 coats of beautiful sky blue Swagger + fast drying top coat and I waited approximately 15 minutes until the polish was completely dry.

Namažite nokte bojom koju želite da koristite kao podlogu i ostavite da se u potpunosti osuši. Pošto uvek glasam za jednostavnost, sve nokte sam namazala sa dva sloja divne nebo plave boje - Swagger i upotrebila sam brzosušeći nadlak. Sačekala sam otprilike 15 minuta dok se lak nije u potpunosti osušio.

Step 2/Korak 2

Using tweezers apply Nail Vinyls Right Angles over base color to create desired pattern. Firmly attach Nail Vinyls to the nail by tapping carefully all the way to the sidewalls.

Koristeći pincetu nanesite Nail Vinyls Right Angles preko bazne boje kako biste napravili željeni dizajn. Pazite da su Nail Vinyls dobro pričvršćeni za nokat tako što će te pažljivo tapkati nalepnice sve do krajeva.

Step 3/Korak 3

Apply second color to the nails over the Nail Vinyls. I used Picture Polish Bonkers this time.

Nanesite drugu boju na nokte preko Nail Vinyls nalepnica. Ovaj put sam kao drugu boju koristila Picture Polish Bonkers.

Step 4/Korak 4

Again using tweezers carefully remove Nail Vinyls immediately, while the second color is still wet.

Uklonite Nail Vinyls pažljivo koristeći pincetu odmah nakon nanošenja druge boja koja nije potpuno suva.

Step 5/Korak 5

Apply a fast drying topcoat and that's it!
Nanesite brzosušeći nadlak i to je sve!
