Black & White Nail Challenge

Pa poglejmo vseh 10 manikur izziva. 
Lets see all 10 challenge manicures, shall we. 

Black & White Nail Challenge - Day 10

Tole je pa hitro minilo! Pokažem vam le še zadnjo manikuro našega izziva (ki ga bom kar pogrešala, super je bilo razmišljati o novih idejah). Lahko smo naredile, kar smo želele, le da smo dodale nekaj črnega in belega.
This went by fast! I'm only gonna show you one last manicure of our challenge (I'll miss it though, it was great to plan all the new ideas). We could do whatever we wanted as long as we used black and white with it. 

Odločila sem se za mojo najnovejšo pridobitev - Essence Marble Mania lak v odtenku Peaches. 
I've decided to use my recently bought nail polish - Essence Marble Mania Peaches.

Black & White Nail Challenge - Day 9

Skoraj zadnja manikura v izzivu. Ampak tale mi pa sploh ni uspela, pa se mi res ni ljubilo vsega skupaj ponavljati. Zamisel mi je všeč, izvedba pa ne. Mi oprostite, če vam obljubim, da se bom pri zadnji manikuri toliko bolj potrudila? 

Almost the last manicure in the challenge. But this one didn't work for me and I didn't have the time or the will to do it again. I like the idea but not the result. Will you forgive me if I promise you to do better in my last manicure?

Začela sem z belim Dependom.

I've started with white Depend.

Black & White Nail Challenge - Day 8

Pa gremo že proti koncu izziva. Tokrat smo se morale "spopasti" s sponging tehniko. Zame je bil to kar izziv, glede na to da sem s spongingom poskusila le enkrat, pa še takrat ne preveč uspešno. 
And the challenge is slowly coming to an end. This time we had to do something with sponging technique. It was quite a challenge for me, considering I've tried sponging only once and it's wasn't really successful. 

Najprej sem uporabila Beauty UK lak Frozen Kingdom.
As a base I've used Beauty UK's Frozen Kingdom.

Black & White Nail Challenge - Day 7

Danes sem malo pozna. Ampak nisem pozabila, ne-ne. 7. dan izziva - črno-belo z bleščicami! Za osnovo sem uporabila dva že videna laka, Barry M črni odtenek in bel Depend. 
I'm a bit late today. But I didn't forget, no-no. 7th day of challenge is here black and white with glitters! As a base I've used two polishes you've already seen - Barry M Black and a white Depend.

Black & White Nail Challenge - Day 6

Pa smo čez polovico! Za 6. dan je na vrsti barvni lak z nečim belim. Odločila sem se za nekaj čisto preprostega. Najprej sem uporabila svoj najljubši lak - Barry M Block Orange.
And half of the manicures have been done! For day 6 we have to use some color and add something white. I've decided to do something very simple. First, my favorite nail polish - Barry M Block Orange.

Black & White Nail Challenge - Day 5

Za 5. dan izziva smo morale ustvariti manikuro z barvno podlago in nečim črnim. Vedela sem, da bom uporabila Barry M nadlak s croc efektom, nisem pa ga želela uporabiti na zlatem laku, ker je to že preveč tipično. Namesto tega sem uporabila modro-vijoličen Konad lak (mislim, da je odtenek Pastel Lavender, ampak nisem prepričana, ker mi je nalepka odpadla), ki mi ga je (prav tako kot croc nadlak) podarila Maja z ličila.si.

For the 5th day of our challenge we had to create a manicure with color base and something black. I knew I wanted to use Barry M croc effect nailpolish but didn't wan't to use gold as a base, because that's just too typical. So I used Konad regular nail polish instead (I think it's Pastel Lavender, but I'm not sure, because I've lost the sticker with shade name). I've got both of the polishes from ličila.si.

Konad lak ima več vijoličnega pridiha v sebi kot pa je videti na fotkah - ni se hotel fotografirati drugače, pa še svetloba ni bila ravno popolna. Ampak nanaša se ga kot v pravljici - čopič je sicer običajen, ampak očitno kot ustvarjen za moje nohte, in ena plast je lahko z nekoliko previdnim nanašanjem povsem dovolj za popolno prekrivnost.

Konad nail polish has more purple in it than it's visible on photos - it just didn't photograph well and the lighting wasn't the best. But it applies really well - the brush is quite usual, but obviously perfect for my nails and one coat can be enough for full opacity if you're careful with application.

Black & White Nail Challenge - Day 4

Gremo, 4. dan! Bela podlaga z nekaj barve. Ker sem pred kratkim kupila Barry M Racing Green, sem se ga odločila tokrat poskusiti.
Lets go, day 4! White base with some color. I've bought Barry M Racing Green recently, so this was a chance to try it out. 

Najprej sem uporabila Beauty UK Frozen Kingdom:

Black & White Nail Challenge - Day 3

Čas pa kar hitro mineva, na vrsti je že 3. dan izziva, tokrat nekaj barvnega na črni podlagi. Odločila sem se za Essence Ballerina Backstage Grand-Plie in Black, ki je lep črni odtenek z oranžnimi bleščicami.
Time flies fast, it's day 3 of our challenge! This time some color on black base. I've decided for Essence Ballerina Backstage Grand-Plie in Black, a beautiful black shade with orange glitters.

Black & White Nail Challenge - Day 2

Pa nadaljujmo z izzivom. Za drugi dan ustvarjamo z belo po črni. Kot črno bazo sem uporabila Barry M Black: 
Let's continue with the challenge. Second day is about white on black. First, I've applied Barry M Black:

In izziv se pričenja! 
And the Black & White Nail Challenge begins!
Prvi dan naj bi ustvarjale s črno barvo po beli bazi. Najprej sem uporabila Dependov beli lak v odtenku 031:
For day one we're supposed to do something black on a white base. As a base I've used Depend 031:

Jutri ... Tomorrow ...

... se začne Black & White Nail Challenge! Ko nama je Mateja (organizatorka poleg Dolores) pisala o izzivu, nisva niti razmišljali, ampak se takoj pridružili - Mateje se pač ne zavrne. ;) Ker druga obnavlja svoje nohte, bom objavljala le jaz, končno bom malo razmigala možgane in uporabila domišljijo. Bomo videli, kaj se da storiti z dvema barvama.
... Black & White Nail Challenge starts! When Mateja (who organized it with Dolores) wrote us to join we didn't even think to say no - well, you can't reject another Mateja! ;) One of us is trying to get her nails better, so only I will post the manicures. I'll finally think a bit more and use my imagination. We'll see what I can do with only two colours.
