This post is also available in: Croatian After all the dark and sultry nail polish shades that you’ve been seeing on my blog lately I’ve decided to go with the flow and make a turn towards some brighter, lighter, more seasonal shade. Spring however is already practically over (I’m running a bit late with this post, you’ll just have to forgive me), but since the shades I’ll be showing you today mostly fall into the spring-summer category, I decided against deleting the spring part from the title. However, I have to tell you that I won’t be giving up on my dark polishes on my toe nails since I’ve always preferred them on the “bottom floor”…just so you know :). Not all polishes in this post are new. Some of them I’ve already featured on the blog and I just want to remind you of them a bit since lately I’ve been using them more often. Some have been purchased a few months back and I still haven’t tried them out (shame on me), while others are recent purchases. So it’s a mix of something old and something new. Also, I won’t be putting swatches of all the polishes in this post but let it rather be a sort of a preview of the shades you’ll be seeing on my blog in the upcoming weeks. I wouldn’t want to show you everything at once and then have no new nail polish posts for you, would I? To begin with, two Bourjois polishes. The first is my all-time favourite blue Bourjois So Laque Glossy 06 Adora-Bleu from last year’s spring-summer collection (my review of a couple of the shades from that collection can be found HERE). This polish was actually featured in the first NOTD I ever did for the blog, but I won’t link to that post ‘cause I’ve since learned that taking photos in front of a yellow wall isn’t the best of choices, so I’m showing you some fresh pics of how it looks on the nails. This is a beautiful, intense sky blue which lasts a solid 3 to 4 days on my nails. If you like blues, make sure to check it out! The second Bourjois is #33 Tangerine Fatal, a stunning coral orange which screams summer. I haven’t shown you this polish yet so it will be coming up soon! After I recently tried out my first Essie ever, a new love affair has been born and when I stumbled upon a discount in a local drugstore I had to get a few more. These three polishes #26 Status Symbol, #263 Full Steam Ahead and #264 Rock the Boat were part of last year’s collection, two soft pastel colours and a vivid hot pink. A NOTD with Full Steam Ahead will be coming your way next week! After my Essie new in, I have three “old” polishes for you which are just perfect for this hot weather. Once spring arrived I started pulling out my beautiful Dior#355 Rosy Bow which I got second-hand last year and which you can see HERE. I doubt you can still find this shade anywhere but on ebay so I guess the only point of showing it to you here is to say how perfect these girly pink shades are for spring. Another thing that made me really fall in love with this polish is how well it lasted on my nails, but considering its steep price tag I’ll be waiting for some very, very special occasion to justify another purchase of one of these beauties. What would this post be without at least one OPI you tell me? My choice is another pink shade, but this time a soft, baby pink OPI Pink-ing of You which you can see HERE. I love such gentle pink shades, especially on long nails and they are a perfect choice for this warm weather. Kiko #389 Lattementa is my favourite mint green and the first Kiko polish I ever tried. It won me over by its intense colour, its shine and especially by the fact that it lasted an entire five days on my nails. And although other shades haven’t proved to be that long-lasting, for the price of 2,50 EUR Kiko nail polish is still a great value for money. You can see this beautiful mint green in action HERE. To end I have two China Glaze polishes which to tell you the truth I’m not in such a great hurry to try out. I bought them back in February along with a third shade which I wrote about HERE, and after my not-so-great experience with the texture and brush I kind of pushed these two to the side. The purple #1038 Gothic Lolita attracted me not only by its colour but also by its quirky name. The shade reminds me of violets and looks simply stunning in the bottle. In real life #1007 Turned up Turquoise is an amazing, vivid turquoise while here it looks a lot more subdued and a lot bluer. I can already tell it will be a hard one to swatch realistically. But I’m willing to forgive as long as it applies smoothly and the thin and long brush doesn’t drive me crazy again. We’ll see how it goes :). So there you go, my ten picks for this season: a few lighter and more pastel shades, a few brighter ones and at least one must-have purple. Which shades have you been sporting these days? Have you gone lighter and brighter or are you in some other nailpolish mood at the moment? Do tell!

This post is also available in: English Nakon svih pustih tamnih i zagasitih nijansi lakova za nokte koje ste mogli kod mene vidjeti odlučila sam se i ja natjerati malo na neke življe, vedrije i veselije boje. Proljeće nam je doduše već praktički prošlo (malo kasnim s tim dijelom, oprostit ćete mi, jel’ da :)), ali s obzirom da se radi uglavnom o nijansama koje bi većina strpala u „proljetno-ljetnu“ kategoriju, nisam htjela micati proljeće iz naslova. Doduše na nožnim prstićima cijelo ljeto ću i dalje ostati vjerna svojim darkerskim nijansama jer mi one na donjem katu najbolje pašu, samo da znate :). Nisu svi lakovi u ovom postu novi. Neke od njih ste već imali prilike vidjeti na blogu, ali želim ovom prilikom malo podsjetiti na njih jer se radi o bojicama koje su sada opet malo intenzivnije zaživjele. Neki su kupljeni davno, ali nisu još uoće isprobani (shame on me), a neki su ulovljeni nedavno. Dakle nešto staro, nešto novo. Također neću u ovaj post stavljati swatcheve svih lakova već neka služi kao svojevrsna najava primjeraka koje ćete moći vidjeti kod mene u nadolazećim tjednima. Ne želim baš ispucati sav materijal odjednom pa da vam nemam više nijedan lak za pokazati :). Za početak dva Bourjois laka. Prvi je moj dragi plavac Bourjois So Laque Glossy 06 Adora-Bleu iz prošlogodišnje proljetno-ljetne kolekcije (recenziju nekolicine lakova iz te kolekcije možete pročitati OVDJE). Inače ovo je bila i prva manikura ikad prikazana na blogu, ali vam je neću linkati jer sam u međuvremenu ipak naučila da nije najpametnija ideja fotkati manikuru ispred žutog zida :)), već vam stavljam svježe fotke. Ova plava je predivna, intenzivna i vedra nebesko plava, trajnost je sasvim solidnih 3, 4 dana i lak je još uvijek dostupan u prodaji tako da ako volite plavce, svakako ga škicnite! Drugi Bourjois je #33 Tangerine Fatal, predivna koraljno narančasta koja opako priziva ljeto. Ovaj lak nije još viđen na blogu pa ga očekujte ubrzo :). Nakon isprobanog prvog Essieja rodila se nova ljubav, a akcija u Bipi je bila prava prilika da nabavim par novih proljetno-ljetnih bojica. Ova tri laka #26 Status Symbol, #263 Full Steam Ahead i #264 Rock the Boat su dio prošlogodišnje kolekcije, dvije nježne pastelne nijanse i jedna žarka ružičasta. Post sa Full Steam Ahead vam stiže idući tjedan! Nakon ovih Essie noviteta, stižu tri laka iz stare postave koji su naprosto savršeni za ovo vruće razdoblje. S dolaskom proljeća svijetlo dana je ugledao i ovaj prekrasni Dior#355 Rosy Bow kojisam nabavila prošle godine iz druge ruke, a koji ste mogli vidjeti OVDJE. Ne vjerujem da se ovaj lak može kod nas više nabaviti (ima ga na ebayu, tamo nema čega nema) pa možda i nema baš prevelikog smisla što vam ga pokazujem, ali ovakve girly pink nijanse su kao stvorena za proljeće. Ono čime me ovaj lak dodatno oduševio je svojom trajnošću po čemu su Dior lakovi izgleda poznati, ali s obzirom na njihovu cijenu morat će se ukazati neka jaaaako posebna prilika da si opravdam kupnju još kojega. Kakav bi ovo post bio bez barem jednoj OPI-ja recite vi meni? Moj izbor je pao na još jednu ružičastu nijansu, ali ovaj put nježnu, baby pink OPI Pink-ing of You koju ste mogli vidjeti OVDJE. Volim ovakve nježne, ružičaste boje, pogotovo na dužim noktima i pravi su mi izbor za ovo toplo vrijeme. Kiko #389 Lattementa je moj najdraži mentol zeleni primjerak i prvi Kiko lak koji sam probala. Oduševio me svojom bojom, svojim sjajem, a naročito svojom trajnošću od čak peta dana na mojom noktima. I iako se druge nijanse nisu pokazale tako trajne, za cijenu od 2,50 EUR Kiko lakovi za nokte ostaju odličan omjer cijene i kvalitete. A ovog lijepog mentolka u akciji možete vidjeti OVDJE. Za kraj imam dva laka za koja iskreno rečeno ne znam kako ćemo se slagati. Kupljeni još u veljači na Sajmu ljepote na velesajmu, nakon prvog isprobavanja trećeg China Glaze primjerka o kojem sam vam pisala OVDJE, nekako mi se nije žurilo uhvatiti se u koštac s ove preostale dvije bočice. Ljubičasti #1038 Gothic Lolita me privukao na kupnju ne samo bojom već i osebujnim nazivom. Nijansa me podsjeća na ljubičice i u bočici mi predivno izgleda. #1007 Turned up Turquoise sam uzela kopirajući našu dragu Anu, poznatiju pod nickom bug-lady, koju sam upoznala na sajmu. Njezine prekrasne manikure možete vidjeti na forumu.hr, a kod naše Dearskin možete pročitati i njezin odličan članak o njezi noktiju OVDJE. Moram doduše upozoriti da njegova boja na ovoj fotki uopće nije realna. U stvarnosti je manje plav, a više tirkizan i još življi i intenzivniji i već vidim da će biti muka uslikati ga na noktima. Ali sve ću mu to oprostiti samo ako se bude lijepo nanosio i ako me tanka i dugačka četkica ne bude opet ljutila. Vidjet ćemo :). I eto to bi bilo mojih deset odabranih za ovu sezonu: nešto svjetlijih i pastelnih, nešto življih, žarkih boja i jedna neizostavna ljubičasta. A koje boje vi nosite u posljednje vrijeme? Jeste li i vi nijanse na noktima prilagodili ovim vrućinama ili ste u nekom potpuno drugačijem raspoloženju? Pišite mi!
