Long time no see? :) Absolutely yes...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just unintentionally clicked on my favorites that led me to my old blog I loved to update back then... I rarely read any blogs now days, just being obsessed with Instagram, because it makes it so easier to keep in touch with some of my favorite sites on my phone while I'm driving back from work...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking back I really miss blogging but as probably all of you know, it takes time for doing it. There's a history I left here and I still love doing my nails but I just can't prepare myself to do my nails more often (or even take some pictures of manicures I do wear). I change my manicure every Sunday, so once per week which is like 3 times less than I used to. Stamping? What's that? I don't remember the last time I stamped my nails... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just wanted to see if there's anyone here? Let me know how are you all doing... :i</div>

Let's try this blogger app on my iphone. :P</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just have to publish this asap! I saw gold toppers floating around but since I'm not spending for polish as much as before, I didn't want to splurge for a top coat with real gold flakes. Until today, but it was cheap as possible - 2,19€ at Drogerie Markt. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Essence came out with a Metal glam collection and one of the polish is this gold topper! In stores now! At least here in Slovenia. </div>
<div>

Few weeks ago I got a package from <a href="http://www.omgnailstrips.com/">OMG nail strips</a> to try their nail strips. I already tried out some of the nail strips on the market, so I got really excited to test them out. :)</div>
<br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRu6bUd3PbbW5CjLsWYfZcHbgYB_3QWeEaomViiS6nQOqRjwctvJ2l3BcuixCoHi_hM2zbgFgYpMCGtvVKN9L8HT3Cc6Ls1lY5ZvCAGpVqXI2HSd_tMQiTIsfTNoekD-CjlQWhPxEKRC1/s640/IMG_8504.png" height="640" width="584" /></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I picked 2 patterns and here's the first one - <a href="http://www.omgnailstrips.com/nail-polish-strips/smiley-nail-polish-strips">Smiley Nail Polish Strips</a>. :L</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Application was super easy, I only had difficulties to find the right size for my nails but after one hand, even that wasn't a problem. I applied them on clean nails, I filed the excess down and added a coat of top coat to seal them on. <a href="http://thenails.net/" target="_blank">Cute nails</a> that made me smile all the time. :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI4zUYqHgYFh45X3g1imUCzq1AoKqeVwdAoEfjS6KWYACe7ZYbF9Ft4lh_7Hc7U6WMvzHI8OpZ_7rcig3a4xahQAdRk1HPcZMCk6bAYOqVWbqImATJzWyyTs0I6wgSD0pwNlSKxPnH2XRG/s1600/IMG_8505.png" /></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I applied them on Sunday and after 5 days there was a tiny tip wear but all in all they still looked wearable. I love that they don't start lifting and they look like I have polish on. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recommend these especially if you want something special on your nails. Not just a plain color but something fun - a nice variety of patterns on their site. I'm really happy that I got a chance to test them out and I can't wait to put my 2nd set on but I'm saving them for special occasions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me know if you already try them out. :) </div>

Let's talk about hair today, shall we? :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I fell in love with Ombre hair some time ago and I always wanted to try it on my hair too. Scared of dead ends and refusing to dye my hair again - it didn't happened. :P But one day I just knew I had to try it when these kits were available everywhere around me. So I gave it a try. Bought <span style="font-size: small;"><b>L'oreal Wild Ombres</b></span> set at DM for around 7€. I choose shade #1 for the dark brown hair, but there're 2 shades more for light hair. My ends were darker before because I used to color my hair in black and chocolate brown. I didn't want to go too light because I think I look better with darker colors and I was scared to get that ugly brassy blond on my ends. :) </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBKl3sPtz5fMWhKRHDiw-OM7mOhQx07f9lG0gpPUG5e05MNxPVPZof5Ppk_LwbiWsDUBQr2lDWsr5EzsWQ3hHDnhgvikrq3PvA4Hm7fGbtPQ1nARGd9RMF689M78DW-SIBDkWrHNjv85s2/s640/blogger-image--1518653170.jpg" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The first thing I liked about this kit is that's so easy to use. Love the brush that comes with this set, because it just makes everything easier. I still have it in case I wanted to go ombre again and then I won't have to buy this kit again, just the bleach. :) I left the bleach working for around half an hour on my hair, then I rinsed it off. I was too scared to leave it for 15 more minutes but for a better effect I should. Or I should repeat the process again, because there's so much color left but my friend wanted ombre too so I dyed her hair. So we both have ombre hair. :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It's subtle just the way I like it and if I'm honest, it shows better on
pictures than in real life. :$ The thing I don't like is that it
killed my ends. My hair was long and healthy, of course you could find
split ends but they were never so dry and damaged. My hair routine
was really simple (I used to use only shampoo) but I had to change it.
It was impossible to deal with all the knots and mess (even with my tangle teezer) so conditioner
solved the brushing a bit. And last week I decided to trim them away again and my hair
is shorter for almost 10 cm and this is the second time I trimmed my
hair, last time I think I cut off around 5 cm. </div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">So all in all, I love this kit - easy to use, brush is great and it makes a lovely ombre effect but I'm hating the fact it killed my ends. Or maybe my hair was already damaged and bleach just made them even worse. I might repurchase it again, since I love ombre effect and would love to have a slightly lighter hair but we'll see, I don't know! :D If you want to try ombre, the easiest and one of the cheapest ways is probably with this set (it's worth to buy it for the first time to get a brush). :) But without any damaged hair, hair dresser is the best solution. :) Maybe it'll work for you.</span></div>

Some time ago I fell in love with rainbow nails. I wanted to try them out but somehow I didn't have patience to do them. So one day, when I was really really bored, I knew I had to give them a try. :P</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's all about gradient and with a perfect color combination you can make amazing rainbow nails. I wish I had a collection of neons, because you know how much I adore neons and rainbow neon manicure sounds awesome! :L</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hot Monday and I'm ready to post something here. :)</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The biggest problem I have now is that I'm wearing just simple manicures all the times - mostly neon pink on my nails. I didn't stamp my nails for ages, only layering here and then. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Few weeks ago I spent a week at aunt's place in Croatia. I was bored so I decided to try a combo I had in my head for ages. Shocking Pink by China Glaze topped with black and white glitter Connect the dots from Lynnderella. I was absolutely happy with the final result. Enough talking, here are the pics. :i</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lately I'm sporting nubs all the time since I can't grow them out. They're weak and they're peeling all the time so I'm rather having nubs at the moment. </div>
</div>

My pics aren't best because neons are really hard to capture on photos but at least I tried. :$ </div>

So, <i><b>dotted jeans</b></i>. Something I wanted so bad but couldn't find a pair for myself. Marc Jacobs - too expensive. :( Zara - they're perfect but after trying them on - not really flattering on my body shape. So, I had an idea of making my own pair of dotted jeans.</div>

Then the drawing begin. Just make dots with chalk. When you're done, you can also place dots made from paper on jeans so you can see the final result. :i <br>

Few days ago I got a cute package from a Slovenian online store. They surprised me with a mini pack of OPI Mariah Carey's liquid sand collection. I'm seeing this trend everywhere at the moment and I couldn't wait to test them out. Since I got a mini pack and didn't want to just swatch them, I decided to go with skittles. :P I added 2 coats of each and I was surprised with a gritty effect but I just love it! :L It truly looks like a sand on your nails, perfect! Which one is your fave? </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
V sredo me je v dobro voljo spravil paketek iz spletne trgovine <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.zapikonai.si/">Za Piko na i</a></span></span>. :i Dobila sem priložnost preizkusiti mini set OPI lakov iz kolekcije Mariah Carey. V paketu je bil tudi OPI koledar, ki sem se ga res razveselila in že krasi mojo sobo. :L </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkuX_-HJZrYZ3RTWesDiTqOk2Yrb6SAsdTIcCwA2b7xtYlhq9olFYYAJAL8nHdZ-iaH4cHZYwbX_W4oCpgSUKVywp-BdJJgaA5jJ0I5YGCOW-XgrmYBvp1NyianeE7-cROVNcpEp5m72pk/s1600/photo.png" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Liquid sand tekstura je nekaj novega pri OPI-ju in seveda vseh drugih znamkah, ki sledijo tem trendu. V kolekciji Mariah Carey so štirje taki odtenki. Ker nimam 10 rok, kjer bi lahko preizkusila vse lake naenkrat, sem se odločila za skittlse in tako ubila 4 muhe na en mah. :P</div>
<br />

<br />
Posušijo se v strukturiran mat finiš, kar jih naredi posebne - kot pesek na nohtih. :L<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Z nanosom nisem imela nobenih težav. Po prvem sloju so sicer malo bolj prozorni ampak z debelejšim drugim slojem sem dosegla popolno prekrivnost. Izognila sem se nadlaku, ker bi potem izničila ta mat efekt, ampak tudi to bom morala poskusiti v naslednjih dneh. :L Naj omenim še, da so v živo še lepši, saj mi nikakor ni uspelo ujeti bleščečih drobcev, ki so v živo zelo opazni. :$</div>
<br />
<br />
Hecno - včasih me je ta grobi občutek pri nekaterih glitter lakih zelo motil, zato sem vedno dodala najmanj 2 sloja nadlaka. :D Ampak po pliš nohtih, ki jih obožujem, sem vzljubila tudi ta efekt. :$<br />
<br />
Več OPI lakov, ki jih lahko kupite na Za piko na i, lahko najdete <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.zapikonai.si/laki-za-nohte/OPI/Galerija/">tukaj</a></span></span>. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Last week I got a package from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty Store</a> and I couldn't wait to try this neon pink flocking powder. The container is huge, I expected it to be smaller but at least I won't run out of it anytime soon. :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 easy steps you need to follow to do fuzzy nails:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">1st step (optional):</span></b> Apply base coat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">2nd step:</span></b> Apply similar base color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>3rd step:</b></span> Sprinkle flocking powder on your nail when the polish is still wet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>4th step:</b></span> Dab the powder gently with your finger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>5st step:</b></span> Sweep away the excess with a brz.</div>

I got <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/nail-tweezers-flocking-powder-manicure-nail-p-4511.html">tweezers</a>, <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/flocking-powder-manicure-nail-nail-polish-colors-p-4507.html">flocking powder</a> in the the shade <b>Hot Pink</b> and that little <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/nail-brush-flocking-powder-manicure-nail-p-4510.html">brush</a>, which I don't recommend, because it sheds like crazy. Use a fluffy brush you don't need, or those fan brushes you get in a nail art brush set. :) I used this brush but all the bristles ended in the flocking powder so I couldn't put it back to use it later. I really don't want them on my nails next time. xD</div>

I've been still pretty busy but I'll try to update my blog more often. I feel quilty when I see a number of followers but at the same time I just love to be lazy when I can and do nothing. Seriously, I'm so lazy you can't even imagine. xD</div>

This manicure I wore last week. Simple but elegant! I used loose glitter for half moons I got from BPS, which I used for <a href="http://zabranjeni-grad.blogspot.com/2012/06/framed-nails.html">framed nails</a>. Pretty simple to make one, all you need is patience to place the glitters. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My nails are in worst condition - still peeling and weak so I'm keeping them short. I'm still painting my nails all the time, I just don't find time or great light to take photos that's why I'm not posting as much as before..</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
... to say hi to all my old and new followers. :) My life is really busy atm so I'm not really able to blog as before + I have some major issues with my lap top. I still paint my nails all the time of course, but I'm sharing pictures mostly on Instagram - IvanaThinksPink if you would like to follow me there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, my nails were pretty long but when I started with a job few weeks ago, I broke every possible piece of my nail so I'm stucked with nubs! They're peeling and so weak but I hope I'll get them back into last condition in a few weeks. I admire all of you who can have long nails and work with your hands a lot! :)</div>
<br />
I'll share some pics from Instagram so you can see some of my manicures... :P<br />

So I have been so uninspired lately and I'm not really wearing anything special on my nails. I got some goodies from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty Store</a> for review and this will probably be the lamest review but here we go. :i</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was a misunderstanding and I got wrong phone cases I wanted to try out. I got 2 cute Iphone 4/4s cases which obviously don't fit on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I was a bit sad because I was excited about these but okay I'm getting the right ones next time and I already found a new home for them, just need to ship them out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI3HvFjO3uq1DjiQaNwEX2Tl4rnmsi9Oq1WN9a44f0zgoLvCpP-Xoy4i4ALZlGXBkaJTmLEccUMEGCaoKLpKttIccm2b2eJCx1jVPbPP1Tx7Z7W6H2j3I38axOgzsB86mcJnyG3WBcE3Rb/s1600/iphone_cases.png" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really like the bow case because it's so cute and I loove cute stuff! :i Dots looks cute too and both phone cases feel really sturdy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then I got some studs. Studs are really everywhere so if you want to be in trend, be sure you check their studs. I got <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/gold-stud-rhinestone-acrylic-nail-p-3345.html">rounded gold studs</a>, maybe a bit too big for my taste but what I really love about them that they are pretty flat and I love flat stuff for nails. Here I took a picture of the neon pink ones I already showed you <a href="http://zabranjeni-grad.blogspot.com/2012/09/video-tutorial-hot-pink-studded-nails.html">here</a> so you can see that these are bigger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOsGb2NePFm3yvStifgQ8hnCDV73ydZub3WYDT0aYmPiZqEu9anWTlEO9Xp2WjWJdTxsY7yzfvmUR2U04rhLQyM07GnNIjKfEa776tqNg8I1xrXXuPKUOonLL5X_aapSSMXgAMijC6UbmE/s1600/studs.png" /></div>
<br />
I was lacking of inspiration so I just made an accent nail with them...Pretty boring I know! :D<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEian3x1aXluSOq7rq9-IYQW0NUxuLnx49LTzJmi9SVXPu2He4WcLoRFwg2vzSROTV8In78BsfYXv-AF98rCPmIJOZVQDqPsop3lJl1YlSK0IGDKmXfnxmzDyW6ya_Tli7fDOQBrM_I6Ln1g/s1600/studded_gradient.png" /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Gradient</b>: <a href="http://zabranjeni-grad.blogspot.com/2011/10/essence-very-berry.html">Essence - Very Berry</a> & Essence - Meet me now</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last but not least I got the loose <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/nail-glitter-dust-powder-bright-pink-sheet-decoration-p-792.html">deltoid shaped glitter</a> in iridescent pink which I used on my Halloween manicure. It looks pink in the pot but over black became orange to green but I'll have to use it over different colors. I applied a coat of black polish and put my nail into the pot so the glitter has stuck on my nail. Applied a layer of top coat to get a smooth surface and that's it! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwqR_iSl5X3AmHs1_8T2Opt4o7vHQgDT4NbwGeQjGKn2XOnyCqBED2Gy2fQM65dz9TlSUNqlhuE4K5M6WZl_w48qPPtt38jUlN-5R26L4G-0t3AA7vXp96_0wB9Aq4wgop21H4QGQP85HG/s1600/loose_glitter.png" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Close up, full mani <a href="http://zabranjeni-grad.blogspot.com/2012/10/bloody-manicure-for-halloween.html">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVKQ4RqUxN8IfVo_O4dDPyf69FRGl9voC4w7BS8VAm47TAnsmZO-I3K-UyPPPA26hZwYRYpqqnxpy51EYzGjaTfVAMkrCZb9H6wapTTIsv2vDb67dPJKtt_k4M2ZfwrYR9W5dLVZRWHFZJ/s320/deltoid_glitter.png" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm sorry for this really bad review. :$ I know you can't really help yourself but I would recommend the studs and the cases, not really a fan of this deltoid shaped glitter, because it's pretty small so you can't really place them on one by one, I'm just too lazy for that. :-D I'm more a hexagonal glitter fan in every possible color, yes please!!!! </div>
<br />
Don't forget to use code <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">J10X31</span></span> to get 10% off on your order. ;)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh and thanks for all the votes for my Halloween manicure I posted in my last post. I didn't make it to the top 13 but I was happy to at least try! :D Now please help me bring my inspiration back and tell me what would you love to see here. :)</div>

Bundle Monster is having a Halloween contest and I really wanted to join but the final outcome wasn't so awesome as I thought it will be. I didn't have time to recreate it so today I submitted my entry. Here it is... Idea on my ring finger was something I was expecting to be much better as it is... I wanted to look like I have a zipper on my nail and it's all bloody when you open it. :D </div>

I decided to go with same colors as before, because I loved it and now I'm loving it even more, because my nails are longer now. :i</div>

Since I got so many lovely comments on this manicure I showed you <a href="http://zabranjeni-grad.blogspot.com/2012/07/inspired-by-harlequin-hardware-manicure.html">here</a> and I didn't really know if I should continue with tutorials or not, I decided to try it again. Same steps like the first time, I just changed a pink polish I used before.</div>

I got a request to make a video tutorial about stamping. First I didn't know if I should really make one, because I can stamp my nails really bad sometimes, especially with some difficult patterns. But then I decided to film myself doing an easy zebra pattern. I love animal prints, because they're easy to stamps and mistakes are barely visible, so double win. :i</div>
<br />
My hands look so bad on these pictures I took. Manicure was so bright in person, because I decided to use Beach Cruiser from Orly. I'm in love with this polish, just like with Fancy Fuchsia. :L<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7tKlUf6edn6eH_3K_xN99tv8bcIqERjk3W43rDD_Y1MNCcAlKgN5SXnN5xM4BfnVtMkTiATrCRFng44bTJaEDs1w83srOUzll9FVQcomB7sk3xUCuCAVTu6Hq7dPxmHCHapVQKpdu3d0o/s1600/Orly_beach_cruiser_bm-223.png" /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Stamper</b> ~ there's a few different versions of stampers like this one I'm using in this video or double sided. If your stamper doesn't pick the color well, try to file it a bit to make it a bit rough.<br /><br /><b>Scraper</b> ~ I'm using my old plastic card as a stamper, because it works great and it doesn't scratch my plates like metal scraper I have. I would suggest a plastic scraper over metal, but even old credit card works just fine.<br /><br /><b>Stamping polish</b> ~ I'm using stamping polish but sometimes you don't need them, because regular polish can work with stamping too... Especially metallics and one coaters, holos,... You need to experiment to see if they work or not.<br /><br /><b>Double stamping</b> ~ I always have to double stamp my thumbs and other nails if they're long as in this video. Some patterns are really easy to line up and get a perfect stamp, like this zebra print I'm using in this video.<br /><br /><b>Top coat</b> ~ Some top coats don't work great with stamping, because they smear the pattern. If you have those problems, be sure you gave a enough top coat on the brush. If the top coat still smudges the pattern, try another top coat.</span></div>

I wanted to film how I do gradients on my nails and since I loved my <a href="http://zabranjeni-grad.blogspot.com/2012/04/pink-orange-gradient-nails.html">orange and pink gradient</a> I did a while ago I decided to recreate them. Here's a video...</div>

Same polishes used as before, just a bit different technique and reverse version. I prefer applying polish directly to the sponge, I find it way easier. Pictures...</div>

I got these hot pink studs from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" rel="nofollow">Born Pretty Store</a> and I wanted to combine them with black but all blacks I have were too thick to use. After searching and trying to come up with another color combination, I stumbled upon a black I bought years ago and it still looked usable. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hot neon pink and black is probably my fave color combination so I was so happy when I managed to do my nails in that combo. :e</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's what I came up with...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm so in love with this manicure! :L First I wanted silver and gold studs but when I saw these, I knew I had to try them out. You can find them <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/pink-stud-rhinestone-acrylic-nail-yg01-p-3963.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> on BPS. :e</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These studs are round and big as rhinestones so the surface is really bumpy, which can be annoying and I have to hold back to not pull them off but when I look at my nails I think it's worth it. :D</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm wearing this manicure for 2 days and some of the studs are missing but I could wear it for another day or two. They start falling off eventually but I think they still look pretty. :)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just want to share a word or two about <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/cuticle-cutter-nipper-nail-stainless-steel-clipper-p-397.html" rel="nofollow">cuticle cutter</a> I got from BPS. They're really sharp and you can use them for many reasons. Just don't use them for cuticles! I usually cut those hang nails if I got them or like I did in Funky French Video, I used them for cutting the tape. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgixeOHtC5Q2KLsjhOIgt7rz7NUBdXMvDy1TKdqm1c1vHp74KVMkQDjbWoGaJ8-TANfacqOnvhYY3laFY1SU8XFAeem3hXV5WoSgk20Y-iGWzkFHvVkQvl4UBQ5_jjo2N1GU5ciOfgA6aiJ/s1600/cuticle_cutter.png" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are more versions of cuticle cutters on BPS, but even the cheapest works great! :)</div>

The other day was really sunny and I needed a quick manicure so I picked one of my favorite polish I own. I got this polish from <a href="http://rainbows-and-blues.blogspot.com/">Kvacka</a> (thank you :h) and I still can't believe I finally own it. I'm talking about <b>Tickle my Triangle</b> from Kaleidoscope collection.

Then I decided to experiment with my phone
again so I tried to film how I usually do a funky french. I change an
angle of filming so I hope you can see better. I use striping tape for any kind of french manicure, because it gives reall precise line on tips.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only
problem now was editing text, because I didn't realize it doesn't show
up great because of the too bright lightning and white text isn't
really visible.I could change it but it took almost 8 hours to upload on
YouTube and I don't have patience to wait again. :/</div>
