My experience with base/top coats

11:41

Hey guuuuuuys!

Pozdrav ljudiiiiiiiiii!


I did my nail care routine, so I wanted to do this next. I can not point out enough how important
base coats and top coats are, at least to me. Let's just start by explaining what are they and what are they supposed to do for our nails and our manicure.

Napisala sam kako brinem za nokte, a ovo sam htjela iduće napisati. Nemogu dovoljno istaknuti
koliko su bazni lakovi i nadlakovi važni, barem meni. Idemo početi s objašnjenjem što su oni i što
bi trebali činit za naše nokte i naše manikure.


BASE COATS / BAZNI LAKOVI


For me, base coats main purpose is to protect the natural nail. There are different types of base coats,
and you choose one that should repair the condition your nail currently has and improve them.

* Hydrating base coat - use for dry and brittle nails
* Ridge-filling base coat - use to smooth-out gapes (ridges) you have on your nails
* Strengthening base coat - use to make your nails stronger
* Nail growth base coat - use to make your nails grow faster
* Sticky base coat - helps nail polish stay on your nails longer
* Basic base coat - use to protect nails from nail polish


Za mene, glavna svrha baznog laka je da zaštiti prirodni nokat. Ima različitih tipova baza, i Vi birate onu
bazu koja bi trebala popraviti stanje u kojem su trenutno Vaši nokti i poboljšati ih.

* Hidratantni bazni lak - za suhe i krhke nokte
* Bazni lak za popunjavanje neravnina 
* Bazni lak za jačanje nokta - za krhke i lomljive nokte
* Bazni lak za poticanje rasta noktiju 
* Ljepljivi bazni lak - pomaže laku da duže ostane na noktima
* Osnovni bazni lak - štiti nokte od laka


When I just started getting into nails, my nails were so unhealthy. This was my first base coat ever, it made
my nails strong, heathy, and they grew really fast. It was O.P.I  the original NAIL ENVY.

Kad sam se tek počela zanimat za nokte, moji nokti su bili tako nezdravi. Ovo je bio moj prvi bazni lak
ikad, zbog njega su mi nokti postali jaki, zdravi i vrlo su brzo rasli. 
To je bio O.P.I  the original NAIL ENVY.





Then I used an essence base coat ( I'd insert a pic but didn't take it and I don't remember which base coat was it. A few months ago I took a deep breath and cleared out my storage, threw away a lot of empty-ish polishes that couldn't be used anymore, yes, I rolled them and shook them, they were in a really bad condition, don't judge :'( LOL ) in which I put chopped garlic. I read that somewhere and decided to try it.
The smell of it was... So nasty. BUT, it worked wonders for my nails!

Onda sam koristila essenceov bazni lak ( Stavila bih sliku, ali ga nisam slikala i više se ne sjećam kojeg sam
koristila. Prije par mjeseci sam duboko udahnula i očistila "skladište", bacila puno skoro praznih bočica laka 
koje se više nisu mogle koristiti, da, kotrljala sam ih i tresla, bili su u stvarno lošem stanju,  
ne sudite mi:'( LOL ) u kojeg sam stavila sjeckani češnjak. To sam negdje pročitala i odlučila pokušati.
Miris je bio... Tako užasan. ALI, radio je čuda za moje nokte!


And then one day, I went to my dm, you know, I just decided to take a walk, an innocent walk. Then I bought some nail polishes and was so happy. The End. NO, LOL. I saw these new nail polishes which I
haven't seen before and picked one base coat up. And I've buying it ever since! Now this base coat is
a life saver! It's my baby, and I don't know what would I do without it. 
Whatever bad happened to my nails this baby fixed it.
Ladies and gentleman, I present you: *intense drum roll*
EVELINE 8in1 TOTAL ACTION INTENSIVE NAIL CONDITIONER
* huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge fireworks and the crowd goes craaaaaaaaaazyyyyyyy*
I think this is the only right way to present this miracle.

I onda jednog dana, odem u svoj dm, znate, olučila sam prošetat, nevina šetnja. Onda sam kupila neke lakove i bila tako sretna. Kraj. NE, LOL.  Vidila sam neke nove lakove koje nikad prije nisam vidila i
skupim 1 bazni lak. I od tog trenutka ga kupujem stalno! Ovaj bazni lak spašava život! On je moja beba,
i neznam što bih bez njega.Što god se loše dogodilo mojim noktima, ova beba je to popravila.
Dame i gospodo, ja Vam predstavljam: *intenzivni bubnjevi*
EVELINE 8in1 TOTAL ACTION INTENSIVE NAIL CONDITIONER
* oooooooooooouuugromni vatromet i publika poludiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*
Ja mislim da je ovo jedini način da predstavim ovo čudo.



I love you, EVELINE 8in1 TOTAL ACTION INTENSIVE NAIL CONDITIONER. <3

Volim te, EVELINE 8in1 TOTAL ACTION INTENSIVE NAIL CONDITIONER. <3


I also have the EVELINE MAXIMUM NAILS GROWTH one, but meeeeh. 
It's great but my nails and 8in1 are married. 

Također imam i EVELINE MAXIMUM NAILS GROWTH, ali meeeeh.
Odličan je ali moji nokti i 8in1 su vjenčani.





Now the top coats. A top coat is a clear polish and is used after you paint you nails. It seals in your designs,
some make your nail polish dry faster, makes your manicure last longer, makes it glossier.
Unless.... matte top coat. ( I have a love-hate relationship with matte nails, mostly hate. )

Sad nadlakovi. Nadlak je proziran lak koji se koristi nakon sto nalakirate nokte. Čuva Vam dizajn, od nekih
će Vam se brže osušit lak, zbog njih Vam manikura traje duže, i čini je sjajnijom.
Osim ako je nadlak....... mat nadlak. ( Imam volim-mrzim vezu sa mat noktima, uglavnom mrzim.)




essence quick dry top coat - I love this one, it really dries quick and makes my manicure last longer.

essence brzosušeći nadlak - Volim ovaj, stvarno se brzo suši i manikura traje duže s njim.




essence gel-look top coat - Bought this one because "Awh, pink top coat". This is the only thing I ever 
and always will hate from essence. This makes me so angry. FFFUUUUU gel-look top coat.

essence gle-izgled nadlak - Kupila ga zbog "Joj, rozi nadlak". Ovo je jedina stvar koju mrzim i koju ću
uvijek mrzit od essences. Čini me tako ljutom. J*ebi se gel-look nadlak.




CATRICE QUICK DRY & HIGH SHINE top coat- I loved this one too!

CATRICE BRZOSUŠEĆI I VISOKI SJAJ nadlak - I ovaj mi se svidio!





essence nail art GLOW in the night top coat, 18 fly firefly fly - Glow in the dark? Nope. Use it as a 
matte top coat. By that I mean I've figured out a manicure in which I'll use this one. 

essence nail art SVIJETLI u noći nadlak, 18 fly firefly fly - Svijetli u noći? Ne baš. Koristim ga kao mat
nadlak. Pod tim mislim da sam smislila manikuru u kojoj ću ga koristiti.





EVELINE 3in1 TOP COAT, DRY, HARD AND SHINY NAILS IN 60-SECONDS is my current
top coat. It's really good and does all the things it's supposed to do, but it's really watery.

EVELINE 3u1 NADLAK, SUHI, ČVRSTI I SJAJNI NOKTI U 60-SEKUNDI je moj trenutni
nadlak. Stvarno je dobar i radi sve stvari što bi trebao, ali je stvarno vodenast.




Which is more important, base or top coat? For me it's base coat. I found my perfect base coat *shouts*
EVELINE 8in1 TOTAL ACTION INTENSIVE NAIL CONDITIONER because this is my blog and
I can rave about a base coat for as long as I want. 
*U2 pops out of nowhere* 
"...but I stiiiiiiiiiill haven't found the top coat I'm looking fooooooooor..." - actual lyrics.
If you can recommend a top coat, other then Seche Vite, I'll like you even more!

Što je važnije, baza ili nadlak? Za mene je baza važnija. Našla sam moju savšenu bazu *vičem*
EVELINE 8in1 TOTAL ACTION INTENSIVE NAIL CONDITIONER zato jer je ovo moj blog i mogu
rejvat oko baznog laka koliko god želim.
*U2 iskoči od nigdje*
"....ali jooooš nisam našla nadlak kojeg tražiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim..." - stvarni prevedeni tekst.
Ako mi možete preporučiti nadlak, osim Seche Vite, sviđat ćete mi se još više!


And that's all for this topic for now. Later I'll be posting a manicure inspired by http://nailcrazy69.blogspot.com/2014/03/happy-international-womens-day.html . See ya soon! :D

I ovo je sve o ovoj temi zasad. Kasnije ću postat manikuru inspiriranu

  1. djelim tvoje oduševljenje eveline 8u 1 bazom, spasila je i moje nokte i niti me ne pada na pamet mjenjat je <3
    a od nadlaka se već dugo držim essence 'better than gel nails' koji je genijalan... iako mi se čini da se novo izdanje nešto sporije suši no staro, ali još uvijek ok... a taj od catrice mi je živi užas, em je prevodenast em mu treba 5 sati da se osuši:P

    1. 8u1 all the way! :D Baš ću probat taj better than gel nails, vidila san kod tebe u jednom post da ga spominješ i nisam ga našla u dm-a. Dobro da išta nađem jer im je štand katastrofa, uvik sve isto, i onda kad pitam di je nova kolekcija kažu tu je i pokažu 2 laka :'( Meni je očito bila uletila dobra bočica catricea, bio je dobar i ne toliko vodenast, ali evelinov 3u1 što sad imam....... voda voda.. nadam se da ce napravit neki sa boljon formulon :)
