Christmas Day

     On the first Christmas Day I want to wish you all happy holidays, hope you all spend this day surrounded by friend or family and that you all received what you wanted. Christmas Day find me at home with my parents, spending this holiday in family.
     Yesterday evening we received carolers, they are every year lesser as number, but I enjoyed every little kids carol. After we had a family dinner and opened our presents under the three. The rest of the days also will be spending with family and relatives and I hope the snow will appear.

     In prima zi de Craciun vreau sa va urez sarbatori fericite, sper ca toti v-ati petrecut aceasta zi inconjurati de prieteni sau familie si ca ati primit tot ce v-ati dorit. Ziua de Craciun m-a gasit pe mine acasa la parintii mei, petrecand sarbatoarea in familie.
     Ieri seara am primit colindatori, care sunt mai putini in fiecare an, dar m-am bucurat de colinda fiecarui copil. Dupa am luat cina in familie si am deschis cadourile noastre de sub brad. Restul zilelelor le voi petrece cu familia sau rudele si sper ca zapada sa apara curand.
       If the last outfit for the Christmas Challenge I choose a sweater with reindeer print and red elements that screamed Christmas...today I choose and outfit that I like, but it is more cute. I really like this crochet sweater and because this days the weather was so warm, I got the chance to wear it. I think you can wear this outfit at a dinner with friend or while you are visiting your relatives. Of course you can wear it with a midi skirt, but I choose a more comfortable with the jeans.
       This time I wore a beautiful bracelet that my boyfriend bought for Christmas last year and, shame on my, never wore it, so this time I decided to always wear it when I am going out.


       Ultima tinuta, parte a colaborarii de Craciun cuprindea un pulover cu reni si elemente rosii care pur si simplu strigau Craiun...astazi am mers pe o tinuta care mie imi place, dar e mai cuminte. Imi place tare mult acest pulover crosetat si pentru ca vremea in ultimele zile a fost calda, am avut sansa sa il port. Cred ca puteti purta aceasta tinuta la o cina cu prietenii sau in timp ce va vizitati rudele. Bineinteles puteti sa purtati puloverul si cu o fusta midi, dar eu am mers pe lejer cu blugi.
      De aceasta data am purtat ca accesorii o bratara frumoasa care am primit-o de la prietenul meu de Craciun anul trecut si, spre rusinea mea, nu am purtat-o deloc, astfel ca acest an am decis sa o port la fiecare iesire.

Christmas challenge

     We had a lot of fun doing the autumn challenge, so we returned with a Christmas Challenge, just a few days before this holiday, maybe we can inspire some girls. I tried like the other time to do 3 in 1, manicure, makeup and outfit, we will see if I managed or not...

     Ne-am distrat cand am facut colaborarea de toamna, astfel ca am revenit cu o noua Colaborare de Craciun, cu doar cateva zile inainte de aceasta sarbatoare, poate va putem inspira. Am incercat ca si data trecuta sa fac 3 in 1, manichiura, machiaj si tinuta, vom vedea in continuare daca mi-a iesit...

     I say we should start with the outfit, because I really liked this combination and it screams Christmas with the reindeer print, the red skirt, well all but the snow...I had snow in a few photos before, but now it seems that autumn is back in Iasi, because it rains a lot and there is no snow...anywhere...but just imagine the pictures with some snow.
     I loved the sweater when I saw it on the website, I do not have something similar and always admired on other persons..these year I made the order early, so I could enjoy it for the holidays. It is real thick and it keeps you real worm and the print is really cute. I couldn't ask for more from this sweater.
     The hat I showed you when I ordered it, but didn't said the color...well it is bright red and I love to wear with my black coat.


     Eu zic sa incepem cu tinuta, deoarece chiar imi place combinatia si striga Craciun datorita imprimeului cu reni, fustei rosii, totul in afara de zapada...Aveam zapada in poze care le-am facut mai din timp, dar acum se pare ca toamna s-a intors in Iasi, deoarece ploua mult si nu mai vezi deloc zapada...dar va puteti imagina pozele cu zapada.
     Mi-a placut la nebunie puloverul cum l-am vazut pe site, nu aveam nimic similar si intotdeauna le admiram la alte persoane...pai anul acesta m-am mobilizat din timp si am dat comanda ca sa imi ajunga de sarbatori. Este foarte gros si tine chiar cald, iar printul este foarte dragut. Nu puteam cere mai mult de la acest pulover.
     Palaria v-am aratat-o cand am comandat-o, dar nu am zis culoarea...pai este un rosu aprins si imi place sa o port impreuna cu paltonul meu negru.

     As you can see from the photos I chosen a red lipstick and for the eyes shades of gold, brown and black for the eyeliner.

     Dupa cum puteti observa am ales un ruj rosu si pentru ochi nuante de auriu, maroo si negru pentru tus.

Dinsponibil online aici si nu uitati sa folositi FATAG10 pentru 10% reducere.
-Rimmel London Accelerator Endless
      For the manicure I went with a more delicate design, shades of white and blue...and because of that it was really hard to capture it on photos. I did half nails with blue and white snowflakes stamped on them and half only with clear base and white stamp over. On one nail I went all blue with a beautiful nail polish from flormar.
     Please excuse the color of the skin, but I modified the settings, so that the nails will be more obvious.

     Pentru manichiura am ales un model mai delicat, nuante de albastru si alb...si din acest motiv a fost greu sa le surprind in poze. Am facut jumatate de unghie cu albastru si fulgi albi stampilati si jumatate am lasat base coat si am stampilat diverse motive cu alb. Pe o unghie am mers cu totul albastru cu o oja foarte frumoasa de la flormar.
     Va rog sa scuzati culoarea pielii, dar a trebuit sa umblu la setari, astfel incat sa iasa in evidenta unghiile.

Toxic nails


     I know soon it is going to be Christmas and all of you are doing holiday inspired nails...but I wanted something different and the stamping plate from Moyou Nails arrived just in time. The package from them arrived at my door, by courier and in a short time, under two weeks.

     Stiu ca in curand este Craciunul si toata lumea face manichiuri inspirate de sarbatori...dar vroiam ceva diferit si placuta de la Moyou a venit la momentul potrivit.Pachetul de la acestia a ajuns direct la usa, prin curier intr-un timp scurt, sub doua saptamani.
     Since I started adding stamping plates to my collection and I realized that I do not have any skull pattern. It is true I will not use it often, but when I want a more dark, rock design the patterns are perfect.
     The size of the designs is perfect for large and small nails. The designs are really well done, I had no problem transferring them.

     As you can see for the manicure I used all the designs, except one that was a bit width for my nails and they look perfect.
     I also received from them a set of scraper and stamper. As I said before, I really like the plastic scrapers because they do not damage the plates and the stamper, although at first sight I didn't like it because it wasn't too squishy I think it is perfect for small designs.


      Am inceput sa adaug placi de stampilat in colectia mea si am realizat ca nu am nici una cu modele de cranii. Este adevarat ca nu o sa le folosesc des, dar cand vreau o manichiura mai rea, mai rock aceste modele sunt perfecte.
     Dimensiunea modelului este perfecta atat pentru unghii mari, cat si pentru cele mici. Modelele sunt bine imprimate, nu am avut nici o problema la transferul lor.
     Dupa cum puteti observa dupa manichiura am folosit toate modelele, exceptand una care era un pic prea lata pentru unghiile mele, si arata perfect.
     De asemenea am primit un set de stampila si razuitoare. Dupa cum am zis si inainte, imi plac razuitoarele de plastic deoarece nu strica placutele si stampila, desi la inceput nu imi placea deoarece nu era prea moale, consider acum ca este perfecta pentru modelele mici.

Christmas Nails

     In the last post I showed you pictures of a winter landscape, now it is time for a winter manicure. I received a stamping plate from KKCenterhk that has Christmas designs and I put it to the test.

     In ultimul post v-am aratat poze cu peisaj de iarna, acum este timpul pentru o manichiura de iarna. Am primit o placuta de la KKCenterhk cu motive de Craciun si imediat am pus-o la testat.

     With the stamping plate I received a set of scraper and stamp. I like that the scraper doesn't have a iron part, because they damage your stamping plates and they do not do a better job than the plastic ones. It is really good and it does it jobs. The stamper is really good, the design transfer perfectly and it is squishy. You can find the set here.
    The designs on the plates are really cute and they transfer really good, except for the writing, it was difficult for me because you need to move really fast. I used Konad Nail Polish, but you can also use regular polish to stamp.
  The stamping plate is a dupe after konad m12 and you can find it here , also remember to use the code OFataSimpla for a 10% off.
 

    Impreuna cu placuta am primit un set de stampila si razuitoare. Imi place faptul ca razuitoarea nu are parte de metal, deoarece acestea strica placutele si nu fac o treaba mai buna decat cele de plastic. Este buna si isi face treaba. Stampila este chiar buna, modelul se transfera perfect si este destul de moale. Setul il puteti gasi aici.
    Modelele de pe placuta sunt foarte dragute si se transfera bine, cu exceptia scrisului, in cazul caruia a fost mai dificil deoarece trebuie sa te misti repede. Eu am folosit oja Konad, dar merge si cu cele obisnuite.
     Placuta este copia placutei konad m12 si o puteti gasi aici, de asemenea nu uitati sa folositi codul OFataSimpla pentru o reducere de 10%.
     For a base I tried to create a jelly sandwich nail with a blue tint that I made adding a few drops of regular blue nail polish in an incolor polish. So I started with a blue base, added a layer of silver glitter, after a layer of blue tint and then another layer of glitter and so on, until I was satisfied with the result. For the stamping, I made stamping decals, as I did in my last manicure, but with small designs, not with full ones.

     Ca baza am creat o manichiura jelly sandwich cu ajutorul unei oje tint albastre creata de mine adaugand putine picaturi de oja normala intr-un lac incolor. Asa ca am inceput cu o baza albastra, am adaugat un strat de glitter, apoi un strat de tint albastru si apoi inca un strat de glitter s.a. pana cand am fost multumita de rezultat. In privinta modelelor stampilate, am facut  stamping decalrs, cum am facut la manichiura de toamna, doar ca am facut modele mici, nu care sa acopere intreaga unghie.
     Hope you like my manicure. I will try to make more Christmas Nails.

     Sper sa va placa manichiura mea. Am sa incerc sa fac mai multe modele de Craciun.

All the best,
Anca

Winter is here

     With little steps we are approaching to Christmas, I've already made the Christmas three, to enjoy the holiday as much as I can and started thinking about gifts. Although it snowed a bit in Iasi, it melted, but if you get a bit out of the city you will find the perfect winter landscape. When we wanted to relax we just went to a ride and played like kids in the snow. The view was to beautiful to not be immortalized in pictures.

     Cu pasi mici ne apropiem de Craciun, deja am facut Bradul de Craciun, ca sa ma bucur cat de mult pot de sarbatoare si am inceput sa ma gandesc la cadouri. Desi a nins putin in Iasi, s-a topit, insa daca iesiti cativa km din oras veti gasi peisajul perfect de iarna. Cand am vrut sa ne relaxam am mers la o plimbare si ne-am jucat ca niste copii in zapada. Privelistea era prea frumoasa ca sa nu o imortalizez in poze.

  With all the snow I thought of a blue outfit and blue make-up. The last time I wore turtleneck blouses was in highschool, but I saw them lately on Diana's blog and then there were sales at C&A I just bought a black one, just in case. Well today it was in handy, it was perfect to wear under the aztec print cardigan, so it wouldn't be cold. As for the accessories I went with blue green combination, with my newest blue necklace and green hat.

     Cu toata zapada m-am gandit la o tinuta si machiaj albastru. Ultima oara cand am purtat bluze pe gat eram in liceu, insa recent le-am vazut pe blogul Dianei si cand au fost reduceri la C&A am cumparat una pe negru, pentru a fi la indemana. Astazi a fost de ajutor, mergea perfect cu cardiganul print aztec astfel incat sa nu imi fie frig. In ceea ce priveste accesoriile am mers pe o combinatie albastru verde, cu noul meu colier albastru si palarie verde.

    In the end a small winter wishlist.

Autumn nails

    I admit that I didn't realized to many autumn manicures, I didn't feel so inspired. But while I was thinking about stamping and stamping decals, I choose a design that I think looked good for a stamping decals....when I thought about color, I went with an autumn approach.

   Recunosc ca nu prea am facut manichiuri tomnatice, insa nu prea m-am simtit inspirata. Dar in timp ce ma gandeam la stampilare si decal-uri stampilate, am ales un model care credeam ca o sa arate bine cu tehnica asta....si cand ma gandeam la culori, am mers pe o abordare de toamna.



    Although it looks complicated it is really ease to do. Choose your design, apply stamping nail polish, scraper and pick up the design with the stamp, then color it how you want on the stamp, apply top coat and let the design dry. After it dried just pick it up and apply on the nails. The only minus is that it takes time to dry and the stamper is occupied with the design, that is not a problem for me because I have like 5 stampers. Also it is easy to put how you like the design on your nails, today I made a full nail design, but you can use the technique for figurines, flowers, leaves and so on.

    Desi pare complicat, este destul de usor. Alegeti modelul dorit, aplicati oja pentru stampilat, inlaturati excesul, transferati imaginea pe stampila, apoi colorati modelul cum doriti pe stampila, aplicati top coat si asteptati sa se usuce. Apoi pur si simplu luati modelul si il aplicati pe unghie. Singurul minues este ca dureaza sa se usuce si stampila este ocupata cu modelul, acest lucru nu este o problema pentru mine deoarece am cam 5 stampile. De asemenea este usor sa pozitionati modelul pe unghii, astazi am facut un model pentru intreaga unghie, dar puteti folosi aceasta tehnica pentru figurine, flori, frunze s.a.
     Hope you liked my manicure and the little tutorial.

    Sper ca v-a placut manichiura mea si micul tutorial.

All the best,

In mood for pink

    Today I am in the mood for pink, a color that before recent I didn't like, but in small doses I admit it is cute. It is not even December and I dream of Christmas, of snow, carols, that I am already listening. I wish it would snow in the city and everything would be white, not moody and dirty, but clean, beautiful white...

    Astazi sunt in mod roz, o culoare care pana recent nu imi placea, insa in doze mici recunsc ca este draguta. In rest, nu este inca nici macar Decembrie si eu visez la Craciun, la zapada, colinde, care deja le ascult. Mi-as dori sa ninga in oras si totul sa fie alb, fara noroi, doar zapada, alba, curata, frumoasa....


      Today I will show you my newest jacket, that unfortunately I didn't got to wear it to much, because the cold rapidly came and this is perfect for a soft autumn/spring. It is my first sporty like jacket with the numbers, but as you can see you can wear it also in a more elegant outfit, not only sport outfits. The blouse it is really cute, although it is simple, I think it captures you due to the delicate color. I kept the outfit really simple, only added a statement necklace.

      Astazi va arat noua mea jacheta, care din pacate nu am apucat sa o port prea mult, deoarece a venit repede frigul si aceasta este mai mult pentru o toamna/primavara cu temperaturi prietenoase. Este prima mea jacheta mai sport cu acel numar, dar dupa cum vedeti o puteti purta si intr-o tinuta mai eleganta, nu numai in combinatii sport. Bluzita este tare draguta, desi este simpla, te cuceresti cu acea culoare delicata. In rest am pastrat totul simplu, am adaugat doar un colier.
