LIQUID vs GEL EYELINER: part 2 - GEL EYELINER*



There is always a battle between gel and liquid eyeliners. I personally use both it depends on my look. A lot of you asked me which I recommend? But I would have to say it matters what you are looking for. Do you want easy, no mess application, or maybe bold, matte finish cat eye look?
For easier understanding and choosing what you want to try and use for your makeup routine I will get a little more in detail down below. I will also show you the process of application, so you will exactly see what you can expect. 



Že od nekdaj obstaja bitka med tekočim črtalom za oči in tistim v gelu. Sama uporabljam oba, odvisno je le od tega kakšen look hočem doseči. Veliko punc me je vprašalo katerega priporočam, oziroma katerega naj uporabljajo? Vendar moram reči da je vse odvisno od tega kaj želite doseči. Ali želite enostavno aplikacijo ali mogoče malo bolj poudarjeno linijo cat eye?
Za lažje razumevanje in pa enostavnejšo izbiro med sledečima oblikama črtal za oči, vam bom podrobneje predstavila oba. Kasneje vam pokažem tudi potek aplikacije obeh črtal, da si boste vse skupaj tudi lažje predstavljale. 


GEL EYELINER

Usually it comes in a little glass or plastic jar with plastic top. Not so common that they also come with brush. But even if they do, it is not so great. So you probably need a gel eyeliner brush. Consider this when buying a gel eyeliner. The application of this eyeliner is messier than the liquid one. Also you have to be very precise so you don't mess up. You can easily make the line thicker then you prefer, because the product is much thicker, so you have to be very careful. The finish of gel eyeliner is very black, bold, matte finish. It looks gorgeous and I prefer to wear it, just because it looks more natural.


Večinoma je pakiran v steklenem lončku s črnim plastičnim pokrovčkom. Ponavadi embalaži ni priložen čopič za nanos produkta, kar ni ravno najboljša novica. Zato potrebujete pri uporabi črtala v gelu kupiti tudi čopič, ne pozabite. Aplikacija črtala je malo težja kot tekočega in verjetno tudi bolj umazana. Pri samem nanosu morate biti pazljive, da črte ne naredite preveč debele, saj se to kaj hitro lahko zgodi. Končni izgled črtala za oči v gelu je zelo temen, črn in mat finiš, kar je meni osebno veliko bolj všeč, saj uzgleda res kar se da naravno.


Also I have very special announcment for all of my readers and followers. You all have 10% off purchase with the code NIKAH10 in BORN PRETTY online store.

LIQUID vs GEL EYELINER: part 1 - LIQUID EYELINER*

Za lažje razumevanje in pa enostavnejšo izbiro med sledečima oblikama črtal za oči, vam bom podrobneje predstavila oba (danes tekočega). Kasneje vam pokažem tudi potek aplikacije obeh črtal, da si boste vse skupaj tudi lažje predstavljale. 



LIQUID EYELINER

It is available in a "pen" form. It can have different tips, the form for application. It can be long bristles, or very hard foam kind of a tip. I have to say that I prefer the second one, because you have a lot more control. Like I said before - longer the handle, more precise you can be. So if you have very short liquid liner top (like essence liners have), it will be harder to have a control of a perfect line. If you just started to do makeup, or you are new in the eyeliner world, I suggest to try first with liquid liners. They are much easier to start with and it also gives you time to correct the line, which you don't have with the gel form. 

Navadno je pakiran v embalaži v obliki svinčnika, bodisi je ta majhen ali pa večji. Razlikujejo se le po konici, s katero nanašamo produkt. Najprej imamo tiste ki imajo zelo tanek in dolg čopič, nato pa še tiste, ki imajo konico oblikovano v špičasto peno, ki je malo trša na otip. Svetovala bi vam da pri sledečih črtalih upoštevate da je bolje imeti daljši ročaj na pokrovčku, saj imate tako večji nadzor nad linijo, in ste posledično tudi bolj natančne. Na žalost večina essence eyelinerjev tega preprosto nima. Če ste nove v svetu ličil, in se s črtali za oči šele spoznavate, bi vam svetovala da mogoče najprej poskusite s tekočo obliko, saj boste z njim ustvarile veliko bolj natančno in precizno linijo.

NOTD - ALMOND SHAPE UV GEL

Hello my loves. Today I am going to show you my nails. They are made with uv gel and cured under the uv light. I did them by myself a few days ago with everything purchuesed in the drugstore. The coulour is plane - light pink, no special design. The main thing for me right now is to test them, see how long they are going to last me, compare the prices with the salon... They were a lot easier to do then I expected. Really super easy. I decided to go a bit different here, so I filed them into the almond shape. I went out of my comfort zone, because usually I wear them square. So anyway, if you are interested how to achieve professional uv gel nails at home, let me know in the comments, and after I test them I will do a step by step tutorial. 

Which nail shape do you prefer?

Have an awesome Sunday and I love you

DIY GEL MANICURE



Hello everyone. In todays post I will show you how you can do gel nails at home. It is super easy and pretty cheap. So everything you need I bought in my local drugstore Dm for 50 €. In this Kit you will find everything you need to give yourself a gel manicure except the colour shade, which you choose separately. The kit is called Depend GelLack, Ready to go! You can do this on your toenails too, since the results will last longer than on your hands. 

Use cleanser with cotton wool ball to clean your nails. Allow the nails to dry completely for about 30 seconds. Do not touch the nail surface after it has been cleaned.

Apply a thin layer of base polish. Harden for 30 seconds under the LED lamp.

 Apply a thin coat of gel polish- coloured one. Harden for 30 seconds under the LED lamp.

Apply another thin layer of gel polish and harden for 30 seconds under the LED lamp.

Apply a thin layer of top polish and harden again under the LED lamp for 30 seconds.
  
Now the nail surface will be sligtly sticky. Apply the cleanser on a cotton wool ball and cleanse the top finish and bring out the gourgeous sheen of the gel polish.

  You have now hard-wearing, high-gloss, polish that will last about three weeks.

Do you want me to show the Kit in details? All the products, the lamp, polishes??

Thank you so much for reading

Best of Essence

Essence is a German brand of make-up and other beauty products. It is super cheap, so it is amazing for teens, if you want to expand your make-up collection, or if you are just looking great make-up on a budget. 

iluminating make-up base; for a natural glowing, radiant complexion, moisturizes the skin, conceals small imperfections. It also makes foundation application easier and extends its wear.
This make-up base really does what it claims. I was more then satisfied with the coverage that it gives you. And when you put foundation over it, it gives you perfect glow. Mine is peachy, pink colour and it suits dark skin tones perfectly.
forget it! 3 in 1 concealer; this is probably the best products from essence. You get pink, beige and green colours for covering up imperfections on your face. The consistancy is so creamy and it glides on your face like butter. Love the pink and the beige one, as you can see I'm not a big fan of a green one.
silky touch blush in babydoll; pretty pink blush for fresh looking skin, Perfect for Valentine's day look! It lasts all day and it is pretty pigmented.
lash&brow gel mascara; clear mascara which I use for my eyebrows. I wrote a post on this-wasn't really happy with it, but now I fall in love!! Great product and it holds my eyebrows all day long.
gel eyeliner in Midnight in Paris; high precision eyeliner, waterproof. It is creamy, ultra black, matt gel eyeliner and it does not smudge. I use it every day and I am very happy with it- classiy black! Plus the paskaging looks more expensive then it is. It comes in glass.
stay all day long lasting eyeshadow in coppy right and steel the show; cream eyeshadows with great pigmentation. Does not crease. You get a ton of product becaus little goes a long way and you will have it for a long time.
metallic effect eyeshadow in party all night. Great eyeshadow which is super soft. The colour speaks for itself. BEAUTIFUL!
glam liner, liquid eyeliner in rising star; most amazing brush- really thin and precise! I use it under my waterline. Great for holiday makeup.
metallic eye pencil in lilectric; super pigmented and amazig colour effect. Use it under my water line for a pop of colour. Really compliments dark, brown eyes.
sun club, 100% splash-proof eye pencil in ultra black; pigmented black eyeliner, which is not waterproof, but it stays all day on my eyes. It contains slight shimmers and does not work on waterline. But under your waterline it is super pretty and it really is longlasting.
blush brush; I put a post about this brush already and I love it. Soft, soft, soft..hot pink- great combination.
gel eyeliner brush; Find this brush is too thick for eyeliner, but is amzing for putting on eyeshadows and smudging my pencil eyeliner.
Swatches from left: makeup base, blush, gel eyeliner, metallic eyeshadow, liguid eyeliner-silver, metallic eye pencil, black eye pencil, cream eyeshadows in coppy right and steel the show

What is your favourite beauty product from essence?

Plus White 5 minute SPEED WHITENING Gel REVIEW



One step bleaching power fast&easy, 85 g
Few months ago I ordered online a set of the plus white bleach gel. It came with the gel, pre whitening rinse and mouth tray.

Directions tell you to rinse your mouth with whitening mouth wash and then  put gel all over your teeth. After that you insert tray in your mouth. You should leave it in for 5 minutes; for really stained teeth 15-20 minutes. Rinse it with cool water and you have WHITE TEETH!!

This product made my teeth whiter, but not super white. I should use it more, twice a day, my fault. Otherwise I recomended to use this whitening gel, because it is so simple and it really works. Plus you recieve the tray. I'm going to whiten my teeth right now;)


Do you like this teeth whitener?
