Bleached neons & neon studs

Dlho, predlho som pátrala, kde by som si mohla kúpiť nejaký Bleached neon od Maybelline.
Tieto vyblednuté neónky boli hitom minulého roka, no mne sa ich vtedy nepodarilo nikde zohnať. Dokonca ani keď som bola v septembri v Prahe. Nikde nič. Až potom som ich objavila v internetovej parumérii El Nino, kde majú kadejaké vychytávky za super cenu. A medzi nimi aj Bleached Neons. Najviac sa mi aj tak vždy páčila 242ka, v zahraničí známa aj ako Coral Heat.

I was searching where to get Bleached Neons for very, very long time. These pale neons were really popular last year and I wasn't able to get them anywhere. Even in Prague my mission to buy at least one was unsuccessful. Nothing. And then I found them in one online perfumery here in Slovakia. They have so many great things there with amazing price. I always loved the Coral Heat the most.



Čítala som na ne chvály ale aj negatívne názory. Najmä, čo sa konzistencie a aplikácie týka. Niektorým blogerkám šlo lakovanie ako po masle, niektoré písali, že zle kryjú. Ja som so svojou bledulkou bola spokojná a podarilo sa mi ju v pohode nalakovať v dvoch vrstvách.

I read many contradictory opinions on these polishes. Mainly when it comes to consistency and application. Some bloggers said that it was easy others wrote about bad opacity. I was really happy with mine and for me application was fine with nice coverage in two coats.



Rozhodla som sa ju skombinovať s podobne vyblednutými neónovými plieškami, ktoré som si nedávno objednala z Born Pretty Store. Prišli mi zmiešané v jednom malom tégliku, tak som sa zahrala na Popolušku (bez holubov) a vytriedila som ich. Moje snaženie som zakončila ich porozdelovaním do kolieska na nail artové vecičky. To som asi robiť nemala, lebo dobre "netesní" a jednotlivé farby sa mi pomaly ale isto miešajú...

V zmesi plieškov nájdete rôznofarebné kolieska, štvorčeky a slzičky. Zo každého po štyri farby. Všetky sú veľké cca 2mm, slzičky majú 2mm na šírku. Sú teda dosť malé a nebudete sa nimi všade zachytávať.

Pliešky som poukladala, ako mi prišlo na rozum. Štvorčeky diagonálne s kolieskami na striedačku, či kolieska so slzičkami dookola nechtu... Výsledok je podľa mna milý a dievčenský, ako stvorený na jar :)

I decided to pair it with similar bleached neon studs that I ordered from Born Pretty Store lately. They came to me mixed in one little plastic pot. So I turned into a Cinderella and sorted them out into nail art wheel. Then I realized that it doesn't fit tightly and some colors are already mixed again...

In this mix of studs you can find circles, squares and almond-shaped ones. Each shape in four different colors. All of them are approx. 2mm large, almond ones are 2mm wide. They are small enough so you won't snag into things.

I placed studs without much thinking. I alternated squares diagonally with circles or I rimmed one nail with almonds and circles... The result is I think very cute and girly, very appropriate for spring :)



Podľahli ste aj vy minulý rok neónkam od Maybelline? Ktorý odtieň, či odtiene vlastníte? Tiež ma zaujímajú vaše skúsenosti s ich lakovaním ;)

Did you buy Bleached Neons by Maybelline already? Which shade or shades you own? And I want to know what you think about the application ;)
