Today I’m going to show how to make mirror manicure at home. I don’t like to go to salons for nail manicure because most of them use those gel products that completely destroy your nails. Also most of time they scrub the whole nail surface, leaving them so thin and chapped. I rather do all of that at my home, knowing that my nails will stay healthy and nice looking.
Danas ću vam pokazati kako da napravite efekat ogledala na noktima kod kuće. Ja inače ne volim raditi nokte u salonima, jer svi oni koriste gel manikure koje vam apsolutno unište nokte i potrebno je dugo vremena da se nokti vrate u prvobitno stanje. Ja uvijek nokte radim kod kuće, jer znam da ih neću puno oštetiti i da će ostati zdravi i jaki.
So Essence came out with this cool concept. They have “Metal SHOCK” line, which contains nail powders in different shades and nail sealer which is something like a top coat. Let me tell you how you can do it! The shade of nail powder that I used is “Mirror, mirror on the nail”.
Essence je prvi drogerijski brend koji ima u ponudi ovaj koncept. Sve što trebate su dva proizvoda iz njihove „Metal SHOCK“ linije, puder za nokte (u boji koju želite) i prozirni lak koji je specijalno kreiran za ove pudere da ih zaštiti i da učini manikuru dugotrajnom. Nijansa praha koju sam ja koristila je “Mirror, mirror on the nail”.
First step is to apply some sort of nail polish, you can use clear nail polish or colored one. You should wait about a minute to let it dry a little bit and then add a little bit of nail powder and massage it onto nails. You don’t need to use a lot of powder, it is really little amount. You have to make sure to massage it well and cover whole nail surface. Then you simply add “Metal SHOCK” top coat, I usually use two coats. Then you have to wait for it to dry completely, it takes about 10 minutes.
Prvo trebate nanijeti neku bazu, to može biti bezbojni lak ili neki lak u boji. Potom čekate otprilike minutu da se lak malo osuši, a nakon toga stavite malo pudera i lagano ga rasporedite po čitavoj površini nokta. Lak ne smije biti potpuno suh jer se puder neće moći zalijepiti za površinu. Kada nanesete puder preko čitave površine nokta, onda jednostavno stavite bezbojni lak koji ide preko da zaštitite površinu nokta i dobijete efekat ogledala. Ja inače koristim dva sloja tog laka, da bih produžila trajanje manikure. Nakon toga sačekate nekih desetak minuta da se lak upotpunosti osuši, operete ruke i to je to.
What do you guys think about this? Is it cool? I love how Essence always brings latest trends in makeup world and keep it simple, easy and affordable. Even though I’m not a fan of crazy nail looks, I adore this mirror effect, it is so cool. That’s all for this cute little post. What do you guys think? Would you do this? Thank you for reading. Have a nice day! xx

Šta mislite o ovim proizvodima? Sviđa li vam se kako izgleda? Ja volim kako Essence donosi najnovije trendove u svoje kolekcije, pri čemu ih čini jednostavnim, lakim i što je najvažnije povoljnim! Iako ja nisam ljubitelj otkačenih manikura, ova mi je izuzetno lijepa i volim je nositi. To je sve od mene za ovaj mali post. Da li ste probali ove proizvode? Da li bi nosili ovakvu manikuru? Hvala vam na čitanju. Želim vam lijep dan! xx
This looks amazing! I really need to try that, because I love nice and shiny nails but I am too cheap to go and get them done porfessionally. So this is the perfect solution, great post!

This sounds like a great product. I love having my nails done at the salon (they’ve never ruined my nails, when I had mine off my nails were actually way stronger than before!) but they’re an expensive habit and I find it hard to get used to the length! This seems like a great alternative, how long have they lasted so far? I always find glitter polishes/metalics always last far better than regular colours! xxx

For me it was always a bad experience, when ever I had acrylics my nails after were totally destroyed. I have pretty thin nails, so I suppose I can’t really handle acrylics. They are definitely expensive, you have to do them once to twice a month and it’s definitely a huge expense. These have lasted for 10 days on me, even though I wash dishes every day and clean the house, I was pretty impressed with lasting power though. xx

This is great, the main problem I have with home chrome is that you cannot use your usual sealing top coat, and the ones some brands sell are expensive and useless.
Therefore I will definitely try this kit!!
