A giraffe of the dayŽirafa dneva

Are you wondering what the heck does this title mean? I bet you are. Well, sometimes I just don’t feel like the standard “NOTD: China Glaze – Classic Camel” types of titles. I think titles like that are boring. But I know that titles like that are reader-friendly, because they tell the reader exactly, what the article is about. I know all that and I try to title my posts with reader-friendly titles, but from time to time I like to make an exception. I hope you don’t mind. Today’s post could have had at least thousand of different titles and I tried to come up with a good one, but I just couldn’t. So, it’s “A giraffe of the day”. LOL And the post actually has something to do with a giraffe and today, so it’s kinda appropriate title. I guess. You’ll be the judge of that.

My giraffe was actually “born” as a camel … a Classic Camel by China Glaze to be precise. It’s a delicate shade from the Vintage Vixen collection. It’s a shade that a lot of people don’t like and it’s a shade that won’t look good with a lot of skin tones. I liked it since the first time I saw it, because I just like weird things and weird shades. And because my skin tone is kinda yellow, I hoped Classic Camel would look good on me. And I think it doesn’t look bad. It’s still a weird shade, but I like it. The gold shimmer makes it special for me. The shimmer looks like glass flecked micro glitter. The application was easy and in the photo below there’s only one coat of polish.

During the day my camel “magically” transformed into a giraffe. Are you curious how? Nail stamping is the answer to your question. I used the newest Essence image plate and a brown Essence – In Love nail polish for stamping.

Let me explain some more the photo above. The background is my beautiful new scarf. I love scarves and wear them all the time! The make up I’ve been wearing today is shown in the upper left corner. I’ve been wearing the combination of red or purple lipstick and nude eyeshadows lately. I don’t know what’s gotten into me and I have no idea, how long this phase is going to last, but I like the change. In the lower right you can see my helix piercing. I feel so funny showing you my ear. LOL I’ve had my ear pierced for years and I totally forgot about it, because I didn’t have anything in my ear for a couple of years now. In the past couple of weeks I’ve been remembered of my piercing by tigica and her’s little obsession with piercings. So tigica, the lower right corner photo is just for you. ;) I’ll show you my other piercings for my helix piercing in another post. ;)

That’s it. After a long time a personal post by me. Hope you liked it!

Se sprašujete, kaj za vraga ta naslov sploh pomeni? Stavim, da se. Veste, občasno mi enostavno ni do standardnih, tipa “NOTD: China Glaze – Classic Camel”, naslovov. Takšni naslovi se mi zdijo dolgočasni. Vem pa, da so takšni naslovi še najbolj prijazni do bralcev, ker povedo bistvo prispevka in bralca ne vlečejo za nos. Vse to mi je jasno, zato tudi večinoma uporabljam “dolgočasne” naslove, a od časa do časa enostavno moram narediti izjemo. Upam, da mi ne zamerite. Današnji prispevek bi lahko imel tisoče različnih naslovov in vsaj stotine bi bilo boljših od izbranega. Verjemite mi, da sem se trudila izbrati dober, zanimiv in igriv naslov, a mi žal ni uspelo. Tako je današnji naslov pač “Žirafa dneva”. LOL In veste kaj? Prispevek celo ima neko vezo z žirafo. Torej je naslov celo primeren. Morda. O tem boste kar sami presodili. ;)

Moja žirafa se je pravzaprav “rodila” kot kamela. Če sem natančna, se je vse začelo s Classic Camel znamke China Glaze. Gre za zelo delikaten odtenek iz kolekcije Vintage Vixen. Gre za odtenek, ki ga veliko ljudi ne mara, ker je tako čudaški. Veliko ljudi ga ne mara tudi zato, ker ne pristoji ravno vsakemu tenu kože. Odtenek mi je bil všeč od trenutka, ko sem ga prvič videla na swatch-ih. Rada imam čudaške reči in nenavadne odtenke. In ker moja polt vsebuje veliko rumene, sem upala, da bo odtenek na meni izgledal OK. In celo ne izgleda slabo. Še zmeraj gre za čudaški odtenek, a mi je všeč. Zlat šimer ga naredi posebnega. Pravzaprav se mi zdi, da gre za “glass flecked” šimer, kar je pa sploh velik plus pri meni. Nanos je bil enostaven. Na fotografiji spodaj je samo en nanos.

Tekom dneva se je moja kamela “transformirala” v žirafo. Vas zanima kako? Odgovor na vaše vprašanje je “nohtno štempljanje”. :) Uporabila sem najnovejšo ploščico znamke Essence in rjav lak Essence – In Love.

Naj vam še nekaj malega povem o zgornjem kolažu fotografij. Ozadje fotografije je moj najnovejši šal, v katerega sem se zaljubila na prvi pogled. Naj dodam samo še to, da obožujem rute in šale, imam jih ogromno in jih tudi nosim neprestano.
V levem zgornjem kotu je fotografija mojega današnjega MUja. Vem, da se ne vidi prav veliko, a prav veliko tudi ni bilo. Zadnje čase namreč nosim kombinacijo rdečih ali vijoličnih ustnic in “nude oči”. Nimam pojma, kaj me je pičilo in kako dolgo bo ta faza trajala, a mi je všeč. Včasih pač človek rabi spremembo, kajne?
V spodnjem desnem kotu je fotografija mojega piercinga. Prav hecno se počutim, ker vam kažem svoje uho. LOL Uho imam preluknjano že leta in leta, a sem v zadnjem času čisto pozabila na to. Zadnja leta namreč zelo redko nosim uhane in tudi helix luknja je bila prazna. K sreči se mi ni zarasla. Na helix-a me je spomnila tigica s svojo malo obsesijo s piercingi. Torej tigica, fotografija v spodnjem desnem kotu je zate. ;) Ostale svoje uhančke (ali se jim reče piercingi?) za helix pa ti pokažem v kakšnem drugem prispevku. ;)

To je to. Po dooolgem času malo bolj oseben post od mene. Upam, da vam je bil všeč!
