Kryptonite flowers

 

 

The base color is the gorgeous green Picture Polish Kryptonite, and I painted a floral French tip pattern with acrylic colors and top coated with Seche Vite.

Grundfarven er den smukke grønne Picture Polish Kryptonite. Jeg malede et blomstermotiv som en fransk tip med akrylfarve, og toplakken er Seche Vite.

Marzipan flowers, or almost...

 

 

The base color is the gorgeous spring green Isadora Marzipan. I painted the leaves and flowers with acrylic craft paint, and the top coat is Seche Vite!

PS: I do know that the center of the flowers on one nail are different – it was a test ;)

Grundfarven er den smukke forårsgrønne Isadora Marzipan. Jeg malede blomster motivet med akrylfarve, og toplakken er Seche Vite!

PS: Jeg ved godt at midten af blomsterne på den ene negl er anderledes end på resten, det var en test ;)

Flowers for Twinkle - fixing a skin tone clash

 

 

The base color is Picture Polish Twinkle – I had hoped it was more lilac that this, and I don’t really feel it’s nice with my skin tone. I also was a bit disappointed that it left the gorgeous shimmer in the bottle instead of bringing it out to play on the nails. SO I used my secret weapon showed before – paint something in colors that are good with my skin tone along the cuticles and side walls. So I did, I used acrylic craft color as usual and the top coat is Seche Vite.

Grundfarven er Picture Polish Twinkle – jeg havde håbet på at den var mere syrenfarvet, og jeg er ikke helt sicker på, om jeg synes den er Ok til min hudfarve. Endelig var jeg også lidt skuffet over at den lod det smukke shimmer blive i flasken i stedet for at tage det med ud på neglene. MEN jeg brugte mit hemmelige våben og med akrylfarve malede jeg blomster tæt på huden og så så det knap så slemt ud. Toplakken er Seche Vite.

Priti Nyc swatches: Spring Gentian, Rabbit Tracks, Lilac Queen and American Beauty

 

 

Priti Nyc Spring Gentian - where have you been all my life???
In my opinion this is blue perfection - just look at that shade and those amazing flecks...
If Zoya Song gave it's flecks to Nails Inc. Baker Street - that probably would look pretty much like this...
This is two easy coats and no top coat.

 

Priti Nyc Rabbit Tracks is a blackened bottle/forest green cream with a light grey hue. This is two easy coats and no top coat. Click for larger images.

 

Lilac Queen is a burgundy purple with amazing shimmer/flecks again two easy coats and no top coat. Click for larger images.

 

Priti Nyc American Beauty is a gorgeous RED cream. The formula was a liiitle thinner that the other Priti Nyc's I have tried, but not runny. This is two coats and no top coat.

Overall thoughts: Very good quality, good dry time and easy application.
