Floral nail art on blue holo brush strokes on white

The blue holo is Chaos & Crocodiles Sleeper Cell and the white is OPI Alpine Snow. I made rather dry brush strokes with Sleeper Cell on Alpine Snow, and I painted my floral vines with acrylic craft colors. The top coated is Seche Vite. 

And my right hand makes a guest appearance - please welcome it :D

- and back to the left again ;)

I hope you liked it - I was for once overly happy with it...

Blue and white brush stroke nail art

The base color is OPI Alpine Snow and I created the blue pattern (to match a blouse of mine) with the bottle brush of Essie Midnight Cami. The top coat is Seche Vite.

I enjoyed wearing this - do you like it..?

Dry brush stroke summer clouds nail art on cat clouds

The base color is LCN Daniela Katzenberger 130 Cat Clouds, see swatches HERE. The white is created with OPI Alpine Snow using the well wiped bottle brush and I did a bit of blurring with a small nail art brush and acetone before I top coated.

Do you like my summery sky with clouds..?

Pastel brush stroke nail art

Over a coat of OPI Alpine Snow I added brush strokes of Nail Station Juicy Gossip (mint) and Coco Rico (blue), Essie Lovie Dovie (pink), Nars Sharks Left (yellow) and Illamasqua Jo’mina (lilac). With a small nail art brush dipped in acetone I blurred the edges partially for a marbled effect before it dried completely. The top coat is Seche Vite.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow nail art - Artsy Wednesday

The theme in this Artsy Wednesday is inspired by a song - and the first that came to mind was Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! - maybe because we up to mid January have had a snow-less winter...
The base color is the holographic Color Club Over The Moon, and I decided to keep the nail art fairly simple, so I did two accent nails with falling snow dotted with OPI Alpine Snow, and I also used it for the snow covered ground. The trees I painted with acrylic craft color and the top coat is Seche Vite.

Quick Valtentine's day mani

 

I wasn't going to do any Valentines Day mani (except the one I did 1 week ago in Artsy Wednesday) - but I changed my mind in the last minute, so here it is - quick and simple hearts painted with acrylic craft color over OPI Alpine Snow - top coated With Seche Vite.
Jeg ville egentlig ikke lave en Valentins dag mani, (bortset fra den jeg lavede til Artsy Wednesday for 1 uge siden), men ændrede mening i sidste øjeblik. Så en hurtig og let mani på OPI Alpine Snow, hjerter malet med akrylfarve og top lak er Seche Vite.

Earthquake - Artsy Wednesday

 

 

I had no idea what an earthquake mani is – and I’m still not sure I know, but it’s the theme of this week in Artsy Wednesday. Ah, anyways, I chose to do both seismographic readings and cracks in a green field – not very inspired, I removed it after the photographing, I didn’t like it…

The white color is OPI Alpine Snow, the green is Cult Deal With it, the rest is acrylic paint and the top coat imn Northern Lights Hologram top coat in Silver.

Christmas decorations

 

 

First I applied one coat of OPI Alpine Snow followed by a coat of China Glaze Frosty. Then I painted the spruce twigs, berries and ribbons with acrylic craft color, and top coated with Seche Vite.

Først lagde jeg et lag OPI Alpine Snow efterfulgt af et lag China Glaze Frosty, hvorefter jeg malede grankvistene, bær og bånd med akrylfarve. Top lakken er som sædvanligt Seche Vite.

Something borrowed, something blue - Artsy Wednesday

 

This weeks challenge in Artsy Wednesday is a wedding manicure, and I imagined this bride to be a white bride in a beautiful white dress. First I applied a coat of OPI Alpine Snow, and then 2 coats of China Glaze Frosty. I painted the tiny roses along the cuticle line, and the accent nail has pastel blue roses, as usual I used acrylic colors. The top coat is Seche Vite.
I'm away from my computer, so any questions or comments will be delayed :)

Denne uges udfordring i Artsy Wednesday er en manicure til bruden, og jeg forestillede mig en hvid brud i en smuk kjole. Først lagde jeg et lag OPI Alpine Snow og dernæst 2 lag China Glaze frosty. Jeg malede små bitte roser langs neglebåndslinien og på ringfingeren er roserne lyseblå (som i ”noget blåt”), jeg brugte akrylfarve. Toplakken er Seche Vite.

Hiding in Neons

 

 

In my series of “Hiding in X” it's time for the neons. Over my ridge filler base coat I painted one coat of OPI Alpine Snow. Then I created the camouflage pattern in neon colors with a dotting tool. Orange: Orly Orange Punch, pink: Barry M Neon Pink, the rest are China Glaze: I’m With the Lifeguard (green), Splish Splash (blue), Sun-Kissed (yellow) and Beach Cruise-R (purple). The top coat is Seche Vite.

I min serie af “Hiding in X” manicurer er turen kommet til neonfarverne. Over min ridgefiller grundlak lagde jeg et lag OPI Alpine Snow, og derefter malede jeg mønstre med et dotting tool og de ovenstående neonfarver. Toplakken er Seche Vite.

Nationality - Artsy Wednesday

 

 

The theme in our Artsy Wednesday is this week Independence Day – and my interpretation is my national background - I have chosen to paint flags a little twist.

I live in Denmark and am a Danish citizen – thus my index.

My parents both were from Finland – thus my middle finger.

I was born in Sweden – thus my ring finger.

My surname from birth is German and still is. My grandfather moved as a young man from Germany to Finland – so I painted the German flag on my pinkie.

Temaet i Artsy Wednesday i denne uge er Independence Day, hvilket bl.a. også kan fortolkes som nationalfølelse – og jeg har malet flag med et lille twist.

Jeg bor i Danmark og er dansk statsborger – min pegefinger.

Mine forældre kom fra Finland – min langemand.

Jeg blev født i Sverige – min ringfinger.

Mit efternavn er og har altid været tysk, idet min farfar som ung flyttede fra Tyskland til Finland – derfor har jeg det tyske flag på lillefingeren.

Used colors/brugte farver: China Glaze Hey Sailor, OPI Alpine Snow, Nails Inc. Baker Street, acrylic color.

Messy Mesmerize abstract mani

 

 

The base color is one coat of the very well pigmented, beautiful blue Essie Mesmerize, and then I chose 3 colors to sponge and dot on it: Essie Mint Candy Apple, Essie Cocktail Bling and OPI Alpine Snow. It’s totally unpredictable and not at all planned – and it was fun and bright to wear – do you like it as abstract nail art – or is it just a total mess to you – be honest??

Grundfarven er et lag af den meget velpigmenterede og smukke Essie Mezmerize, og derefter valgte jeg 3 farver som jeg duppede på: Essie Mint Candy Apple, Essie Cocktail Bling og OPI Alpine Snow. Det er helt uforudsigeligt og uplanlagt – og det var sjovt at have denne mani på med dens klare farver. Kan du li’ den som abstrakt nail art – eller synes du bare det er en gang rod – vær ærlig??

Greyscale galaxy – Artsy Wednesday

 

Dansk, se længere nede.

I have wanted to do a galaxy for a long time, but there are so many of them on various blogs, so did the world really need one more? No, I thought, but then this week’s challenge was “Greyscale”, and I immediately thought, yes, you should make a grayscale galaxy, I haven’t seen one of those around.

The base color is A-England Camelot. When dry I sponged random areas with OPI Alpine Snow, China Glaze Concrete Catwalk and Essie Cocktail Bling. The stars I dotted with Alpine snow, and finally I top coated this super easy & quick mani with Seche Vite.

Jeg har længe villet lave en galakse mani, men dem er der mange af på blogge rundt om i verden, så jeg syntes ikke der var brug for flere. Men da jeg fik titlen for denne uges udfordring ”gråtone skalaen” tænkte jeg straks, YES, jeg laver da en gråtone galakse, en sådan har jeg ikke set endnu. 

Til grundfarven brugte jeg A-England Camelot. Derefter duppede jeg med Essie Cocktail Bling, China Glaze Concrete Catwalk og OPI Alpine Snow, som jeg også prikkede stjernerne på med. Top coat er Seche Vite, og det er en super, super let og hurtig mani at lave.
