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 :) 

Check out what the other girls in Artsy Wednesday did in this weeks challenge: 
Michelle - Lab Muffin,  Alanna - Pretty Purple Polish, Tif - Polished Genious, Melanie - Nail & Polish, Jessica - Beauty Gnome,  Emily - An Accent Nail, Kamen - Kaka Beauty Blog, Catrine - Unnakednails, and welcome the newest member in our flock: Ameerah - Valiantly Varnished, 

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.

The Christmas Story: Berries with golden ribbons, day 5 - Jule historien: Bær med gyldne bånd, dag 5

Dansk, se længere nede

Yesterday the family went for a walk in the wood to collect branches and berries. Today mum made decorations with red berries, leaves and golden ribbons. The little mouse thought they were so pretty, and part of her wondered just HOW yummy those berries might be…?

To be continued…

I går var familien i skoven for at samle ting til juledekorationer. Og nu har mor lavet nogle fine dekorationer med røde bær, grønne blade og gyldne bånd. Den lille mus syntes de var så kønne, men en lille del af hende spekulerede på, om de røde bær mon ikke smagte helt vildt godt…?

Fortsættes…
The base color is 3 coats of China Glaze Frosty, and I dotted the red berries with China Glaze Ring In The Red. The green leaves I painted with a fine brush using China Glaze Glittering Garland. Finally I made the golden ribbons with Color Club Art Club You’re Golden nail art striper.

You can make the berries more opaque with a cream polish, but in the “real life” nail size they were very nice, red and shiny.

Grundfarven er 3 lag China Glaze Frosty, og de røde bær er dottet på med China Glaze Ring In The Red. De grønne blade er malet med China Glaze Glittering Garland. Til de gyldne bånd brugte jeg Color Club Art Club You’re Golden nail art striper. Du kan vælge at gøre de røde bær mere uigennemsigtige ved at vælge en creme lak. Men i virkelighedens neglestørrelse var resultatet skinnende, rødt og lige tilpas.

Frosty is a shimmery, frosty white, that glistens like snow in the sun. It’s incredibly beautiful. 
It’s a bit sheer, so it needs at least three coats to be opaque, but I also like it like on the photos, which is two coats over a coat of China Glaze Ridge Filler. On my ring finger I have layered it with a coat of one of my favorite glitters, it’s called Party Hearty and it’s from the same collection.

Frosty er et godt navn til denne lak, den ligner glitrende sne eller rim, samtidigt med at den er perlemors hvid, jeg er vild med den. 
Den dækker ret godt ved to lag, men hvis du vil have den til at dække 100%, skal du nok bruge 3 lag. På billederne har jeg brugt to lag, og der er ikke brugt toplak, fordi jeg ville vise den i sig selv, men en toplak vil gøre resultatet endnu smukkere. På min ringfinger har jeg toppet den med en af mine favorit glitterlakker, Party Hearty, der er fra samme kollektion.
