Sandwich flowers – was: White/blue one-strokes with golden outlining

 

 

The base color is Essie Smooth Sailing, and the one-strokes I painted with acrylic colors. But right before I top coated with Seche Vite, I got the crazy idea to layer the flowers with China Glaze Luxe & Lush, making them a kind of “sandwich-flowers”. What do you think?

Grundfarven er Essie Smooth Sailing, og one-stroke blomsterne malede jeg med akrylfarve. Men lige inden jeg ville lægge min toplak, Seche Vite, fik jeg den skøre ide først at lægge China Glaze Luxe & Lush OVER blomsterne, så det blev en slags sandwich effekt. Hvad synes du om det?

Silly Saturday flowers from the waste bin

 

The base color is China Glaze Stone Cold. It dries with matte finish, but I added a coat of China Glaze Luxe and Lush and when dry I painted pink flowers with acrylic paint, and then I top coated with Seche Vite.

I wasn’t happy about this design, the petals should all have been either long or short. But the flowers did make me giggle, I suppose that's because of my dirty mind LOL

Grundfarven er China Glaze Stone Cold, der tørrer med en mat finish, men jeg lagde et lag China Glaze Luxe and Lush over den, og derefter malede jeg de lyserøde blomster med akrylfarve. Til sidst topcoatede jeg med Seche Vite.

Jeg var utilfreds med blomsterne, kronbladene skulle have været lige lange - korte eller lange. Designet fik mig dog til at fnise, men det har nok noget med min beskidte tankegang at gøre ;)
