Flowers on star dust and candy

Super silly name – and not very pretty work either, actually I didn’t like it. I was super busy in the days after, so I did kind of get used to it LOL

The base color is the lovely Gina Trico Candy Mint, and I added a coat of Misslyn Star Dust (very visible in person) before I painted the flowers with acrylic craft color and top coated with Seche Vite.

I was by the way very pleasantly surprised by the quality of Gina tricot, it didn’t chip at all, and I’ll soon show you my 3 Gina Trico polishes as swatches…

Sikke et fjollet navn – og nail arten er heller ikke pæn, jeg kunne faktisk slet ikke li den. Men jeg havde travlt i dagene efter, så jeg gik med den i nogle dage, og vænnede mig da lidt til den ;)

Grundfarven er Gina Trico Candy Mint, og jeg lagde et lag Misslyn Star Dust (meget synlig i virkeligheden) over den før jeg malede blomsterne med akrylfarve og toplakken er Seche Vite.

Jeg var for resten super overrasket over kvaliteten af Gina Tricot – den holder fantastisk godt på mig, og jeg har snart swatches atf mine 3 Gina Tricot lakker…

Vintage random roses - Artsy Wednesday

 

 

The theme this Artsy Wednesday is “vintage” – and that made me think of roses…
The base color is the pale pastel yellow Manhattan 001 from the Pastel Pretties coll. 2013. I added Misslyn 753 star dust top coat to the areas I later painted my leaves on roses on – as usual with acrylic craft colors, and the top coat is Seche Vite.

Check out the other girls Artsy Wednesday mani's:

Temaet denne Artsy Wednesday er ”vintage” – og det fik mig til at tænke på roser…

Grundfarven er Manhattan 001 fra Pastel Pretties coll. 2013. Jeg brugte Misslyn 753 star dust top coat på de dele af neglene, hvorpå jeg senere malede bladene og roserne, og toplakken er som sædvanligt Seche Vite.

My German haul - and a hint for the soon ending Guessing giveaway....
