Violas animal print nail art

The base color is Rainbow Honey Viola and the green spots are made with Rainbow Honey Tayabak, see swatches of both HERE, and the rest is black acrylic craft paint. The top coat is Seche Vite.

I’ll let you be the judge and decide whether it is a leopard or a poisonous frog ;)

So, now I'm curious - it is a leopard or a poisonous frog :D

I bought both Rainbow Honey polishes from Edgy Polish!

Simple leopard print nail art

The base color is Miss Ashleigh Tickled Pink, see swatches HERE, (unfortunately Blogger makes this pink look way too hot) - and with a small brush and some black acrylic craft color, I painted a leopard-like pattern along the side of each nail – super quick. The top coat is Seche Vite

Do you like this quick and easy pattern..?

A Lizard with a Salamander belly - Artsy Wednesday/Tuesday

It’s once again Artsy Wednesday in Australia, even if it IS Tuesday in Denmark, those Aussies are so way ahead of themselves ;)
The challenge is Animal print, so since I already have done most of the traditional animal prints, some of them even in more variations, click HERE, I wanted to do something, I never did before.

When I recently got one of my lemmings, Glitter Gal Lizard Belly, it made me think of the beautiful bellies of a close relative, the salamander. Each fall/start winter they leave their water habitat to find somewhere to hibernate, and they often end in one of our doors, so I have to be careful when opening/ closing that door, and if there is a salamander I take it in my hand and carry it to a better place to hide. Their bellies are orange and more or less spotted, they are really beautiful and striking in color. Some barely have any spots, some have a lot, and some only have spots coming in from the side, so they are really quite unique :)

So the base color is Glitter Gal Lizard Belly and with my striper brush I painted the middle part of each nail orange, using acrylic color, and when dry I added a layer of Essie As Gold As It Gets over the orange for a little glam. When that was dry I added the spots of Lizard Belly with a dotting tool and, and finally I top coated.

I don’t think any other nail blogger has been crazy enough to put salamander bellies on their nails. So feel free to use it, and if you show me and link to me I would be happy :) This pattern can be done with whatever colors you like.
See the links to the other blogs below...

Så er de atter Artsy Wednesday i Australien, selv om det nu ER tirsdag i Danmark…

Da jeg allerede har lavet det meste i traditionel dyreprint, se HER, ville jeg forsøge mig med noget helt nyt.

Jeg valgte en salamander mave, der jo er orange og mere eller mindre plettet. Grundlakken er den skønne australske Glitter Gal Lizard belly, og med en striper pensel malede jeg med orange akrylfarve et midterfeldt. Da det var tørt lagde jeg et lag Essie As Gold As It Gets over det orange for at få lidt spræl. Da det var tørt brugte jeg mit dotting tool og Lizard Belly til at lave pletter, og til slut lagde jeg en toplak.

Der er vist ikke andre bloggere, der har været skør nok til at lavde salamandermave på sine negle, men hvis du kan li’ mønsteret, kan du jo kopiere det, og du kan bruge alle mulige farve kombinationer. Hvis du linker til mig, bliver jeg glad…

Check out what the other girls in Artsy Wednesday did in this weeks challenge: Michelle at Lab Muffin, Alanna at Pretty Purple Polish, Holly at Hooked, Tif at Polished Genious, Lyndsey at Nails by Ms. Lizard

Zebra, vertikal and horisontal – vandret og lodret

In this wildlife animal print theme, I'll show you: Fish, leopard, giraffe, snake with tulle, stamped snake, zebra, tiger, leopard natural, leopard holographic purple, leopard 4 stamping plates comparison, zebra 5 stamping plates comparison, Zebra - vertikal and horisontal.

I dette tema om dyreprint, vilde dyrs pels og skind, vil jeg vise: Fisk, leopard, giraf, slange med tyl, stamped/stemplet slange, zebra, tiger, leopard i naturtro farver, leopard på holografisk lilla, leopard 4 stamping/stemple plader sammenligning, zebra 5 stamping/stempel plader sammenligning, Zebra - vandret og lodret.

Findus thinks that stripes are gorgeous, horisontal or vertikal - period!! Findus synes at striber er kønne, uanset om de er vandrette eller lodrette - punktum!

Dansk, se længere nede.
The first zebra in this theme (se link above) made my nails look extra short and fat/broad (and they were a bit short too), I wanted to see if the “vertical lines in clothes makes you look thinner” rule also applies to nails. The base color is China Glaze Champagne Bubbles and I painted the stripes with acrylic paint.
On the “horizontal striped nails”, there is no top coat (I removed the stripes to do the vertical). I made them as thin as possible, and it looks better than in my initial zebra. On the vertical striped nails” I have Seche Vite Top Coat – what do you think, does the rule apply to nails as well?
Den første zebra i dette tema (se linket øverst i dette indlæg) fik mine negle til at se ekstra korte og brede/fede ud (og de var nu heller ikke så lange den dag). Så i dette forsøg vil jeg se om reglen om at ”lodrette linjer i tøj virker mere slankende ” også gælder for negle. Grundfarven er China Glaze Champagne Bubbles, og jeg malede striberne med akrylfarve.
De ”vandret stribede negle” har ikke top coat på, for jeg fjernede striberne efter fotografering, så jeg kunne male de lodrette, der til gengæld har fået top coat på. De vandrette har jeg malet meget tynde, og det ser bedre ud på mine negle. Men hvad synes du, virker de lodrette linjer slankede på negle…?

Stamped zebra - plate comparison - plade sammenligning

Dansk, se længere nede.
I have 4 different brands of stamping plates with 5 different zebra patterns, so I decided to make a comparison. Base color is China Glaze Midnight Kiss, stamping color is Konad Black.
But remember, it's easy to paint your own zebra stripes, you do not need a plate!
Pinkie plate from Essence, no number, ring finger plate from Bundle Monster BM223, middle finger plate from Konad m57 and index is plate from Red Angel RA-107, thumb is a plate from Bundle Monster BM16, and I should have used some of the plates with a bigger pattern for the thumb, as you can see is far from covers a thumb. I used Seche vite as the top coat.

Jeg har 5 forskellige zebra mønster plader fra 4 forskellige firmaer, så her har du en sammenligning. Grundfarven er China Glaze Midnight Kiss, og stamping/stempelfarven er Konad Black. Men husk, at det er let selv at lave zebra striber, du behøver ikke en plade.
Lillefinger, plade fra Essence, uden nummer, ring finger plade fra Bundle Monster BM223, langemand, plade fra Konad m57, pegefingeren, plade fra Red Angel RA-107, og tommel er en plade fra Bundle Monster BM16. Jeg skulle have brugt en af pladerne med et større mønster til tomlen, for som du kan se, kan mønsteret langt fra dække den. Som top coat har jeg brugt Seche Vite.

Stamped leopard, plate comparison - plade sammenligning

Dansk, se længere nede.
I prefer to do my own leopard pattern, but many prefer to stamp it on. So today I have 4 different brands of stamping plates with leopard pattern, for you to compare. The base color is China Glaze Midnight Kiss, and the stamping color is Konad Black. I used Seche Vite for my top coat .
Pinkie plate from Essence, no number, ringfinger plate from Bundle Monster BM221, middle finger plate from Konad m57 and index is plate from Red Angel RA-107.
Tomorrow I'll show you 5 different zebra stamps.

Jeg foretrækker at lave mit eget leopard mønster, men mange foretrækker at stampe/stemple det på. Derfor har jeg i dag lavet en sammenligning mellem 4 forskellige fabrikater af plader med leopard mønster. Grundfarven er China Glaze Midnight Kiss, og stamping/stempel farven er Konad Black. Jeg brugte Seche Vite som top coat.
Lillefinger, plade fra Essence, uden nummer, ring finger plade fra Bundle Monster BM221, langemand, plade fra Konad m57 pegefingeren, plade fra Red Angel RA-107.
I morgen viser jeg 5 forskellige "zebra plader"....

Purple, holographic leopard wildlife animal print - dyreprint

Dansk, se længere nede.
This is two coats of Color Club Wild at Heart, a gorgeous medium holographic purple. When dry I used a dotting tool to create the uneven leopard spots with Essie Lovie Dovie. Finally I used a fine brush and gold acrylic paint to outline the spots, but you can use a golden nail art color too. On top is Seche Vite top coat. Do you like my holographic, purple leopard?
PS: Sorry about the picture overload, but I cannot help myself, when I have holographic polish on my nails ;)

Dette er to lag Color Club Wild at Heart, en vidunderlig medium holografisk lilla. Da den var tør, brugte jeg et dotting tool til at lave leopardens ujævne pletter med Essie Lovie Dovie. Da de var tørre brugte jeg en lille tynd pensel og guld akrylfarve til at omkranse leopardens pletter, men du kan også bruge en guld nail art lak, eller guld neglelak og en pin pensel. Som top coat brugte jeg Seche Vite. Kan du li’ min holografiske, lilla leopard?
PS, undskyld de mange billeder, men jeg kan ikke lade være med at gå amok, når jeg får holografisk lak på neglene ;)

Leopard, natural colors, wildlife animal print - dyreprint

Dansk, se længere nede.
This is two coats of Playa Del Platinum, and as I wrote previously in the swatch description, the true color was extremely hard for me to capture on photo’s, actually I do not really feel I did. On these photos it seems to be more cold and grey, than it actually is, sorry about that.
IRL it is pretty close to the base color of the leopard, and when it was dry I used a dotting tool to create the light brown spots with H&M Nerd, and when dry, I used a fine brush and black acrylic color for the outlining of the spots. I added Seche Vite Top coat.
Finally before removing it, I mattified it with Essie matte About you - which version do you like the best?
Dette er to lag Playa Del Platinum, og som jeg skrev tidligere i swatch beskrivelsen, havde jeg besvær med at fange den rigtige farve på foto, og føler ikke helt, jeg gjorde det heller. På disse billeder virker den mere kold og grå, end den er i virkeligheden, jeg beklager.
I virkeligheden er den faktisk meget tæt på leopardens grundfarve, og da lakken var tør brugte jeg et dotting tool til at lave pletterne med H&M Nerd. Da pletterne var tørre brugte jeg en fin pensel og sort akrylfarve til at kante pletterne med. Jeg brugte Seche Vite som top coat.
Inden jeg fjernede designet igen, prøvede jeg hvordan det ville se ud med mat toplak, Essie matte About you. Hvilken version synes du bedst om?

Tiger - wildlife animal print - dyreprint

Dansk, se længere nede.
This is my second tiger, and I decided to use the exact same colors as I did the first time. Oh boy I was so proud of my first tiger, it took me a looong time, but today I can see it has flaws. But when it comes right down to it, our results doesn’t have to be perfect. Jump right in and have fun while you do it, and practice is a great thing! Over my base coat I added two coats of China Glaze White on White. Then I painted a little more than the lower half with China Glaze Papaya Punch, and when a little dry, I sponged the area between those two colors with more Papaya Punch, creating an uneven topline. When dry I painted the stripes with black acrylic color, and when dry, I added Seche Vite Top coat. If you need inspiration, do a Google search for tiger.
Before removing it, I tried Essie matte about you to mattify it – but I definitely do not like the matte version, how about you…?
Dette er min anden tiger, og jeg besluttede at bruge de samme farver som i første forsøg. Jeg var så stolt over min første tiger, der tog mig laaang tid atlave, men i dag kan jeg jo godt se dens fejl og mangler. Men når alt kommer til alt BEHØVER vores resultater ikke være perfekte, det gælder jo først og fremmest om at kaste sig ud i det og have det sjovt, mens du træner!
Jeg lagde over min base coat 2 lag China Glaze White on White. Derefter malede jeg lidt mere end den nederste halvdel af neglene med China Glaze Papaya Punch. Da det orange var lidt tørt brugte jeg et lille stykke makeup svamp til at duppe området mellem det orange og hvide med mere Papaya Punch, så den øverste linje blev lidt ujævn. Da det var tørt malede jeg striberne med sort acrylfarve, og da de var tørre lagde jeg Seche Vite top coat. Hvis du mangler inspiration, så lav en Google søgning på tiger.
Før jeg fjernede tigeren ville jeg se den mat, så jeg lagde et lag Essie matte about you. Jeg kan helt klart ikke li’ den matte version, men hvad med dig…?

Zebra - wildlife animal print - dyreprint

Dansk, se længere nede.

You can make a zebra with thicker or thinner, many or fewer lines, and you can of course use any colors you like. Google provides a lot of photos, if you want photos for zebra inspiration. Finally you can use one of the many stamping plates with a zebra pattern, but it’s very easy to do yourself…

This was my 2 first zebra attempts. Over my base coat I added two coats of China Glaze White on White and let it dry in both attempts.
Zebra 1 with the thickest stripes: I used a 2-way nail art pen to draw the zebra stripes, and was a bit too quick and didn’t wait until they were completely dry before I added my Seche Vite top coat, as you can see there is a light smudging.

Du kan male tykkere eller tyndere og færre eller flere striber, når du maler zebra mønster på dine negle. Du kan naturligvis også anvende den farvekombination, du bedst kan li’. Endelig kan du også stampe/stemple dem på ved at bruge en af de utallige zebra mønster plader, der findes. Men de er meget lette selv at male…
Dette var mine to første zebra forsøg. Jeg lagde to lag China Glaze White on White over min base coat og led det tørre helt.
Zebra 1 med de tykkeste striber: Jeg bruge en tovejs nail art pen til at tegne striberne med, og jeg var lidt for hurtig til at lægge top coaten. Som du kan se var striberne ikke helt tørre, og det bevirkede at der blev en let udtværing af mønsteret.

Zebra 2 with thinner and fewer lines: I the initial steps as above, and then I used a fine brush and acrylic color for the stripes, and I sealed it with Seche Vite.
Zebra 2 med tyndere og færre linier: Jeg fulgte de samme indledende trin og brugte en fin pensel og acrylfarve til striberne. Jeg brugte Seche Vite som Top Coat.

Finally I put Essie Matte About You (matte top coat) on both mani's, and I think, I like the matte zebra better - which zebra do you like the best?
Jeg at lagde Essie Matte About You (mat top coat) på begge zebraer, og jeg tror, at jeg foretrækker den ”matte zebra” – hvilken kan du bedst li’?

Stamped snake - stemplet slange wildlife/vilde dyr animal print

Dansk, se længere nede.
Over yesterday’s tulle snake I decided to use Konad’s black stamping color and Bundle Monster stamping plate # BM-215, that has a snake pattern. I had Seche Vite top coat on, but stamping went well anyhow, it's just me who has to learn :)

The next day I removed it all and used 2 coats of China Glaze Lighthouse over my base coat as the base color, and stamped the same pattern again. It was one of my first attempts stamping, so I pressed too hard on my right hand, so the left actually was the best, even if not great. On top is Seche Vite.

Jeg besluttede at stemple/stampe et slangemønster på gårsdagens tyl slange med Konads sorte stamping farve og Monster stamping plate # BM-215, som har dette slangemønster. jeg havde fra i går Seche Vite på, men det gik fint at stampe over det, selvom jeg fortsat ikke er god til at stampe.

Den næste dag fjernede jeg det hele og lagde over min base coat to lag China Glaze Lighthouse, og stampede samme mønster igen. Jeg trykkede for hårdt, så venstre hånd blev faktisk bedst, selvom det ikke er et super resultat. jeg lagde Seche Vite som top coat.
