Inspired by a pattern - Artsy Wednesday

 

This week’s challenge in Artsy Wednesday is inspired by a pattern, and I thought of my gorgeous glass platter. The base color is Barry M copper, as I felt that it was very close to parts of the pattern. The blue and red pattern (acrylic colors) is however very far from the original, and well, the pattern is a bit sloppy and  could have been much better painted – but I had no time to redo it, so here it is :)

Check out what the other girls in Artsy Wednesday did in this weeks challenge: 
Michelle - Lab Muffin,  Alanna - Pretty Purple Polish, Tif - Polished Genious, Lyndsey - Nails by Ms. Lizard, Melanie - Nail & Polish, Jessica - Beauty Gnome,  Emily - An Accent Nail, Kamen - Kaka Beauty Blog, Catrine - Unnakednails, 

Denne uges udfordring i Artsy Wednesday er inspireret af et mønster, og jeg kom til at tænke på mit store smukke glasfad.

Grundfarven er Barry M Copper, da jeg syntes den lå meget tæt på dele af fadets mønster. Til gengæld ligger de røde og blå farver (akrylfarver) langt fra originalen, og ja, mønsteret er lidt sjusket og kunne have været meget bedre malet – men jeg havde ikke tid til at lave det om, så her er det alligevel :)

Cross Blue Iron Eyes + China Glaze Cross Iron swatches & review - anmeldelse

 

Just a quick, easy and simple mani, mostly to show this gorgeous color...
And yeah, I know, a goofy mix of the two polish names used… Both are China Glaze, and the base color is Cross Iron, see swatches below, and the blue dots are made with a dotting tool and Eyes Like Sapphires. Remember that you can use any color combination YOU like the best...

Lige en hurtig og let lille manicure, mest for at vise denne lækre farve...
Og ja, jeg ved godt det er et skørt navn, men jeg mixede navnene på de to lakker, jeg brugte... Der begge fra China glaze, bundfarven er 2 lag Cross Iron, se den uden prikke længere nede, og prikkerne er lavet med Eyes Like Sapphires. Husk at du kan bruge de farver DU har lyst til...

 

China Glaze Cross Iron is from the Ski Collection 2007. It’s a beautiful, orange/rusty/copper metallic/foil, that makes me happy just by looking at it. This is 2 coats over a ridge filler, but no top coat. It’s a very little bit prone to brush strokes, not really worth mentioning. It’s very well pigmented, and dries quickly with a shiny finish.

China Glaze Cross Iron er fra Ski Collection 2007. Det er en smuk rusten/orange/kobber metallic/foil, som jeg bliver glad af at se på. Du ser den her med 2 lag uden toplak. Den har en lille tendens til penselmærker, men det er ikke værd at snakke om. Den er velpigmenteret, tørrer hurtigt og har en skinnende finish.

Essie Shine of the Times luxeffects, swatches & review - anmeldelse

Shine of the Times is a gorgeous flakie polish in a clear base – very similar to Nubar 2010, see it HERE. It’s easy to apply and dries quickly – and deserves a top coat.

Here I applied 1 coat over 2 coats of the black Essie Licorice, but I did not add a top coat.

I used this combination for my Hearts on fire Valentines manicure, see it HERE later today.

Shine of the Times er en vidunderlig flakie lak i en klar base – meget lig Nubar 2010, se den HER. Den er let at påføre, tørrer hurtigt, og den fortjener en top coat, der vil fremhæve den endnu mere.

Her kan du se den i 1 lag over 2 lag den sorte Essie Licorice, men uden top coat.

Jeg brugte denne kombination til min ”Hears on fire – hjerter i brand” Valentins nail art, som du kan se HER senere i dag.
