Bear Pawlish Consumed swatches

This post brings you a gorgeous glitter beauty...

Bear Pawlish Consumed is a gorgeous micro glitter bomb in holo and blue – seriously sparkly!! The base is clear, so I needed 3 coats – but that didn’t make it sparkle less :D
The next time I’ll try it over a suitable underwear. I added a coat of Seche Vite for protection, but it did not dry gritty on it’s own, so that was nice.
Removal: Definitely foil method...

You know how I feel about glitter removal - but this was worth it!!

Glittery Purple

 

 

 

A little quick mani for my glitter loving readers ;)
The base color is Barry M Retro Purple, blue in some kinds of light, deep purple in other kinds – not duochrome, but very unique and interesting.

With the bottle brush of Essence It’s purplicious (I actually have 2 completely different versions of this) I made a line down each nail. I was afraid it would be bumpy and dry slow – but it dried quickly and smooth. Then I painted flowers in a pearly white acrylic craft color – but I think it looks like silver – and top coated. The finished result was completely smooth – much to my own surprise ;)

En lille hurtig mani som burde glæde de mere glitterelskende af jer ;)
Grundfarven er Barry M Retro Purple, der er blå i nogle typer lys og mørk lilla i andre former for belysning – den er ikke duochrome, men meget interessant og unik.

Med penslen i Essence It’s purplicious (jeg har faktisk to helt forskellige versioner af den) malede jeg en stribe på hver negl. Jeg var bange for at den ville tørre langsomt of ujævnt, men den tørrede hurtigt og jævnt. Derefter malede jeg lidt blomster med en perlemorshvid akrylfarve, men jeg synes nu den ser mere sølvfarvet ud, og tilslut topcoatede jeg. Det færdige resultat var glat og behageligt at røre ved – til min egen store overraskelse ;)

Roses on indie's - Artsy Wednesday

 

 

 

Today the theme in Artsy Wednesday is Indie.

First I painted one coat of the very pigmented Pirate Polish The Buffster, and when dry I sponged the tips with Shimmer Gerry – so indie meets indie.

With acrylic draft color I painted roses, and the top coat is inm Northern Light Hologram Top Coat “Gold”.
Check out what the other girls in Artsy Wednesday did in this weeks challenge: 
Michelle - Lab Muffin,  Alanna - Pretty Purple Polish, Melanie - Nail & Polish, Jessica - Beauty Gnome,  Emily - An Accent Nail, Catrine - Unnakednails, Ameerah - Valiantly Varnished, Jean - Laquered Lunatic,

Dagens tema i Artsy Wednesday er indie lakker.

Først lagde jeget lag af den meget velpigmenterede Pirate Polish The Buffster, og da den var tør duppede jeg spidserne med Shimmer Gerry – så det er er indie-møder-indie…

Jeg malede nogle få roser med akrylfarve, og toplakken er inm Northern Light Hologram Top Coat “Gold”.

China Glaze Meteor Shower – Speciality Collection 2009, review and swatches - anmeldelse

This old swatch post from last winter is good to go while I'm blog leave LOL - please only look at the polish ;)
Meteor Shower is an absolutely gorgeous dark midnight blue jelly glitter polish with a heavy load of multicolor glitter. It is opaque in one coat, but two coats bring out an extra dimension. It dries a little bumpy, so use a good top coat to enhance the shine and depth, and to make it smoother. This is one coat with a top coat.
Meteor Shower er en fantastisk smuk, mørk midnatsblå jelly neglelak spækket med multifarvet glitter. Den dækker ved et lag, med et ekstra lag giver den endnu en dimension. Den tørrer med en lidt ujævn overflade, men hvis du bruger er godt toplak, fremmer du glittereffekten og får en glat overflade. På billederne ser du et lag med toplak.

Pink flowers on grey and glitter

 

This mani is from May 15th. The base color is Essence 04 The Dawn Is Broken from the Vampire’s coll. I sponged a “belt” over it with China Glaze Tinsel Town, and then I painted flowers in acrylic paint. Finally I top coated with Seche Vite.

Denne mani er fra 15. maj. Grundfarven er Essence 04 The Dawn Is Broken fra Vampire’s coll. Jeg duppede et bælte hen over den med China Glaze Tinsel Town, og derefter malede jeg blomster med akrylfarve. Toplakken er Seche Vite.

Quick and easy flowers on One kiwi a day

 

The base color is the gorgeous Essence One Kiwi A Day from the Fruity collection. I thought it would be a one-coater, but it needed two. The flowers I painted in 3 different acrylic colors, and dotted the center with the same colors, to tie the colors together. If I had wanted to make it less discrete, I could have given the flowers red or hot pink centers. The top coat is Seche Vite.

This mani gives me a feeling of a piece of fabric or a summer table cloth, what do you think?

Grundfarven er den smukke Essence One Kiwi A Day fra Fruity kollektionen. Jeg troede det ville være en one-coater, men den skulle have to lag. Blomsterne malede jeg i tre forskellige akrylfarver, og jeg dottede blomsternes midte med de samme farver for at binde farverne sammen. Hvis jeg havde ønsket at gøre dem mindre diskrete, kunne jeg have valgt. f.eks. en pink til midten. Læste du dette på dansk eller eng.? Toplakken er Seche vite.

Denne manicure mindede mig lidt om stof eller en sommerdug, og hvad synes du?

Playing with Stripe Rite – It’s So Easy, review - leg med Stripe Rite - anmeldelse

Click on photos to see a larger version - klik på billederne for at se en større version.

Dansk, se længere nede.

It’s So Easy® offers the basic tools necessary for nail art, most of you probably already know the Stripe Rite nail art polishes/stripers, that comes in a variety of colors. The glitters are normal polishes, but the solid and metallic colors are water based, which means that you can remove any mistake with either water or rubbing alcohol without having to start all over again.

In the following I’ll test and review the It’s So Easy Stripe Rite, Detailing Brush and Dotting Tool, a double ended tool, a angled brush in one end and a dotting tool in the other end and the rhinestones, that kindly were provided for me to test by American International Industries, thank you :)

It’s So Easy® tilbyder de grundlæggende redskaber, man har brug for til nail art, og mange af jer kender måske allerede Stripe Rite nail art lakker/striper lakker, der findes i mange forskellige farver. Glitterlakkerne er normal neglelak, men de almindelige farver inklusive de metalliske er vandbaserede, hvilket betyder at du let kan rette en fejl med vand eller propylalkohol, uden at du skal starte helt forfra med ny neglelak. Distributøren i Danmark er b4beauty.dk.

I det følgende vil jeg anmelde og teste nogle It’s So Easy Stripe Rite nail art stripers, deres Detailing Brush and Dotting Tool og rhinsten, der venligst er blevet stillet mig til rådighed af American International Industries, mange tak :)
.

These are the designs I made, first I mention the polish that is the base color and then the items used of the above mentioned.

Dette er de designs jeg kom op med, først nævner jeg navnet på lakken jeg brugte som grundfarve og siden det af det ovennævnte som jeg brugte.
#1: A-England Camelot and Stripe Rite gold + gold glitter + dotting tool

#2: China Glaze Little Drummer Boy + purple glitter + rose glitter + petite triangle rhinestone

#3: China Glaze City Siren + silver + dotting tool + tear drop rhinestone

#4: China Glaze Icicle + gold glitter + purple glitter + round rhinestone

#5: Side swipe whith China Glaze White on White + Gothic Lolita + gold + silver + black

#6: China Glaze Gaga For Green + red + yellow + silver + gold + blue + brush + dotting tool

#7: China Glaze Solar Power + red + blue + dotting tool

 

Conclusion: I already did own a black and a white Stripe Rite, and I always liked them, and I still do. The silver and gold metallics have a fantastic formula, and are SO easy to use. The blue and yellow are somewhat weak in pigmentation, but you can get around that by dabbing it on a piece of paper and mix it with the white, I didn’t because I wanted to show them as is…

The rhinestones are in pretty shapes, and the ends of the PICKerr UPerr that comes with the box create suction, when you pick up the rhinestones, that’s a really great tool. The double ended brush/dotting tool is great too, I like the angled brush. I’m however used to a finer/thinner brush, so I might end up cutting this one to make it smaller.

So all in all – thumbs up!

Konklusion: Jeg havde i forvejen en sort og en hvid Stripe Rite, og jeg har altid syntes godt om dem, og det gør jeg stadig. Sølv og guld metallic har en helt fantastisk konsistens, de er SÅ lette at bruge. Den blå og den gule er ikke specielt velpigmenteret, men du kan duppe lidt ud på et stykke papir og blande det med hvid, men jeg gjorde det ikke i dette forsøg, hvor jeg ville vise farverne som de er…

Rhistenene er i forskellige smukke faconer, og den PICKerr UPerr der medfølger skaber undertryk i de gummibelagte ender, når man trykker den mod rhinstenen, så det er et rigtigt nyttigt redskab. Pensel/dotting toolet er også dejlig, jeg kan godt li’ den vinklede pensel. Men jeg er vant til at bruge en tyndere, så derfor ender det nok med at jeg klipper den tyndere.

Men alt i alt kan jeg kun anbefale det afprøvede!

China Glaze Sour Apple – Speciality Collection 2009, swatches & review - anmeldelse

Sour Apple is a light apple green with a lot of glitter. I don’t really appreciate it on its own, I prefer to layer it – but on the photos its alone – 3 coats and no top coat. 
A cry for spring on a very dark, grey and rainy day in Denmark...

Sour Apple er lysegrøn, æblefarvet glitterlak. Jeg er ikke så vild med den uden en anden farve under, men på billederne ser du den alene, 3 lag – og ingen toplak.
Et kald på forår på en ualmindeligt grå og regnfuld dag her i Thy.

Dansk, se længere nede.
I have sooo many swatches prepared, and on this “Swatch Saturday” I’m going to sneak in 3 that are for sale, click HERE, plus one I’ll show you with unplugged nail art tomorrow.
This is 3 coats of CG In The City over a ridge filler, and no top coat, which would make it even more gorgeous. It’s a light purple jelly polish with small dusty purple glitters. It’s easy to apply and dries quickly. It’s very nice on it's own and ideal for layering, see below.
Jeg har så mange swatches liggende klar, så jeg vil i dag poste 3, jeg har til salg, klik HER, plus den farve, som jeg viser unplugged nail art på i morgen.
Her ser du 3 lag CG In The City over en ridge filler og uden top coat, som vil gøre den endnu smukkere. Det er en støvet lilla/rosa lak med små rosa glitterstyker. Den er let at påføre og tørrer hurtigt. Den er smuk i sig selv, men også god til at lægge oven på andre farver, se billedet nedenfor.

Alone on the index finger + top coat, 1 coat layered over two coats of other colors from the same collection: middle finger City Siren, ring finger Westside Warrior and pinkie Concrete Catlwalk.

Orly Goth is a black color with fine micro silver glitter. It’s pretty much opaque in one coat, but the best result is achieved with two coats. This is two coats over one coat of China Glaze Ridge Filler as base coat, and no top coat is used.
Jeg har så mange swatches liggende klar, så jeg vil i dag poste 3, jeg har til salg, klik HER, plus den farve, som jeg viser unplugged nail art på i morgen.
Orly Goth er en kulsort lak med et fint micro sølv glitter. Den dækker næsten ved et lag, men du opnår det bedste resultat ved 2 lag. På billederne ser du 2 lag over en ridge filler og uden toplak.

Love Marilyn – China Glaze Eye Candy Collection 2011-2012

As “quick posts” before the little mouse continues her story around New Years Eve, tomorrow actually, I promised to show you the 4 colors I have from China Glaze’s Eye Candy Collection: Blonde Bombshell, Lorelei’s Tiara, Marry a Millionaire and Love Marilyn.

Som “hurtige opdateringer” før den lille mus fortsætter sin historie omkring nytår, i morgen faktisk, har jeg lovet at vise de 4 farver jeg har fra China Glaze’s Eye Candy Collection: Blonde Bombshell, Lorelei’s Tiara, Marry a Millionaire og Love Marilyn.

 

 

This is 2 coats + Seche Vite. It’s very easy to work with and gives full opacity in two coats. Like Marry a Millionaire this is a VERY festive glitter polish with a very shiny red/silver glittery finish.

Dette er 2 lag + Seche Vite top coat. Den var let at arbejde med og dækker fint ved to lag. Det er ligesom Marry a Millionaire en MEGET festlig glitter med et meget skinnende rød/sølv glitterfinish.

Husk at sende en mail inden den 05. januar, hvis du vil være med i min første give-away...

This is 3 coats + Seche Vite. I do not know if this coincidence, but the first coat did not apply as well as the others in my test of 4 from this collection. On mu swatchcicle there was no problem.  I ended up doing 2 coats and Seche Vite, but was not happy with the photo’s, in real life it was quite OK. So I gave a third coat and Seche Vite again, and then it was perfect.  I really love this one, the bar glitters are terrific, and it’s a VERY sparkly light purple/silver/green, very festive.

Dette er 3 lag + Seche Vite top coat. Jeg ved ikke om det var en tilfældighed, men det første lag var ikke så let at påføre som de andre, jeg testede, fra kollektionen. Jeg lagde først to lag + Seche Vite, men jeg var ikke tilfreds med billederne, i virkeligheden var det nu OK. Men jeg lagde yderlig et lag og sluttede af med Seche Vite, og så var det perfekt. Jeg er helt vild med denne, stavglitteren er fantastisk, og den er UTROLIGT glitrende i lys lilla, sølv og grøn, den er meget festlig.
