Peek-a-boo one-stokes on jade

 

The base color is Uma Godess, a beautiful jade green with a subtle shimmer. I painted the on-stroke flowers and the large dots with acrylic craft color and top coated with Seche Vite.

Grundfarven er Uma Godess, en smuk jadegrøm med et let shimmer. Jeg malede one-stroke blomstene og prikkerne med akrylfarve, og toplakken er Seche vite.

Little Miss Bright's one-strokes

 

 

The base color is Essence 01 Little Miss Bright, from Season of Extremes coll., a warm purple with a dusty feel to it. I was surprised it was a bit sheer, 3 coats probably would have been the best, if I were to wear it without nail art. I sponged China Glaze Senorita Bonita randomly to create a bit more life before I painted the one-stroke flowers in acrylic paint. Before top coating with Seche Vite I dotted the center of the flowers plus a few dots with Gold Hologram from Art Club.

Grundfarven er Essence 01 Little Miss Bright, fra Season of Extremes kollektionen, en varm, støvet lilla. Jeg var meget overrasket over at de ikke var særligt godt dækkende, hvis jeg skulle have haft den på uden nail art, ville jeg helt klart have lagt 3 lag. Jeg duppede China Glaze Senorita Bonita på tilfældige områder for at skabe lidt mere liv, før jeg malede one-stroke blomsterne med akrylfarve. Før jeg lagde Seche Vite toplak prikkede jeg blomsternes midte plus lidt ekstra prikker med et dotting tool og Gold Hologram fra Art Club.

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?

Hooked on sweet flowers

 

 

The base color is 2 coats of China Glaze Sweet Hook, hence the silly name, and the one-stroke flowers I painted with acrylic colors, purple and white, the leaves with green, and the center is dotted with pink. Finally I top coated with Seche Vite.

Flower Solar Power - also good for Easter

 

It was a grey day in the end of February, and I felt like yellow and flowers.

The base color is China Glaze Solar Power and I used acrylic colors for the green lines, one-stroke flowers and dots. The top coat is Seche Vite.

It was a bit risky to choose white and yellow for the flowers, on a yellow base, but I wanted to see if the contrast would be OK or too low, especially after top coating, where a little “bleeding” can occur  – what do you think?

Det var en grå dag i slutningen af februar, og jeg havde lyst til blomster på gult.

Grundfarven er China Glaze Solar Power og jeg brugte acrylfarver til de grønne linier, one-stroke blomsterne og prikkerne. Toplakken er Seche Vite.

Det var en smule risikabelt at vælge hvid og gul til blomsterne på en gul grundfarve, men jeg ville se om kontrasten blev OK, eller for lille, især efter at jeg lagde toplakken, hvor en smule sammensmeltning kan forekomme – hvad synes du?

I break for pink flower manicures

 

 

The name is inspired by the base color, OPI I Brake for Manicures, see swatches & review farther below. On it I did one-stroke flowers (back in January) in acrylic colors in pink and white, purple, green leaves, and the center of each flower was dotted with China Glaze Blonde Bombshell, and finally I added Seche Vite top coat to seal in the design. One of my white acrylic colors crackle, when it dries, and I wanted that look in this mani. 
Do you brake for flower mani’s too???

Titlen er inspireret af navnet på grundfarven, OPI I Brake for Manicures, se lakken uden nail art længst nede. Jeg malede (engang i januar) one-stroke blomster på den med akrylfarve i pink, hvid, lille og jeg brugte grønt til bladene. Blomsternes midte dottede jeg med China Glaze Blonde Bombshell, og til slut lagde jeg Seche Vite toplak for at beskytte designet. En af mine hvide akrylfarver krakelerer, når den tørrer, og det var det look, jeg gik efter her.
Bremser du også for blomster manicurer :)

I Brake for Manicures is from OPI Touring America Collection 2011. I love the name and it was part reason why I bought it. But I wasn’t disappointed. It’s a cream polish in a dark eggplant color that in certain kinds of light looks almost black. It’s easy to work with, 2 coats gives full opacity and it dries quickly.

I Brake for Manicures er fra OPI Touring America Collection 2011. Jeg elsker navnet der delvist var grunden til, at jeg købte den. Men jeg blev ikke skuffet. Det er en creme lak i en mørk aubergine farve, der i visse former for belysning virker næsten sort. Den er let at påføre, 2 lag dækker fint, og den tørrer hurtigt.
