The flowers on Notting Hill

 

The base color is the gorgeous, gorgeous yellow Nails Inc. Notting Hill Carnival, and it calls for purple/pink flowers. As usual I painted the flowers with acrylic colors and top coated with Seche Vite.
Stay tuned for my  giveaway tomorrow, Internationally open for my GFC readersfollowers...

Grundfarven er den smukke, smukke pastel gule Nails Inc. Notting Hill Carnival, og den bad om lilla/lyserøde blomster malet i akrylfarve, og toplakken er Seche Vite.
I morgen starter min giveaway, der er åben for alle der er læsere/følger mig via GFC (Google Friend Connect).

Sun kissed nails

The base color is the gorgeous China Glaze Sun-Kissed from the Summer Neons coll. 2012. I didn’t have the heart to cover it with too much – so simple dots and a tiny flower…

Grundfarven er den flotte China Glaze Sun-Kissed fra Summer Neons koll. 2012. Jeg kunne ikke nænne at putte for meget nail art på – så det endte med lidt prikker og en lille blomst…

Hits Dionisio trick question answer + nail art

The right answer to the trick question is: the index and ring finger that is 2 coats of Hits Dionisio!

Det rigtige svar på trick spørgsmålet er: Pegefinger og ringfinger er 2 lag Hits Dionisio!

Hits Dionisio

The other fingers are 3 coats of Sinful Fiji, and on the middle and pinkie I top coated with Piper Polish Spectra Flair Top Coat and the thumb with Bit’s Hocus Pocus.

I like toppers that give a holographic effect if I am in the sun or in artificial light in the evening. But in normal light conditions, they dull the polish below them, and make the surface more or less grey, see below. So I still want the real thing, a polish “born” as a holo – but maybe I’ll try to franken the Hocus Pocus with another polish.

Have you bought or even made your own holo top coat – and how do you like it…?

De andre tre fingre er 3 lag Sinful Fiji, langemand og lillefinger er top coated med Piper Polish Spectra Flair Top Coat og tommelen med Bit’s Hocus Pocus.

Jeg kan godt li’ toplakker, der giver holografisk effect, hvis jeg opholder mig i solen eller i kunstigt lys om aftenen. Men i mere normalt lyst nedtoner de lakken og gør den mere eller mindre grå, se nedenstående. Så jeg vil stadig have den ægte vare, en holografiske lak, der er født sådan – men måske vil jeg prøve at franken Hocus Pocus med en eller anden lak.

Har du købt eller selv lavet holografiske toplakker – og hvis ja, hvad synes du så om dem..?

semi shade - halvskygge

Indoor day light - indendørs dagslys

Below you see my first shot for the Hits Dionisio trick question, but it was too obvious. All nails has one coat of Finger Paints Beach Bound, my index and ring finger one coat of Hits Dionisio, my thumb and pinkie one coat of Piper Polish Spectra Flair Top Coat, and on the middle one coat of Girly Bit’s Hocus Pocus. All though I love holo’s I still feel naked without nail art, so I just doodled some random patterns and top coated, see farther below.

Nedenstående ser du mit første forsøg til trickspørgsmålet, men det var for let at gennemskue. Alle negle fik et lag Finger Paints Beach Bound, tommel og lillefinger et lag Piper Polish Spectra Flair Top Coat, og langemand et lag Girly Bit’s Hocus Pocus.Selvom jeg elsker holografiske lakker, synes jeg nu bedst om mine negle med nail art på, så jeg lavede lidt krusseduller, som du kan se længere nede.

In shade especially Hocus Pocus (middle finger) dulls the polish below, even if applied very thin.

China Glaze Ahoy! is from the Anchors Away coll. 2011. It's a juicy berry red with with a heavy and gorgeous load of shimmer - it reminds me of sherbet. This is 2 coats, no top coat. Application is easy and it dries quickly.

Inspired by music, fail - Artsy Wednesday

 

 

I failed miserably in this week’s Artsy Wednesday challenge: Inspired by music. I am inspired by music – but not to do nail art, so this half-hearted mess is all what I came up with. The idea is actually quite OK, but the performance is terrible – and no time to redo – so here it is, notes on China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, that looks like Mickey Mouse shoes, pipes etc.…
Check out what the other girls in Artsy Wednesday did in this weeks challenge: 
Michelle - Lab Muffin,  Alanna - Pretty Purple Polish, (not this week: Holly - Hooked), Tif - Polished Genious, Lyndsey - Nails by Ms. Lizard, Catrine - Unnakednails, (not this week: Melanie - Nail & Polish), Jessica - Beauty Gnome, Kamen - Kaka Beauty Blog
 

Jeg dumper med glans i denne uges udfordring i denne uges Artsy Wednesday udfordring: Inspireret af musik. Musik inspirerer mig til meget, men ikke til nail art, så derfor er mit bud dette halvhjertede resultat. Ideen er faktisk sjov nok, men udførelsen er forfærdelig, og der er ikke tid til at gøre det om, så her er har du noder på China Glaze re-fresh Mint, de ligner Mickey Mouse sko, piber og andet…

Nfu OH 51 & 60, swatches & review - anmeldelse

 

Flash/blitz

Nfu OH 51 is a purple jelly based polish with flakies that change between purple, reddish purple and gold. It applies thick, but easily, and dry time is not very quick. This is 2 coats and no top coat. It works great as an effect over another polish.

Nfu OH 51 er en lilla jelly lak med flakies, der skifter mellem lilla, rødlilla og guld. Den er ret tyk i konsistensen, men let at lægge, og tørretiden er ikke hurtig. Du ser her 2 lag uden en toplak. Den er også god at bruge over en anden farve.

 

 

Nfu OH 60 is a black jelly based flakie polish with flakies that change between green, golden and copper. It applies thick, but easily, and dry time is not very quick. This is 2 coats and no top coat. It works great as an effect over another polish.

Nfu OH 60 er en sort jelly lak med flakies der skifter mellem grøn, guld og kobber. Den er ret tyk i konsistensen, men let at lægge, og tørretiden er ikke hurtig. Du ser her 2 lag uden en toplak. Den er også god at bruge over en anden farve.

Flowers for The Buffster

The base color is Pirate Polish The Buffster, named after Buffy the vampire slayer. I guess her flowers should have been red – but she has a soft side, so I painted them in pink and blue, and on the ring finger I layered with Pirate Polish Salt + Pepper – se my swatches of this new indie brand HERE. I top coated with Seche vite.

Grundfarven er Pirate Polish The Buffster, der er opkaldt efter vampyrdræberen Buffy, så blomsterne burde måske have været røde. Men mon ikke også hun har en blød side - så jeg malede dem i lyserød og blå, og på ringfingeren har jeg blot lagt et lag af Pirate Polish Salt + Pepper – se mine swatches af dette helt nye inde mærke HER. Toplakken er Seche Vite.

Pirate Polish – a new indie brand

 

Tara from from The Laquer Tracker and I very quickly became friends, and I have been fortunate enough to follow her first steps into polish making – and now her Etsy shop Pirate Polish is up and flying too. 

In the package I also found a Domo Kun madly in love with Radioactive (obvious reasons) and a little bear with a salmon in his mouth, carved of some kind of stone, thank you so much Tara!!.
So I’m excited to present the 4 I have chosen here today, the overall impression is convincing!

Tara fra The laquer Tracker og jeg blev hurtigt venner, og jeg har været heldig at kunne følge hende mens hun lavede de første Pirate Polishes. Du kan købe lakkerne i hendes Etsy shop klik HER
Med i pakken var der også en Domo Kun, vildt forelsket i Radioactive, ikke så mærkelig, og en lille bjørn med laks, skåret i sten, tusind tak Tara!

Så jeg er superglad for at kunne vise de 4 jeg foreløbig har valgt, og helhedsindtrykket er overbevisende!

Radioactive is a neon glitter with tiny pieces of yellow and green, it’s so bold, and I love it. I dries with a bit of texture, but with one coat of Seche Vite you have a smooth nail. Here it’s shown with Seche Vite, and on the ring finger you see it over The Buffster.

Radioactive er en neonglitter med små bitte stykker i gul og grøn, den er super frisk, og jeg er vild med den. Den tørrer med en lidt ru overflade, men et lag Seche Vite har du en glat negl. Her er den vist med Seche Vite, og på ringfingeren over The Buffster.

Poison Apple, 2 coats, no top coat. It’s a delicious apple/mint green heavily packed with multicolored micro glitter that reflects all kinds of colors – gorgeous. It dries with a little texture.

Poison Apple, to lag uden toplak. Det er en lækker mint/æblegrøn med en masse multifarvet mikro glitter, der reflekterer i mange forskellige farver – utrolig smuk. Den tørrer med en smule tekstur.

 

Poison Apple with Salt + Pepper – a jagged black and white (more like silver IMO) glitter in a clear base, and somehow it seems less noisy than most of its kind, this would be great with nail art on it. On the ring finger I sponged the tip with Radioactive, and finally I top coated with Seche Vite.

Poison Apple med Salt + Pepper – en sort og hvid/sølv glitter i en klar base, og den virker mindre urolig end flere andre i samme boldgade, jeg kan godt forestille mig den som base for nail art. På ringfingeren har jeg lavet en gradient med Radioactive, og til sidst topcoatede jeg med Seche Vite.

 

The Buffster is a gorgeous medium purple with a heavy load of shimmer – and a true one coater, here without top coat. It dries semi matte with a little texture, but a top coat makes it smooth and brings out all the nice shimmer.

I’ll show you The Buffster with nail art and Seche Vite later this week.

The Buffster er en smuk medium lilla med en masse shimmer – og en et lags, her vist uden toplak. Den tørrer semimat og lidt tekstur, men en toplak gør den glat og lokker al den smukke shimmer frem.

Jeg viser The Buffster med nail art senere i ugen, enten mandag eller fredag.
