This
week’s challenge in Artsy Wednesday is braided – I thought it would be so
difficult, but it wasn’t really, only a little time consuming and an awful lot
of layers of polish.
But it
was fun to try, and I did like the look of it, even though it could have been
more perfect.
The base
color is Nails Inc. Sumner Place (the yellow) and the pink is Essie Lovie Dovie
and the blue is Essie Bikini So Teeny – and the top coat is Seche Vite.
CutePolish has a very helpful tutorial HERE
Check out what the other girls in Artsy
Wednesday did in this weeks challenge: CutePolish has a very helpful tutorial HERE
Michelle - Lab Muffin, Alanna - Pretty Purple Polish, Tif - Polished Genious, (not this week: Lyndsey - Nails by Ms. Lizard), Catrine - Unnakednails, Melanie - Nail & Polish, Jessica - Beauty Gnome, Kamen - Kaka Beauty Blog, Emily - An Accent Nail,
Denne uges udfordring i Artsy Wednesday er en flettet
manicure – jeg troede det ville være svært, men det var faktisk ikke så slemt,
dog var det lidt tidskrævende og man ender op med mange lag lak.
Men det var sjovt at prøve, og jeg var tilfreds med
resultatet, selvom det naturligvis godt kunne have været mere perfekt. Grundfarven er den gule Nails Inc. Sumner
Place, de to andre er fra Essie, den lyserøde Lovie Dovie og den lyseblå Bikini
So Teeny – toplakken er Seche Vite.

It's very pretty, but my brain can't seem to quite understand it :D
SvarSletYou'll have to use pretty opaque polishes for it, right?
Thanks Rainbowify Me. My brain couldn't either, but then I found this video on you tube bý Cute polish, and that helped - I'll put it in the post right now!
SletYes I think opaque polishes are the best!

SvarSletTusind tak Sonja :)
SletHov, slet ingen blomster? Det er en rigtig flot braided mani, synes mange af dem jeg har set er meget uens i tykkelsen af stregerne... Ikk så pænt, men garanteret svært at få lavet ens. Thumbs up! ;-)

SletExcellent job! How much time did you need to do this manicure? :-) Great combination of colours, so joyful! :-)
SvarSletThanks a lot Raggio di Luna, I didn't time it, but I felt it was on the long side, mostly because of all the layers - but I typically surf a little during dry-time, and sometimes get sidetracked LOL
