Ombre with "additions" - Artsy Wednesday!

I could have stopped here….

The theme this week of Artsy Wednesday is an ombre mani.

The truth is that I always found them to be a bit boring – but NOT any longer!

I chose to do a very shade/tone-coherent ombre within lighter blue colors going from light to darker, and I really think I achieved that…

Thumb-pinkie: Nubar Baby Blue, Nubar Blue Hydrangea, Nubar Faded jeans, China Glaze Bahamian Escape and Essie Lapis of Luxury

So, I could have stopped here – but didn’t (not much of a surprise for my regular readers ;) – should I have??

I went for a washed out look within the same color frame as the ombre, did it become too washed out...?

 

 

Check out what the other girls in Artsy Wednesday did in this weeks challenge: 
Michelle - Lab Muffin,  Alanna - Pretty Purple Polish, Holly - Hooked, Tif - Polished Genious, (not this week: Lyndsey - Nails by Ms. Lizard), Catrine - Unnakednails, Melanie - Nail & Polish, Jessica - Beauty Gnome, and the newest member of our group: Kamen - Kaka Beauty Blog, 

Delicate one-stroke flowers in gold and white

 

 

I went for a delicate look, did I succeed?

The base color is 2 coats of Nubar Baby Blue with 1 coat of Nubar White Polka Dot. For the one-stroke flowers I used acrylic colors in gold and white, and I dotted the center with a purple glitter. Finally I top coated with Seche Vite.

I'll get back to your comments shortly, see more HERE.

Jeg gik efter et sart look, lykkedes det mig?

Grundfarven er lag Nubar Baby Blue med 1 lag Nubar White Polka Dot øverst. Til one-stroke blomsterne brugte jeg guld og hvid akrylfarve, og jeg brugte en lilla glitter til midten. Til slut lagde jeg Seche Vite som toplak.

Jeg skal nok besvare kommentarer snart, se mere HER.
