Who let the dot in – who, who, who…? Artsy Wednesday

 

 

Once again it’s our nice Artsy Wednesday, and the challenge is stripes.

I thought it would be appropriate for me to share my new advanced striping security system from Stripe Fence, called “Dot guard”, that supposedly: “Keeps dots out of any unwanted space by using a highly advanced striping system, that the simpleminded dot cannot figure out”. I bought it after the dots overwhelmed me in this mani...

All I can say is: Maybe this is one smart dot, but I’m disappointed and want a full refund!

OK, back to the boring facts; base color is Butter London HRH and the random pattern of stripes AND THE DOT is painted (freehand) acrylic colors before I top coated with Seche Vite…

Check out what the other girls in Artsy Wednesday did in this weeks challenge, we now post simultaneously, so go right ahead: Michelle at Lab Muffin,  Alanna at Pretty Purple Polish, Holly at Hooked, Tif at Polished Genious, Lyndsey at Nails by Ms. Lizard, Sofie from Swååfie, Catrine from Unnakednails, Melanie at Nail & Polish, Jessica at Beauty Gnome,

Så er det igen Artsy Wednesday og udfordringen er striber.

Derfor synes jeg, at det ville være passende at vise jer mit nye avancerede stribe sikkerhedsssytem fra Stripe Fence, der hedder ”Dot Guard”, og som lover: ”Holder prikker væk fra alle uønskede områder ved hjælp af et højteknologisk stribesystem, som de mindre begavede prikker ikke kan finde ud af”. Jeg købte det efter at prikkerne overvældede mig i dette design...

Ja, jeg kan kun sige: Måske er det en rigtigt klog lille prik, men jeg er skuffet og vil have mine penge tilbage!

OK, og så de kedelige detajler; Grundfarven er Butter London HRH og de fuldstændigt tilfældige striber OG PRIKKEN er malet (frihånd) med akrylfarve før jeg topcoatede med Seche Vite…

Three gorgeous Butter London's, swatches, review & comparison

When I bought 3 colors from the the Spring/summer collection 2012, see them HERE, I also bought these 3. The apply well and are easy to work with, all photos show them in 2 coats over a ridge filler base coat and without a top coat.

Da jeg købte 3 farver fra  Spring/summer kollektionen 2012, se dem HER, købte eg også disse 3. Deer lette at påføre, og alle fotos viser dem påført i 2 lag over en ridge filler grundlak, men uden en toplak.

 

To the left is Butter London HRH – to the right A-England Avalon. IRL they are awfully similar IRL, but enlarged you see that HRH is a hint more warm-toned and has a little more red than blue shimmer – and the Avalon has a little more blue than red shimmer

Butter London HRH (Her Royal Highness) is a to die for royal purple – shiny and beautiful shimmer polish with a little more red than blue shimmer. It applies well and dries fairly quickly.

Butter London HRH (Her Royal Highness) er en fuldstændigt vidunderlig royal lilla – skinnendeog smuk shimmer lak, der har lidt mere rød end blå skimmer, I modsætning til A-England Avalon, der ellers ligner den utroligt meget.

Butter London Wallis – another to die for color… I don't have anything like it. It’s olive/moss green with loads of golden flecks/shimmer, I’m head over heels I love with this one!

Butter London Wallis – er en lak, som jeg er faldet fuldstændigt pladask for… Jeg har ingen farver, der minder om den. Den er oliven/mosgrøn  og ladet med gul shimmer/flecks, er den ikke lækker?

 

Left/venstre Butter London Knees Up - right/højre China Glaze Red Pearl

Butter London Knees Up – where to begin – where to end in describing this drop dead gorgeous foil, shimmery RED, a true red – oh WOOOW. It applies as butter LOL, does not leave brush marks, and dries quickly.  

Can you tell I like it ;)

IRL Knees Up and Red Pearl are hard to tell apart, but on these macro shots the Knees Up is a bit darker.

Butter London Knees Up – ja hvor skal jeg begynde og hvor skal jeg slutte i beskrivelsen af denne ubeskriveligt smukke folie/shimmer RØDE lak – woow, altså. Dener let at påføre og efterlader ikke mærker af penslen som mange af samme type gør, og den tørrer hurtigt. 

Kan du fornemme, at jeg synes om den ;)

Med det blotte øje er det svært at se forskel på Knees Up og Red Pear, men på macro billederne er Knees Up en anelse mørkere.
