Hiding in Skittles - Artsy Wednesday

 

I guess it’s a sign that you are old, when you have to Google the word Skittles to learn what it is… :)

They are this week’s challenge in Artsy Wednesday, and I realized that they would fit right in to my “Hiding in X” series. I tried to find the polishes closest to the photos of Skittles that I found on the internet, and the green and the orange could have been closer, but I guess that means I do not have enough polishes – right???

I started out with painting my nails white with OPI Alpine snow, and then I dotted the Skittles with China Glaze: Turned Up Turquise (greenish) + Sunshine Pop (yellow) + Hey Sailor (red), Orly Orange Punch and Absolute Nails Precious. Finally I top coated.

It was a fun and bright mani to wear on a rainy day…

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, Lyndsey Nails by Ms. Lizard, Sofie Swååfie, Catrine Unnakednails, Melanie Nail & Polish, Jessica Beauty Gnome

Det er nok et tegn på, at man er gammel, når man er nødt til at Google ordet Skittles for at finde ud af hvad det er :) 

De er denne uges udfordring i Artsy Wednesday, og jeg tænkte hurtigt at de ville passe perfekt ind i min ”Hiding in x” camouflage serie. Jeg prøvede at finde de lakker, der var tættest på de billeder jeg havde fundet af Skittles, men den grønne og den orange kunne havde været bedre, men det er jo bare et tegn på, at jeg har for få neglelakker, ikke…?

Jeg startede med et lag OPI Alpine snow, og derefter dottede jeg Skittles med China Glaze: Turned Up Turquise (greenish) + Sunshine Pop (yellow) + Hey Sailor (red), Orly Orange Punch og Absolute Nails Precious. Til sidst lagde jeg toplak!

Det var et sjovt og farverigt design, som jeg lavede en grå og regnfuld dag…

 

Precious Flowers

 

 

I needed to take new photos of Douglas Absolute Nails Precious 13, see them HERE.

I was inspired to do some flowers complementing, but not overpowering, Precious’s burgundy dark brown-red color, hence the name. 
I used acrylic colors and a fine detail brush, and I finished with a coat of Seche Vite.
The flowers make it less vampy and more "digestable" for my nails, what do you think? 
Remember that you can find all my flower mani's in the top row menu on the page "Flowers/blomster"

Jeg har taget nye billeder af Douglas Absolute Nails Precious 13, se dem HER.

Jeg fik lyst til at male blomster der komplimenterede, men ikke dominerede, Precious’s mørke rødbrune bordeaux farve, så deraf opstod navnet.
Jeg brugte akrylfarver, en fin pensel, og afsluttede med Seche Vite Top Coat.
Jeg synes blomsterne gør farven mindre vampy og mere let fordøjelig på mine negle - hvad synes du?
Husk at du kan finde alle mine blomster manicurer i top menuen under fanebladet  "Flowers/blomster"

Absolute Nails (Douglas) Precious 13 Limited Edition, swatches and review – anmeldelse

Sun outdoor - sol udendørs

Dansk, se længere nede.

Absolute Nails polishes are exclusively made for and sold in the Perfume shop chain called Douglas. Precious is a Limited Edition. It’s a dark bordeaux with a light brown hue, and it has a fine shimmer, that gives a nice shine.
This is 2 coats over a base coat, no top coat. It’s easy to apply and dries quickly. 

Edited February 2th, where I added new photos.

Denne tyske neglelak er produceret i et begrænset antal, og den sælges udelukkende i den tyske parfumerikæde Douglas. Precious er en mørk bordeaux med et tydeligt brunligt islæt, og den har et fint shimmer, der giver den et flot skær.

Dette er to lag over base coat, men der er ikke brugt top coat. Den er let at lægge og tørrer hurtigt.
Den 02. februar udskuftede jeg billederne med nye, blandt andet udendørs fotos...
