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…

Floral pale yellow ombre – or is it prize rosettes…?

 

 

For this pastel/light yellow ombre I used the following colors goring from thumb to pinkie: China Glaze Sunshine pop, Barry M Lemon Ice Cream, Nails Inc. Notting Hill Carnival, Nails Inc. Sumner Place and Essence Mellow Yellow. 

I painted my one-stroke flowers in acrylic paint, and cannot decide if they look too much like a prize rosette LOL

Til denne lysegule ombre brugte jeg følgende farver startende fra tomlen: China Glaze Sunshine pop, Barry M Lemon Ice Cream, Nails Inc. Notting Hill Carnival, Nails Inc. Sumner Place og Essence Mellow Yellow.  

Jeg malede one-stroke blomsterne med akrylfarve, og jeg kan ikke rigtigt finde ud af, om de mest af alt ligner præmie rosetter ;)

Pastel in pastel in pastel in.....

This post comes with a pastel overload warning. You need to be in a pastel mood to fully enjoy this post LOL
Dette indlæg postes med en pastel overdosis advarsel. Du bør være i pastel humør for at kunne nyde det ;)

 

 

 

I was in a pastel mood, and I was looking forward to trying two Sinful colors, the lovely pastel yellow: Unicorn and the pastel blue with lovely flecks: Cinderella, both from my swap with Lydia!

I couldn’t decide, so Cinderella became my accent nail. They both needed 3 coats, and the dry time was a bit slow. I decided to paint flowers with pastel acrylic colors and one was a perfect match for Cinderella – and well, let the photos speak for themselves.

I enjoyed this mani when I wore it, now, well... – what do you think?

Jeg var i totalt pastel humør, og jeg glædede mig til at afprøve to Sinful lakker, den lækre pastel gule: Unicorn og den pastel blå med de smukke flakes: Cinderella – begge fra mit bytte med Lydia!

Jeg kunne ikke beslutte, så jeg brugte Cinderella som accent på ringfingeren. Jeg var nødt til at lægge 3 lag af hver, og jeg var ikke imponeret over tørretiden. Jeg besluttede at malte blomster i pastel farver, og en var i samme nuance som Cinderella – og ja, billederne taler for sig selv.

Jeg kunne godt li’ denne mani da jeg havde den på, men nu, ja... – hvad synes du?

Yellow tulips on pastel yellow

OBS – I have removed my blog list because some blogs on it seems to be infected, and it apparently spreads through them. Readers using Chrome might have gotten warnings on my blog because those blogs on my list – but it’s safe, FireFox and Internet Explorer have no problem with it :)

OBS – jeg har fjernet min blogliste fordi flere blogge på den tilsyneladende var inficeret – og derfor kunne bruger af Chrome browseren opleve advarsler mod min blog fordi den linkede. Men min blog er sikker, FireFox og Internet Explorer har ikke problemer med den :)

 

The base color is Essence Banana Joe from the Fruity Collection. I was very excited to try on a pale yellow polish, and it didn’t look as terrible as I thought it would. In fact it released a huge craving for pastel yellow – which is reflected in my recent polish buys LOL

But I liked it even better with the leaves, vegetation and yellow tulips! I used acrylic color for the decoration and Seche Vite is the top coat.

What do you think of yellow on yellow?

Grundfarven er Essence Banana Joe fra Fruity kollektionen. Jeg glædede mig til at prøve en pastel gul farve, og den så slet ikke hæslig ud på mig, som jeg havde frygtet. Faktisk udløste den en stor trang til pastel gul, hvilket kan ses på hylden hvor de uafprøvede lakker står :)

Men jeg kunne trods alt li’ den endnu bedre med blade, vegetation of gule tulipaner! Jeg brugte akrylfarve og sluttede af med Seche Vite toplak.

Yellow neon flowers on a yellow birdie

 

 

 

The weather was rainy and cold at the end of April, so I decided to make something summery and bright. I had no real plan except that the base color should be the yellow Catrice 700 Birdie Reloaded! Then my eye was caught by China Glaze Turned Up Turqouise (neon), and I sponged it randomly over the yellow. Then I found a neon green acrylic color, mixed it with a little white to give it opacity, and so I painted neon flowers. Finally I top coated with Seche Vite. It was really fun and bright to wear!

Vejret var koldt og regnfuldt I slutningen af april, så jeg havde lyst til noget sommerligt og klart i farverne. Jeg havde ikke nogen egentlig plan bortset fra at grundfarven skulle være den gule Catrice 700 Birdie Reloaded! Og så faldt mine øjne pludseligt på China Glaze Turned Up Turqouise (neon), og jeg duppede den tilfældigt hen over deet gule. Derefter valgte jeg en neon grøn/gul acrylfarve, blandede lidt hvidt i, og malede neon blomster. Til slut top coatede jeg med Seche Vite. Det var virkelig sjovt at have denne mani på neglene.

Emotions in 3D – Artsy Wednesday - my post #300

I have forgotten all my previous milestones – but this is post #300 since October 22^nd.

Jeg har glemt alle tidligere milepæle, men dette er indlæg nr. 300 på bloggen siden 22.10.11!  

 

 

This week’s challenge in Artsy Wednesday is 3D, and I actually prepared a "ladylike" and nice mani, that I’ll show you on Friday. But let’s face it – I’m not a lady, I’m a very old child ;)

The base color is the warm and shimmery Sinful Colors Let’s Meet – and that was an appropriate name for this little get together :)

I bought some googly/wobbly eyes (3mm) from Ebay – and I couldn’t stop laughing because it looks like Mr. Middle really was either afraid or concerned about Mr. Thumb, and Mr. Index seemed to be very happy about him LOL
What do you think they are saying to each other???

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

Denne uges udfordring i Artsy Wednesday er 3D, og jeg havde egentlig forberedt en meget mere ladylike mani, som jeg vil vise på fredag. Men lad os se det i øjnene, jeg er ikke nogen dame, jeg er bare et meget gammelt barn ;)

Grundfarven er den smukke gule Sinful Colors let’s Meet, hvilket er et meget passende navn til denne sammenkomst :)

Jeg købte googly/wobbly eyes (3mm) fra Ebay – og jeg kunne ikke lade være med at grine, for det så ud som om Hr. Langemand var bange for eller nervøs over Hr. Tommel, og Hr. Pegefinger så ud til at være ret glad for ham :)
Hvad tror du, de siger til hinanden?

Small purple one-stroke flowers on yellow - små lilla blomster på gult

Happy Easter Monday, in Denmark our Easter holiday started Thursday, and this is the last day!
The base color is China Glaze Sunshine Pop, and with acrylic colors and a striper I painted 2 greens in horizontal stripes. Then I used a very small one-stroke brush for the flowers and a dotter for the pink center of the flowers. Finally I top coated with Seche Vite.

God 2. påskedag!
Grundfarven er China Glaze Sunshine Pop, og med akrylfarve og en striper malede jeg vandrette blade/striber i 2 grønne farver. Derefter brugte jeg en meget lille one-stroke pensel til blomsterne og et dotting tool til de små pink støvdragere. Til slut lagde jeg Seche Vite Dry fast Top Coat.

"Hiding in Easter" mani - påske kamuflage

A quick, and quite silly Easter-color-Friday mani ;)
Originally I was planning a "Hiding in yellow", but my yellow's are too close to make one.  That's why I chose these colors.  
The base color is China Glaze Gaga For Green, and the camouflage is made with a dotting tool and colors from China Glaze: Solar Power, Sunshine Pop, Happy Go Lucky, Lighthouse, Papaya Punch and Sweet Hook and finally I top coated.

En hurtig og ret skør påske-farve-fredags mani ;)
Oprindeligt ville jeg have en gul kamouflage, men mine gule lakker er alt for tæt på hinanden, så derfor valgte jeg disse farver.
Grundfarven er China Glaze Gaga For Green, og camouflage mnsteret er lavet med et dotting tool og farver fra China Glaze: Solar Power, Sunshine Pop, Happy Go Lucky, Lighthouse, Papaya Punch and Sweet Hook, og til slut lagde jeg en toplak.

Flower Solar Power - also good for Easter

 

It was a grey day in the end of February, and I felt like yellow and flowers.

The base color is China Glaze Solar Power and I used acrylic colors for the green lines, one-stroke flowers and dots. The top coat is Seche Vite.

It was a bit risky to choose white and yellow for the flowers, on a yellow base, but I wanted to see if the contrast would be OK or too low, especially after top coating, where a little “bleeding” can occur  – what do you think?

More Flowers? Click on “Flowers/blomster” page in the top menu.

Det var en grå dag i slutningen af februar, og jeg havde lyst til blomster på gult.

Grundfarven er China Glaze Solar Power og jeg brugte acrylfarver til de grønne linier, one-stroke blomsterne og prikkerne. Toplakken er Seche Vite.

Det var en smule risikabelt at vælge hvid og gul til blomsterne på en gul grundfarve, men jeg ville se om kontrasten blev OK, eller for lille, især efter at jeg lagde toplakken, hvor en smule sammensmeltning kan forekomme – hvad synes du?

H&M Wanna Pepperoni swatches and review- anmeldelse

This is 2 coats of H&M Wanna Pepperoni over a ridge filler and with no top coat. It dries a bit on the slow side, but otherwise OK to work with. The color is a curry-olive-mustard – if that color exists :)
Note after removing 1 day later: It stained my nails, not terribly, but somewhat.
Her ser du 2 lag H&M Wanna Pepperoni over en ridge filler, men uden en top coat. Den tørrer lidt langsomt, men er ellers OK at arbejde med. Farven er en karry-oliven-sennep, hvis en sådan farve da ellers
eksisterer ;)
Note da jeg fjerner den en dag senere: Den gav let misfarvning, ikke meget, men dog tydeligt.

Bavarian October landscape inspiration - inspiration fra Bayerns oktober landskab

2011.10.20. We have just had a wonderful vacation in the southern part of Bavaria in Germany, and the fall colors were amazing, vibrant greens, olive, earth, rust and with more of the reds, coppers and yellows than in our Danish landscape. It is difficult to put a landscape scenery onto nails, so I decided to focus on the colors, without at all being able to give them the credit, they deserve. This is what I came up with, and yes, I can already see, what I would have liked to do differently :)

20.10.11. Vi har haft en dejlig uge i den sydlige del af Bayern i Tyskland. Naturens oktober farver var helt unikke med grønne, oliven, rustrøde, brune nuancer, men også mange flere røde, violette, gule og kobber farver end vi er vant til i det typiske danske efterårslandskab. Det er svært at omsætte et så smukt sceneri til små negle, så jeg koncentrerede mig om farverne, og dette er hvad jeg endte op med - dog uden at det på nogen måde kan yde det flotte sceneri retfærdighed, og jeg kan godt se, hvad jeg gerne ville have gjort anderledes :)

Used polishes: The base color is China Glaze Westside Warrior. Also used is Nubar Wildlife, OPI Love is a Racket and Pros and Bronze, Maybelline French Wine, China Glaze Below Deck, Art Club stripers: Yellow, Penny Pincher and Youre Golden. Top coat is Seche Vite. I also used a tiny nail art brush for the colors, that were not stripers.

De brugte farver er: China Glaze Westside Warrior som basis farve. Mønsteret er lavet af en mix af: Nubar Wildlife, OPI Love is a Racket + Pros and Bronze, Maybelline French Wine, China Glaze Below Deck, Art Club stripers: Yellow + Penny Pincher + Youre Golden. Top coat er Seche Vite. Desuden brugte jeg en lille nail art pensel.
