Floral failure nail art

The base color is Indigo Bananas Klein Trink Wasser, see swatches HERE, and I wanted to test a new brand of acrylic colors and made a total mess of it all – I didn’t like the end result, but ah well, that’s life, my sweet husband liked it. I dabbed a bit of Sinful Pinky Glitter in the center of the flowers, and the top coat is Seche Vite.

What do you think of this floral failure?

This is a scheduled post, I am having a long needed offline week, but I look forward to reading your comments and visiting your blogs again around May 6th….

Daisy nail art

The base color is one single coat of Too Fancy Laquer Tell Me A Sea-cret, see swatches HERE - and I went for a simple fabric-like pattern with flower petals painted with acrylic craft colors. Before I top coated with Seche Vite I added a coat of Northern Light Hologram Top Coat Silver.

Pastel blue flowers on neon pink

 

 

 

The base color is Barry M Neon Pink – and it was easy to choose flowers for it, these sprung in mind immediately, and as usual I painted them in acrylic color. The top coat is Seche Vite.
I think these were some of the first of this type of flowers I made 1-2 months ago, a bit simplistic, but I still love the colors...

Grundfarven er Barry M Neon Pink – og det var let at vælge, hvad jeg skulle male på den, disse blomster var det første jeg tænkte på. Jeg har som sædvanlig brugt akrylfarve og topcoated med Seche Vite.
Dette var vist den (eller en af de) første af denne type blomster jeg malede for 1-2 mdr. siden, en smule simple i forhold til de senere, men jeg synes godt om farverne.

Daises Bolts of Blue

 

 

 

 

The base color is Hedy’a Ma.nish.ma Bolts of blue, a lovely turquoise, and before I painted the daisies with acrylic colors I topped it with China Glaze fairy Dust, a holographic micro glitter.

It was Sunday June 24. and the rain was pouring the entire day – so I needed something bright :)

Unfortunately my camera had a hard time focusing and the holographic glitter was much more visible in real life, and the mani actually was much more pretty.

Grundfarven er Hedy’a Ma.nish.ma Bolts of blue, en smuk turkisblå, og før jeg malede margueritter med akrylfarve, lagde jeg et lag holografisk mikroglitter: Fairy Dust fra China Glaze.

Det var søndag den 24. juni og det øsregnede hele dagen, så jeg havde brug for noget skinnende. Desværre havde kameraet svært ved at stille skarpt ligesom det holografiske glitter var langt mere synligt i virkeligheden, faktisk var hele mainicuren langt kønnere i virkeligheden.

Catrice 800 Heavy Metallilac swatches with daisies

 

 

The second post of today is a swatch with a few simple daisies, because I still wanted to show the gorgeous one coater metallic purple, Catrice 800 Heavy Metallilac. So I went for something simple, first I painted two thin gold stripes meeting in a kind of a “short-legged X”. Then I painted the flowers and finally the vines that crawl around the gold. Top coat is – of course LOL – Seche Vite :)

Dagens andet indlæg er delvis lette marguet´ritter og delvis en swatch for at vise den smukke et-lags metalliske lilla, Catrice 800 Heavy Metallilac. Derfor holdt jeg mig til noget enkelt, først malede jeg to tynde guldstriber, dernst blomsterne og til slut ranken der snor sig om guld X-et. Toplakken er naturligvis Seche Vite.

Quick and easy flowers on One kiwi a day

 

The base color is the gorgeous Essence One Kiwi A Day from the Fruity collection. I thought it would be a one-coater, but it needed two. The flowers I painted in 3 different acrylic colors, and dotted the center with the same colors, to tie the colors together. If I had wanted to make it less discrete, I could have given the flowers red or hot pink centers. The top coat is Seche Vite.

This mani gives me a feeling of a piece of fabric or a summer table cloth, what do you think?

Grundfarven er den smukke Essence One Kiwi A Day fra Fruity kollektionen. Jeg troede det ville være en one-coater, men den skulle have to lag. Blomsterne malede jeg i tre forskellige akrylfarver, og jeg dottede blomsternes midte med de samme farver for at binde farverne sammen. Hvis jeg havde ønsket at gøre dem mindre diskrete, kunne jeg have valgt. f.eks. en pink til midten. Læste du dette på dansk eller eng.? Toplakken er Seche vite.

Denne manicure mindede mig lidt om stof eller en sommerdug, og hvad synes du?

French tip flowers

 

 

I simply do not like the classic solid French tip, at least not on my nails, they look short and fat. So I decided to do some very tiny daisies as a French tip, and I liked it!

The base color is China Glaze Traffic Jam, a gorgeous raspberry red, and for the daisies I chose a white acrylic paint and added just a tad of hot pink to it, to to give the illusion of the polish bleeding trough the petals after I top coated. IRL it was like I imagined, but on the photos it looks a bit whiter.
Did you read my previous post today? I would really like to hear your thoughts - click HERE.

Jeg bryder mig ganske enkelt ikke om den klassiske franske tip, i hvert fald ikke på mine negle, der kommer til at se fede og korte ud. Derfor besluttede jeg at male nogle meget små margueritter som en French tip, og det syntes jeg nu helt godt om!

Grundfarven er China Glaze Traffic Jam, en super smuk hindbær rød, og jeg malede blomsterne med en hvid akrylfarve, men for at give fornemmelsen af, at lakken ”blødte” lidt igennem kronbladende efter at jeg lagde toplak, tilføjede jeg lidt lyserød. I virkeligheden så det præcis sådan ud, men på billederne er det ikke helt så tydeligt.

Triangular daisies on Blue Year’s Eve

 

 

The base color is China Glaze Blue Year’s Eve. With a dotting tool I dotted a triangle of golden dots starting from the base of the nail with Orly Glitz & Glamous. Then I painted the daisies with acrylic paint – and I top coated with Seche Vite.

It was the mani I did on the 21.th of april, when I took a blog leave, and I wore it for 10 days with only a light tip wear, I’ll make a separate post about this subject on Tuesday.

Grundfarven er China Glaze Blue Year’s Eve. Med et dotting tool prikkede jeg en gylden trekant startende ved neglebåndet med Orly Glitz & Glamour. Til sidst lagde jeg Seche Vite toplak.

Det var den manicure jeg lavede den 21.04. hvor jeg holdt blog fri, og den holdt i 10 dage med kun let slitage på tipperne, jeg laver et indlæg om emnet med tips og tricks på tirsdag.

Sidesweep flowers

 

And then the weirdest thing happen, then next morning after I showered there were MORE flowers...? ;)
Og den næste morgen efter at jeg havde været i bad, skete det mest mærkelige, der var pludselig FLERE blomster...? ;)

The base coat is Nubar Faded Jeans. It surprised me by being a bit sheer and it dried slower than Nubar normally do, weird…

I freehanded the flowers with acrylic colors over the area that I first had sponged with 3 green colors China Glaze Gaga For Green + Glittering garland and Essie Pretty Edgy. I have quite a few manis’ with this type of flowers by now, so you are going to see them a lot in different versions. The top coat is Seche Vite.

Grundfarven er Nubar Faded Jeans, der overraskede mig ved ikke at være særligt godt dækkende eller hurtigt tørrende, mærkeligt…

Jeg malede de små blomster frihånd med akrylfarve over et område, som jeg først havde duppet med 3 grønne farver: China Glaze Gaga For Green + Glittering garland and Essie Pretty Edgy.

Denne type blomster har jeg efterhånden et pænt lager af, så du kommer til at se dem i mange forskellige afskygninger :) Toplakken er som vanligt Seche vite.

Daisies on jade

 

 

In the middle of January I painted these daisies with acrylic color. The base color is 2 coats of OPI Jade is the New Black, se swatches below. I finished off with Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

Do you like my daisies?
Tomorrow & Thursday you will see more flowers on my blog...

I midten af januar malede jeg disse margeuritter med acrylfarve oven på 2 lag OPI Jade is the New Black, se lakken uden blomster nedenstående. Jeg sluttede med Seche Vite toplak.

Kan du li’ mine margueritter??
I morgen og på torsdag kommer der flere blomster...

Jade is the New Black is a cream polish, that is opaque in two coats. It’s a beautiful dark jade color, and I like it a lot. Here you have it in 2 coats and without a top coat.

Jade is the New Black er en creme lak, der dækker fint ved to lag. Det er en smuk jadegrøn farve, og jeg er vild med den. Her ser du den med 2 lag og uden top coat.
