Tiger Domo Kun Qee celebreity - Artsy Wednesday

 

 

He isn't biting me LOL - han bider mig ikke ;)

 

This week’s challenge is “Inspired by a celebrity manicure”, and to be honest, I have absolutely NO idea of who wears what LOL

But I do know that the celebrity on my blog is Strawberry Domo Kun Qee. So here you have another and until now less famous celebrity from my nail polish shelf: Tiger Domo Kun Qee…

The base color is Essence 01 Chilled Orange from the Soul Sista Coll., and I find it to be the perfect match for my tiger Domo Kun. His face and stripes, I painted with acrylic color, and I top coated with Seche vite.

Check out what the other girls in Artsy Wednesday did in this weeks challenge: 
Michelle at Lab Muffin,  Alanna at Pretty Purple Polish, Holly at Hooked, Tif at Polished Genious, Sofie from Swååfie, Catrine at Unnakednails, Melanie at Nail & Polish, Jessica at Beauty Gnome

This week Lyndsey isn't posting (Nails by Ms. Lizard,)
Denne uges udfordring er “Inspireret af en berømtheds manicure”, og for at sige det lige ud, så aner jeg ikke hvem der har hvad på ;)

Men jeg ved at berømtheden på min blog er Strawberry DomoKun Qee. Så her har i en anden og indtil nu knap så kendt berømthed fra min neglelakshylde: Tiger Domo Kun Qee…

Grundfarven er Essence 01 Chilled Orange fra Soul Sista Coll., og jeg synes den er det perfekte match for Domo Kuns farve. Hans ansigt og striberne har jeg malet med akryl farve, og toplakken er Seche Vite.

Happy New Year - godt nytår!!

Dear all - kære alle.
In 15 hours, it's 2012 in Denmark, (it's 9 in the morning right now) and I have a little card for you to see. But remember to check in again later (1 hour earlier than normally) to see part 17 of the Christmas Story told by the little mouse - and my New Years mani.
The card you find HERE, and if you are having problems, below I have copy and pasted, what I wrote in it...
And remember my first  give-away, you need to react soon, to participate...

Om 15 timer fra nu, er det 2012 her i lille Danmark, og jeg har et kort til jer. 
Men husk at kigge ind igen senere (1 time tidligere end normalt) for at se del 17 af Julehistorien, fortalt af den lille mus - og billederne er af mine negle, som de ser ud i dag.
Kortet finder du HER, og hvis du har problemer med at læse det, har jeg indkopieret det skrevne nedenstående...
Der er kun 4, der har sendt mig en mail, som er nødvendig for at deltage i lodtrækningen om en lille gave - læs mere HER -  jeg håber at høre fra lidt flere :)

I wish you all a happy New Year, with a lot of wonderful days!
If you look closely, you'll see our little mouse from the Christmas Story in this little film too...
I'm not sure I can keep up with the every day posting on the blog, it's extremely time consuming, and I do not want it to be a pressure rather than a pleasure. But I do have a LOT of ideas, that I want to share with you :)
Jeg ønsker jer alle et rigtigt godt og lykkeligt nytår!
Hvis i kigger godt efter, er vores lille mus fra julehistorien også med i denne lille film...
Jeg er ikke sikker på, at jeg kan fortsætte med at poste noget nyt på bloggen hver dag, for det er ekstremt tidskrævende, og jeg vil ikke have, at bloggen pludselig bliver et stressmoment fremfor noget, jeg glæder mig til og over. Men jeg har MASSER af ideer, som jeg gerne vil dele med jer :)

Kind regards/kærlig hilsen

The Christmas Story: Berries with golden ribbons, day 5 - Jule historien: Bær med gyldne bånd, dag 5

Dansk, se længere nede

Yesterday the family went for a walk in the wood to collect branches and berries. Today mum made decorations with red berries, leaves and golden ribbons. The little mouse thought they were so pretty, and part of her wondered just HOW yummy those berries might be…?

To be continued…

I går var familien i skoven for at samle ting til juledekorationer. Og nu har mor lavet nogle fine dekorationer med røde bær, grønne blade og gyldne bånd. Den lille mus syntes de var så kønne, men en lille del af hende spekulerede på, om de røde bær mon ikke smagte helt vildt godt…?

Fortsættes…
The base color is 3 coats of China Glaze Frosty, and I dotted the red berries with China Glaze Ring In The Red. The green leaves I painted with a fine brush using China Glaze Glittering Garland. Finally I made the golden ribbons with Color Club Art Club You’re Golden nail art striper.

You can make the berries more opaque with a cream polish, but in the “real life” nail size they were very nice, red and shiny.

Grundfarven er 3 lag China Glaze Frosty, og de røde bær er dottet på med China Glaze Ring In The Red. De grønne blade er malet med China Glaze Glittering Garland. Til de gyldne bånd brugte jeg Color Club Art Club You’re Golden nail art striper. Du kan vælge at gøre de røde bær mere uigennemsigtige ved at vælge en creme lak. Men i virkelighedens neglestørrelse var resultatet skinnende, rødt og lige tilpas.

The Christmas Story: Winter landscape, day 4 - Jule historien: Snelandskab, dag 4

Dansk, se længere nede.

Today the family went for a walk to pick materials in the wood for some Christmas decorations. The little mouse would have liked to go outside too. She thought it would be fun to make tunnels under the snow, like mice do. But she got scared because she was almost certain, that she could see the owl sitting in a tree, and owls eat mice. I’m not sure I can see the owl, can you see it???

To be continued…

I dag tog hele familien i skoven for at samle materialer til julepynten. Den lille mus ville også gerne have været ude og lave gange under sneen, som mus gør, når det er vinter. Men hun blev forskrækket, for hun var næsten helt sikker på, at hun kunne se uglen i et træ, og ugler spiser mus. Jeg er ikke helt sikker på, at jeg kan se uglen, kan du få øje på den???

Fortsættes…

The base color is 2 coats of China Glaze Kaleidoskope Him Out, and for the snow I used 2 coats of OPI Alpine Snow, the second one I sponged on. The trees and the snow on them I painted with acrylic colors using a fine brush.

Grundfarven er 2 lag China Glaze Kaleidoskope Him Out, og sneen lavede jeg med to lag OP Alpine Snow, hvoraf det sidste lag blev duppet på. Træerne og sneen på træerne er håndmalet med akryl maling og en fin pensel.

The Christmas Story: Windy and snowy break of dawn, day 2 - Jule historien: Blæsende morgengry med snevejr, dag 2

Dansk, længere nede.

Just like the little mouse had thought, it started to snow during the windy night. When she woke in the very early hours of the morning the sky was clearer, but the wind was still whirling the snow around, and it covered the bushes in the garden. She looked forward to seeing the children play in the snow. Yes, winter had come, and before she curled up for another snooze, her last thought was, that she was happy to be a house mouse with her own apartment.

To be continued…

Det var ganske rigtigt begyndt at sne i løbet af natten, lige som den lille mus havde regnet med. Da hun vågnede i de tidlige morgentimer, var himlen lysere, men det sneede fortsat og det føg, så buskene i haven var dækket til. Hun glædede sig til at se børnene lege i sneen. Jo, det var blevet vinter, og hun før hun igen rullede sig sammen for at sove videre, tænkte hun på, hvor glad hun var over at være en husmus med egen bolig.

Fortsættes…

In this very easy to do manicure I used two coats of China Glaze Blue Year’s eve. When dry I sponged my tips with OPI Alpine Snow twice. I wanted to make it windy with snow swirling so I made the top line uneven. With a small dotting tool (you could use a toothpick) I dotted snow on the midnight blue sky. Finally I added Seche Vite. It wasn’t until I was in the middle of the mani, that I realized, that it looks like the background in the Tuborgs Christmas beer cartoon :)

I denne lette og enkle manicure lagde jeg først 2 lag China Glaze Blue Year’s eve, og da det var tørt duppede jeg a 2 omgange med en finkornet svamp ”sneen” på med OPI Alpine Snow. Med en dotting tool (du kan bruge en tandstikker) prikkede jeg sneen på. Til slut brugte jeg Seche Vite top coat. Jeg var halvvejs henne i manicuren inden det gik op for mig, at farverne mindede mig om baggrunden i Tuborgs juletegnefilm :)
