The flowers on Baker Street

The base color is 2 coats (is actually almost a one-coater) the gooorgeous Nails Inc. Baker Street. I sponged s little China Glaze Kaleidoscope Him Out in the middle area of each nail, and I painted the flowers with acrylic paint. The top coat is Seche Vite.

The holographic effect was real strong in real life even if I only sponged 1 “layer”, but I had a little problems capturing it for the photos…

Grundfarven er 2 lag (selvom et lag næsten er nok) af den viiidunderligt smukke Nails Inc. Baker Street. Jeg duppede lidt China Glaze Kaleidoscope Him Out på midterområdet på hver negl, og jeg malede blomster med akrylfarve. Top lakken er Seche Vite.

Den holografiske effekt var meget stærk i virkeligheden selvom jeg kun duppede 1 ”lag” på, men jeg havde lidt problemer med at fange effekten på billederne…

Soul Sista united sponging - Soul Sista Week

I really don't like this mani, but here it is anyhow...
Jeg bryder mig faktisk ikke om denne mani, men her er den alligevel...

 

The base color is Essence 04 Totally Retro Nude, and it turned out to be a one-coater, nice surprise for a nude color. Color-wise definitely out of my comfort zone, and I would never wear it (or any skin toned nude) without nail art. It did not really inspire me to doing anything, but then I got the “bright” idea to sponge all the other colors from the Essence Soul Sista collection, see more HERE 

I was pleased when I wore it, felt it has kind of a water color-like look – but I now when I see the photos again, I don’t know how I feel about it, ahh well...

It’s difficult to get a clear picture of what Totally Retro Nude looks like on the nail, but it does peek through here and there LOL

Grundfarven er Essence 04 Totally Retro Nude, og selvom den er en nude, viste den sig at være en et-lags-lak. Farven er slet ikke mig, og jeg ville ikke bruge den (eller andre hudtone nudes) uden nail art. Den inspirerede mig ikke egang rigtigt til noget, men så fik jeg den ”lyse” ide at duppe de andre farver fra Essence Soul Sista kollektionen, se mere HER på med en make-up svamp. 

Jeg endte med at være tilfreds med det let vandfarveagtige look, men når jeg nu genser billederne nogen tid senere, ved jeg nu ikke rigtigt, men tjah...

Det er svært at se, hvordan Totally Retro Nude ser ud i sig selv, men den kigger igennem de andre farver her og der :)

Messy Mesmerize abstract mani

 

 

The base color is one coat of the very well pigmented, beautiful blue Essie Mesmerize, and then I chose 3 colors to sponge and dot on it: Essie Mint Candy Apple, Essie Cocktail Bling and OPI Alpine Snow. It’s totally unpredictable and not at all planned – and it was fun and bright to wear – do you like it as abstract nail art – or is it just a total mess to you – be honest??

Grundfarven er et lag af den meget velpigmenterede og smukke Essie Mezmerize, og derefter valgte jeg 3 farver som jeg duppede på: Essie Mint Candy Apple, Essie Cocktail Bling og OPI Alpine Snow. Det er helt uforudsigeligt og uplanlagt – og det var sjovt at have denne mani på med dens klare farver. Kan du li’ den som abstrakt nail art – eller synes du bare det er en gang rod – vær ærlig??

Greyscale galaxy – Artsy Wednesday

 

Dansk, se længere nede.

I have wanted to do a galaxy for a long time, but there are so many of them on various blogs, so did the world really need one more? No, I thought, but then this week’s challenge was “Greyscale”, and I immediately thought, yes, you should make a grayscale galaxy, I haven’t seen one of those around.

The base color is A-England Camelot. When dry I sponged random areas with OPI Alpine Snow, China Glaze Concrete Catwalk and Essie Cocktail Bling. The stars I dotted with Alpine snow, and finally I top coated this super easy & quick mani 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, Lyndsey at Nails by Ms. Lizard, Sofie from Swååfie, Catrine from Unnakednails, Melanie at Nail & Polish, Jessica at Beauty Gnome

Jeg har længe villet lave en galakse mani, men dem er der mange af på blogge rundt om i verden, så jeg syntes ikke der var brug for flere. Men da jeg fik titlen for denne uges udfordring ”gråtone skalaen” tænkte jeg straks, YES, jeg laver da en gråtone galakse, en sådan har jeg ikke set endnu. 

Til grundfarven brugte jeg A-England Camelot. Derefter duppede jeg med Essie Cocktail Bling, China Glaze Concrete Catwalk og OPI Alpine Snow, som jeg også prikkede stjernerne på med. Top coat er Seche Vite, og det er en super, super let og hurtig mani at lave.
