Tulips for Sara

 

 

I needed to take new photos of Douglas Absolute Nails Sara 07, see them HERE, so I asked my husband what kind of flowers he would like on Sara, and he wanted tulips. Arrghh, I thought, but then I went ahead, and the result is not all that bad…

Jeg ville tage nye billeder af Douglas Absolute Nails Sara 07, se dem HER – og jeg spurgte min mand om, hvad slags blomster jeg skulle male på Sara, og han sagde: tulipaner. Arrrghh, tænkte jeg, men gik i gang, og resultatet kan da vist godt gå an…

Blue Sapphire flowers - Artsy Wednesday/Thuesday

 

 

The Challenge is "Blue nails" in this weeks Artsy Wednesday, and blue is a favorite subject of mine :)I chose China Glaze Eyes like Sapphires as my base color, and I painted a few half one-stroke flowers with a lighter blue and white acrylic colors, and I outlined it with a thin golden line, before I sealed with a top coat. I like that the focus isn’t drawn away from the beautiful base color, and it’s close to THIS flower mani, that is one of my favorites. You can see more flower mani's of mine if you click on the "Flovers/blomster" page in the top menu...

Check the what the other girls did, links below…

Temaet i denne uges udfordring i Artsy Wednesday er blå negle, og blå er et favoritemne :) Jeg valgte China Glaze Eyes like Sapphires som min grundfarve og malede halve one-stroke blomster med akrylfarve i en lidt lysere blå nuance samt hvid, og jeg kantede dem med en tynd guld stribe, før jeg lagde en toplak. Jeg kan godt li’ at fokus ikke trækkes væk fra den smukke grundfarve, og resultatet er tæt på DENNE manicure, der er en af mine favoritter.

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"

Snowdrops for my husband - vintergækker til min mand

I don't think you  ever seen my mani's on the day I actually did them, except for THIS ONE, but it's my husbands birthday, so this morning I asked him, what kind of flowers he wanted, and on what base color.
He went for Butter London Bossy Boots and snowdrops, the years first flowers, because he loved the ones I removed yesterday (I'll post them Wednesday or Thursday), so this is my "take 2" on snowdrops. I don't like as much as "take 1", I'll let you judge later this week :)
Normalt viser jeg først indlæg længe efter at manicuren er taget af, måske lige pånær DENNE, men i dag er det min mands fødselsdag, så i morges spurgte jeg ham om, hvilke blomster jeg skulle lave og på hvilken baggrund. Han valgte Butter London Bossy Boots og vintergækker, fordi han var vild med dem, jeg fjernede i går (jeg viser dem onsdag eller torsdag), så disse vintergækker er faktisk "take 2". Jeg kunne lidt bedre li' "take 1", men jeg vil lade jer vurdere det senere på ugen :)

 

 

 

I spongede the ground with Butter London Wallis before I with a super thin striper painted vegetation and leaves in grey and 2 green acrylic colors, and I did the flower heads (both white and green part) with a dotting tool. Finally I top coated with Seche Vite.
See Bossy Boot swatches HERE 

Do you have snowdrops where you live?

Jeg duppede "jorden" med Butter London Wallis før jeg med en super tynd striper malede vegetation og blade med grå og 2 grønne akrylfarver, og blomsterne (både den hvide og grønne del) malede jeg med et dotting tool. Til slut lagde jeg min toplak, Seche Vite.

My right hand

Dansk, se længere nede.
I had no real plan, except that I wanted to try Zoya Dree. But then it started to loudly cry out for some kind of nail art, and I know better than to disappoint a wee polish. I chose 6 different acrylic colors that wouldn’t subdue it, and let my mind wander without any goal, like when you doodle during a phone conversation, and this was the result. I sealed the design with Seche Vite.
And so this became the first of a row of unplugged nail art on army/olive colors, and this might not be very good - but still the first ...
Jeg havde ingen plan, havde bare lyst til at prøve Zoya Dree. Men Dree begyndte straks at tigge om en eller anden form for nail art, og jeg skuffer af princip aldrig en lille neglelak, der tigger. Derfor valgte jeg 6 forskellige acrylfarver, som ikke ville overdøve den, og lod ellers tankerne vandre uden noget mål eller plan, ligesom når man kruseduller, mens man snakker i telefon. Jeg sluttede af med Seche Vite dry fast top coat.
Sådan gik startskuddet til en række unplugged nail art på army/olivengrønne farver. Resultatet er måske ikke så godt som de senere - men det var det første.

V.I.P. birthday party - fødselsdags fest

And the right hand - og så lige højre hånd

We had the great fortune to be invited to princess Amalie's 5 yr. birthday party yesterday. So I had to come up with a girly, girly manicure, and decided to go for a bubblegum pink polish and to decorate it with balloons and a birthday cake!
The base color is 2 coats of Essie Lovie Dovie, see swatches HERE, and the cake I painted with OPI Alpine snow. The balloons and the details on the cake, I painted with acrylic colors and a detail brush.
PS: Princess Amalie is our granddaughter, but you probably guessed :)
I går var vi så heldige at være inviteret til prinsesse Amalies 5-års fødselsdagsfest. Så en super piget og lyserød neglelak var nødvendig, og jeg besluttede at dekorere den med balloner og en fødselsdagskage!
Grundfarven er 2 lag Essie Lovie Dovie, se billeder af lakken alene HER, og jeg brugte OPI Alpine Snow til selve kagen. Derefter malede jeg ballonerne og detaljerne på kagen med akrylfarve og en fin pensel.
PS: Prinsesse Amalie er vores barnebarn, men det har du sikkert gættet :)
