Chanel Island 597, Summertime de Chanel 2012 swatches

Chanel Island 597 – is from the Summertime de Chanel coll. summer 2012: Island 597, Delight 607 and Holiday 617.

Island is a not too sheer opalescent, pale beige nude with a pretty pink hue/shimmer, and it is prone to brush strokes, but not terribly so. It might not be a color I would normally wear, but I think it was OK against my skin tone.

This is 3 coats without a top coat, but 2 coats would be OK too, but my ridges nails looks better with 3 coats.

Chanel Island 597 – er fra Summertime de Chanel kollektionen sommeren 2012: Island 597, Delight 607 og Holiday 617.

Island er en ikke alt for gennemsigtig bleg beige/nude perlemorslak med et smukt pink skær/shimmer, og den har lidt tendens til penselstrøg, men ikke katastrofalt meget. Det er måske ikke en farve, jeg normalt ville bruge, men jeg synes egentlig, den var OK til min hudfarve.

Du ser her 3 lag uden toplak, 2 lag ville også fint kunne gå, men mine gamle rillede negle ser bedst ud med 3 lag.

Is Island a color for you?
Tomorrow I show the rest of this collection!
Hvad synes du om Island (altså lakken, ikke landet ;)?

Inspired by nature - Artsy Wednesday

This week’s theme in Artsy Wednesday is inspired by nature. Ha, I bet you think – oh nooooesss – more flowers, but this IS a flower free post!
Originally  wanted to do different kinds of trees, but after several days without sun it looked like it would break through, so I could take well lit photos. Therefore I took the easy path - and the sun did come out, 3 minutes or so just before I top coated :(

Denne uges tema i Artsy Wednesday er inspireret af natur. Ha, du tænker allerede – åhhh neeeej, flere blomster, men det ER en blomsterfri manicure!
Oprindeligt ville jeg have lavet forskellige slag træer, men efter flere dage uden sol, så det ud som om den ville bryde igenne, så jeg skyndte mig med tanke på velbelyste billeder. Derfor valgte jeg ens træer - og solen var fremme i ca. 3 minutter lige før jeg top coatede :(

 

 

The base color is Nubar Blue Hydrangea, and I sponged grass with Nubar Reclaim and sea with China Glaze Blue Years Eve + Frosty + OPI Alpine Snow, the clouds with the latter two. The rest I painted with acrylic colors and I top coated with Seche Vite.

If you can see someone waving to you on the island, it’s me – a pile of good books, fresh fruit and cold, clean water, a fishing rod in the sea for catching dinner ;)

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, Catrine Unnakednails, (not this week: Melanie Nail & Polish,) Jessica Beauty Gnome, We have an open space here, maybe for your and your blog?

Grundfarven er Nubar Blue Hydrangea, og jeg duppede græsset med Nubar Reclaim og havet med China Glaze Blue Years Eve + Frosty + OPI Alpine Snow, og de to sidste brugte jeg også til skyerne. Læste du dette på dansk eller engelsk. Resten malede jeg med akrylfarve og toplakken er Seche Vite. 

Hvis du kan se nogen vinke til dig fra øen, så er det mig, en stor stak gode bøger, frisk frugt, rent kildevand og en fiskestang til at fange aftensmaden med ;)
