Ombre with "additions" - Artsy Wednesday!

I could have stopped here….

The theme this week of Artsy Wednesday is an ombre mani.

The truth is that I always found them to be a bit boring – but NOT any longer!

I chose to do a very shade/tone-coherent ombre within lighter blue colors going from light to darker, and I really think I achieved that…

Thumb-pinkie: Nubar Baby Blue, Nubar Blue Hydrangea, Nubar Faded jeans, China Glaze Bahamian Escape and Essie Lapis of Luxury

So, I could have stopped here – but didn’t (not much of a surprise for my regular readers ;) – should I have??

I went for a washed out look within the same color frame as the ombre, did it become too washed out...?

Spring green 2012 comparison - sammenligning

My second post today is just a quick comparison of 3 of the delicate, more or less pale spring green colors, I purchased so far. Left to right: Butter London Bossy Boots, Essie Navigate Her, DiorWaterlily, and the pinkie is Bossy Boots too.

Mit andet indlæg i dag er bare en hurtig sammenligning af de 3 sarte, mere eller mindre grønne forårsfarver, som jeg foreløbig har købt. Fra venstre mod højre: Butter London Bossy Boots, Essie Navigate Her, Dior Waterlily, og på lillefingeren også Bossy Boots.
