Prim and polished flowers and the moonbeams…

 

 

 

The base color is Seche Prim & Polished, a perfect lavender cream polish. Before painting the flowers with acrylic craft color I painted one side of the nail with A-England And the Moonbeams, a lovely gold shimmer. The top coat is Seche Vite.

I liked this one a lot...

Grundfarven er Seche Prim & Polished, en smuk lys syren lak. Før jeg malede blomsterne med akrylfarve melde jeg den ene seide af neglen med A-England And the Moonbeams, en smuk guld shimmer. Toplakken er Seche Vite.

Jeg var helt godt tilfreds med denne...

Graffiti inspired - Artsy Wednesday

 

 

Inspired by graffiti is the theme in Artsy Wednesday this week. I’ll show you something I saw on a German Autobahn (freeway) on the base of a bridge going over it in a long curve. I didn’t see it more than 2 seconds or so, but when we went back a week later I miraculously found it again, and this time maybe had 7 seconds to see it, and drew on a  piece of paper.  These angry triangles clearly are inspired by Angry Bird – but their faces were like this, and they had different colors. I chose China Glaze Icicle for the base and painted the triangles with acrylic paint and top coated with Seche Vite.
Check out some other graffiti inspired Artsy Wednesday mani's: 
Michelle - Lab Muffin,  Alanna - Pretty Purple Polish, Melanie - Nail & Polish, Jessica - Beauty Gnome,  Emily - An Accent Nail, Catrine - Unnakednails, Ameerah - Valiantly Varnished, 

Ugens tema i Artsy Wednesday er inpireret af graffiti. Jeg så disse forskelligt farvede sure trekanter tydeligvis inspireret af Angry Bird på en motorvejsbro i Tyskland, det var i en lang kurve, så jeg nåede kun at se det i et par sekunder i sydgående retning. Mirakuløst fik jeg øje på stedet igen, da vi rejste hjem en uge senere, og nu så jeg dem i måske 7 sekunder og lavede en skitse. Jeg valgte China Glaze Icicle som grundfarve, og malede som sædvanligt med akrylfarve og brugte Seche Vite som toplak!

Will there BE a giveaway winner....?

Dansk, se længere nede!
I was lead to believe that it was a piece of cake to get 500 Likes on Facebook.
It might be for a company, but not really for an unknown (or even known) artist.
Secondly a lot of people just click like somewhere random, and not where the red arrow is...
And furthermore the fact that this is called something different depending on where you live - adds to the confusion....

No matter what the button is called in your language - this red arrow om this screen shot shows you where to click to count on Micro Paintings by Maria - or simply click the Like button on the Facebook widget in the right side menu here on the blog...
OK back to the giveaway. Originally I had the bar set much higher, but since the number of likes is 185 right now - I lowered the bar considerably.
BUT I need your help to ensure a winner of a hopefully 4-paintings set - so join the giveaway click HERE and SHARE it on Facebook or wherever you want do - you can use the social buttons below each blog post...
We have 7 days left - I hope you can help me get 15 or even better 65 more likes...
Can we make it...?

Jeg blev fortalt at det var så let som ingenting at få 500 "Synes godt om" tilkendegivelser på facebook.
Det kan godt være det er tilfældet for et firma, men ikke for en ukendt (eller endda for en mere kendt) kunstner.
Endelig er der mange der ikke ved at man skal klikke der hvor den røde pil viser på billedet ovenstående, når man er inde på Micro Paintings by Maria og at den knap hedder noget forskelligt afhængigt af hvor i verden man bor, gør ikke sagen lettere - men det er også muligt at klikke "Like" på den facebook widget du ser lige til højre for dig her på bloggen...
OK, tilbage til det med Giveawyen. Kravet for at finde en vinder var oprindelig sat meget højere, men da antallet af "Synes godt om" tilkendegivelser er 185 lige nu, har jeg sænket kravet betydeligt.
MEN jeg har brug for din hjælp for at sikre at der kan blive valgt en vinder, så deltag i giveawayen, klik  HER og DEL giveawayen på facebook eller hvor du nu end kan, her på bloggen kan du bruge knapperne som iøvrigt står i slutningen af hver enkelt indlæg...
Vi har 7 dage tilbage - jeg håber du vil hjælpe mig med at få yderligere 15 eller endnu bedre 65 flere  "Synes godt om" tilkendegiivelser.
Tror du vi kan nå det...? 

Manhunting dasies

 

 

I painted my white daisies with acrylic craft color over China Glaze Manhunt – and it instantly became a favorite, so I hope you like it too. I top coated with Seche Vite.
Stay tuned for an update on the giveaway later today....

Jeg malede mine hvide margueritter med akrylfarve på China Glaze Manhunt, og det blev straks en favorit, så jeg håber du også synes om resultatet. Toplakken er Seche Vite.
Der kommer endnu et indlæg i dag, nemlig en update om giveawayen...

April Fool - aprilsnar

Bad news: The new Illamasqua coll. I showed yesterday - aeehmmm, if you go back, it now has been marked as an April Fool post ;)
I'm sorry If you were fooled - but I cannot promise it never will happen again ;)- only that will be on April 1, if it does...
Stay tuned for 2 posts more today - Manhunting daisies and an update on the giveaway - I have lowered the bar to ensure that there actually will be a winner, but I and the winner really need your help...

Dårlig nyt: Den nye Illamasqua kollektion, som jeg viste i går, var  desværre en aprilsnar, hvilket du også vil kunne se, hvis du går tilbage til indlægget igen ;)
Jeg er ked af, hvis du blev narret, men jeg kan desværre ikke love at noget tilsvarende ikke vil ske igen ;)  - kun at det i så fald blive en 1. april...

Der kommer to indlæg mere i dag, Manhunting daisies og en update på giveawayen - jeg har sænket kravene for forhåbentlig at kunne sikre, at der overhovedet bliver en vinder - så jeg og den forhåbentlig fremtidige vinder har virkelig brug for din hjælp... 

April Fools: Illamasqua Celebrating Spring coll. 2013

I am SO excited to be one of the first bloggers to show you the brand new Celebrating Spring collection from Illamasqua, ready for sale at the end of April - so Micro Painting Monday has to wait....
All are cream polishes with a beautiful shine and shown in 2 coats without top coat, the application is flawless as usual for Illamasqua.

First we have Hope, and if there ever were a spring green - this is it!!! I love, love, love it, it's such a Maria color!

Next we have Cornflower - it's such a pretty light cornflower blue, so bright and yet subtle...

Strawberry Soft Ice - now, that's a pretty pink, and it actually makes me think of a summer weakness of mine: strawberry soft ice LOL

Mint Sorbét - this is a dream-come-through pastel mint, so bright and clear/cold toned - isn't it just pretty???

Finally we have Lila - a pastel lilac, maybe not unique, but so bright and oh so pretty...

The entire collection makes me smile and look even more forward to spring. The only color I personally miss in this collection is a pastel yellow, but then again Illamasqua Blow already exists. I cannot decide which is my favorite, but it probably is Hope!
Thank you so much for letting me have these for review, I cannot wait to show them with nail art on!!
Are you as excited about these as I am...?
This link was added 7 hours after posting - to learn more please take a look HERE  ;)

This was added April 2:
Sadly this is an April Fool post - I really love those colors that I created myself in my photo editing program :)

If you haven't yet entered my GIVEAWAY - it's time to do so, only 10 days left....!
