On orange

 

 

I'm in total winter denial - so the flowers on my nails keep growing!
The base color is a layering of 1 coat of Essie Meet Me At Sunset, a dark, reddish orange and over it I applied 1 coat of Sinful Cloud 9, a shimmery citrus orange. I painted my one-stroke flowers with acrylic color, and top coated with Seche Vite. 
This is an old mani, I liked it when I wore it, now not so much - but here it is anyhow :)

Jeg fortrænger fuldstændigt, at det snart er vinter, blomsterne bliver ved med at gro på mine neegle.
Grundfarven er to lakker, først Essie Meet Me At Sunset, en mørk rødlig orange og over den lagde jeg et lag Sinful Cloud 9, en appelsinfarvet lak med shimmer. Jeg malede one-stroke blomsterne med akrylfarve, før jeg lagde toplak.
Det er en gammel mani, jeg kunne godt li' den, da jeg havde den på, men nu siger den mig ikke længere så meget. Men her er den alligevel :)

Small pastel yellow flowers on hot orange

 

 

The base color is L’Oreal Boozy Bruch, a warm orange that is much warmer toned on the nail than the bottle shows. It inspired me to do yellow flowers, and this is what I came up with. As usual I painted the flowers with acrylic color and top coated with Seche vite.

Grundfarven er L’Oreal Boozy Bruch, en varm orange, der er meget varmere I nuance på neglen end flasken viser. Den inspirerede mig til gule blomster, og her har du resultatet. Som sædvanlig malede jeg blomsterne med akrylfarve og top coatede med Seche Vite.

Gabrini Summer Edition 2012, swatches and review of 3 colors

Gabrini M104 Summer Edition

Gabrini M110 Summer Edition

Gabrini M113 Summer Edition

These three Turkish Gabrini polishes I got from a swap with my dear friend Zana on Nail crazy in Croatia!
They are from the Summer Edion that holds 20 polishes. I suppose they are neons, but not as "evident" neons - neither in color nor in finish. The green was a bit goopy, the purple pretty normal and the orange a little thinner. All of them dried pretty fast - so I had to work fast when i did nail art on all three colors - involving the two others each time - and in a few hours I'll show you the first of them...

Chilled orange abstract – Soul Sista Week

 

 

 

Essence 01 Chilled Orange is the base color, and I sponged partial areas with Essence 03 Lounge Chair Affair (both polishes are from the Soul Sista collection). They blend extremely well, not very noticeable, but definitely creating a nice effect – a simple difference in shade. I wanted to paint a bouquet of flowers and started painting thin stems hanging from the cuticles towards the tip – but then I thought that the color combination looked great, all it needed was some purple – so I ended up doing an abstract, and I was kind of happy about the colors and playfulness of the design…

Essence 01 Chilled Orange er grundfarven, og jeg duppede tilfældige dele med 03 Lounge Chair Affair (begge fra Soul Sista kollektionen). Jeg elsker den måde de flyder sammen, det er næsten ikke synligt, men alligevel er der en tydelig nuanceforskel. Derefter ville jeg male en buket blomster, der hang med hovedet nedad – så jeg startede med de tynde stilke. Men jeg synes det grønne klædte de andre farver så godt og tænkte at lidt lilla ville gøre de perfekt – så jeg endte med abstrakt nail art, og jeg kunne godt li’ letheden og farveglæden i resultatet…

Riveting dots - easy & quick mani

 

It's nice to have a garden hose around if the nails should burst into fire with this fiery color on them... ;)

China Glaze Riveting is the gorgeous, fiery orange base color in this super easy and quick nail art. I thought it would be interesting to paint flat/one-dimensional dots and stripes in acrylic color on Riveting, just like I initially did in THIS mani yesterday, and I kind of liked its awesome depth combined the flat look. Of course I top coated with Seche Vite.

China Glaze Riveting er den lækre, flammende orange grundfarve i denne supper hurtige og lette nail art. Jeg syntes det kunne være interessant at male flade/en-dimensionelle prikker og striber med akrylfarve på Riveting, lidt ligesom jeg først gjorde i GÅRSDAGENS mani, og jeg kunne godt lide dens dybde kombineret med det flade look. Til slut brugte jeg toplak, Seche Vite Top coat.

Swatch Saturday: China Glaze Riveting - glossy & matte

China Glaze Riveting from the Colors from the Capitol collection spring 2012, (The Hunger Games).
It's easy to apply, dries fast, and I show you this gorgeous color in2 coats, without a top coat, and without further ado, I'll let the photos speak for themselves...
Den er let at påføre, tørrer hurtigt, og jeg viser denne skønne farve i 2 lag, uden toplak, og uden yderligere bemærkninger vil jeg lade billederne tale for sig selv...

 

 

Not even a matte top coat (Essie Matte About You) can "kill" the fire inside. Isn't it amazing??
En mat toplak (Essie Matte About you) kan ikke engang slå ilden i den "ihjel". Er den ikke utrolig??
