Ruffian with a floral twist - Artsy Wednesday

 

 

Before I painted flowers - Før jeg malede blomster...

This weeks challenge is to create a ruffian manicure, where you over another color recreate the cuticle line with a different color.

The pale yellow is Sation (Miss pro nails) Lemon Pearl, a gorgeous pale yellow with a lovely shimmer. Over it I used Aqua Daisy Succulent, a dusty mint with purple glitter, but it seems a bit more blue in this context.

Ruffian manis isn’t really me, but I kind of liked this – BUT would it be me if I didn’t add some nail art – nooo, so here you are a little flowers to go…
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, Melanie - Nail & Polish, Jessica - Beauty Gnome, Kamen - Kaka Beauty Blog 

Denne uges opgave i Artsy Wednesday er en ruffian manicure, hvor du først lægger en lak og derefter lægger en anden lak ovenpå, hvor du genskaber linjen op mod neglebåndet.

Den pastelgule er Sation (Miss pro nails) Lemon Pearl, en lækker pastelgul med et let glimmer. Over den brugte jeg Aqua Daisy Succulent, en støvet mint med lilla glitter, men den virker mere blå i denne sammenhæng.

Ruffian manicurer er ikke rigtigt mig, men jeg kunne nu godt li’ denne – dog ville det vel næppe være ”mig”, hvis der ikke sneg sig lidt blomster eller nail art ind – nej vel, så her har du resultatet ;)

Flowers for a beauty school dropout...

 

Yesterday I showed you swatches of my first indie polishes from Aqua Daisy, see them HERE.

For this mani I chose Aqua Daisy Beauty School Dropout, and painted pastel blue and white flowers on it (acrylic colors). The top coat is Seche Vite.

I still feel this pink is a bit too pale for my skin tone.
SEE more flowers in the top menu, and tomorrow I promise you a lovely strong color!

I går viste jeg swatches af mine første indie lakker fra Aqua Daisy, se dem HER.

Til denne mani valgte jeg Aqua Daisy Beauty School Dropout, og jeg malede blomster i pastel blå og hvid akrylfarve på den, før jeg lagde toplak – Seche Vite.

Jeg synes den er en smule for lyst for min hudfarve, så den er kommet på til salg listen.
Jeg lover mere knald på farverne i morgen - og du kan også tage et kig i top menuen, hvor du finder mange andre blomster!

Aqua Daisy - my first indie polishes

I have been resisting the urge to buy indie polishes - but then one day I stumbled across a look-alike to my biggest lemming "Connect the Dots" by Lynnderella...
So I am now the proud owner of 3 polishes from Aqua Daisy - Etsy shop
Jeg har været standhaftig og modstået fristelsen - men en dag snublede jeg over en look-alike til Lynnderella Connect the dots...
Så nu er jeg den stolte ejer af mine tre første indie polishes fra Aqua Daisy - Etsy shop 

Beauty School Dropout is a lovely pale baby pink. It needs 2-3 coats and dries quickly with a somewhat rough surface, it is shown without a top coat. It has holographic micro glitter and hexagons plus black and white. It doesn't show it's sparkle very willingly, more in glimpses...

Succulet is a mint, leaning towards turquoise with 2 sizes of purple glitter. It need two coats, and dries pretty smooth and matte, but a top coat brings extra life to it. Here shown as is.

 

Me Too - well as far as I can tell (not being the proud owner of Connect the Dots, sob, sob) it's not a dupe, it lacks the square black pieces of glitter and could have more bar glitter, but it's still very pretty...
It is shown over a 3 different colors, It dries surprisingly smooth and shiny, but I would definitely top coat it with Seche Vite.
And I guess I still have a lemming called Connect the Dots...
