Hello, holo owls

The origin for this design is a giveaway that Helena that runs Lacky Corner announced. She is generously celebrating her own birthday with a giveaway. Do check it out!

I wanted to participate and one way to do so was by submitting your own take on something she posted on her blog. I browsed through all posts labelled Nailart and found beautiful dotticures, marbles and plenty of stamping. I love all these techniques but finally decided to recreate some owls that were made last fall.


First I pulled out some cremes but then a holo caught my eye. Then there were holographic owls! First is a set of indoor photos and then comes my outdoor set.

I created these by first painting each nail in differently coloured holos. The blue is Color Club Over the Moon, the pink is Color Club Miss Bliss, the purple is Color Club Eternal Beauty and the green China Glaze L8R G8R. I taped off the part of the nail that I didn't want to colour. Then I mixed a little of each shade with silver holo Color Club Harp On It to get a paler tone for their bellies. Then dots of the original colour has been added on top. 

The eyes and beaks are dotted with gold China Glaze GR8 and almost black Color Club Beyond. 

Here are my outdoor shots. The details of the owls are somewhat lost but look at all that holographic goodness.



Polishes used: Color Club Over the Moon, Color Club Miss Bliss, Color Club Eternal Beauty, Color Club Beyond, Color Club Harp On It, China Glaze GR8 and (phew) finally China Glaze L8R G8R.


PÃ¥ svenska:
Grunden till denna design är en giveaway som Helena som driver Lacky Corner kör. Hon firar givmilt sin egen födelsedags med att ha en giveaway för sina läsare. Kolla in den!

Jag ville självklart delta och ett sätt att göra detta är att skicka in en egen tolkning pÃ¥ nÃ¥got som hon publicerat pÃ¥ sin blogg. Jag gick igenom alla inlägg med taggen Nailart och hittade vackra dotticures, marbles och massa stämpling. Jag älskar alla dessa tekniker men beslutade mig för att Ã¥terskapa nÃ¥gra ugglor som gjordes i höstas.

Först plockade jag fram ett par krämlack men sen fick jag syn pÃ¥ ett holo. SÃ¥ blev det holografiska ugglor! Jag skapade dessa genom att först mÃ¥la naglarna i olika holofärger. Min blÃ¥a är Color Club Over the Moon, rosa är Color Club Miss Bliss, lila är Color Club Eternal Beauty och gröna är China Glaze L8R G8R. Jag tejpade av den del av nageln som inte skulle mÃ¥las först. Sedan blandade jag lite av varje färg med Color Club Harp On It För att ljusa upp magarna pÃ¥ ugglorna. Prickar i originalfärgerna har sedan lagts pÃ¥. Ögon och näbbar är prickade med guldiga China Glaze GR8 och nästansvarta Color Club Beyond.
