Nails by Noir

Ni har inte sett det förut, men jag ska tala om en liten hemlis för er. Jag har en assistent!

Han är mitt ständiga sällskap och uppmuntran när jag swatchar och helst vill han vara med själv på korten. Har han en riktigt bra dag får han också hålla i flaskorna.

Han lyser också upp min tillvaro när jag ska gå igenom alla bilderna i datorn, för då är han med mig, trots att han gått och lagt sig för länge sedan...

Jag kan inte låta bli att visa er en glimt av när VI fotar nagellack. :-)

Today I will tell you all a secret...

I have an assistant while swatching! He always brings me joy and company, even later when I'm editing my (i.e our) photos and he's asleep upstairs.

Today it is the most wonderful fall weather in Örnsköldsvik. And I'm sitting indoors looking out on the sunlight, the beautiful colors of fall and trying to imagine the crisp air.

In fact I havn't been outdoors in weeks. For almost four weeks I have been cursed with the most awul cold imaginable. It just starts over and over. And to make things worse I had a knee surgery the very week I started to get sick. So here I am, limping around at home, sneezing, coughing and snooring. The most ironic thing is that all this time it has been the most beautiful fall weather. And I can only watch from behind the window.

So to get some acquaintance with the warm colors of fall I use my nail polishes instead. Today I will show you a nail polish necklace I made the other week, made in fall colors.


I got a request to make a necklace in red, yellow and orange with the names Johanna, Joakim and Peter. So I chose China Glaze Swing Baby, Zoya Tanzy and Kimmy and Kleancolor Metallic Yellow. I took the liberty to add some gold in the piece to make the colors a bit smoother in apperance. When the marbling was done I added a dragonfly and the names in to the piece.

So, do you like it? I'm always so nervous when I am to show and deliver a new piece. It's actually really terrifiyng to make something by hand and then show it to people.


Jag känner mig halvt döende nu efter fyra veckor med den värsta förkylningen någonsin kombinerat med min knäoperation för tre veckor sedan. Ironiskt nog har det varit underbart höstväder mest hela tiden under min ynkliga sjukperiod. Och idag är det ännu en dag då jag får sitta inne och beundra vädret från vardagsrummet.
Vad tycks?

Naahh, not at all. Still limping around here with my bad knee, combined with the worst cold ever. I'm really so tired of this!!

But to shape things up I picked this beauty out of my Helmer, the gorgeous China Glaze Foxy from last years fall collection Vintage Vixen. This nail polish has been collecting dust a little too long. It was really love at first sight when I saw this foxy lady at Nailtastic last year, but when I didn't try it directly last fall I wanted to wait until this year's fall. I think this shade would look a bit odd in the middle of spring...


This is just a perfect color for fall, a fantastic red with hints of orange and brown, really foxlike, so the name is very suitable for this one. As always when it comes to China Glaze I'm not overwhelmed about the formula though. I think it is a bit too liquid for my taste. Although removing the excess polish against the neck of the bootle it is still flooding over my nails after one stroke. I hate when this happens!! Thank god for remover pens!
