Kukat maalasin &lt;i&gt;one stroke&lt;/i&gt; -tekniikalla ja ääriviivat tein mustalla akryylimaalilla. Ääriviivojen ja lehtien maalaamiseen käytin ohutta sivellintä, jota olen itse vähän saksilla tuunannut ohuemmaksi. Lopuksi lisäsin lehtiin hopeaglitter-koristelulakkaa, jonka olisi voinut kyllä jättää laittamattakin. Mutta tykkäsin lopputuloksesta älyttömästi! Ja menihän näihin aikaakin ihan kiitettävästi; pelkkiin koristeluihin taisi kulua reilut kaksi tuntia...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w1PYPXuvbXY/TyrImdWoaiI/AAAAAAAABis/xy0ixtopVIw/s1600/02_02_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w1PYPXuvbXY/TyrImdWoaiI/AAAAAAAABis/xy0ixtopVIw/s320/02_02_2.jpg" width="270" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Here's yet another flowery mani. :) The base consists of a gradient made with a sponge and three different nail polishes, starting with the darkest. The flowers are painted using one stroke technique, and I painted the outlines with a thin brush that I've modified myself using scissors. Finally I added some silver glitter liner on the leaves, which, in retrospect, was a bit redundant. It took me over two hours just to paint the flowers and leaves!

Joulunakin tein useat kynnet, joissa oli joulunpunaisella liukuväripohjalla valkeita lumihiutaleleimoja; mulla ei vain ollut kameraa mukana, enkä saanut niistä kuvia. Mutta tässä tulee nyt sitten tällainen versio. Valitettavasti unohdin ottaa kuvan materiaaleista, enkä enää muista mitä lakkoja näihin käytin. Leimat ovat kuitenkin laatasta GCOCL K04.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jnjwYo913Uk/TyV8AqZ7v4I/AAAAAAAABiU/CNilQdH2eJI/s1600/01_29_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="312" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jnjwYo913Uk/TyV8AqZ7v4I/AAAAAAAABiU/CNilQdH2eJI/s400/01_29_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;If I have a signature mani, it's like this: several similar stamps on a gradient base. I've made many variations of this same design, which is easy to execute but looks very nice. On Christmas, for instance, I made several manis with a red gradient base and white snowflake stamps, but I didn't have my camera with me and couldn't photograph them. Anyway, here's another variation. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the materials, and now I can't remember which nail polishes I used for the gradient, but the stamps are from the image plate&amp;nbsp;GCOCL K04.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C8dQ8BgVwJo/TyV8BS-Oj-I/AAAAAAAABic/ZSZU6-jmWB4/s1600/01_29_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C8dQ8BgVwJo/TyV8BS-Oj-I/AAAAAAAABic/ZSZU6-jmWB4/s320/01_29_2.jpg" width="259" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-7186627081940958179?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/7186627081940958179/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2012/01/signature-mani.html#comment-form' title='11 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/7186627081940958179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/7186627081940958179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2012/01/signature-mani.html' title='Signature mani'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jnjwYo913Uk/TyV8AqZ7v4I/AAAAAAAABiU/CNilQdH2eJI/s72-c/01_29_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-3137491664007750928</id><published>2012-01-17T14:51:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T15:30:51.076+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Käsinmaalaus - Painting by hand'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='akryyliväri - acrylic paint'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='one stroke'/><title type='text'>Joululahjoja - Christmas pressies</title><content type='html'>Joulukuun saamattomuus kynsirintamalla johtui tästä projektista: maalasin sukulaisille lahjaksi kynttilöitä. Nuo on ihan Havin peruspöytäkynttilöitä, jotka maalasin akryyliväreillä. Tekniikkana toimi&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;one stroke&lt;/i&gt;. Tuo joulutähtimalli on kopsattu netistä löytyneestä kuvasta, ja ruusukuvioonkin otin aika pitkälti vaikutteita netistä, mutta köynnöskuvion suunnittelin itse. Joulutähtikynttilät päällystin ennen maalausta glitterjauheella, mutta se ei valitettavasti näy kuvassa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maalaaminen oli tosi kivaa, ja olen tuloksiin erittäin tyytyväinen.&lt;br /&gt;Ja selvisin joululahjoista halvalla! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kAaYyXbka_o/TxVsc1jAUkI/AAAAAAAABgg/YRumXwmWmuc/s1600/01_17_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="286" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kAaYyXbka_o/TxVsc1jAUkI/AAAAAAAABgg/YRumXwmWmuc/s400/01_17_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uaB73TRi-l8/TxVseHZ9zvI/AAAAAAAABgo/IhuzBlzUAOk/s1600/01_17_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="277" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uaB73TRi-l8/TxVseHZ9zvI/AAAAAAAABgo/IhuzBlzUAOk/s400/01_17_2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6-s48wQVYTI/TxVsfQh3pQI/AAAAAAAABgw/KyggnNtnp-k/s1600/01_17_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="287" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6-s48wQVYTI/TxVsfQh3pQI/AAAAAAAABgw/KyggnNtnp-k/s400/01_17_3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I didn't get much done on the nail front in December, and the reason is this: I wanted to give some hand-painted Christmas presents for my relatives. These are ordinary candles that you can get from any shop, and I painted them using acrylic colours and one stroke technique.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I more or less copied the poinsettia design from a pic I saw online, and also the rose design was heavily inspired by other designs, but the one with the leaves is my own invention. The poinsettia candles are covered with glitter powder, but unfortunately it doesn't show in the picture.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Painting these was a lot of fun, and I was very pleased with the outcome.

Now I just need a new background image, so the appearance of this blog may undergo some changes in the near future.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;I haven't really felt like doing manicures recently, and therefore I haven't had any material to post in my blog.

I'll be back next year. :)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-5950484415295931745?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/5950484415295931745/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/12/tilapaivitys-status-update.html#comment-form' title='13 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5950484415295931745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5950484415295931745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/12/tilapaivitys-status-update.html' title='Tilapäivitys - Status Update'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5wUX2Z2LLtE/TuclV9J8lsI/AAAAAAAABf8/PF9wk7534ww/s72-c/12_13.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-272857152428699741</id><published>2011-12-03T13:02:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-12-03T13:09:33.052+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><title type='text'>Syksyn lehtiä - Autumn Leaves</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;Talvi ei meinaa näköjään tulla tänä vuonna ollenkaan.&lt;br /&gt;Sen kunniaksi tein vielä syksyisen manikyyrin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;It seems like winter is not coming at all this year.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;To celebrate that, I made an autumn inspired mani.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Kukat tein &lt;i&gt;one stroke&lt;/i&gt; -tekniikalla, ja lisäsin lehtiin viivoja sekä keskustaan pisteitä ja kultaglitteriä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tätä ennen tein kynnet, joissa kaikki kukat oli samassa kohdassa kynnen sivussa kuten pikkurillissä, ja tykkäsin niistä ehkä enemmän.

The base consists of a white gradient and glitter polish, and the flowers are made using the one stroke technique. I added a few lines on the petals and some dots and gold glitter in the middle.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Before this, I had a similar mani where all the flowers were placed in the same spot, like in the pinkie here, and I think I liked that one better.

Tai tiesinhän minä, että niitä voi tehdä, mutta en ollut ollenkaan varma saako niitä ikinä irti. :) Tilasin siis eBaysta akryylipaketin, joka sisälsi 3 jauhetta, nesteen, pienen lasiastian ja 5 sivellintä. Paketti oli halpa (n. 9 e) ja luultavasti huonolaatuinen, mutta ajattelin kuitenkin että se soveltuu tällaiseen ensikokeiluun. Kaksi jauheista oli niin läpikuultavia, ettei niitä voinut käyttää koristeiden tekoon, mutta onneksi valkoinen jauhe pelitti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En löytänyt netistä kunnon ohjeita, eli ihan itekseni piti sitten alkaa räpeltämään ja opettelemaan, miten homma oikein toimii.&lt;br /&gt;Ja voin kertoa, ettei se ihan niin helposti käynyt kuin YouTube-videoissa! :D Tässä on kuitenkin mun ensimmäinen yritelmä, ja olen siihen suht tyytyväinen (vaikka lehdistä tulikin vähän muodottomat möykyt). Ja onneksi koristelut lähtivät irti ihan yhtä hyvin (tai huonosti) kuin muutkin koristeet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0fI91vG3Uc4/TrpKq6i6gDI/AAAAAAAABao/MVsEHvRF4DU/s1600/11_09_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="312" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0fI91vG3Uc4/TrpKq6i6gDI/AAAAAAAABao/MVsEHvRF4DU/s400/11_09_2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prosessi toimii siis jotenkuten näin: sivellin kastetaan nesteeseen (joka muuten haisee ihan JÄRKYTTÄVÄN pahalle ja aiheuttaa päänsärkyä. Ovet ja ikkunat auki!) ja sitten siveltimen kärki kastetaan jauheeseen, jolloin siihen muodostuu pallo. Pallo laitetaan kynnelle ja muotoillaan siveltimellä haluttuun muotoon. Jokainen kukan terälehti tehdään siis erikseen, ja ne kuivuvat hyvin nopeasti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nyt te kaikki rakennekynsiammattilaiset varmaan luette tätä ja kauhistelette, että eihän tuo tiedä ollenkaan, mitä se on tekemässä! No olette täysin oikeassa! :D Eli neuvoja ja vinkkejä otetaan mielellään vastaan kommenttiosiossa&amp;nbsp;(koskien esim. itse tekoprosessia, materiaaleja tai hyviä ohjesivustoja).&amp;nbsp;Voitte kuitenkin sen verran huokaista helpotuksesta, että aion tyytyä suljaamaan pelkästään näiden 3D-koristeiden kanssa ja jätän akryylikynsien teon suosiolla ammattilaisille. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sKPEAlI8EWQ/TrpKr76OFQI/AAAAAAAABaw/g7WLEB2AyuQ/s1600/11_09_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sKPEAlI8EWQ/TrpKr76OFQI/AAAAAAAABaw/g7WLEB2AyuQ/s320/11_09_3.jpg" width="277" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;I wanted to try if acrylic 3D-decorations could be made on natural nails, or rather, could they ever be removed! So I ordered a package from eBay that contained powders, liquid, and brushes. It was cheap and probably of bad quality, but I thought it would be good enough for a beginner like me. I couldn't find any good instructions online, so I just started to experiment and see myself how it is done. And let me tell you, it wasn't as easy as it appears on YouTube videos! :D However, this mani is my first try and I'm quite happy with it. And luckily the decorations came off relatively easily.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is roughly how it's done: you dip the brush into the (really smelly) liquid and then you dip the tip of the brush into the powder. A ball is formed. You place the ball on your nail and sculpt it as you wish. Each petal is made separately, and they dry really quickly.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now all you nail professionals must think that I've no idea what I'm doing! Well, you're absolutely right! :D So if you are willing to share any tips, instructions, or websites that you think could be useful, I will appreciate it very much! But you can relax, I only plan to fumble with these 3D-decorations and will happily leave acrylic nail extensions to professionals. :)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Kuviot on A-sarjan 36. laatasta, jonka myös tilasin&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.chez-delaney.com/"&gt;Chez Delaney&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;-nettikaupasta. Laatta oli yllätyksekseni paljon isompi kuin minun aikaisemmat leimauslaatat, mutta ainakin kuviot riittävät nyt koko kynnelle, eikä tarvi leimata kahta kertaa. Kaiverrukset on hieman syvempiä kuin Konadin laatoissa, mutta kuten edellisessä postauksessa totesin, XL-leimasin selviää niistä moitteetta (kunhan vähän vielä harjoittelen). Koristelin kynsiä lisäksi pilkuilla, strasseilla ja pyöreillä glitterkoristeilla.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GmUWcoReHos/TqZ6jSNGFRI/AAAAAAAABY8/eM8Qur0arhI/s1600/10_25_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GmUWcoReHos/TqZ6jSNGFRI/AAAAAAAABY8/eM8Qur0arhI/s400/10_25_3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;So here's the first mani made with my new XL-stamper.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;The designs are from the 36th plate of the A-series, which I also ordered from &lt;a href="http://www.chez-delaney.com/"&gt;Chez Delaney&lt;/a&gt;. I was surprised to find out that the plate was a lot bigger than my previous plates, but at least the designs are now big enough to cover the whole nail.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;The engravings are a bit deeper than in the Konad plates, but as mentioned in my previous post, the XL-stamper has no problems whatsoever with that (at least after I practise some more).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;I decorated the stamps with dots, rhinestones, and round glitter flakes.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-05UGSI7Kem8/TqZ6ibBnmXI/AAAAAAAABY4/tuIktR0sox0/s1600/10_25_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="273" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-05UGSI7Kem8/TqZ6ibBnmXI/AAAAAAAABY4/tuIktR0sox0/s400/10_25_2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-5896114590424248479?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/5896114590424248479/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/10/koko-kynnen-kuviot-full-nail-designs.html#comment-form' title='19 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5896114590424248479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5896114590424248479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/10/koko-kynnen-kuviot-full-nail-designs.html' title='Koko kynnen kuviot - Full nail designs'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eWipfQkmqvg/TqZ6hHnMNoI/AAAAAAAABYw/sMGec91dwJU/s72-c/10_25_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-7671160041169439497</id><published>2011-10-19T14:22:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T14:22:46.941+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yleistä höpinää - general chit-chat'/><title type='text'>XL-autuutta - XL Bliss</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;Tästä tulee piiitkä postaus, mutta koettakaa kestää. Mulla on siis tosi kuperat kynnet, joihin ei voi leimata koko kynnen kuvioita Konadin leimasimella. Tai en ainakaan osaa. Olenkin siis haaveillut XL-leimasimesta jo kauan, mutta en ole raskinut tilata sitä &lt;a href="http://www.magnonails.de/shop/"&gt;Mango Nailsin&lt;/a&gt; 30 euron postikulujen vuoksi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is going to be a looong post, but try to bear with me. :) My nails are very curvy, and therefore the Konad stamper is next to useless in stamping full nail images on my nails. I have been wanting an XL stamper for a long time, but I haven't been able to afford it due to &lt;a href="http://www.magnonails.de/shop/"&gt;Mango Nails&lt;/a&gt;' 30-euro postage fees.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GzTnYfl5e34/Tp2B2vEZ0mI/AAAAAAAABXs/xrvts7z6vsA/s1600/10_18_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="157" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GzTnYfl5e34/Tp2B2vEZ0mI/AAAAAAAABXs/xrvts7z6vsA/s400/10_18_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yritin tehdä itse isompaa leimasinta silikonista (jota saa rautakaupoista), mutta lukuisista hyvistä yrityksistä huolimatta se ei onnistunut. Joten kuten onnistuneen tuloksen sain aikaiseksi käyttämällä silikonikorvatulppia. Kyllä, luit oikein, korvatulppia. (Luin jostain netistä, että joku oli leimannut jopa liivatteella!)&amp;nbsp;Leimaustulos oli suht hyvä, mutta leimasimessa oli ongelmansa. Silikoni oli niin pehmeää, että se piti muovailla uusiksi joka leiman jälkeen, ja lisäksi lakka tarttui silikoniin. Siksi en käyttänyt tätä keksintöä kovin monta kertaa. Tässä kuitenkin yhdet kynnet, jotka on toteutettu korvatulpilla:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I tried to make my own stamper out of silicone sealant, but despite a number of almost successful tries, it didn't work out in the end. &amp;nbsp;A somewhat decent result was achieved using silicone ear plugs. (Yes, ear plugs! I even read somewhere that someone had stamped with gelatine!) The stamps turned out relatively good, but the stamper wasn't without problems. The silicone was so soft that it had to be reshaped after each stamp, and the nail polish got stuck in the silicone. So I didn't use it many times. However, here is one mani made with ear plugs:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jV54oLWEYVM/Tp6opiIk1rI/AAAAAAAABYU/yriSQFm9p1Q/s1600/10_18_6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="226" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jV54oLWEYVM/Tp6opiIk1rI/AAAAAAAABYU/yriSQFm9p1Q/s320/10_18_6.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VLHC9hf_7tQ/Tp6pQ9nef6I/AAAAAAAABYk/sIzEJao17IE/s1600/10_18_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="186" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VLHC9hf_7tQ/Tp6pQ9nef6I/AAAAAAAABYk/sIzEJao17IE/s400/10_18_3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitten muutama viikko takaperin huomasin, että myös &lt;a href="http://www.chez-delaney.com/"&gt;Chez Delaney&lt;/a&gt; myy XL-leimasimia (vain 5 euron postikuluilla), mutta ne olivat valitettavasti loppuneet varastosta. Viime viikolla niitä tuli sitten &lt;u&gt;vihdoinkin&lt;/u&gt; lisää, ja sain tilattua itselleni yhden. Ja se on ihan mahtava! Leimauspään materiaali on paljon pehmeämpää kuin Konadin leimasimessa ja kokokin on tietysti isompi, joten leimaus onnistuu helposti vaikka kynnet olisivat kuinka käyrät.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Then, a few weeks ago, I discovered that also &lt;a href="http://www.chez-delaney.com/"&gt;Chez Delaney&lt;/a&gt; sells XL stampers (postage fees being only 5 euros), but they were out of stock. Then &lt;u&gt;finally&lt;/u&gt; last week I was able to order one for myself. And it rocks! The material is a lot softer than in the Konad's version, and of course the size is also bigger, so the stamps turn out good no matter how curvy the nails are.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Ja6ZHYtJOQ/Tp2B3Ov7urI/AAAAAAAABX0/nUy13-y9OaI/s1600/10_18_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="161" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Ja6ZHYtJOQ/Tp2B3Ov7urI/AAAAAAAABX0/nUy13-y9OaI/s400/10_18_2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Huomasin lisäksi, että XL-leimasin selviytyy ongelmitta myös eBaysta tilaamieni fauxnad-laattojen leimoista. Niiden kaiverrukset ovat niin syvät, että Konadin leimasin tekee leimoista pelkkää suttua, sillä lakkaa tulee niin paksu kerros. Pystyn siis nyt ottamaan käyttöön jo lähes hylkäämäni laatat! Myös ohuemmalla kuviolla XL-leimasin tuotti paremman tuloksen kuin Konadin leimasin. Kuvassa näette vertailua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I also discovered that the XL stamper has no problems stamping images, whose engravings are way too deep for the Konad stamper. The polish layer becomes so thick, that the Konad stamper messes it up, but as you can see from the pic, the images stamped with the XL stamper are very sharp and a lot darker. So I can now use the fauxnad plates that I almost abandoned! Even the more delicate designs turn out better with the XL stamper.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D61ulN-PvoI/Tp2B6YCD2kI/AAAAAAAABYM/AvDzPL35kw0/s1600/10_18_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D61ulN-PvoI/Tp2B6YCD2kI/AAAAAAAABYM/AvDzPL35kw0/s400/10_18_5.jpg" width="306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XL-leimasimen huonoja puolia on se, että tahmaiseen materiaaliin näyttää tarttuvan kaikki karvat ja roskat ja ryönät, mutta vesihanan alla huuhtelemalla ne saa suht helposti pois. Lisäksi leimasinpäät lähtevät helposti irti, mutta nämä ovat pikkuvikoja loistavan leimaustuloksen rinnalla! Nyt olen onnellinen tyttö!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;The downsides of the XL stamper include the fact that the material is very squishy and sticky, and therefore all the dust and tiny hairs stick to it. But they are relatively easy to remove just by rinsing the stamper with water. In addition, the rubber heads come loose quite easily, but these are just minor things compared to the fabulous results! Now I'm one happy girl!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PVkghWJyN9U/Tp2B5f76Y0I/AAAAAAAABYE/BuXOnm47Bvg/s1600/10_18_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="241" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PVkghWJyN9U/Tp2B5f76Y0I/AAAAAAAABYE/BuXOnm47Bvg/s400/10_18_4.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-7671160041169439497?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/7671160041169439497/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/10/xl-autuutta-xl-bliss.html#comment-form' title='24 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/7671160041169439497'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/7671160041169439497'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/10/xl-autuutta-xl-bliss.html' title='XL-autuutta - XL Bliss'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GzTnYfl5e34/Tp2B2vEZ0mI/AAAAAAAABXs/xrvts7z6vsA/s72-c/10_18_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-1054272496598075760</id><published>2011-10-12T11:47:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2011-10-12T11:49:20.253+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='glitter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ranskalainen manikyyri - French manicure'/><title type='text'>Viuhkoja - Fans</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DJbpnU4Kw4o/TpVScX-po8I/AAAAAAAABXc/GQj4JnOSSP0/s1600/10_12_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="302" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DJbpnU4Kw4o/TpVScX-po8I/AAAAAAAABXc/GQj4JnOSSP0/s400/10_12_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tällä kertaa ei mielikuvitus oikein laukannut, joten tein uuden version&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/02/perhosia.html"&gt;vanhoista kynsistä&lt;/a&gt;.

I've discovered an easy way to handle the situation, and I decided to share that with you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;I use paper muffin cups - or what ever they're called - and I've cut the other side a bit lower, which makes it easier to pick up the rhinestones with a dotting tool or a rhinestone picker. You can pour the rhinestones from the container into the cup, and afterwards it's super easy to pour them back into the container because the side of the cup is pleated.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you know any other practical tips, please feel free to share them in the comment section!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FVt3KGWe3CY/ToQ2YUNYk2I/AAAAAAAABXQ/_uz1jnx9SAc/s1600/09_29_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FVt3KGWe3CY/ToQ2YUNYk2I/AAAAAAAABXQ/_uz1jnx9SAc/s320/09_29_3.jpg" width="257" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-5098585574200546594?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/5098585574200546594/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/09/vuoden-vinkki-tip-of-year.html#comment-form' title='20 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5098585574200546594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5098585574200546594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/09/vuoden-vinkki-tip-of-year.html' title='Vuoden vinkki - Tip of the Year'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9arQgJeLxoY/ToQ4Wa9tKhI/AAAAAAAABXU/IjLc_ar-fc8/s72-c/09_29_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-1547815381420182076</id><published>2011-09-28T16:55:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-28T16:56:00.112+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='akryyliväri - acrylic paint'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='helmet - pearls'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='one stroke'/><title type='text'>Helmiä - Pearls</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bh0TBTinVm8/ToMkaS0C2vI/AAAAAAAABW8/oOlgy1k3iYg/s1600/28_09_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="306" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bh0TBTinVm8/ToMkaS0C2vI/AAAAAAAABW8/oOlgy1k3iYg/s400/28_09_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mulla on aika isot kasat kaikenlaisia strasseja, helmenpuolikkaita, yms., mutta käytän niitä aika harvoin. Ajattelin nyt sitten tunkea niitä kynsiin heti enemmälti kerralla. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tein ensin tuon raidan akryyliväreillä, one stroke -tekniikalla. Sitten lisäsin toiselle puolelle ohuen raidan hopeakimalle-koristelulakalla, ja lopuksi kiinnitin helmenpuolikkaat.

Nyt sitten päätin kokeilla niitä uudelleen, mutta tulos ei kyllä ollut kovin häävi.

Nyt sitten päätin ostaa ihan kunnon akryylimaalisetin ja pirskatti vieköön, en kyllä kadu sitä yhtään! :) Harjoittelin monien käyttämää "one stroke" -tekniikkaa ensin paperille ja koristelinpa äitille yhden kynttilänkin. Tässä on sitten ensimmänen kynsiin toteutettu malli, ja tykkään siitä ihan hullun lailla! Osallistuin tällä &lt;a href="http://www.sannataranailart.fi/"&gt;Sanna Tara Nail Art &amp;amp; Beauty Studion&lt;/a&gt; kilpailuunkin. (Osallistumisaikaa on vielä pari päivää jäljellä.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rSi3ZBFOCoc/Tm2p9Hg0Y0I/AAAAAAAABWg/gDINFX3DPEo/s1600/09_12_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="302" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rSi3ZBFOCoc/Tm2p9Hg0Y0I/AAAAAAAABWg/gDINFX3DPEo/s400/09_12_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One stroke -menetelmän ideana on siis se, että samaan siveltimeen otetaan kahta eri väristä maalia. Sillä tavalla on tosi helppo maalata esim. kukkia tai lehtiä. Tutoriaaleja löytyy vaikka kuinka paljon YouTubesta, kun kirjoittaa hakusanaksi "one stroke". Donna Dewberryn videoita kannattaa ainakin vilkaista; hän tuntuu olevan ihan guru näissä hommissa. Semmoinen Ameriikan Kylli-täti. :) &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyi-Y2ATjoA"&gt;Tässä&lt;/a&gt; linkki yhteen tutoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I1zUxJv6GM8/Tm2p-MEsYfI/AAAAAAAABWk/ruTDj1UsTPI/s1600/09_12_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I1zUxJv6GM8/Tm2p-MEsYfI/AAAAAAAABWk/ruTDj1UsTPI/s320/09_12_2.jpg" width="257" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;So far I've painted my nails using mostly nail polishes, since I've only had black acrylic paint. But now I decided to buy a full set of acrylics, and boy, am I glad I did! :) I know that many nail artists use "one stroke" technique, so I practiced it first on paper and I even decorated a candle for my mum. This is the first nail design made with acrylics, and I think it turned out really beautiful.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I love it!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NvNrBjAk95o/Tm2p--Vah2I/AAAAAAAABWo/q_7D82tDO0U/s1600/09_12_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="305" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NvNrBjAk95o/Tm2p--Vah2I/AAAAAAAABWo/q_7D82tDO0U/s400/09_12_3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The idea behind one stroke technique is that you load a brush with two different colours and then start painting flowers, leaves, etc. There are plenty of tutorials in YouTube, just use "one stroke" as a search word. Donna Dewberry's videos are especially worth watching, she seems to be the guru in this field. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyi-Y2ATjoA"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is one of her tutorials.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rpWxMImMmzg/Tm2p_kKuclI/AAAAAAAABWs/snEEIlYPqUE/s1600/09_12_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="264" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rpWxMImMmzg/Tm2p_kKuclI/AAAAAAAABWs/snEEIlYPqUE/s320/09_12_4.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-4082327459811933720?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/4082327459811933720/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/09/akryylimaalausta-painting-with-acrylics.html#comment-form' title='35 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/4082327459811933720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/4082327459811933720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/09/akryylimaalausta-painting-with-acrylics.html' title='Akryylimaalausta - Painting with acrylics'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rSi3ZBFOCoc/Tm2p9Hg0Y0I/AAAAAAAABWg/gDINFX3DPEo/s72-c/09_12_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>35</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-1588722675646536595</id><published>2011-09-07T13:20:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-07T13:20:19.575+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Käsinmaalaus - Painting by hand'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pilkut - dots'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dotting tool'/><title type='text'>Geometriaa - Geometry</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8S3oZjX1whE/TmdDuS6NuoI/AAAAAAAABVE/nR6gW1JpUwE/s1600/09_07_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8S3oZjX1whE/TmdDuS6NuoI/AAAAAAAABVE/nR6gW1JpUwE/s400/09_07_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Viimeaikaisiin kukkiin kyllästyneenä tein pitkästä aikaa hieman graafisemman manikyyrin.

Väri oli tosi hieno, ja muutenkin lakka tuntui ihan laadukkaalta ainakin naurettavan halpaan hintaansa nähden (noin 2 e). Tässä ekat kynnet, joihin käytin sitä lakkaa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mVN4bRzuBsk/Tl9gjJpB4MI/AAAAAAAABU8/iDOvgGP5Z40/s1600/09_01_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mVN4bRzuBsk/Tl9gjJpB4MI/AAAAAAAABU8/iDOvgGP5Z40/s200/09_01_3.jpg" width="195" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tein liukuvärin kolmella eri lakalla, minkä päälle maalasin kukkia. Tykkäsin näistä tosi paljon muuten, mutta tein sen virheen että reunustin kukat läpikuultavalla lakalla, sillä mulla ei ollut muuta tummanruskeaa sävyä. Ääriviivoihin ei näköjään kannata käyttää läpikuultavaa lakkaa, sillä tulos on sotkuinen ja ruma.&lt;br /&gt;Noh, opinpahan taas jotain. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sEFuogdSwuc/Tl9gi_qDi-I/AAAAAAAABU4/z1xRSEmSZ2Y/s1600/09_01_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="317" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sEFuogdSwuc/Tl9gi_qDi-I/AAAAAAAABU4/z1xRSEmSZ2Y/s400/09_01_2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I found these new Flormar polishes last summer, and I bought a dark purple one with glitter. I really liked the colour, and the quality seemed okay as well, at least considering the ridiculously cheap price of two euros. This is the first mani I made using that polish.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;First I made a gradient with three different polishes and then I painted some flowers on top. I really liked this mani, except that I made the mistake of outlining the flowers with a translucent nail polish, since I had no other shades of dark brown. It seems that you shouldn't use sheer nail polishes in the outlines, since it looks messy and ugly. Well, it's just another thing I learned not to do next time. :)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--dBoKxBI448/Tl9gj_sNzzI/AAAAAAAABVA/5X_ZuTHnaWk/s1600/09_01_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="195" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--dBoKxBI448/Tl9gj_sNzzI/AAAAAAAABVA/5X_ZuTHnaWk/s400/09_01_4.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-3799688545861533758?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/3799688545861533758/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/09/kukkia-flowers.html#comment-form' title='23 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/3799688545861533758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/3799688545861533758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/09/kukkia-flowers.html' title='Kukkia - Flowers'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jdSeqd1XeIE/Tl9ghnYw5mI/AAAAAAAABU0/qBTw80YdPJw/s72-c/09_01_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-9051305920549105981</id><published>2011-08-29T15:49:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-29T15:49:10.837+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yleistä höpinää - general chit-chat'/><title type='text'>Victory! :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mydreamnails.blogspot.com/"&gt;My Dream Nails&lt;/a&gt; -blogin lakkauskilpailu päättyi, ja minä olin onnekas voittaja Kesä-kategoriassa! Kiitoksia kamalasti kaikille äänestäneille, ja onnea myös muille voittajille ja sijoittuneille, hienoja olivat kaikki kynnet. Ja suurin kiitos kuuluu tietysti kisan järjestäjälle, Meetelle!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nyt vain odottelemaan palkintoa, joka olikin ihan mahtava kaikissa kategorioissa. Meette hankki palkinnot omilla rahoillaan, mikä oli kyllä todella anteliasta! Kivaa, että minäkin saan nyt sitten vähän laatumerkkiä käyttööni. Omistan nimittäin tällä hetkellä vain kaksi China Glaze -lakkaa, sillä yleensä on varaa vain halpismerkkeihin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Olen tähän mennessä osallistunut kahteen lakkauskilpailuun, ja pärjännyt hyvin molemmissa, eli kannattaisi varmaan osallistua useamminkin... :D Jos siis järjestätte tai bongaatte netistä mielenkiintoisia kilpailuja, niin mulle saa mielellään tiedottaa asiasta, joko sähköpostilla (pienikynsiblogi(at)gmail.com) tai jättämällä kommentin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mQNO4F-LEn8/TltZWaypKHI/AAAAAAAABUs/c4sX9PuEG-Q/s1600/08_29_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="244" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mQNO4F-LEn8/TltZWaypKHI/AAAAAAAABUs/c4sX9PuEG-Q/s320/08_29_1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The nail art competition in &lt;a href="http://mydreamnails.blogspot.com/"&gt;My Dream Nails&lt;/a&gt; blog ended, and I was the lucky winner in the Summer category!

And the biggest thanks goes of course to the organizer, Meette!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The prizes were amazing in all categories, and Meette was really generous to have bought them herself! It's nice that I'll get some quality polishes for a change, since I can usually afford only cheap brands.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;So far I've entered two nail art competitions and done well in both, so maybe I should participate more often! :D&amp;nbsp; So if you organize or spot an interesting competition, I'll be very  glad if you let me know!&amp;nbsp; You can send me an e-mail  (pienikynsiblogi(at)gmail.com) or leave a comment in one of my posts.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Palkinto / The Prize:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m_jx1qmZkSE/TltZW5lpsZI/AAAAAAAABUw/EFduqKW_Ouk/s1600/08_29_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="246" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m_jx1qmZkSE/TltZW5lpsZI/AAAAAAAABUw/EFduqKW_Ouk/s320/08_29_2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Picture by Meette&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-9051305920549105981?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/9051305920549105981/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/08/victory.html#comment-form' title='12 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/9051305920549105981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/9051305920549105981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/08/victory.html' title='Victory! :)'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mQNO4F-LEn8/TltZWaypKHI/AAAAAAAABUs/c4sX9PuEG-Q/s72-c/08_29_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-5211063869618935017</id><published>2011-08-24T21:45:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:31.187+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fimo'/><title type='text'>Fimo-kukkia - Fimo flowers</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AxeKSlGdzuI/TlU_mGA-17I/AAAAAAAABUc/aep1oXDY1k8/s1600/08_24_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AxeKSlGdzuI/TlU_mGA-17I/AAAAAAAABUc/aep1oXDY1k8/s400/08_24_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tällä kertaa tällainen yksinkertainen ja kesäinen manikyyri.&lt;br /&gt;Alla harmaa liukuväri ja päällä leimat, joita vähän parantelin pensselillä, sekä Fimo-kukkia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-og4hB28-efQ/TlVHqIA4wzI/AAAAAAAABUo/ca8jlGBFxXE/s1600/08_24_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-og4hB28-efQ/TlVHqIA4wzI/AAAAAAAABUo/ca8jlGBFxXE/s320/08_24_2.jpg" width="272" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Here's a simple and summery mani.

Käytin levittämiseen sivellintä vanhasta lakkapullosta. Levittyvyys oli  hyvä ja normilakaksi peittävyyskin oli jees. Ongelmaksi muodostui  kuitenkin se, että jo päivän, parin kuluttua lakka alkoi lohkeilla isoina paloina  pois, mitä ei muiden lakkojen kanssa yleensä tapahdu. Mutta jos ei halua pitkäaikaista  manikyyriä, niin hyvinhän näitä voi käyttää.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EqlYmnkZMvk/TkuekeIe8jI/AAAAAAAABUA/7SgW6WpNlTQ/s1600/08_17_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EqlYmnkZMvk/TkuekeIe8jI/AAAAAAAABUA/7SgW6WpNlTQ/s320/08_17_2.jpg" width="260" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I've got these cheap Nail Star nail art liners from eBay, that are  not very good as liners because they are not opaque enough  and all the brushes have come loose and fallen into the polish. :D&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;So I  decided to see if they can be used as regular nail polish.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I applied the polish with a brush from an old polish bottle. The polish was  easy to apply and it was opaque enough for a normal nail polish. But  after a day or two, it started to chip off in big pieces, which  usually never happens with other nail polishes. But if you don't need your mani to last for long,  Nail Star is completely usable as regular nail polish.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w8NPr9_XM8c/TkuekylKt3I/AAAAAAAABUE/WsHznpidLm4/s1600/08_17_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w8NPr9_XM8c/TkuekylKt3I/AAAAAAAABUE/WsHznpidLm4/s320/08_17_3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-1582932583315650913?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/1582932583315650913/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/08/kuninkaallista-keltaista-regal-yellow.html#comment-form' title='13 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/1582932583315650913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/1582932583315650913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/08/kuninkaallista-keltaista-regal-yellow.html' title='Kuninkaallista keltaista - Regal Yellow'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--NQR9t1bLek/TkuejdFR0SI/AAAAAAAABT8/UJSpAKOAUMI/s72-c/08_17_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-8478975604840164577</id><published>2011-08-13T15:53:00.005+03:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T12:02:04.422+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mikrohelmet - micro beads'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strassit - rhinestones'/><title type='text'>Lakkauskilpailu - Nail art competition</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u6sNV7PFrOM/TkZxi6v-pQI/AAAAAAAABTk/wbM_AX2c9VU/s1600/08_13_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="305" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u6sNV7PFrOM/TkZxi6v-pQI/AAAAAAAABTk/wbM_AX2c9VU/s400/08_13_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mydreamnails.blogspot.com/"&gt;My Dream Nails&lt;/a&gt; -blogissa  järjestettiin lakkauskilpailu, jossa oli kolme eri kategoriaa:  käsinmaalaus, kesä ja ranskisvariaatio.

Ja huomatkaa, että myös äänestäneiden kesken arvotaan hieno  tuotepalkinto, joka sisältää mm. kynsilakkoja ja koristelutuotteita!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_MvM9Pwxt68/TkZxj_hOmTI/AAAAAAAABTo/2-Mkvb9IRvM/s1600/08_13_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_MvM9Pwxt68/TkZxj_hOmTI/AAAAAAAABTo/2-Mkvb9IRvM/s320/08_13_2.jpg" width="253" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://mydreamnails.blogspot.com/"&gt;My Dream Nails&lt;/a&gt;  blog organized a nail art competition in three different categories,  Hand-painting, Summer and French manicure.

If you think that this mani deserves to win,  go and cast your vote! The voting is done by sending an e-mail to the blogger.

Koko komeuden päälle vedin pari kerrosta vaaleanpunaista glitterlakkaa ja rajasin vielä vihreän osan hopeaglitterin värisellä koristelulakalla (joka ei ole kovin hyvälaatuista, ja siksi viivoista tuli hieman epämääräisiä). Lopuksi leimasin perhoset kahdella eri värillä ja lisäsin keskelle strassit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hyvää heinäkuuta kaikille ja muistakaa nauttia auringosta! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YhVby2Bn9lI/ThA1OoGbc5I/AAAAAAAABG8/EGBDrzq0hDY/s1600/07_03_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YhVby2Bn9lI/ThA1OoGbc5I/AAAAAAAABG8/EGBDrzq0hDY/s320/07_03_2.jpg" width="269" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I made this mani a couple of months ago, but I haven't published it before since I'm not completely satisfied with it. But now I have nothing better to offer, since it's hot outside and I can think of better ways to spend my time than sit indoors and do my nails. :)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;First I applied white nail polish and painted a green stripe on the nail. Then I added two coats of pink glitter polish on the whole nail, and outlined the green area with silver glitter nail art polish (which is of bad quality and that's why the lines are a bit blurry). Finally I stamped the butterflies using two different colours and added some rhinestones.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Have a nice July, everyone, and remember to enjoy the sun (especially in Finland, as it is a rare commodity)!! :) &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Tämä ei nyt ole mikään kovin originaali design; halusin vain kokeilla, miten fimot toimivat. Aluksi oli hankalaa saada siivuista tarpeeksi ohuita, mutta kyllä se alkoi onnistua kun vähän aikaa harjoitteli. Kiinnitin siivut päällyslakalla, ja ne pysyivät tosi hyvin, eli liimaa ei tarvittu. Lopuksi levitin kerroksen Seche Vite -päällyslakkaa, joka antoi kynsille mukavan geelimäisen pinnan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wJjjF4e5s00/Tfh1rA4zT-I/AAAAAAAABGY/mL8iwGvtsYs/s1600/06_15_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="252" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wJjjF4e5s00/Tfh1rA4zT-I/AAAAAAAABGY/mL8iwGvtsYs/s320/06_15_1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I recently ordered my first Fimo canes from eBay. This design is not very original; I just wanted to see how the Fimo canes work. At first it was difficult to cut the slices sufficiently thin, but then I got the hang of it. I attached the slices using top coat and they stuck really well, so there was no need to use glue. Finally I sealed the slices with Seche Vite top coat, which gave the mani a nice, gel-like surface.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7T0Uxn0O0VI/Tfhw46gUW3I/AAAAAAAABGU/GGcbDoXQa5g/s1600/06_15_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="221" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7T0Uxn0O0VI/Tfhw46gUW3I/AAAAAAAABGU/GGcbDoXQa5g/s320/06_15_2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-olCFB4bZa-8/Tfhw4GpVsPI/AAAAAAAABGQ/RgxIRyx2SAU/s1600/06_15_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-2917805754635579375?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/2917805754635579375/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/06/fimo-nail-art.html#comment-form' title='35 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2917805754635579375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2917805754635579375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/06/fimo-nail-art.html' title='Fimo Nail Art'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wJjjF4e5s00/Tfh1rA4zT-I/AAAAAAAABGY/mL8iwGvtsYs/s72-c/06_15_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>35</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-5532455008302215156</id><published>2011-05-28T12:58:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-05-28T12:58:04.408+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Käsinmaalaus - Painting by hand'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ranskalainen manikyyri - French manicure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nail art -lakat  -  nail art polish'/><title type='text'>Lady Marmalade</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-umUT9I5wa-Q/TeDFWIVCf6I/AAAAAAAABEM/2mHMf-4aHgo/s1600/05_28_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="279" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-umUT9I5wa-Q/TeDFWIVCf6I/AAAAAAAABEM/2mHMf-4aHgo/s320/05_28_1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tällä kertaa tein tällaiset burleskihenkiset kynnet.

Miinusta tuli siitä, että pieniä kuvia on tosi vähän; suurin osa on koko kynnen kuvioita tai tippikuvioita.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minun kynnet ovat nimittäin liian kuperat, että niihin voisi leimata koko kynnen kuvioita onnistuneesti, ainakaan Konadin leimasimella. &lt;a href="http://www.magnonails.de/shop/Nail-Stamping/Stamping-Zubehoer/XL-Nail-Art-Stempel.html"&gt;Mango Nails&lt;/a&gt; myy suurempaa ja pehmeämpää XL-stamperia, mutta postikulut Suomeen ovat päätähuimaavat 30,90 euroa. Niinpä olen alkanut miettiä, voisiko leimasimen tehdä itse, jotta saisin täyden hyödyn uusista kuviolaatoista. Muutaman lähes onnistuneen kokeilun olen jo tehnytkin, mutta kirjoitan asiasta enemmän sitten, kun tuote on loppuunsa hiottu. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sillä välin tarjoan teille yksinkertaisen ranskalaisen manikyyrin, joka on koristeltu käyttämällä vain osaa koko kynnen leimasta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RrTU68ownqs/TdYbCVfegdI/AAAAAAAAAts/vz-giOkPjCM/s1600/IMG_8114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="248" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RrTU68ownqs/TdYbCVfegdI/AAAAAAAAAts/vz-giOkPjCM/s320/IMG_8114.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I had to order the new Bundle Monster stamping plates from &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Nailart-Stamping-Manicure-Accessories/dp/B004XJNQXW/ref=sr_1_2?s=beauty&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1305877797&amp;amp;sr=1-2"&gt;Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt; as soon as they became available after Easter. The set consists of 25 plates, it is cheap, it arrives quickly, and the plates work perfectly! As a bonus, the full-nail designs are bigger and the bottom of the plates is coated, which makes them easier to handle. I just wish there were more smaller images, almost all are full-nail or French tip designs.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I cannot use full-nail designs on my own nails because my nails are too curvy, at least not with the Konad stamper. I know that &lt;a href="http://www.magnonails.de/shop/Nail-Stamping/Stamping-Zubehoer/XL-Nail-Art-Stempel.html"&gt;Mango Nails&lt;/a&gt; sells a larger and softer XL-stamper, but the shipping to Finland costs 30,90 euros. Ridiculous! So I've been thinking if it would be possible to make my own stamper, and I've had a couple of almost succesful tries. I'll write about it more once the product is perfected! ;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;In the meanwhile, here's a French mani decorated with a partial full-nail design.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ejvcOt96PAM/TdYbC5Q0vPI/AAAAAAAAAtw/Z678eyy4EIo/s1600/IMG_8115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="316" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ejvcOt96PAM/TdYbC5Q0vPI/AAAAAAAAAtw/Z678eyy4EIo/s320/IMG_8115.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-7583825764156778256?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/7583825764156778256/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/05/kesa-on-tulossa-summer-is-coming.html#comment-form' title='12 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/7583825764156778256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/7583825764156778256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/05/kesa-on-tulossa-summer-is-coming.html' title='Leimausta - Stamping'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RrTU68ownqs/TdYbCVfegdI/AAAAAAAAAts/vz-giOkPjCM/s72-c/IMG_8114.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-1498560061440187709</id><published>2011-05-17T16:11:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:31.193+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liukuvärjäys - gradient'/><title type='text'>Hyvä, Suomi!</title><content type='html'>Onnea Leijonille ja koko Suomelle&lt;br /&gt;jääkiekon maailmanmestaruuden johdosta!

Onhan sillä ehkä hieman helpompi maalata kuin kynsilakalla, koska se on juoksevampaa eikä jähmety niin nopeasti (mutta kuivuu kynnellä silti äkkiä). Ja varsinkin dotting toolilla tehdyistä pisteistä tuli siistimpiä kuin kynsilakkaa käytettäessä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PTwDYwyZObQ/TcfhWNCupNI/AAAAAAAAAtI/QHSeTmdGMyM/s1600/09_05_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PTwDYwyZObQ/TcfhWNCupNI/AAAAAAAAAtI/QHSeTmdGMyM/s200/09_05_3.jpg" width="156" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tällaiset kynnet sain siis aikaan. Niissä on ehkä havaittavissa hieman vaikutteita &lt;a href="http://www.nail-art.fr/"&gt;Tartofraises-blogin&lt;/a&gt; upeista malleista! Tein ensin sienellä valkoisen liukuvärin, jonka päälle laitoin kaksi kerrosta Sinful Colours -glitterlakkaa. Maalasin pinkin osan pienellä, litteällä siveltimellä ja mustat viivat pienellä, pyöreällä siveltimellä. Glitterlakan päälle olisi pitänyt lisätä ensin kerros päällyslakkaa, niin mustista viivoista ei olisi tullut niin röpelöisiä. No, ensi kerrallapa osaan taas paremmin. Lopuksi lisäsin hopeaglitterin väristä koristelulakkaa ja strasseja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CDKpX03XUwA/TcfhUytZJUI/AAAAAAAAAtE/TOLiUW3g24M/s1600/09_05_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="249" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CDKpX03XUwA/TcfhUytZJUI/AAAAAAAAAtE/TOLiUW3g24M/s320/09_05_2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I've always painted my nails using only nail polishes, but now I decided to give acrylic paint a go. And indeed it was easier to paint with, especially dots looked a lot neater.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;So this is the mani I came up with. It may have been slightly influenced by &lt;a href="http://www.nail-art.fr/"&gt;Tartofraises&lt;/a&gt;' gorgeous designs! First I made a white gradient and added two coats of glitter polish. Then I painted the images using small brushes. I should have added a coat of clear polish on top of the glitter polish, so the black lines would have been smoother, but I'll know better next time. Finally I added some silver glitter nail art polish and some rhinestones.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qyDwM9tmEN8/TcfhXBlg6VI/AAAAAAAAAtM/1P3eW98_6Ks/s1600/09_05_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="172" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qyDwM9tmEN8/TcfhXBlg6VI/AAAAAAAAAtM/1P3eW98_6Ks/s320/09_05_4.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-5835526246728655488?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/5835526246728655488/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/05/kiemuroita-swirls.html#comment-form' title='18 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5835526246728655488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5835526246728655488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/05/kiemuroita-swirls.html' title='Kiemuroita - Swirls'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2VbBt_acq-Q/TcfhTzWnm1I/AAAAAAAAAtA/hjUHtlfcZyk/s72-c/09_05_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-430687145553042386</id><published>2011-04-25T11:49:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:31.195+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='accent nail'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pilkut - dots'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dotting tool'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ranskalainen manikyyri - French manicure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vesimarmorointi - water marbling'/><title type='text'>Pääsiäispilkkuja - Easter dots</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ONT-LLMLyzg/TbUw7PZ_oWI/AAAAAAAAAsw/XlO3KGL8coA/s1600/04_25_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ONT-LLMLyzg/TbUw7PZ_oWI/AAAAAAAAAsw/XlO3KGL8coA/s320/04_25_1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pääsiäiskynnet koostuivat valkoisista tipeistä ja eri kokoisilla dotting tooleilla tehdyistä sisäkkäisistä pilkuista.

I think the mani looks really fresh and fun. I also tried to use nail polishes on Easter eggs: I decorated my egg using water marbling, Konad and a couple of rhinestones. It's probably not the most beautiful Easter egg in the world, but the techniques worked well.

Liukuväristä tuli hieman epätasainen, koska vaaleanpunainen lakka oli niin peittävää, mutta onneksi se  peittyi noilla helmillä. Minusta hieman läpikuultavat lakat sopivat  paremmin liukuvärjäykseen, niillä saa tasaisemman liukuman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6fIlZtGEYp4/TavBwqftsFI/AAAAAAAAAsc/Ee37uhH9GlU/s1600/04_18_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6fIlZtGEYp4/TavBwqftsFI/AAAAAAAAAsc/Ee37uhH9GlU/s320/04_18_2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Without the bling&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I wanted a mani with as much stuff on it as possible,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;so I came up with this Hawaiian sunset theme. I made&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;the gradient using a sponge and three different nail polishes. Then&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; I stamped some leaves and attached some glass beads, glitter hexagons and rhinestones using top coat.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;The gradient became a bit uneven because the baby pink polish was&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;so opaque. I've found that slightly translucent polishes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;are better for sponging, as they produce a more even gradient.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0JuTWSL2OWs/TavBxZmpYBI/AAAAAAAAAsg/IqNOnoblHw4/s1600/04_18_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="234" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0JuTWSL2OWs/TavBxZmpYBI/AAAAAAAAAsg/IqNOnoblHw4/s320/04_18_3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;+ Leimaukseen / &lt;i&gt;for stamping&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Rimmel 60 Seconds (591)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-2480396694175033958?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/2480396694175033958/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/04/hawaiian-sunset.html#comment-form' title='25 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2480396694175033958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2480396694175033958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/04/hawaiian-sunset.html' title='Hawaiian Sunset'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SgP33aDOyJA/TavBvlhl34I/AAAAAAAAAsY/HG8zR6Gzipk/s72-c/04_18_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>25</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-1327134099044705381</id><published>2011-04-08T13:23:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-04-08T16:22:34.514+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='accent nail'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='water decals'/><title type='text'>Käärmeennahkaa - Snakeskin</title><content type='html'>Tilasin muutama kuukausi sitten jostain nettikaupasta tällaisia käärmekuvioisia vedellä toimivia siirtokuvia, joiden nimeä en vieläkään tiedä suomeksi. Vesitarroja vai pelkästään siirtokuvia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sain testattua niitä vasta nyt enkä kyllä oikein ihastunut. Hinkasin päällyslakkaa ehkä liian voimakkaasti, koska kuviosta tuli kuluneen näköinen, ja päällyslakka rypisti tarraa samaan tapaan kuin folioitakin. Lisäksi pohjavärin valinta epäonnistui. En pitänyt näitä kynsiä kovin kauaa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iodYtK2JMbQ/TZ7i8Ba810I/AAAAAAAAAsQ/JIW1xJUT3SA/s1600/04_08_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="264" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iodYtK2JMbQ/TZ7i8Ba810I/AAAAAAAAAsQ/JIW1xJUT3SA/s320/04_08_1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;A few months ago I ordered these snakeskin water decals from some  webshop, can't remember which one. Finally I managed to try them  out, but I wasn't thrilled about the outcome. I probably applied the top coat in too many strokes, since the images started to look worn out and crinkly. In addition, my choice for the base colour wasn't very good. I didn't wear this mani for long.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9y6V6NpTOGg/TZ7i811IoRI/AAAAAAAAAsU/3WDInVgfX-k/s1600/04_08_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Yleensä kaikki mallit (valkoista perusranskista lukuun ottamatta) jäävät ainutkertaisiksi. Aikaisemmat versiot olen tehny eri väreillä, mutta tein ne silloin, kun kamera oli remontissa. Eli nyt siis ensimmäinen kuvaksi asti päätynyt versio, jonka tein koristelulakoilla ja Rimmelin 60 Seconds -lakalla&lt;br /&gt;(819 Green with Envy). Helppo tehdä, eikä kuivumista tarvi kauan odotella.

Usually I wear a design only once (except the basic white Frenchie). The previous versions of this design were executed with different colours, but I made those when I had no camera, so this is the first version that I managed to photograph. I painted the stripes using nail art polishes and Rimmel's&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;60 Seconds (819 Green with Envy). This design is easy to do&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;and it doesn't take long to dry, which is nice.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-2313955112213773859?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/2313955112213773859/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/03/raitaranskis-stripey-frenchie.html#comment-form' title='32 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2313955112213773859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2313955112213773859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/03/raitaranskis-stripey-frenchie.html' title='Raitaranskis - A Stripey Frenchie'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Nor6BwPTct4/TXT2O8e3GXI/AAAAAAAAAps/lnWa14KN-A4/s72-c/03_07.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>32</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-167265404701803864</id><published>2011-03-01T23:06:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-01T23:07:21.928+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Käsinmaalaus - Painting by hand'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dotting tool'/><title type='text'>Glamour</title><content type='html'>.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bk65eCXRdSU/TW1a56sb_YI/AAAAAAAAApc/By-Bwqu6ITE/s1600/03_01_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="232" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bk65eCXRdSU/TW1a56sb_YI/AAAAAAAAApc/By-Bwqu6ITE/s320/03_01_1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tässä joululoman aikaan tehdyt kynnet, jotka ei ehkä näin kevääseen sovi, mutta postataan nyt paremman puutteessa. :) Kuviot on maalailtu siveltimellä ja dotting toolilla.

I liked the outcome, but I think I could have done a better job with the flowers. The camera enhanced the flakes in the Depend nail polish, so I photoshopped the thumb pic a little bit so that you could better see what the nails looked like in real life.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-szBvMyIX8dk/TW1a7QWmPLI/AAAAAAAAApk/WeqPqEbKaNE/s1600/03_01_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-szBvMyIX8dk/TW1a7QWmPLI/AAAAAAAAApk/WeqPqEbKaNE/s320/03_01_3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-167265404701803864?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/167265404701803864/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/03/glamour.html#comment-form' title='14 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/167265404701803864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/167265404701803864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/03/glamour.html' title='Glamour'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bk65eCXRdSU/TW1a56sb_YI/AAAAAAAAApc/By-Bwqu6ITE/s72-c/03_01_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-1734450023874747368</id><published>2011-02-22T00:28:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:31.204+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='accent nail'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='raidat - stripes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='askartelutarra - peel-off'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dotting tool'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ranskalainen manikyyri - French manicure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kynsilakat - nail polish'/><title type='text'>Karkkiraitoja - Candy Stripes</title><content type='html'>.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--Cdnid2P0xY/TWLjedAhEwI/AAAAAAAAApI/wNZ6KR9UtyM/s1600/02_22_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="232" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--Cdnid2P0xY/TWLjedAhEwI/AAAAAAAAApI/wNZ6KR9UtyM/s320/02_22_1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tässä on yksi manikyyri, jonka sain aikaan pari viikkoa sitten ideapulasta huolimatta. Tein tippiin karkkiraitoja siveltimellä, valumat tein dotting toolilla ja lopuksi kiinnitin askartelutarraa päälle. Tulos ois ollu varmasti parempi, jos värien välillä olisi ollut isompi kontrasti. Olisi pitäny valita vaikkapa pinkki ja valkoinen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nimettömän kynnen leimaukset on tehty mun ensimmäisellä China Glaze -lakalla. Tilasin niitä kaks eri väriä, koska oon jo pitkään halunnu hopean- ja kullanväriset leimauslakat. Mulla on Konadin omat erikoislakat kyseisissä väreissä, mutta niillähän ei tee yhtään mitään. Leimat näkyvät juuri ja juuri mustalla pohjalla, muiden värien päällä ei käytännössä ollenkaan. Kumma juttu, miten kaksi väriä voi olla niin huonoja, vaikka muissa Konadin lakoissa on ollu pigmenttiä ihan riittävästi. No, onneksi nämä China Glazet tuntuvat toimivan leimauksessa tosi hyvin, vaikka tässä mallissa eri väriset raidat kuultavatkin leiman läpi. Parempi leimailla ilmeisesti vain yksiväriselle pohjalle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Näyttää muuten menneen 500 lukijan raja rikki!&lt;br /&gt;Kiitos kamalasti kaikille, että jaksatte seurata blogia ja kommentoida postauksia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QNr54VLL5Sw/TWLjxnXRHuI/AAAAAAAAApQ/TuyHsntWeDU/s1600/02_22_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="179" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QNr54VLL5Sw/TWLjxnXRHuI/AAAAAAAAApQ/TuyHsntWeDU/s320/02_22_2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iXk4TMvpvP4/TWLj-0fi_KI/AAAAAAAAApY/wlJgD5Y9Fjg/s1600/02_22_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="194" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iXk4TMvpvP4/TWLj-0fi_KI/AAAAAAAAApY/wlJgD5Y9Fjg/s320/02_22_3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Here's one mani that I managed to do a couple of weeks ago, despite the lack of inspiration. I painted the candy stripes with&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;a brush and the dripping paint was made using a dotting tool.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I think that the result would have been better if the contrast between the two colours had been bigger. I should have chosen pink and white, for instance.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I used my very first China Glaze for stamping the ring finger.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I have Konad special polished in gold and silver, but they are completely useless, so I ordered two China Glazes mainly&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;for stamping purposes. It's strange how two Konad polishes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;can have such poor quality when compared to the other colours.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;But luckily China Glaze seems to work really well, even though&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;in this mani the different coloured stripes can be seen through&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;the stamped image.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;By the way, I now have over 500 readers!

Oon vaan tuijotellu kynsilakkoja, mutta mitään toteuttamisen arvosta ideaa ei ole putkahtanut päähän. Oon ehkä liikaa keskittyny välineiden organisointiin, joten inspiraation etsiminen on jääny vähemmälle. Mulla on nimittäin nyt kunnon kynsipiste työpöydän päässä uusine lakkahyllyineen ja tarvikelaatikostoineen. Itse olen asiasta ihan innoissani, mutta tutuille se voi olla huono uutinen, sillä en enää säilytä kamoja työkalupakissa, enkä siis voi tehdä kotikäyntejä (ainakaan niin helposti). :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4b21t7sdir0/TVwOcxVRczI/AAAAAAAAAo8/cbQWchmcMio/s1600/02_16_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4b21t7sdir0/TVwOcxVRczI/AAAAAAAAAo8/cbQWchmcMio/s320/02_16_1.jpg" width="268" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isä teki mulle tuon kynsilakkahyllyn, mutta en tietenkään suunnitellut mittoja tarpeeksi hyvin ja se tuli heti täyteen! No, eipä kasva lakkakokoelma liian suureksi, kun pitää käyttää entisiä pois ennen kuin ostaa uusia. Tuo laatikosto oli ihan susiruma toimistolaatikosto (kun parempaakaan ei löytynyt), jonka päällystin itse lahjapaperilla. Näin jälkikäteen ajateltuna olis tietysti voinu valita vähän hillitymmän värisen paperin. :D&lt;br /&gt;No, sen voi päällystää uudelleen sitten kun jaksaa. Lisäksi päällystin samaisella paperilla pari kuppia ja pahvilaatikon muita tilpehöörejä varten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kyllä nyt kelpaa laitella kynsiä! Vielä kun sais niitä ideoita! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tsQwlXH-mLQ/TVwOd1ynmVI/AAAAAAAAApA/elxEqFyPdYc/s1600/02_16_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tsQwlXH-mLQ/TVwOd1ynmVI/AAAAAAAAApA/elxEqFyPdYc/s320/02_16_2.jpg" width="254" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hello dear readers!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I haven't updated my blog for a while because I've run out of ideas! I mean totally! The reason for that may be that I've been so preoccupied with organising all my nail stuff that I haven't had time to seek inspiration. I now have a brand new nail polish rack and a set of drawers at the end of my desk. I'm totally excited about that, but my friends may not be, since I don't keep all my stuff in a tool box anymore and therefore I can't go to my friends' places to do their nails. :)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;My dad made the nail polish rack for me, but I didn't plan the measurements well enough, since I had no idea that my polishes took up that much room! :) Oh well, it prevents my collection from getting too big. I have to use up old polishes before buying new ones. The set of drawers was meant for office use and it was ugly as hell, so I covered it with gift wrap. In retrospect, I could have chosen the colour a bit more carefully. :) I also wrapped some cups and a box in the same paper for my brushes, nail polish removers and other stuff.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now I have a nice place to do my manicures in!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I just wish I had some ideas! :D&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hIW4LyGQ0O0/TVwOfbLJGPI/AAAAAAAAApE/wgWPL6OBtkA/s1600/02_16_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hIW4LyGQ0O0/TVwOfbLJGPI/AAAAAAAAApE/wgWPL6OBtkA/s320/02_16_3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-7837236590014929172?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/7837236590014929172/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/02/uusi-sailytysjarjestelma-new-storage.html#comment-form' title='23 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/7837236590014929172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/7837236590014929172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/02/uusi-sailytysjarjestelma-new-storage.html' title='Uusi säilytysjärjestelmä - New storage solution'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4b21t7sdir0/TVwOcxVRczI/AAAAAAAAAo8/cbQWchmcMio/s72-c/02_16_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-5997492574207091816</id><published>2011-01-27T14:41:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-27T14:41:40.655+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dotting tool'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liukuvärjäys - gradient'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kynsitarrat - decals'/><title type='text'>Harmaa liukuväri - Grey gradient</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TUFlhQNf5JI/AAAAAAAAAos/vdtUskTQQWM/s1600/01_27_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TUFlhQNf5JI/AAAAAAAAAos/vdtUskTQQWM/s320/01_27_1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En ollu pitkään aikaan tehny harmaasävyistä manikyyriä, joten nyt teki mieli sellaista.

En ole kokeillut muita pikakuivattajia kuin Trindiä, ja siitä on &lt;a href="http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/09/ruttoiset-karkkikynnet.html"&gt;huonoja kokemuksia&lt;/a&gt;, se sai kynsilakan kuplimaan. Nyt kuitenkin tein tilauksen&lt;br /&gt;Yves Rocherilta (tilaan sieltä aina kun ilmaislahjat ovat tarpeeksi hyviä :D) ja tilasin samalla heidän pikakuivattajansa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Päätin suorittaa kokeen siitä, mikä kuivatuskeino on paras. Lakkasin neljään sormeen paksun kerroksen lakkaa. Yhden kynnen annoin kuivua itsestään, yhden laitoin kylmään veteen, yhteen laitoin tipan pikakuivattajaa ja yhtä puhalsin hiustenkuivaimella (tähän hommaan on olemassa tietysti myös ihan omia puhaltimia). Minuutin välein törkkäsin kynsiä veitsellä, ja katsoin kuinka suuri jälki lakkaan jäi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ja tulos oli seuraavanlainen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ehdottoman ykkössijan sai &lt;b&gt;puhallin&lt;/b&gt;. Kynsi oli lähes kuiva viiden minuutin jälkeen.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Toiseksi paras vaihtoehto oli &lt;b&gt;pikakuivattaja&lt;/b&gt;. Kynsilakka kuivui kuitenkin vain pikkuriikkisen nopeammin kuin siinä kynnessä, joka kuivui itsestään &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kolmanneksi tuli siis &lt;b&gt;itsestään&lt;/b&gt; kuivunut kynsi.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Neljännelle ja huonoimmalle sijalle jäi &lt;b&gt;kylmä vesi&lt;/b&gt;. Lakka pysyi ihan pehmeänä koko 5 minuutin ajan, eikä kuivunut juuri ollenkaan.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Pikakuivattajissa on tietysti eroja. Olisi&amp;nbsp; kiva kuulla, jos joku omistaa useamman ja on vertaillut niitä keskenään. Laittakaa kommentteja tulemaan!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TThniYzbg0I/AAAAAAAAAoo/NcMO5qqigyE/s1600/01_20.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TThniYzbg0I/AAAAAAAAAoo/NcMO5qqigyE/s320/01_20.JPG" width="218" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Usually, I just let nail polish dry all by itself. I've only tried one quick-dry polish (by Trind), and it didn't work at all. It made the nail polish go all bubbly. Now I ordered a quick-dry fluid from Yves Rocher, and decided to conduct an experiment on different drying methods.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I applied a thick coat of nail polish on four nails. I let one nail dry by itself, dipped the second nail into cold water, put a drop of quick-dry fluid on the third nail, and used a blowdryer on the final nail. Every minute, I poked the nail polish with a knife and looked at the marks. The results were as follows:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Definite number one was the&lt;b&gt; blowdryer&lt;/b&gt;. The nail polish was almost completely dry after five minutes. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Second place went to the&lt;b&gt; quick-dry fluid&lt;/b&gt;. However, it was only slightly better than nothing at all. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;On third place was the nail that dried &lt;b&gt;by itself&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;The worst method was the &lt;b&gt;cold water&lt;/b&gt;. The polish remained completely soft throughout the five-minute period.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;i&gt;Obviously there are differences between different quick-dry fluids.

Joten päätin kokeilla itsekin, ja nehän toimivat oikein hyvin. Leikkasin arkista sopivan palasen, laitoin sen kynnelle ja kastelin sitä vedellä. Parinkymmenen sekunnin kuluttua paperi lähti helposti pois, ja tatska jäi&amp;nbsp; kynteen. Päällyslakka päälle ja homma on sillä selvä. Kynsikaupoissa myytävät vesitarrat (tai mitä ihmettä &lt;i&gt;water decals&lt;/i&gt; on suomeksi?) toimivat kai samalla tavalla, mutta niitä en ole vielä ehtinyt kokeilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tulos oli kyllä oikein nätti, mutta jotenkin tämä homma tuntui ihan huijaukselta. Se oli liian helppoa. :)&lt;br /&gt;Joten taidan tykätä käsinmaalatuista tai Konadilla tehdyistä kynsistä kuitenkin enemmän.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TS7vCeturpI/AAAAAAAAAoc/F4aNJAgUnOQ/s1600/01_13_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TS7vCeturpI/AAAAAAAAAoc/F4aNJAgUnOQ/s320/01_13_2.jpg" width="271" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;When I was shopping, I came across these body tattoos for children, and remembered that &lt;a href="http://glammed-up-ainos2.blogspot.com/2010/10/fcc-34-silver-champagne-foil.html"&gt;ainos2&lt;/a&gt; had used them on her nails. So I decided to give it a go, and they worked extremely well. You just cut the sheet in tiny pieces, place a piece on your nail, wet the paper and then wait for twenty seconds or so.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The paper comes off easily and the tattoo remains on your nail.&amp;nbsp; You just seal the tattoo with top coat and you're done. I guess water decals work in the same way, but I haven't had a chance to experiment with those yet.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Although the result was very girlish and pretty, I somehow felt that  this was cheating. It was too easy. :) So I think I still prefer handpainting  and Konad to body tattoos.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TS7r4R1a6EI/AAAAAAAAAoY/dTfVEj4l28k/s1600/01_13_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="251" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TS7r4R1a6EI/AAAAAAAAAoY/dTfVEj4l28k/s320/01_13_3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-4594713077520603105?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/4594713077520603105/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/01/tatuointeja-tattoos.html#comment-form' title='16 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/4594713077520603105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/4594713077520603105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/01/tatuointeja-tattoos.html' title='Tatuointeja - Tattoos'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TS7r2n46RuI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/7inSjrLTZ2s/s72-c/01_13_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-958478207233503366</id><published>2011-01-10T23:07:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.894+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yleistä höpinää - general chit-chat'/><title type='text'>Konadeja Stockalta</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;Joulunkellot kajahtaa&lt;/i&gt; -postauksen kommenteissa anonyymi lukija kertoi, että Oulun Stockmannille olisi tullut Konadeja myyntiin. No minähän sitten läksin heti innoissani katsomaan. Valikoimassa oli yhtä ainoaa kuviolaattaa (niitä oli n. 5 kappaletta jäljellä), valkoista ja pinkkiä leimauslakkaa ja päällyslakkaa. Leimasimetkin olivat kuulemma loppuneet. Eli kaikki Konad-fanit, ei kannata rynniä paikalle shoppailemaan ihan heti. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, hienoa kuitenkin, että Stockmann on ottanut Konadeja myyntiin. Luulenpa, että niille on menekkiä, ja sitä myötä he toivottavasti monipuolistavat valikoimaansa. Muutenkin näyttävät kynsitarvikkeet lisääntyvän kaupoissa koko ajan. Tokmannillekin oli ilmestynyt uusia koristelulakkoja merkkiä &lt;i&gt;Delia art&lt;/i&gt;. Samanlainen pullo kuin Dependin lakoissa, mutta ohuella siveltimellä, hinta 3,90 e.

I went there today, only to discover that the selection included one (1) type of image plate, special polishes in two colours and top coat. No stampers, even. So my enthusiasm was a little premature. :D Let's hope that they will improve their selection in the future.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-958478207233503366?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/958478207233503366/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/01/konadeja-stockalta.html#comment-form' title='11 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/958478207233503366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/958478207233503366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2011/01/konadeja-stockalta.html' title='Konadeja Stockalta'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-366464515201685942</id><published>2011-01-09T18:01:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:31.206+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><title type='text'>Aurinko - The Sun</title><content type='html'>Tässä on simppeli konadilla tehty manikyyri viime kesältä.

(Even though I made these already a week ago for a Christmas party.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I started the manicure by applying a red base colour and painting some lines using nail art liners. (That silver glitter liner from eBay sucks. I had to apply like a hundred layers before I got enough glitter, and the brush is useless. I had to use my own. So don't order them!) Then I stamped a snowflake on each nail and added some glitter flakes and rhinestones.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Merry Christmas, everyone! &amp;lt;3&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TQ5QMrc6YGI/AAAAAAAAAnw/0-mBuo9IDgM/s1600/2010_12_19_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="268" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TQ5QMrc6YGI/AAAAAAAAAnw/0-mBuo9IDgM/s320/2010_12_19_3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-8395450818751204811?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/8395450818751204811/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/12/hyvaa-joulua-merry-christmas.html#comment-form' title='13 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/8395450818751204811'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/8395450818751204811'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/12/hyvaa-joulua-merry-christmas.html' title='Hyvää joulua! - Merry Christmas!'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TQ5LBPDHTCI/AAAAAAAAAno/GIzVKOMi-Cc/s72-c/2010_12_19_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-959581872085714882</id><published>2010-12-17T13:20:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-12-17T15:38:34.543+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Käsinmaalaus - Painting by hand'/><title type='text'>The Evil Eye</title><content type='html'>Minun ois pitäny tehä töitä tänä aamuna,&lt;br /&gt;mutta värkkäsinki sen sijaan tällasen. :D&lt;br /&gt;No, yhteen kynteen vain, ja nyt alan töihin.

Happy happy, joy joy! Now all I have to do is learn how to use it! :)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I thought that after the break, I'd start with a simple French manicure. This was my first attempt with foils, despite the fact that it was months ago when I ordered the foils. The result was rather Christmassy, even though that was not my intention.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;But I guess it doesn't matter, since Christmas is nigh.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I started with red nail polish and put some foil on top. Then I added rhinestones and some glitter.

Ehdotuksia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TFgNWZt9KvI/AAAAAAAAAlo/Gvok_x18JxI/s1600/08_03_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TFgNWZt9KvI/AAAAAAAAAlo/Gvok_x18JxI/s320/08_03_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Here's another creation that I made using the new fauxnad plates. The base is bright pink (Depend, 200) with some darker purple added on top with a sponge (Mavala, 62 MILANO). The stamps are made with Konad Special polishes, and I used plates BM02 and BM06. I like this mani a lot!

Ja ne toimivatkin tosi hyvin, paljon paremmin kuin edelliset, &lt;a href="http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/03/pettynyt-ebayhin-disappointed-in-ebay.html"&gt;eBaysta tilaamani fauxnad-levyt&lt;/a&gt;. Suosittelen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tässä ensimmäinen, meriaiheinen manikyyri uusilla levyillä. Valkoisen pohjavärin päälle töpöttelin sienellä sinistä lakkaa, ja sitten laitoin kerroksen vaaleansinistä glitterlakkaa. Lopuksi vain hurjaa leimailua ja muutama strassi. Aika söpöt kynnet tuli, vaikka itse sanonkin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TFPrgFAypQI/AAAAAAAAAlY/tyBljnERlv0/s1600/07_31_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TFPrgFAypQI/AAAAAAAAAlY/tyBljnERlv0/s320/07_31_2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I saw that other bloggers had ordered Bundle Monster fauxnad-plates from &lt;a href="http://amazon.com/"&gt;Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt;, so naturally I had to have them too. :) 21 image plates cost 18 euros, a very good deal! And they work extremely well, too, unlike my &lt;a href="http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/03/pettynyt-ebayhin-disappointed-in-ebay.html"&gt;previous fauxnad plates from eBay&lt;/a&gt;. I highly recommend these.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;So this is my first mani using these plates. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;On top of white base colour&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;, I applied some blue nail polish with a sponge. Next, I added one coat of light blue glitter polish. Then some vigorous stamping and a couple of rhinestones and it was done. The result is very cute, even if I say so myself!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TFPrid1V-bI/AAAAAAAAAlg/39D6R_AsUJM/s1600/07_31_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TFPrid1V-bI/AAAAAAAAAlg/39D6R_AsUJM/s320/07_31_3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lakat / &lt;i&gt;Polishes&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;- Eveline, Happy Colours, 30&lt;br /&gt;- Lumene, Natural Code, 9&lt;br /&gt;- Eveline, Party Colours, 185&lt;br /&gt;- Konad, Special Nail Polish, black &amp;amp; white&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Levyt / &lt;i&gt;Image plates&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;- BM04 (&lt;i&gt;fish&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;- BM08 (&lt;i&gt;anchor&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;- BM12 (&lt;i&gt;chain&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-4951228401755493827?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/4951228401755493827/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/07/uusia-levyja-new-plates.html#comment-form' title='34 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/4951228401755493827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/4951228401755493827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/07/uusia-levyja-new-plates.html' title='Uusia levyjä!

Valkealle pohjalle töpöttelin ensin sienellä vihreää ja vaaleanpunaista lakkaa, minkä päälle leimasin kuvioita ainakin kuudesta eri Konad-levystä. Kukkaleimat eivät tulleet kovin siististi, mutta ehkä se ei haittaa. Lisäksi vihreä pohjaväri näytti luonnossa kivemmalta, kuvassa se näyttää jostain syystä vähän sottaiselta. Tarkoituksena oli osallistua näillä Tartofraisen kesäaiheiseen kilpailuun, mutta myöhästyin.

On white base, I applied green and pink polish using a sponge. Then I stamped images from at least six different Konad stamping plates. The green stamps did not turn out very good, but I guess it does not matter that much. Also the green sponging actually looked better, in the pic it looks a bit smudgy. I was thinking about participating Tartofraise's Summer Nail Art Contest with this mani, but I was too late!

Pohjalle lakkasin ensin erivärisiä alueita  teipin avulla, ja raidallisen alueen tein nail art -lakoilla. Päälle  kiinnitin ensin hopeanväristä tarranauhaa (Tiimarista) ja lopuksi  lisäsin muita kynsitarroja.&lt;/span&gt; Kävin lauantaina lakkiaisissa, jossa  mulla oli musta-harmaa asu, ja nämä kynnethän sopivat siihen kuin nyrkki  silmään.

The base consists of different coloured areas, which I painted using clear tape as an aid. The black and glitter stripes were made with nail art liners. Then I attached some striping tape on the nails and a few decals. I went to a graduation party last Saturday and I was wearing a black and gray outfit. These nails looked just perfect with that, and they also received quite a few compliments. :)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Näitä tarvikkeita käytin:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is what I used:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TFgQDLtrY8I/AAAAAAAAAmI/1ngURS6ukgw/s1600/06_08_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TFgQDLtrY8I/AAAAAAAAAmI/1ngURS6ukgw/s320/06_08_3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-2679297298588564842?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/2679297298588564842/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/06/grayscale.html#comment-form' title='36 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2679297298588564842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2679297298588564842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/06/grayscale.html' title='Grayscale'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TFgP3eWWfBI/AAAAAAAAAl4/Q6kzeCq9t7U/s72-c/06_08_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>36</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-5414813307072227117</id><published>2010-05-31T21:01:00.007+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.900+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liukuvärjäys - gradient'/><title type='text'>Söpöläinen - Cutie pie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TAP_ZdQPYPI/AAAAAAAAAhU/I5XtXtQDDJA/s1600/05_31_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/TAP_ZdQPYPI/AAAAAAAAAhU/I5XtXtQDDJA/s320/05_31_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477502384627212530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mulla on jäänyt viime aikoina bloggaus vähän vähemmälle, kun on ollut töitä ja kaikenlaista muuta hommaa (ja hellettäkin jopa!).

Tipin tein ensin nail art -lakoilla, alla pinkkiä, päällä roosaa glitteriä. Sitten rajasin tipin mustalla nail art -lakalla, jonka jälkeen leimasin Konadilla rusetin levystä m71. Rusetin päälle laitoin hopeaglitteriä, käyttäen jälleen nail art -lakkaa, tein pilkut dotting toolilla ja lopuksi kiinnitin strassit.

It's all about balloons and silly hats, so the manicure had to be a bit silly as well. Well, perhaps it's not silly, just a bit childish or girly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Most of the mani was made using nail art polishes. The tip was made using pink and light pink glitter, the tip was lined with black polish, and the bow was filled with silver glitter.

Sitten lakkasin kuvion ympärystän vaaleanpunaisella (!) lakalla. Se on tarkoitettu ranskalaisen manikyyrin värilakaksi, mutta siitä tulee tollaista jännän sinistä, kun sitä laittaa mustan päälle. Pullo on vanha kuin taivas, eli sitä tuskin enää edes myydään...?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitten rajasin kuvion koristenauhalla, mikä on kyllä rasittavaa hommaa! Siihen meni varmaan yli tunti. Ja vaikka yritin kiinnittää nauhan päät kynsiliimalla, niin silti ne lähtivät irtoilemaan kynsien kärjistä. Ei oo todellakaan mun juttu tuo nauha...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lopuksi tein dotting toolilla muutamia kultaisia pisteitä ja laitoin päällyslakan. Tästä tuli ihan kiva manikyyri tuli mun mielestä, mutta sopisi paremmin vaikka joulun aikaan kuin kevääseen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S909gv1NISI/AAAAAAAAAgU/WZmo3qsfmLE/s1600/05_01_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 170px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S909gv1NISI/AAAAAAAAAgU/WZmo3qsfmLE/s200/05_01_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466593155502383394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to do something darker for a change, but then the mani turned out to be too dark for springtime and I ended up wearing it only for a couple of days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;First I applied black nail polish and stamped golden Konad images on the nails. Then I applied light pink (!) polish around the images. The polish is meant for French manicures, but it gives a funky blue effect when applied on top of black polish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Next I put striping tape around the image, which is a major pain in the ass. It took me almost an hour! And even though I tried to attach the ends using nail glue, they still came off of the tip of the nail. Striping tape is really not my thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Finally I made some golden dots using a dotting tool, and applied a top coat. I really like the result, although it would be better for Christmas time than the spring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S909gcBLFLI/AAAAAAAAAgM/lN-sbnMMmCU/s1600/05_01_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S909gcBLFLI/AAAAAAAAAgM/lN-sbnMMmCU/s200/05_01_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466593150183871666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S909gv1NISI/AAAAAAAAAgU/WZmo3qsfmLE/s1600/05_01_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-9082382436552493756?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/9082382436552493756/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/05/tummaa-ja-itamaista-dark-and-oriental.html#comment-form' title='18 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/9082382436552493756'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/9082382436552493756'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/05/tummaa-ja-itamaista-dark-and-oriental.html' title='Tummaa ja itämaista - Dark and oriental'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S909lS_79vI/AAAAAAAAAgc/hzjSErk-SCs/s72-c/05_01_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-263742194497603264</id><published>2010-04-27T11:50:00.007+03:00</published><updated>2010-04-27T12:24:07.190+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tutorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liukuvärjäys - gradient'/><title type='text'>Ohjeet liukuvärjäykseen - Gradient tutorial</title><content type='html'>Mua pyydettiin tekemään tutoriaali liukuvärjäyksestä,&lt;br /&gt;joten tässäpä tulee.

Tarrat oli sellasta kumimaista ainetta, mulla on ollu ennenki sellasia yks arkillinen, ja ne oli ihan yhtä surkeita. Varokaa siis kumimaisia kynsitarroja! Valitettavasti kaupassa tarrat on usein muovin sisällä, eikä niistä välttämättä näe, millaista ainetta ne on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S8lr9kpz2KI/AAAAAAAAAfk/itHzmMTEKmY/s1600/04_17_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S8lr9kpz2KI/AAAAAAAAAfk/itHzmMTEKmY/s320/04_17_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461014728718669986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't use light pink very often, so I decided to give it a go.&lt;br /&gt;The polish is &lt;/span&gt;Eveline Happy Colours&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, shade 326. It is so translucent that I had to apply 4-5 coats to make it opaque.&lt;br /&gt;Hard work! After finishing the base, I applied a streak of dark grey polish and attached some decals on top.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I think the result is very pretty, but unfortunately these decals were completely useless. Almost all came off during the first day, despite three layers of top coat! The decals were made of a rubbery material, I've had similar ones before and they were equally bad.

Joten päädyin vain leimaamaan Konadilla köynnökset siihen sivuun (levystä m37). Tylsää, eikö vain? Joten näitä en jaksanut kauaa katsella, ja laitoin pääsiäiseksi pelkän ranskalaisen manikyyrin.

Tein aluksi kolme tilausta: nail art -lakkoja (24 kpl hintaan 11 euroa ja risat), nail art -siveltimiä (15 kpl alle kolmella eurolla) ja Konad-levyjen halpoja kopioita (6 kpl reilulla 7 eurolla).

Ja vaikuttaa siltä, ettei pensselit pysy paikallaan kovin hyvin niissä lopuissakaan, jos ei ole varovainen. En kuitenkaan palauttanut lakkoja, sillä ajattelin, että voin käyttää niitä erillisillä siveltimillä, joita myös tilasin.

No nyt tuntuu olo suht tyhmältä. :D Kiitoksia kommentoijille, jotka kertoivat, että laattojen päällä on ohut muovikalvo, joka pitää ensin poistaa. Enhän minä ollut sitä huomannut, eikä tuotteen mukana tullut mitään ohjettakaan. Nyt ne toimii, mutta ei jälki ole siltikään ihan yhtä tarkkaa kuin Konadin levyissä. Niin, ja tietenkin ehdin jo myyjällekin lähettää vihaista postia... :) Mutta ehkä nuo pelkät nail art -lakat ansaitsee tämän tuohtumuksen, eli taidan jättää postauksen paikalleen...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT 2. Okei, on nuo levyt ilman muovikelmuakin oikeasti huonoja.  Kuvista tulee ihan suttuisia. Ongelma on ehkä päinvastainen kuin aluksi  luulin: kaiverrukset on liian syviä, jolloin niihin jää liian  paksu kerros lakkaa, ja sitten se leimattaessa suttaantuu. Pitäkää  tunkkinne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S5jrglS8EsI/AAAAAAAAAcc/I1amcBWdwHo/s1600-h/03_11_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S5jrglS8EsI/AAAAAAAAAcc/I1amcBWdwHo/s320/03_11_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447362694304502466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I've seen other bloggers order really cheap products from eBay, so I decided to give it a go myself. Registering in eBay and PayPal was easy, and all I had to do then was to start ordering. I started with three different products (all with Buy Now -option): 24 nail art polishes (about 11 euros), 15 nail art brushes (less than 3 euros), and 6 stamping plates (about 7 euros). The products were so disappointing that I think my eBay days are now over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;8 out of the 24 nail art polishes were faulty. The brushes were crooked or missing completely, or the pen tips didn't work: the polish kept gushing out. And it seems that the brushes are not that firmly attached in the remaining polishes, either. But I decided to keep these, since I thought I could use them with separate nail art brushes, which I also ordered. And they seemed to be quite ok, surprisingly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The stamping plates, then. The engravings were way too shallow: when the excess polish was scraped off, so was the whole image. Completely useless! I'm definitely going to return these. I guess I'll only trust the authentic Konad from now on. Grrrr!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT. Well, now I feel really stupid. :D Thanks for the people who commented and told me that there's a thin plastic film covering the plates.&lt;br /&gt;I hadn't noticed them, and there were no instructions in the package either. And of course I already sent angry e-mail to the seller... :) Now the plates work, but the images are still not as sharp as with Konad. Anyway, I guess the nail art polishes alone deserve this indignation, so I'll leave this post in the blog. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT2. After some testing, I realised that the plates really suck, even without the plastic films. The stamps become smudgy. The problem might be exactly the opposite than first thought: the engravings could be too deep, so the layer of polish remaining in them is too thick. That's why it smudges when stamped. I give up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-1594809263293647193?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/1594809263293647193/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/03/pettynyt-ebayhin-disappointed-in-ebay.html#comment-form' title='35 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/1594809263293647193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/1594809263293647193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/03/pettynyt-ebayhin-disappointed-in-ebay.html' title='Pettynyt eBayhin - Disappointed in eBay'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S5jrhS85I5I/AAAAAAAAAcs/U0zgvd3xF2M/s72-c/03_11_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>35</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-2883908792044334547</id><published>2010-03-10T18:03:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.906+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liukuvärjäys - gradient'/><title type='text'>Tähtisumua - Nebula</title><content type='html'>Tjah, tällaista tällä kertaa.

Sehän johtuu tietenkin vain siitä, että tein sen jo muutama viikko sitten. :) Ensin kokeilin tätä kuviota punaiselle pohjalle, mutta siitä tuli todellakin liian ystävänpäivämäinen tammikuuksi. Lopulta päädyin tähän ruskeaan pohjaan, mutta kas, siitähän tulikin sitten liian piparkakkumainen.&lt;br /&gt;Mikään ei onnistunut...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eli ruskea pohja on Maybellinen Colorama-sarjasta sävy 258, Hot Chocolate. Tosi huonoa lakkaa, en suosittele. Koostumus on litkumainen, eikä väristä saa tasaista, vaikka laittaisi kuinka monta kerrosta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pohjan päälle tein sydämet ja pisteet käyttäen dotting toolia ja valkoista kynsilakkaa. Viimeiseksi laitoin kerroksen glitter-lakkaa, mikä ei ehkä olisi kannattanut; lopputulos olisi voinut olla siistimpi ilman glittereitä. Mutta onhan siinä sydämiä, joten ei haittaa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hyvää ystävänpäivää kaikille!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S3RrX2Fm4VI/AAAAAAAAAa8/7gnNETygPDU/s1600-h/02_11.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 261px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S3RrX2Fm4VI/AAAAAAAAAa8/7gnNETygPDU/s320/02_11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437088707543228754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ha! For once I am in time, and I'm publishing my Valentine's Day manicure a few days early. That is only because I already made this manicure a couple of weeks ago. :) First I tried the same nail art on a red base, but it definitely was too valentinish for January. Then I decided to go with the dark brown base but, alas, the result now resembled gingerbread! Nothing seemed to work that day...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The brown nail polish is Maybelline Colorama, 258 Hot Chocolate. I don't like it at all, nor recommend it to anyone. The consistency is too watery and it's impossible to make the colour look even, no matter how many coats you apply. Anyway, the nail art is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; simply made&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; using a dotting tool and some white nail polish. I finished the manicure with one coat of glitter polish which, in retrospect, was a bad idea. I think the result would have been tidier without the glitter. But there are hearts so who cares.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S3RrYG5zeQI/AAAAAAAAAbE/WLpYwcGpbhU/s1600-h/02_11_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S3RrYG5zeQI/AAAAAAAAAbE/WLpYwcGpbhU/s320/02_11_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437088712057125122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-424851837049508302?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/424851837049508302/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/02/ystavanpaiva-valentines-day.html#comment-form' title='11 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/424851837049508302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/424851837049508302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/02/ystavanpaiva-valentines-day.html' title='Ystävänpäivä - Valentine&apos;s day'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S3RrX2Fm4VI/AAAAAAAAAa8/7gnNETygPDU/s72-c/02_11.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-6357624841195544513</id><published>2010-02-07T13:26:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.911+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='glitter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><title type='text'>Ilotulitus! - Fireworks!</title><content type='html'>Tässä on - näin reilun kuukauden jälkijunassa - mun uuden vuoden manikyyri.

Kuvion päälle länttäsin yhden strassin ja kolmen eri värisiä Tiimarin glittereitä, ja sutaisin vielä kerroksen glitterlakkaa kynnen kärkeen.

I always thought this was a weird image, but it came in handy in this mani. Then I attached a rhinestone plus glitter in three different colours on top of the image.

Ne saattaa näyttää vähän epäsiisteiltä, sillä kuvaa ottaessa kynnet oli ollu lakassa jo monta päivää, eli päällyslakkaa on jo useita kerroksia (yritän yleensä lisätä päällyslakkaa kerran päivässä, niin manikyyri pysyy hyvänä kauemmin).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Niin, mitäpä tästä prosessista nyt kertois. Kolmessa sormessa on ranskalainen tippi, joka on rajattu glitterillä ja strasseilla. Peukussa ja nimettömässä on pohjana sienellä tehty liukuvärjäys. Kukkakuvion tein dotting tooleilla ja lehdykät Konadilla (levystä m51). Kaikissa sormissa on vielä päällä glitterlakkaa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jos joku haluaisi kopioida idean, niin pahoittelen ajoitusta. Tammikuu ei ole ehkä paras aika joulumanikyyriin. Mutta koittakaa muistaa tämä vielä ensi jouluna. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S2H00qKh1CI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/4Asz2PKrqLM/s1600-h/01_28.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431891811094352930" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S2H00qKh1CI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/4Asz2PKrqLM/s320/01_28.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 249px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Here's the Christmas manicure that I promised to show you. It may look a bit scruffy, since I already had had the mani for days when I took these pics. So there are multiple layers of top coat, which usually results in ugly bubbles, especially around rhinestones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Anyway. In three fingers, there is a French tip that is lined with glitter and rhinestones. In two remaining fingers, the base colour consists of a gradient made with a sponge. The flower is made using dotting tools and the leaves are stamped with Konad (plate m51). And finally, there's a coat of glitter polish on all nails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry about the timing, though. If someone likes to copy my ideas, January may not be the best time for a Christmas manicure. But I hope you still remember this next Christmas. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S2G0iMxIQSI/AAAAAAAAAaI/Y083Y8Myi1w/s1600-h/01_28_2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431821125221368098" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S2G0iMxIQSI/AAAAAAAAAaI/Y083Y8Myi1w/s200/01_28_2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 200px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 174px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-80280542086082006?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/80280542086082006/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/01/joulukynnet-christmas-nails.html#comment-form' title='12 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/80280542086082006'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/80280542086082006'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/01/joulukynnet-christmas-nails.html' title='Joulukynnet - Christmas nails'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S2H00qKh1CI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/4Asz2PKrqLM/s72-c/01_28.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-440022304305635038</id><published>2010-01-20T12:54:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.914+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mattapäällyslakka - matifying top coat'/><title type='text'>Mattapintaa - Matifying mania</title><content type='html'>Ostin vihdoin ensimmäisen mattapintaisen päällyslakkani, Orlyn &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Matte Top&lt;/span&gt;in, joka löytyi Oulun Stockmannilta hintaan 18 ja risat. Joten nyt olen muodissa mukana. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Testailin tätä ensin paperille eri kynsilakkojen päälle, ja parhaat tulokset näytti tulevan tummista lakoista. Joten ensimmäiseen manikyyriin valitsin lakaksi Dependin sävyn 104, hiilenmusta lakka, jossa on hopeaa shimmeriä. En jaksanut tehdä mitään monimutkaisia koristeluja, sillä halusin päästä kokeilemaan päällyslakkaa mahdollisimman nopeasti, joten leimasin kynsiin Konadilla vain muutamia kuvioita levystä m7. Lopuksi laitoin kaksi kerrosta tätä päällyslakkaa, ja lopputuloksesta tuli minusta oikein hienostunut! Ja lakka ei näyttänyt suttaavan leimojakaan, joten sitä voi käyttää suoraan niiden päälle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S1bj8GcwSVI/AAAAAAAAAZo/6WMubMpzS9Q/s1600-h/01_20_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S1bj8GcwSVI/AAAAAAAAAZo/6WMubMpzS9Q/s320/01_20_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428777022504585554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I just caught up with the times and bought myself my first matifying top coat, Orly's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Matte Top&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. I tested it first on paper with different shades of nail polish and it seemed to produce the best results with darker colours. So as my first attempt on nails, I chose Depend's polish number 104, a charcoal black polish with silvery shimmer. I was so eager to try out &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Matte Top&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; that I didn't want to waste too much time on nail art, I just used Konad to stamp on some images from plate m7. I finished it off by two top coats. And I really like the result! Very refined! And what's best, this top coat doesn't smudge the stamps, so it can be used directly on a Konad image.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S1bkG62RAsI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/i1ceLR00OIw/s1600-h/01_20_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 178px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S1bkG62RAsI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/i1ceLR00OIw/s320/01_20_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428777208368923330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-440022304305635038?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/440022304305635038/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/01/mattapintaa-matifying-mania.html#comment-form' title='9 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/440022304305635038'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/440022304305635038'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2010/01/mattapintaa-matifying-mania.html' title='Mattapintaa - Matifying mania'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/S1bj8GcwSVI/AAAAAAAAAZo/6WMubMpzS9Q/s72-c/01_20_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-7909292961730185142</id><published>2010-01-11T16:30:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.916+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><title type='text'>Hyvää uutta vuotta! - Happy New Year!</title><content type='html'>No niin, joululomat on vietetty ja ois vissiin aika palata takaisin bloggailun pariin.

Siihen leimasin tippikuvion levystä m62 ensin valkoisella ja sitten mustalla. Laitoin ne tarkoituksella vinoon, kun ei niitä saisi ihan suoraan kuitenkaan. Kukkakuvion leimasin viimeiseksi, ja sen pitäisi löytyä levystä m37. Kukkasten keskelle lykkäsin dotting toolilla valkoiset pisteet ja pariin kynteen myös strassit.

But I'm gonna show those to you a bit later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Now, as the very first post this year, I'll show you a green konadicure! The base colour is Eveline Happy Colours, number 450. I deliberately made the pattern on the tip (plate m62) a bit lopsided because I knew it would be difficult to get it absolutely straight. First I stamped the pattern in white and then in black. Next I stamped the flowers, which can be found from plate m37. I used a dotting tool to make white spots in the middle and added a couple of rhinestones to seal the deal.

Koristelut ei oikeastaan olleet pääasia tässä manikyyrissä, vaan tuo syvänpunainen pohjaväri (Depend,19). Olinkin itse asiassa ensin muutaman päivän pelkissä punaisissa kynsissä, mutta ei se oikein tuntunut omalta, liekö johtunut väristä vai koristelun puutteesta. Itse pikkujouluihin laitoin sitten koristeita, jotka koostuivat kynsitarroista, glitter-palasista ja strasseista. Tää ei nyt ollu mikään mielikuvituksen riemuvoitto, mutta hyvät juhlat oli silti. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SyoC0Z-JaNI/AAAAAAAAAYo/FaDQKnmznoo/s1600-h/joulukuu17.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 254px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SyoC0Z-JaNI/AAAAAAAAAYo/FaDQKnmznoo/s320/joulukuu17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416144601214445778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made this manicure for the christmas party I had last weekend. The nail art was not the main point this time, but the deep red base colour (Depend, 19). I actually spent a few days wearing only those plain red nails, but I guess it just wasn't my thing... So for the party, I added some decorations that consisted of decals, glitter particles and rhinestones. Not the most imaginative nail art I've done, but the party was good nevertheless.&lt;/span&gt; :)&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-2508263312449803993?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/2508263312449803993/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/12/pikkujoulukynnet-christmas-nails.html#comment-form' title='1 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2508263312449803993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/2508263312449803993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/12/pikkujoulukynnet-christmas-nails.html' title='Pikkujoulukynnet / Christmas nails'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SyoC0Z-JaNI/AAAAAAAAAYo/FaDQKnmznoo/s72-c/joulukuu17.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-1199986116343222765</id><published>2009-12-14T15:17:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.917+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><title type='text'>Helppoa - Something simple</title><content type='html'>Tällä kertaa ei ollut energiaa tehdä mitään monimutkaista, joten päädyin tällaiseen yksinkertaiseen malliin.

Viimeiseksi kiinnitin tarrat (siis kaksi tarraa per kynsi) ja laitoin päällyslakan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxjP5Lq6-eI/AAAAAAAAAYI/fVoySkyqEag/s1600-h/joulukuu4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxjP5Lq6-eI/AAAAAAAAAYI/fVoySkyqEag/s320/joulukuu4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411303533577959906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Olin sitten sen verran taukki, etten laskenut tarroja ennen kuin aloin niitä liimailemaan, eli eihän ne enää riittäneetkään oikeaan käteen. Otin avuksi Konadin ja leimasin kukkakuvion levystä m39 kahteen kertaan joka kynnelle. Kukkien keskelle kiinnitin hopeaglitterit, valitettavasti ne nyt näkyy mustina kuvassa. Ajattelin, ettei tästä voi tulla kuitenkaan yhtä hieno kuin tarroista, mutta ehkä tykkään tästä kädestä kuitenkin enemmän.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxjP9PE-PAI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/HH_NI2jAm8I/s1600-h/joulukuu4_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 175px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxjP9PE-PAI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/HH_NI2jAm8I/s320/joulukuu4_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411303603212008450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ja nythän mun tarkkaan varjeltu salaisuuskin paljastui, eli en saa kaikkia oikean käden kynsiä kasvamaan pitkiksi... Sitä kättä käytän kuitenkin enemmän, niin kynnet kärsii ja liuskoittuu, varsinkin peukalo ja etusormi. Siksi en otakaan kuvia koskaan oikeasta kädestä. Enkä osaakaan, sillä tämän kuvan ottaminen ei meinannut onnistua millään! Vaikka vasen käsi on harjaantunut jo suht hyvin manikyyrien tekoon niin kameraa se ei vain osannut käyttää. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I saw somewhere (I can't remember where, sorry!) that someone had used  flower decals in this way, and I thought it looked very nice. So I had  to copy the idea. The base colour consists of a gradient made using a  sponge and two different shades of purple. On top of that there is one  coat of Depend nail polish, shade 155, that has beautiful flakes in it.  Unfortunately you can't see the flakes in these pics, but &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SoJy6JMMruI/AAAAAAAAAPM/r15wGl6ddhE/s1600-h/elokuu12_2.jpg"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;  you can. Then I just added two decals per nail and a top coat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I was stupid enough not to count the decals before applying them and I didn't have enough of them for my right hand. So I had to use Konad instead. I stamped the flowery image from plate m39 twice on each nail and added silver glitter particles in the middle of the flowers  (unfortunately they look black in the pic). I think I actually prefer the Konadicure over the decals!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And now my closely guarded secret has been revealed: I have a few short nails on my right hand! I use the right hand more so the nails break and peel, especially on my thumb and forefinger. That's why I never take pictures of my right hand, and also because my left one sucks at using the camera...&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-6754044867450509594?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/6754044867450509594/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/12/violettia-purple-bliss.html#comment-form' title='11 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/6754044867450509594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/6754044867450509594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/12/violettia-purple-bliss.html' title='Violettia - Purple bliss'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxjP5Lq6-eI/AAAAAAAAAYI/fVoySkyqEag/s72-c/joulukuu4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-5633072427154390577</id><published>2009-11-30T18:25:00.010+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.920+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='glitter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><title type='text'>Liekeissä - In Flames</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxPyGUzYxtI/AAAAAAAAAXo/_Y6kH2iFdy8/s1600/marraskuu30.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxPyGUzYxtI/AAAAAAAAAXo/_Y6kH2iFdy8/s320/marraskuu30.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409933767879476946" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Konadin levyssä m63 on liekkikuvio, joka näytti minusta aluksi ihan typerältä. Niinpä minun piti alkaa ihan asioikseni miettimään, että voiko sitä oikeasti käyttää jotenkin hienosti, ja voihan sitä! Kokeilin ensin leimata valkoiselle pohjalle punakeltaisia liekkejä, mutta siitä ei tullut hyvä, joten päädyin tällaiseen hillitympään värimaailmaan. Leimat tein siis ruskealla ja vihreällä, ja laitoin vielä kullanvärisiä ja vaaleanpunaisia glittereitä kaveriksi.

So I started thinking about how to use it in a nice way. And this is it! First I tried to stamp the flames in red and yellow, but I didn't like the way it looked, so I decided to make the colour scheme more muted. I stamped the images in brown and green and attached some golden and pinkish glitter particles to make the mani even nicer. I think it turned out really cute, even if I say so myself. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxPx-pPLTaI/AAAAAAAAAXY/HTeLgpxW-7A/s1600/marraskuu30_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 118px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxPx-pPLTaI/AAAAAAAAAXY/HTeLgpxW-7A/s200/marraskuu30_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409933635925790114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-5633072427154390577?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/5633072427154390577/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/11/liekeissa-in-flames.html#comment-form' title='11 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5633072427154390577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/5633072427154390577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/11/liekeissa-in-flames.html' title='Liekeissä - In Flames'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SxPyGUzYxtI/AAAAAAAAAXo/_Y6kH2iFdy8/s72-c/marraskuu30.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-8811827782091046397</id><published>2009-11-24T16:08:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.922+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='glitter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kynsilakat - nail polish'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strassit - rhinestones'/><title type='text'>Persikkaista - Just peachy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SwvpHHFlw3I/AAAAAAAAAW4/xEPqX_sVL10/s1600/marraskuu24.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 231px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SwvpHHFlw3I/AAAAAAAAAW4/xEPqX_sVL10/s320/marraskuu24.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407672085959263090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Käytin Dependin persikanväristä sävyä 09 ensimmäistä kertaa, enkä oikein tykännyt, koska se on niin lähellä ihon väriä. Niinpä yritin laittaa päälle mahdollisimman paljon glitterlakkaa (3 kerrosta), mutta ei se persikkainen sävy juuri peittynyt. Tuon glitterlakan ostin Seppälästä, ja vaikka se näyttää pullossa kirkkaan pinkiltä, kynnellä ei näy juuri muuta kuin kimalteet. Tällä pohjavärillä oli sitten kuitenkin mentävä; päälle leimasin kiemurat Konadin levystä m63 (käytin vain puolikasta kuviota) ja viimeistelyksi kiinnitin vielä pisaranmuotoiset strassit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/Swvpx26_hVI/AAAAAAAAAXI/VQMOB0yyOdc/s1600/marraskuu24_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 110px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/Swvpx26_hVI/AAAAAAAAAXI/VQMOB0yyOdc/s320/marraskuu24_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407672820354221394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I used this peach coloured polish by Depend for the fist time, and I didn't quite like it since it resembled my skin tone too much. So I tried to cover it with three coats of glitter polish, but the bright pink that you see in the bottle is actually quite transparent on the nail. So, I wasn't happy about the base colour, but what could I do. So I just stamped some Konad images from plate m63 on the nails and finished off the manicure by attaching some rhinestones in the middle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/Swvp33UsKdI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/cDjZvR-4tac/s1600/marraskuu24_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/Swvp33UsKdI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/cDjZvR-4tac/s200/marraskuu24_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407672923541219794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-8811827782091046397?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/8811827782091046397/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/11/persikkaista-just-peachy.html#comment-form' title='2 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/8811827782091046397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/8811827782091046397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/11/persikkaista-just-peachy.html' title='Persikkaista - Just peachy'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SwvpHHFlw3I/AAAAAAAAAW4/xEPqX_sVL10/s72-c/marraskuu24.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-2242544895132753844</id><published>2009-11-19T12:41:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T13:29:28.398+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='koristenauha - striping tape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kynsitarrat - decals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strassit - rhinestones'/><title type='text'>Sinistä ja hopeaa - Blue and silver</title><content type='html'>Olen ollut aika kiireinen viime aikoina, enkä ole ehtinyt laittamaan kynsiä ollenkaan!

I've been going around with my hands all naked for a couple of weeks! :) Anyway, I finally managed to do something and here it is. This manicure was quite difficult to photograph, and it actually looked a lot better than what is shown in the pics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The base colour is some cheap brand,  shown in the pic. The flowers and white dots are decals, and the  rhinestones are attached using clear nail polish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; The silvery stripes are made with striping tape, which I tried  for the first time, and it didn't quite work out. (Before this, I've been using striping tape that I bought from a craft shop, not proper nail art tape.) I tried to cut the ends shorter than the nail, and put loads of clear nail polish on top of them, but still the tape started coming off immediately.

Ja nimettömään värit tuli tietysti toisinpäin.

Halloween is not such a big deal in Finland yet, but it's getting bigger every year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Anyway, using tip guides, I painted an orange tip on top of the white base colour (vice versa on the accent nail) and stamped the black Konad image from plate m56. Then I removed the guides and stamped the spiders from plate m1. The spider image is the only one I have that has anything to do with Halloween, so I kinda had to use it. Finally, I painted a stripe on the smile line with a nail art liner and applied a top coat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;For base coat, I always use NailTek II since my nails peel easily. NailTek has really helped me a lot with that. For top coat I use various brands, but when stamping with Konad, I use Konad's own top coat because it doesn't smudge the images.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Happy Halloween everyone!&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-4813066574880973638?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/4813066574880973638/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/10/happy-halloween.html#comment-form' title='11 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/4813066574880973638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/4813066574880973638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/10/happy-halloween.html' title='Happy Halloween!'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SusvLcCvvQI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/niC9Y961VKc/s72-c/DSCN5544.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-2677346458258221195</id><published>2009-10-28T14:28:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T14:44:53.001+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Winds of change</title><content type='html'>Since I've been getting more comments in English recently, which goes to show that I have readers from other countries as well, I've decided to make my blog bilingual.

Muut päällyslakat kun tuppaavat suttaamaan leimoja jonkin verran. Tilasin samalla kynsiliimaa, haikailemiani nail art -lakkoja (valkoinen ja musta), hopean väristä raitatarraa (tai koristenauhaa vaimitäsenyton), kynsinauhojen poistokynän ja kynsilakan korjauskynän. Postikulujen kans tää satsi maksoi n. 35 euroa. Tilauksen tein &lt;a href="http://www.cesarsshop.fi/"&gt;Cesarsshopista&lt;/a&gt; ja toimitus oli jälleen hyvin nopeaa ja vaivatonta, suosittelen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/StOCHOfRRdI/AAAAAAAAATs/QvlolPea5fo/s1600-h/lokakuu12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 250px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/StOCHOfRRdI/AAAAAAAAATs/QvlolPea5fo/s320/lokakuu12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391796239552562642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Testasin jo koristelulakkoja ja hyviltä tuntuivat. Hyvin toimi myös tuo kynsilakan korjauskynä, helpomminhan sillä sai puhdistettua ylimenneet lakat kuin kömpelöllä vanupuikolla, mutta luulisin, että terä menee sotkuiseksi aika pian (mukana ei tullut vaihtoteriä). Mut katsotaan nyt miten käy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tässä vielä viime aikoina hankkimiani lakkoja. Evelinen lakat oli Tokmannilla tarjouksessa kolme kappaletta viitosella, ja Dependejäkin sai Kicksistä kolme kuudella eurolla. Ostin tuon Dependin aluslakan siksi, ettei tarvi tuhlata kallista NailTekiä kun tekee manikyyrejä kavereille. :D Ostin lisäksi Rimmelin Super Wear -päällyslakan, jossa luvataan jopa 10 päivän pysyvyys.

No tässä tulee heti yksi. Innostuin maalaamaan kuviot ihan käsin, mikä osoittautui kyllä aika työlääksi. Hommaa helpottais varmaan suunnattomasti, jos ois käytössä eri värisiä nail art -kyniä, mutta mun täytyi nyt tyytyä ihan normikynsilakkoihin. Välineinä käytin pientä sivellintä ja dotting toolia, ja viirut kukan terälehtiin tein nuppineulalla. Huomasin, että sivellintä kannattaa uittaa kynsilakanpoistoaineessa ennen kynsilakan ottamista, niin väri levittyy paremmin. Oikeasta kädestä ei tullut arvattavastikaan ihan yhtä hieno, mut yllättävän hyvin onnistui sekin. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tämä kuviohan on perinteistä kynsitaidetta parhaimmillaan, eri versioita löytyy netistä paljon. Seuraavassa kokeilussa sitten ehkä jotain mielikuvituksekkaampaa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Varjossa pohjalakan väri näyttää oikeammalta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SryMSqPck7I/AAAAAAAAASs/PUHX3CEgI9Q/s1600-h/syyskuu25.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SryMSqPck7I/AAAAAAAAASs/PUHX3CEgI9Q/s320/syyskuu25.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385333506632881074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Auringonvalossa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SryMTIicI1I/AAAAAAAAAS0/MybPQb31I34/s1600-h/syyskuu25_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SryMTIicI1I/AAAAAAAAAS0/MybPQb31I34/s320/syyskuu25_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385333514765607762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-270814046749049943?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/270814046749049943/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/09/kasinmaalausta.html#comment-form' title='15 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/270814046749049943'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/270814046749049943'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/09/kasinmaalausta.html' title='Käsinmaalausta'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SryMSqPck7I/AAAAAAAAASs/PUHX3CEgI9Q/s72-c/syyskuu25.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834930478175890654.post-6332170398833993801</id><published>2009-09-22T19:30:00.004+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-24T22:00:49.943+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leimaus - Stamping'/><title type='text'>Kaksiväristä leimailua</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SsmvrRaDcNI/AAAAAAAAATU/rZGBwp7AW14/s1600-h/syyskuu22.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 211px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SsmvrRaDcNI/AAAAAAAAATU/rZGBwp7AW14/s320/syyskuu22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389031587067424978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Halusin kokeilla, miten Konadilla onnistuu leimata kuvio kahdella eri värillä. Valitsin pitsikuvion levystä m57, jota laitoin kaksi kappaletta rinnakkain. Tämä oli ehkä huono kuvio tähän kokeiluun siinä mielessä, ettei siihen tullut kovin hienoa liukuvärjäysefektiä, vaan pitsin reunus jäi violetiksi ja keskiosa siniseksi. Noh, aika hieno lopputulos silti, minusta ainakin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834930478175890654-6332170398833993801?l=pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/feeds/6332170398833993801/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/09/kaksivarista-leimailua.html#comment-form' title='11 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/6332170398833993801'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3834930478175890654/posts/default/6332170398833993801'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pienikynsiblogi.blogspot.com/2009/09/kaksivarista-leimailua.html' title='Kaksiväristä leimailua'/><author><name>Olmi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08307462733118888576</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgWJGLKGBCQ/TeDCj2N5DeI/AAAAAAAABDs/BWRVjAH6CmA/s220/Olmi.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5KOS7gUaZoM/SsmvrRaDcNI/AAAAAAAAATU/rZGBwp7AW14/s72-c/syyskuu22.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry></feed>
