Olá meninas!!
Esse Jade é o primeiro esmaltinho que estou usando da troca que fiz com a Paty, é um azul lindo e tem aquele efeito Matte com brilhos, lindo de viver...
Fazendo uns testes no disquinho me apaixonei pela combinação dele com o OT.
A foto principal mostra bem o efeito Matte dele, nos comentários as fotos mostram os brilhinhos! Ainda vou usar o Safire sozinho, pois tem um tom maravilhoso de azul!!
O Safire seca super rápido e foi tranquilo tb pra limpar, acho esse o mais bonito da coleção!
Obrigada Paty, amei!!!!
É isso meninas! Bjos

This city, my immortal living place.
How charming with glowing lights and Safire sky
Oh how I’ve learned so much
About my city
About my people
When we move fast, running from life
when we are slow to observe life
The way we say hello
If we say hello!
When we are friendly and have hope
or when we frown with our hopes lost
This is my city, my immortal living place
This second-generation Tata Indica supermini was driving along Sir. Herbert Miles Road. The second gen Indica Vista shares no components with the older Indica, and was a whole 'new' model. I actually saw a few of theses Tatas in Gibraltar, which have obviously come from neighbouring Spain, where they seem rather popular.

PLEASE COMMENT WHEN YOU FAVE. It’s really not that hard and i love hearing feedback. It’s not much, even if its just "nice" or something, but it really makes a difference. thank you.
So I started by just making Metallo, but I didn’t want to take a photo of him alone, so I was pondering who to put him with, and I ended up making the entire injustice league. Or is it the injustice gang? Or the legion of doom? I think it’s them cause of that one animated movie.
Left to Right:
Black Manta: even though he isn’t really in the group, I put him in cause I felt like it. Design goes to Julius no (I think?)
Star Safire: probably my least favorite of this bunch. I want some kind of crown but I can't sculpy for crap. Consider this a wip-ish.
Bane: really like how he came out. Inspired by Chaos Son of SoS.
Metallo: got inspired by the lego movie (mini review, everything is awesome) and found a really good head for him, then I stayed up until 2 in the morning fucking around with the design. Definitely my favorite of the group.
Cheetah: Nothing really to say about her. Tail is a bit of electrical tape (though I don’t think you can really see it)
Mirror Master: already posted him. Just posting him with the rest of the bunch
Ma'alefa'ak: Again, really like how he came out. Inspired my [Skatersponge].
I'm hoping that they don't find me. I'm hiding and creeping around corners. Bobbing and weaving around poles trying to hide myself...lol. I'm matching from head to toe. Even stopped by Applique this round before it ended on the 7th to get the Cazimi newness. Cazimi has released their Dart B&W Nail Applier for Slink, Belleza, Omega, and Maitreya and you definitely don't want to miss this. 10 colors to choose from that's easy to match...ladies...take the landmark provided below and head down to Applique and as always happy shopping ladies! ☺

Lindos, perfeitos e maravilhosos.
Pronto é isso um beijo!
kkkkkkk
Brincadeira geeeeeente. Que esmaltes é esse Safire Dream? Se eu não tivesse pedido ele junto com meus PLs eu ia me arrepender pelo resto da vida. Ele é muito muito muito lindo e nem sei se ele é azul ou verde.
Nas fotos ele aparece azul, masn a vdd ele tem um tom meio esverdeado da cor da cauda da sereia sabe?! (pois é né kkkk)
O Crystal Lake também é perfeito, combinou demais. Apliquei ele com a esponja para ficar concentrado sem ficar grosso.
Esmaltes:
1x Base incolor - Ideal
2x Safire Dream - Jade
Crystal Lake - EDK
1x Cobertura espelhada - Impala
Tem mais fotos nos comentários :*
Esmalte bom de passar e bonito de olhar.
Três camadas porque eu estava achando que o branco da unha estava muito aparente, a secagem foi rápida e mesmo no calor não formou bolinhas, gostei muito dessa linha da Jade, achei a textura suave e não aflitiva.
Com top coat deve ficar bem lindo tb porque ele brilha muito!
does not mean that doing it is right :-) William Safire

I captured this beauty berthed in dock at Aberdeen Harbour Scotland on Saturday 13th April 2019.
I also captured her leaving with three minesweepers on Sunday 14th April 2019, I posted those photos at the weekend here on Flickr.
Below is my description from Sundays post.
Today Sunday 14th April 2019 I decided Torry Docks overlooking Aberdeen Harbour Scotland was the place for me to be, various ships entering and leaving the harbour though I knew that four war frigates had arrived a day or so ago with whispers of today as their departure day, camera loaded, I decided to dedicate my afternoon down at Aberdeen Harbour Scotland, waiting on these beauty's to leave.
Tonight at 20pm I was rewarded , I post a few of the shots I captured of HDMS Thetis F357 leaving followed by the minesweepers behind her.
Meeting fellow photographers and enthusiasts who also arrived to see these beauty's head out to the North Sea made the evening a bit of an event, I had a great experience , loved it .
HDMS Thetis is a Thetis-class ocean patrol vessel belonging to the Royal Danish Navy.
In mid-1990s the ship served as a platform for seismic operations in the waters near Greenland. In 2002 she took over the role from her sister ship Hvidbjørnen as a platform for Commander Danish Task Group.
The role was handed over to Absalon in September 2007. From February - April 2008 Thetis served as a protection vessel for the World Food Programme chartered ships, carrying food aid, off the Horn of Africa. In 2009 the ship served as staff ship for the NATO Mine Countermeasure Group 1.

Four Thetis class frigates for the Royal Danish Navy have been built by the Svendborg Shipyard with headquarters on the island of Funen in Svendborg, Denmark. The Thetis (F357) and Triton (F358) were commissioned in 1991, and Vaedderen (F359) and Hvidbjornen (F360) in 1992.
The Thetis Class are multi-role frigates for fishery protection, surveillance, air-sea rescue, anti-pollution and ice reconnaissance.
THETIS DESIGN
The frigates have a double-skinned hull divided by ten bulkheads into watertight compartments. The basic hull shape corresponds to that of a high-speed trawler. There are no bilge keels, but stabilisation is achieved by a combination of fin stabilisers from Blohm and Voss and a controlled passive tank system supplied by Intering.
The frigates are ice-strengthened and are able to proceed through 80cm of solid ice. The hull has an icebreaking bow and stem lines suitable for operations in ice with only one propeller. To minimise ice formation on the superstructure, all winches, capstans, etc. are placed under deck. The allowed amount of icing is 375t.
Maximum continuous speed is 20kt in 4m seas. The ships can stand wind gusts of 150kt during light ice conditions and operate in all sea conditions at speeds of 4kt to 5kt. The ships have an endurance of 8,300nm at varying speeds with a 10% fuel reserve.
COMMAND AND CONTROL
Infocom Electronics, based in Sonderborg, Denmark produced the frigate’s integrated information system, which is based on a digital fibre-optic switch with digital multipurpose subscriber stations.
The system handles all internal and external communications, including data link and message handling for the ship’s Command, Control and Communications (C3) system, supplied by Terma Elektronik of Lystrup, Denmark.
WEAPONS
The armament consists of one Oto Melara 76mm Super Rapid main gun, one or two 20mm guns from Oerlikon and depth charge throwers. The Super Rapid gun has a rate of fire of 120 rounds a minute and range of 16km. The fire control system is the Saab Systems 9LV 200 mk3. A FLIR Systems Inc AN/AAQ-22 SAFIRE thermal imaging system is used for surveillance.
HELICOPTER
The frigate has a landing deck with a landing spot for a single helicopter. Helicopter support arrangements include a Glide Path Indicator (GPI) and a flight refuelling system. The hangar is equipped for helicopter maintenance and has capacity to hold a Lynx helicopter without having to fold the helicopter tail.
SENSORS
The frigates are fitted with a BAE Systems AWS-6 air and surface search radar operating at G band, a Terma Scanter Mil surface search radar operating at I band, a Furuno FR-1505 DA navigation radar operating at I band and a Saab Systems 9LV mk3 fire control radar operating at I and J bands.
Sonar equipment consists of a Saab Systems hull-mounted type CTS 36 RDN and a Thales Underwater Systems (formerly Thomson Marconi) TMS 2640 Salmon Variable Depth Sonar (VDS).
COUNTERMEASURES
“The Thetis Class frigates are ice-strengthened and are able to proceed through 80cm of solid ice.”
The countermeasures suite includes the Thales Defence Ltd Cutlass radar warning receiver, a Thales Defence Scorpion radar jammer and two Sea Gnat launchers for chaff and infrared flares.
PROPULSION
The propulsion machinery consists of three MAN B&W V28/32 diesel engines with combined power of 9,000kW. The fitted bow thruster is able to hold the bow against an athwartship wind of 28kt. A retractable azimuth thruster is capable of propelling the ship at 10kt.
The bow and azimuth thruster are produced by Brunvoll A/S. There is also a shaft generator of 1,500kW, supplied by Volund Motorteknik A/S, and three GM diesel motors with Volund Teknik generators, each with an output of 480kW.
The machinery is controlled by an integrated ship control and surveillance system (SCSS) designed by Soren T. Lyngso. The system allows the vessel to sail with unmanned engine rooms, the entire installation being controlled, and visually supervised from the bridge or from other locations in the ship.
Namesake: Thetis is encountered in Greek mythology mostly as a sea nymph or known as the goddess of water, one of the fifty Nereids, daughters of the ancient sea god Nereus..
Newspaper Article On 2019s War Exercise In Scotland.
E River Clyde is set to play host to the largest military exercise in Europe.
The Faslane Naval Base will be at the heart of the biggest 'tactically-focused' training operation - called Exercise Joint Warrior - from 16 to 26 April.
The multi-national event is conducted in the spring and autumn of each year, with the base hosting key Royal Navy and RAF personnel involved in it.
They will be joined by another 150 personnel, many of them reservists, with a joint warfare operations centre set up at the base to co-ordinate and manage the massive exercise.
A total of 32 separate naval units from eight different countries are taking part, as well as a considerable military air presence and multiple land forces.
Faslane will berth many of the vessels during the exercise, with the ships using the base for quick and easy access to some of the maritime training areas off the west coast.
The UK, USA, Germany, Netherlands, France, Norway, Denmark and Canada are all contributing and Royal Navy Flagship, HMS Bulwark, will be hosting the Commander United Kingdom Task Group and Commander Standing NATO Maritime Group 1.
Meanwhile the UK's joint force HQ will deploy to practice its command function both afloat on the high-readiness helicopter and commando carrier, HMS Illustrious, and ashore. The aim of the exercise is to provide the highest quality training for all three armed services and the numerous visiting forces from allied nations.
To achieve this, Joint Warrior features a wide-ranging exercise scenario which brings into play every possible situation experienced in complex, modern conflicts. It involves three sovereign nations, some disputed territory, drug smuggling, piracy, state-sponsored terrorism and counter insurgency. The scenario develops over the two-weeks of the exercise, beginning with a period of military and political tension and evolving into simulated war fighting and potential state-on-state hostilities.

The Chinook flying straight and level at altitude, above the range of SAFIRE (small-arms fire), en route to insert the raiding force. One of the two front-door M134 multi-barrelled miniguns is seen to advantage here.
All the parts used in the model are made by Lego except for the ramp gun; the round 'ports' are modified 2 x 2 x 1 trans clear panels 4864 with dark-green Lego decal cutouts added. The only other modified part (other than the customised minifig aircrew) is the main cargo hook, a 30395 with the upper ball removed to allow it to swing freely between deployed and stowed positions.

The Faslane Naval Base will be at the heart of the biggest 'tactically-focused' training operation - called Exercise Joint Warrior - from 16 to 26 April.
The multi-national event is conducted in the spring and autumn of each year, with the base hosting key Royal Navy and RAF personnel involved in it.
They will be joined by another 150 personnel, many of them reservists, with a joint warfare operations centre set up at the base to co-ordinate and manage the massive exercise.
A total of 32 separate naval units from eight different countries are taking part, as well as a considerable military air presence and multiple land forces.
Faslane will berth many of the vessels during the exercise, with the ships using the base for quick and easy access to some of the maritime training areas off the west coast.
The UK, USA, Germany, Netherlands, France, Norway, Denmark and Canada are all contributing and Royal Navy Flagship, HMS Bulwark, will be hosting the Commander United Kingdom Task Group and Commander Standing NATO Maritime Group 1.
Meanwhile the UK's joint force HQ will deploy to practice its command function both afloat on the high-readiness helicopter and commando carrier, HMS Illustrious, and ashore. The aim of the exercise is to provide the highest quality training for all three armed services and the numerous visiting forces from allied nations.
To achieve this, Joint Warrior features a wide-ranging exercise scenario which brings into play every possible situation experienced in complex, modern conflicts. It involves three sovereign nations, some disputed territory, drug smuggling, piracy, state-sponsored terrorism and counter insurgency. The scenario develops over the two-weeks of the exercise, beginning with a period of military and political tension and evolving into simulated war fighting and potential state-on-state hostilities.
Am unsure what is happening here.
We did not know there were g'hoods in this spot but a few weeks ago it was quite lrge and they were visible as they came up before anything else after the fire.
Now, though, they are disappearing.
