Essie saran wrap manicure

Today's post is a dabbed saran wrap mani using Essie Turquoise and Caicos and Naughty Nautical. If you haven't tried this technique before, it is very easy with great results.
I used Turquoise and Caicos as the base. Once dry I applied one coat of Naughty Nautical and then dabbed off with the scrunched up saran wrap. I suggest doing one nail at a time so the polish doesn't dry up too much before you can get it off the nail. Once that is done, apply top coat! That's it. Easy peasy.

There you have it. Subtle but pretty! Thanks for stopping in today and I hope to see you back. As always, comments are welcome. Please excuse the dry cuticles. We have been having some dry hot days that have been drying out my hands. Cheers.

Saran wrap watercolour manicure

Today's post is a watercolour mani using saran wrap.  This was very easy to do. If you haven't seen it before, I suggest going on You Tube and doing a search. There are a lot of easy to follow videos. Plus, there are a few different variations. This is the video I found. It's not mine, so thanks to the poster of it!

This was the manicure I wore to my 20 year high school reunion on the weekend. It went perfectly with my dress! You'll have to excuse the tip wear in the pics. I forgot that I hadn't taken photos, so by the time I got around to it, I had already been wearing this mani for four days. Oops!

Colours used were OPI Skull & Glossbones, I Saw U Saw We Saw Warsaw, Vant To Bite My Neck? and Cult Nails Nakizzle's Shizzle.




This was a really easy technique and something I'll be trying again. So many colour combos that could be used! Not bad for my first try at this. Have you tried this?
Thanks for stopping by!
