Not my night.

           I started out tonight excited to try out the saran wrap look. 


The idea is to paint your base color and let it dry, Then paint the second coat a different color and before it drys you dab it with a small amount of balled up saran plastic wrap. It removes just enough color to give you a marbled look.


Suprise!... It didn't go as planned. I think it might have been my color choices? The combination ended up looking a little sickly. I went with Essie-"turquoise and Caicos" and Essie-"fruit sangria"

                                                    Tip! 
If you want to do this technique, make sure you pick polishes that have great coverage. If it takes more that one coat, it's a no go.

Fruit sangria went on fantastically with one coat, and while I love turquoise and caicos, it was not a good pick for this as it needs 3 coats to look solid.

The Saran wrap was only applied to one hand and I knew from the way it came out I wasn't going to keep it on so I decided to try out different top coats (matte and glossy) Then to my other hand I just put on some glitters to see with the color combinations would look like.

The middle is perdy!

After that learning experience I let my little sister pick out what I would do next and she picked China Glaze-"smoke and ashes" with a gradient of Essie-"as gold as it gets"


Here's where I say, it's not my night. I didn't like this either.


All in all I did enjoy spending the evening painting nails with my sister. (we did hers too and our toes) but I will be taking this off in the morning and replacing it with something happier.

                                           Glad I could share my not so great manicures!
