Good Afternoon Polished People!!
I used to think I couldn’t do nail art because I don’t have that steady of a hand. Well, besides getting a steadier hand through practice, and stamping which doesn’t require steadiness, I’ve learned there are plenty of methods I can do that make awesome looking nails. One of those is the Saran Wrap method. It’s so easy yet creates a really complicated looking effect. Here are my latest Saran Wrap nails, to which I added a coat of glitter. I’m not sure how I feel about that addition. Have a peek and let me know! 😉
These nails are Julep Claire w Julep Morgan applied on top w saran wrap. I then added a coat of OPI Servin Up Sparkle. Glitter is one of those things that can either make or break a mani and I think in this case it kinda broke it. My crappy pics don’t help much either. :p Anyway- let me know what you think, don’t forget to enter my julep giveaway and till next time- Happy Polishing!! 😀
I would prefer a light dusting of the tips, not using glitter on the entire nail. U could also use Northern Lights top coat for a lighter effect.
Doing the tips would have been an excellent idea! Next time I’m on the verge of drowning a mani in glitter I’ll try to remember that! 🙂
That looks cool, it is hard to tell what the pattern is under the glitter but you can see the blue and purple. I like it!
Thanks! Yeah I wish I hadn’t used the glitter but oh well- it happens. 😉
I think its really pretty just hard to tell the details with the color choice. I really need to try this. Your always looks awesome!
Yeah the colors are similar, plus the glitter hides lots of the detail. That’s why I was disappointed I nearly killed these nails w glitter. They were super sparkly tho so I liked that! Haha. You definitely need to try it! I better see some Saran wrap nails on your blog soon! 😉
Hahaha yes dear!
that’s a good way to recycle a manicure!!!
Yes it is! Wear one color for a day then saran wrap it for a second. I love doing stuff like that! 🙂
This is beautiful! It’s super sparkly!! ❤
Thanks! That is something I really liked about it- so so SO sparkly! I loved that about it! 🙂
I like it! It’s pretty! Maybe the saran wrap effect is not entirely necessary, but I feel like it wouldn’t have quite as much dimension without it.
I feel the same. You can’t exactly SEE the Saran Wrap effect, but it gives it a bit of a “that looks interesting… What is that?” effect. 🙂 Thanks Lesley!
