Faux Saran Wrap Nails

So there is this Saran Wrap nail art tutorial where you put on a one color and let it dry and then put on another color and let it try a few seconds before tapping it with crumpled up piece of plastic wrap. The result is an awesome two tone mottled look, in theory; but totally above my messy tolerance level. If you want to go the Saran route here is a great video by Mattania from QT Place.

Today, I put on a base coat of Cover Girl Outlast in “My Papaya” (#250) and let it dry completely. I topped it with Ceramic Glaze “Watermelon Cooler” (#402). I let each nail dry a couple seconds then tapped down on the second layer with the tip of the nail brush after excess polish was removed. It worked really well with this Ceramic Glaze nail polish because it is kind of goopy to begin with. I then topped with my favorite top coat, Juleps Freedom Polymer. Here’s a final look at the results:

I am happy enough with the results and process to try this again. Have you tried the Saran Wrap nail art process?

    I was gifted the Racy Lacy nail art strips by a Avon rep. I have used nail strips in the past but this is the first time I used this brand. For me nail strips are a novelty item. They will never replace nail polish for me. To me nail polish is more economical (I…
