Twinsie Tuesday: Saran Wrap Manicure

It's Tuesday, and that means it's time again for Twinsie Tuesday. Today's theme is "Saran Wrap Mani", which sounds weird but is actually a really simple nail art technique that produces some super cool results.

You will need 3 things for the Saran wrap manicure- Saran Wrap (also known as plastic wrap or cling wrap), and then a polish for your base color and one for your top color.

Step 1- Paint your nails with your base color (I used China Glaze Rougish Red) and allow this to DRY COMPLETELY before moving on.
Step 2- Paint over your base color with your top color (in this case, China Glaze Sky High-top).
Step 3-While the top color is still wet, take a small, scrunched up ball of the plastic wrap and do one 'dab' on top of the wet polish. This will pull off some of the top color and reveal the base underneath. This method works best if you do one nail at a time (paint with top color, dab with plastic wrap, move on to next nail and repeat).

Here were my results:

As you can see, it gives you a pretty cool marble effect! I found that doing one good "dab" with the wrap gave me better results than repeatedly dabbing more than once. I love the idea of all the different color combos you can come up with using this technique. So simple and pretty!

Have you ever tried the 'Saran Wrap' mani?
